A'ulGU OLD TINE.
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
SYRACUSE. NJ T., April 10.-Democratic
caucuses were held in the three Assembly
Districts of Onondaea County to-day to
choose delegates to the State Convention to
be held in this city on the GOTH Tilden suf-
fered a most ignoninious defeat ID every dis
trict. In the First District, the Hon. VILE
lam c. Huger, n. II. Bl.nn, and Samuel AL
Hopkins, anti-Tilden men, We're elected. In
the Second District Robert E. Dorchester,
G. ". Hill, and S. Z. Mann were chosen.
These gentlemen are opposed to Tilden. In
the Third District the Tilden men
made a strenuous effort to secure the
delegates, but they failed. Tilden had
the organization last year, consequently the
Chairman, ]. Page Monroe, was Tilden
man. Two delegations appeared from
Manlius one headed By John F. Gaynor and
the other by Levi Smell. The Gaynor delega-
ton were TiIden and the Smell anti-Tilden.
The Chair ruled that the Gaynor delegation
were entitled to seats. The ayes and noes
were called for, but
THE CHAIRMAN REFUSED TO PUT THE NO
TON.
Col Strong appealed from the decision Of
the Chair. Twenty-four delegates voted in
favor OF calling the ayes and noes. The Chair
refused to put the motion until compelled
to by determined expressions, and then, in
the face Of a three-fourths vote in favor of
the motion, declared it lost. The widest
confusion prevailed. The crowd s1rged up
to the platform, and shook their fists under
the Chairman's nose, and cursed and swore
summary vengeance. For half an hour the
meeting was perfect pandemonium. Po-
lice1nen were summoned, but order could
not be restored until Col. Strong, anti-Tilden,
mounted 4 chair, and asked the attention Of
the asseMlblage. AS soon: as his voice could
be heard he asked the delegates to step for
ward. The roll was called, but was inter
ruptcd several times BY the irruptiye feelings
OF the outraged gathering. 3laledictions

the consequence of it is the lobby pool here

The House Appropriations Committee has
declined to adopt the Senate amendment to
add to the Deficiency bill enough to COM

WASHINGTON, D. O., April 1o.-Imme-
diately succeeding the report that the Irving
and Tammany Hall Democracy in New York
had been unable to reconcile their differ
ences and that the division in the State is
likely to continue over the Presidential cam
paign, the news comes from Philadelphia
that the attempt to unite the Wallace and
Randall factions in Pennsylvania has proved
a failure. Senator Wallace, who has been
there for 4 day or two considering the propo-
sit1ons that have been made to hin, BY the
Randall faction, returned to-day, and says
that no adjustment is possible; that Randall
made overtures to him which lie could not
and did not accept. The consequence is that
l2andall's Presidential boom has not received
the encouragement at home that he hoped it
would.
