NEW YORK PoLIuCs
are coming to the front again. Kelley
assailed the rival democratic organi-
cations to Tammsny Hall last night
and intimated combustion il he was
kept out of the state convention, but
it is believed he is strong enough on

dates for the important nomination
of attorney general, is Martin /. Nc
Mahan, long chef of staff of General
John Sedgwick. The country allies
of Tammany Hall seem inclined to
call a truce with the Tilden- Robson
interest. BY some Mr.. Tilden is con
sidered u candidate for the presiden-
cy again. Many of his friends allege
that his only interest in politics is to
sec that his friends are not abused.
II REPUBLICANS
III this state are uneasy on account of
the ill-concealed resentments between
the administration and Grant factors.
1t is noticed that ex-senator Plat,
whom Mr.. Conkling put over the
convention in II, is again made
chairman of the state committee meet
ing and the convention is called for
New York City where the partizans of
Vice. President Arthur are in
almost complete control. Arthur is
PASSIVE AND DIGNIFIED.
The stalw arts. however, who have
been in power so long, need but a nod
to become thrice stalwart. The issue
of victory in this state lies with Gar
field. 1t is noticeable that all politi-
cal bodies here passed resolutions of
coincidence with him except the New
York state republican committee.
