TAMMANY HALL TO BE EXCLUDED
among the objects sought by holding q late Demo-
uatc convention is the exclusion of John Kelly
WIN his Iammany Hall delegates from the Conven-
non. Advantage is TO be taken of the impression of
the country Democrats that if Mr. Kelly had tos
iaoeo with Republicans for votes for Mayor Grace
tnat Hancock would have been elected President.
mr' Kelly shall not get into the convention hall
even IL he goes TO the back door, said a promineat
Ihden Democrat here few days ago : and his
words were applauded by other Tilden Democrats
standing by his side. Mr.. Kelly is aware of Tho
benevolent intentions of Mr.. Tden. and, therefore,
through his newspaper organs Is clamoring for an
early Convention, it being seemingly his he
lief, and that of his allies. that the Tamnany
Hall delegates would have better chance of ad
mission TO an early convention than to late one,
arguing that the country Democrats, while willing
TO face the rage of Tammany Hall its exclusion
for month, would not welcome two months of
party dissension. But Daniel Manning. OF this eitv.
Mr. Tildens chief lieutenant, and practically tho
head of the Democratic State Committee pcrceivas
this position of the contendng factions as clearly
as Mr. Kelly. He does not intend TO grant ezrly
convent N. 1t is in vain that Mr.. Kelly's news
paper organs announce with great show Of telling
news that the Democratic State Committee is TO
meet on this or that day; Mr.. Manning only Smiles
HE reports were utterly without foundation.
Nothing has been done toward calling the Commit
tee together yet; and despite Mr. KelIy's agitation
of the subject little attention has been paid 10 it.
Dir. Kelly's chief argument for holding an
early convention and having q long politi-
cal campaign mas been that the Demo
cratic party must take advantage, beforo
they smOothed over, of supposed quarrels among
Republicans originating in the long contest for
United States Senator. But this argument has hsd
little persuasive power with the Tden managers
owing to their perceiving that the Republicans were
determinedly harmonious.
While postpOning the Convention the TiIden
Democrats are laboring to deprive Mr. Kelly Of al
chance of securing admission for the Tammany Hall
delegates The country Democratic newspapers
have been filed with aise of the organization Of
the Democrats of New-York City effected by the
of One Hundred. Coupled with this
praise the idea is suggested of recognzi g the dele
gates sent TO the Convention by this organization a.

relies little on the Irving Hall organization, which

II is natural that while this preliminary skrmish
IS going on that candidates for the several Ststs

marked. There is apparently a disposition. how
