SYRACUSE Sept. 2l.-The Democratic State Con-
vent0n during its session Of two hours to-day, did
not exhibit the signs Of harmony and GOODWILL 80

garden han anything else. The hand Of the Tiden
manchine laid heavily upon the convention,
and the programme mapped out by ii was carried
through. This was not done without great dIiii-
Guilty however. and at the expense Of RGfus w.

placed in a trying and evidently distastefu place.

but he managed 10 do II. He succeeded in having
the convention adjourned until 10 a. H. tomorrow.
without leaving the public any wiser than before
the convention met what will be the future
tiOn The general belief last night was that Tam
many would be admitted. and that Is still the
general feeling; but there vas nothing that the
convention lid to-day TO confirm shat view un-
less 1t the apparent unwilngness Of the
County Democracy to allow vote to be taken that
would show the sense of the convention.
A great deal of noise made in behalf OF Tam
many and Irving Halls. aud their advocates were
very persistent in their vain efforts Ia exclude the
COuaty Democracy from sitting as judges on their
own case. Yet when il Is considered VINO made this
noise It will not be for wonder.

Ring helped 10 keep up the refrain with their feet
and hands. This does not indicate n change Of
sentiment in regard to Tammany except 20 far as
it is shown by the reappearance Of these
men in a Democratic convention The
bodness which they exhibited in
championing Tammanys cause evidence OF
their belief that Tilden has really withdrawn from
public life and that the power OF his machine has
been broken.

Brooklyn delegation. Senator Jacobs first offered
q resolution that the credentials of all contesting
delegations be referred to a committee of thirty

own member This a satisfactory resolution to
the County Democracy, buf later in the proceedings
Mr. Jacobs endeavored TO have tho
Comfy Democracy excluded from any repre-
sentation on that committee. aud stated
that he had been instructed by his delegation
10 make such motion. THIS was a detection which
the County Democratic leaders did not look for

Ii is well understood that Tammany has promised
to vote for Slocum for Governor which was the price
of the support OF Kings County for Tammany's ad-

his reference to John Kelly, has further injured
the chances of Nr. Flower The County De-
mocracy carried its point in the convention. and

There was great deal of ill-feeling shown over
