THE TABLE.
The movement for the nomination of Samuel
J. Tden for Governor did not make long leap forward

luton offered at previous meeting by
Eugene Cruger, nominating "for Governor OF this
State, subject the decision OF the Regular Democratic
State Convention the Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, mindful Of
his might and mindful Of his right" The young
as well as several of middle age and had gray
HAIR considered the question calmly and debated 1t
with little enthusiasm ~ If they were holding an III
quest on the body Of a political mummy Even the
reference the "sage Of Greysone, late of Gramercy
Park" failed to call forth the usual noisy approval OF
Democratic hands and throats.
william Van Wyck opened the discussion in the inter-
ests Of harmony by reminding the
club that he had been a member OF the
Shakespeare Hall Convention which nominated John
Kelly Governor in 1879. He hoped the alusicn to
the regular Democratic Convention did not imply the
possibility OF irregular one. lie thought the intro
duction of the resolution premature. motion was
promptly offered that the resolution lie upon the table,

was exactly right but suggested that the club re-
spectfuy urge the Democratic Convention to nominate
Samuel J. Tden for Governor" he believed that the re-
dempton the Democratic party mist DO through the
nomination of Samuel j. Tilien prominent Democratic
Statesman OF anti Tden leanings had expressed to the
speaker tho very same recipe for accomplishing the
salvation of the party. If this resO-
lution were passed 1t might amount TO
nothing as lt was doubtful whether Mr. Tden could DE
