WASHINGTON. June 14.-Democratlc politicians be-
traythe utmost anxiety respecting the stuationand
prospects of their party and they are
with eager solictude to the dongs of the New
York Convention. The confidence felt in 1ildens
influence, and in the shrewdness and sagacity OF
Manning and his lieutenants is not sufficient TO DIS
pei the fear in many minds that Flower VIII DO
strong enough at least to divide If he cannot con-
troll Ethe New-York delegation. He has few friends
among Democratic Congressman. one of whom to-
day described him that blanked insect IN New
York. who thinks he is candidate for the Presiden"
tial nomination" The Southern man. who used
this language added: Flower thinks the gratitude
of the Virginia Democrats, whom he furnished the
money with which to defeat Malone last fall, will
compel them to give him the vote of that State, but
he will find that it will be only a complimentary
vote If he gets it at ALL"
"What will the New-York Convention do ~ s.
S. Cox asked to-day.
."I cannot tell Cleveland seems TO have the
moral bulge, while Flower has a majority of dele
gates 1t will be a struggle between numbers on
the one side and morals on the other and. you
know, the Democratic party is now the party OK
morality and reform" Mr. Cox thinks everything
depends upon the action of the Convention, and he
effect that majority of the delegates will go to
Saratoga for Flower.
Some of the Democrats in Washington who be
| long to the Tammany Hall organization are out
| spoken in their opposition to Cleveland, and they
speak with some asperity of Mr.. Dorshemers assur-
| ances that he will be the choice of the New-lork
| delegation to Chicago. One OF them SAID: l..
"DOrsheimer may promise Tammanys support 10
Cleveland but he viii not find it easy TO deliver
the goods as he did two years ago. IL Cleveland had
redeemed his promises TO Tammany after he became
Governor matters would look better for him now"

The republication of a revised report of the
speech delivered by Bayard at Dover, Del, in
June 1861, has produced disastrous effect on his
boom.n at least among Democratic Congressman,
who declare that it rules him out of the race.
Southern Representative to-day said
al have read the report of the speech as revised
by Bayard and confess it amazed me- About the
time he delivered that speech in Delaware, was
making speeches in favor of secession pretty well
down toward the Gulf of Mexico / was young,
ardent, and probably indiscTeet but never made z

he says he sees nothing in it now to regret or take

ards reimbursement Of put him out OF the ques-
| tOn."
Like views were expressed by other Southern
Democrats and it is plain that if majority I OF
| Democratic Congressman could have their way
nothing more would be hearG of the Bayard
BOOM" Senator Garland SAID That speech dis:
poses of Bayard. The Democratic party cannot
| afford to nominate him."
1t is understood that the Democratic Campaign
! Committee will try to counteTact Baines popular
ity among the Irish voters by printing speech by
! voorhees, on the arrest and imprisonment IN Eng
! land of McSweeney. 1t will be claimed that during
| the first SIX months of McSweeneys imprlsonment
| Mr.. Blaine was Secretary of State and made no
| efforts to procure his release.
