Uneasiness and Uncertainty Among the
Democrats.
WASHINGTON, June 20th.-The general
feeling among the Democrats here is that
the Cleveland boom has received a very
serious setback by the action of the New
York State Convention. Friends of the
Governor, while they have not given up all
hope of his securing the nomination, are
not as confident as they were before the
meeting of the Convention. The general
opinion is that the Democrats of New York
have frittered away all of their strength
The failure of New York TO unite on can
didate has left the field as open as it was
before the Convention was held, and
q feeling OF uneasneSS and uncertainty
prevails among the friends of all the candi-
dates. Among the Democratic politicians
in Washington it is admitted that Tam
many has captured the organization in
New York, and that John Kelly will be a
potent factor in naming the candidate upon
whom the New York delegation will unite,
and this knowledge has given renewed
hope TO the friends of Bayard, who say
that Kelly will support the Delaware Sen
ator in preference TO Cleveland. Flower
stock has picked up greatly within the past
day or two, as the open field gives him a
chance to use his money, and grave fears are
expressed that he may be able to buy
the nomination. Bayard's friends are
pushing his candidacy for all they are
worth, and they say they have fair
chance of success, notwithstanding all talk
about the Dover speech. Despite the set
back received by Cleveland at Saratoga. the
impression seems to be among the major
ity that the action of other States which
have instructed for Cleveland the declina-
ton of Tilden, as well as the strong feeling
| known to exist in favor of that gentleman
among a large number of uninstructed del
egates from other States, will force New
York to take him up as their candidate
Quite as much speculation is INDUCED in
as to who will get the second place, as there
| is on the head of the ticket The opinion
prevails that there ought to be soldier on
| the ticket, and General Palmer, of Illinois,
seems to be the fayorite for that position.
| CarlisleiSnot talked of much for the second
| or any other place on the ticket. His friends
here realize that Carlisle has even more
| difficulties to overcome in the way of secur-
ing the nomination than Randall, who is
favored for the nomination by representa-
tives of the States which are necessary to
the success of the Democratic party, al
though he is opposed by the majority of the
| Democrats in Congress, on account of his
| opposition to the Morrison tariff bill
The Star tonight says that Governor
| Hendricks has telegraphed to a friend that
while it was greatly against his inclination
| to run as Governor of Indiana and being
opposed by his wife, he would accept the
nomination if it was deemed that the inter
ests of his party demanded it. The Demo-
Gratis in the House say that if he does ac-
cept they will certainly carry the State,
both on State and national issues.
