special dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
NEW YORK, June 26-There has been great deal
OF comment among democratic politicians in this
city to-day over the action OF the Ohio democracy
yesterday in booming the s'old ticket OF T1lden
and Hendricks There was an informal conference
at the Fifth Avenue hotel last evening, at which
prominent democrats, including ex-senator Bar
mum, Senators Mcpherson OF N. J., and German OF
Nd, ex-senator Davis OF West Virginia,
Roswell P. Flower and others were
present The drift OF sentiment was against the
nomination of Gov Cleveland at Chicago In favor
OF the nomination OF Mr.. Tlden. But there was no
formal conclusion, and the discussion was for the
purpose OF comprehending the situation In advance
OF the Chicago convention.
Chairman Manning, Of the state committee, on
the contrary, has telegraphed to Mr.. Miller, prom
hent democrat In Omaha IN reply to an inquiry that
the New York delegation is Overwhelmingly for
Cleveland. John Kelly says that this is part of an
attempt TO make 1t appear that Cleveland is
ldoZed In New York, and that the only op-
position to him arises from a handful OF
Tammany educators" He denies this and prints
Two columns from the democratic papers Of the state
