AND BEFORE THE BATTLE,
The Closing Scenes of the Greatest Chi
cago COnvention-The Shouters and
the Sore Heads - Tammany
and the Ticket, Etc.

scarcely NeSuge OF the Democratic
convention just closed is now discover
able in the city. The large majority of
the delegates and candidate boomers
left on Friday night and Saturday
morning. Tammany left in supreme
disgust on Friday evening. The willy
Kelly, the 'silver-toned Grady" and
the eloquent Cochran were non
attitude of Tammany toward
the Democratic nominees. After Cleve-
land was nominated number of the
most prominent local Republican lead
ers called upon Kelley and tried their
utmost to ascertain the course he pur-
posed to pursue. But they came away
no wiser than they were before. The
consummate tact of the man was never
more forcibly manifested than in that
interview.
No one knows to-day just what Kelly
and Tammany will do. The most
authentic indication in that direction is
the utterance of Kelly to representa-
tive Of the Daily News before Cleveland
was nominated. Said he: Summary is
here opposing him chiefly because he
cannot carry New York. If he is nomi-
mated | will not raise my hand to elect
him. That may as well be understood
first as last, and if he thinks he can be
elected without Tammany let
him try it," After the con
ference of prominent Republicans
with Kelly, above referred to, Long
Jones was heard to say: "That Kelly Is
great man. | tell you he's bigger
man than most men credit him With
being" Many Western people were
impressed with the power and respecta-
bility of Tammany by what they OBJ
served of its representatives who were
here last week. Some eight hundred
Tammanyites were here. They were a
fire body of men. Not one saw single
Tammany man drunk or acting ungen-
tlemanly. Nothing whatever occurred
TO substantive the belief, which many
held, that they were Il crowd of bum
mers.
Il. X. Apgar one of the chief managers
OF the Cleveland boom during the con-
vention, was met yesterday afternoon
in the Palmer house. 81 think Kelly
will support the ticket" he said. "He
said before the convention that he
would support the nominee, and think
he will. IL will come Il little hard for
Inn, but he fought Tiden in 1876 more
bitterly than he did Cleveland, and vet
he supported him after the nomination.
You see, Tammany has local election

1t cannot do it very well unless it acts
with the party. / think the ticket
the best, perhaps, which could
have been put up. Hendricks strength

ocrats were defrauded in 1876. The
ticket will get the support of the indie
pendent Republicans in New York, and
| think there are about 100000 of them
who will vote for it. For the first time
since 1t was started, the New York
Herald comes out with Presidential
candidates at the head of its editorial
columns. 1t Is for Cleveland and Hem
bricks. So is the New York Times, the
Evening Post and Harper's Weekly. I
shall be surprised if we don't carry Now
York by $1,000 majority. No, have no
idea what Butler is going to do.r

Ex-Goy. Hubbard, of Texas, fingered
IN the city until last evening. Yester-
day afternoon his immense frame was
taxing the stability of one of the sofa
chairs in the Grand Pacific rotunda, and
Gov, Stockton, of California, the Hon.
MI. Fenlon, OF Kansas, and several 9th
ers were sitting around like pigmies, all
engaged in political conversation.

was asked Mr.. Hubbard.

am perfectly satisfied"
"How are the Texas people on the
tariff question:"
'The platform expresses our views eX-
actly. You read that over and YOU will
have Just what Texas wants."
GoV. Hubbard and Fenlon both left for
home yesterday. Mai. Handy, manage
ing editor of the Philadelphia Press, and
one OF the confidential Blaine counselors
during the Republican convention, also
left yesterday for the East. "Hendricks,"
he said, twill lower himself in the esti-
nation of the great majority of the peo-
pie II he accepts the nomination. He
was treated sllabblly in not being given

ially pleased over the nominations, SO
1ar rs can learn, are the Independents
in New York. They would have beon
placed In a very awkward position If
Cleveland or Bayard had not been NOM
mated. Beat the ticket? OF course we
will beat 1t? There's not doubt of that
in my mind.n
The hotel proprietors and clerks all
profess to be glad that the convention is
over and that the throng has departed.
The professions of the former, however.
