New YORK, June 15.-The question of
who will be Mr.. Tilden's successor in the
Democratic party is growing more complicat-
ed and less certain daily. Yesterday Gov.
Cleveland was more talked of than he has
been to-day. The statesmen of the party
are growing exceedingly non -committal.
Like Congressman Dorsheimer and Faux
Hurd, of Ohio, who are in town to-day, they
content themselves with declaring that there
is plenty of real good Democratic timber
from which to choose a standard bearer and
much depends upon good frank, manly
platform. These two statesmen are
certain that the tariff must be
one of the issues, but Dorsheimer thinks the
platform of 1876 puts the question in about
the right light The leaders in the state are
working hard preparatory to the Saratoga
convention next week. The Kings county
delegates are as yet uncommitted. Boss
Mclaughlin will go with the delegation,
which will be controlled largely by him and
by Senator Jacobs. 1t is understood that the
plan is to postpone to Chicago any fight as to
ssndidateS and if possible to send an un-
| pledged and uninstructed delegation there,
under the theory that a choice that will be
better advantage three weeks hence. Gen.
| Slocum has many friends in the Kings coun-
| ty delegation who, if the race seems to be
| for state candidates will be inclined to press
| his name as strongly as the friends of Gov.
Cleveland press their favorite. Senator
Jacobs says that the Kings county delegates
will not be solid for Cleveland. Some of the
leaders in the state will work hard to have
the choice made at Saratoga and to have the
Chicago delegates vote as one man. There
Will fight at Saratoga on this, without
much doubt.
THE TAAIMANY DEMOCRACY
last night gave notice to the state convention
that they must have equal representation in
the convention with the county Democracy
The Hon. John Kelly on calling the commit
tee on organization to order, said: 'sEither
we belong to the Democratic party or we do
not My adyice is that you maintain your
position with the courage and firmness char
acteristic of an American citizen. We want
q united party and we want to elect Demo-
cratic president. This organization should
be admitted on equal terms with our
Democratic associates in this city, The
districts were then called and it was found
that 460 Tammany men would go to the state
convention. Senator Grady then took the
floor.
''The time for sacrifice has passed,' he
said, s'We must either march side by side
with the county Democracy or accept re.
fusal Of equal representation as a declaration
of war. Applause. There can be no united
front this year unless Tammany has vote fol
vote in the convention with the county de
mocracy. Tammany should see to it that
man is nominated for president who
will recognize this organization
claims after he is elected
We don't want man nominated because he
is calculated to do the least harm to the bet
ter element OF the Republican party and tt
political dudes generally. [Applause] The
Republican papers, who did not have theil
own way at Chicago in June, are seeking te
have it at Chicago in July. for one want
the man who is to beat James g. Blaine tc
be better Democrat than James G. Blaine
himself is. We can live through four years
more of hostile administration, but we can.
not be smothered by an administration
which will be only professedly Democratic .
The room rang with applause when Mr..
Grady concluded.
