GOOD CHANCE THAT THEY WILL. INDORSE HIM
NEXT THURSDAY
The action Of the National Democratic
Greater New-York Convention. led by the
Grace Scott-Pow faction. in adjourning Its
meeting at Cooper Union on Friday evening
without making nominations was subject
which the politicians toyed with a good part
OF YESTERDAY. For some time it has been known
that the Gold Democracy and the Democratic
Union had decided to support the Tammany
ticket this fall The leaders thought this an
easy thing TO arrange, but they made some
miscalculations which may bring the National
Democratic organization Of New-York City and
Greater New-York TO grief before the next full
moon
They miscalculated. to begin with. the head
strong disposition Of Croker to nominate a
ticket which would prove distasteful and nau-
seating to respectable Democrats Of all descrip-
tons They mscalculated the honest inten-
tions and frmness OF their own copartisans Of
Brooklyn, who refused to DC sold and delivered
over TO Croker and Mclaughlin. The popu
Iarity Of Seth Low in their own organization
was also an unexpected and by means
pleasing surprise to ex-Mayor Graces faithful
lieutenants.
What will happen when the National Demo-
Gratis meet in adjourned session on Thursday.
October I, at p. m. was one or the things
anxiously canvassed Yesterday. The Tammany
County Convention meets at o'clock p. m. on
that day. What Tammany proposes do will
be known probably before the National Demo-
Gratis get under way again. The Grace men
are much afraid that the apparent majority
by which they able TO adjourn the con-
vention on Friday evening will in the mean
time fade out OF sight. and that the Demo-
Gratis who believe in nominating Low will be
tn idad ms

with the Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond del

Manhattan and Bronx il became apparent that

Scott were unwilling to carry out the pro-
gramme OF these gentlemen. There were a
good many solid. substantial men from Man
