SYRACUSE, Sept. I.-After two days of wOrdy
strife and bitter contention about commander the
Democratic party has at length launched its BARI
for the Autumn cruise with Samuel j. Tlden as cap
tain. little more than third of the party as
represented in the Convention recorded their pro-
test against the selection; and if their talk before
and since the nomination any index Of their feel


ings and purposes, there is likely to be q serious
mutiny among the crew during the voyage. In
other words. the nominee for Governor cannot re-
ceive more than lukewarm support, even If he
escapes the open covert opposition of the party in
the middle and western portion of the State. Under
these circumstances victorious campaign is not
anticipated with much confidence, and few delegates
outside Of Mr.. Tildens intimate personal friends ex
press any hopes Of it, unless they are talking for
buncombe. 4..I, .r. ..flf.1 ,I ...t o. r.r /


Many are scarcely less dissatisfied with the Sec
ond name on the ticket than with the first. Not
that they have any objections to Mr.. Dorsheimer
personally, or to his capacity and fitness for the
office of fLeutenant-Governor,b but they say his nom
ination was simply bid for Liberal Republican
support of the ticket, without any guaranty that it
will be forthcoming. Mr.. Beebe expressed appre-
hension on this point when he told the Convention
that the Liberals, while accepting the man whom
the Democrats had given them for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor would be quite likely to select for the head Of
their ticket the candidate OF the opposite party,
thus making the bargain altogether one-sided af-
affair. What the Democrats needed above all was
some the ticket to call out the strength and
inspire the enthusiasm of the young Democrats Of
the State and the to do that Smith NJ. Weed.
But Littejohns sonorous appeal in behalf Of Liberal
recognition and the nomination of DOrsheimer.
carried tho Convention against the more cautious
and calculating policy of Beebe. and the Democracy
now find themselves saddled with ticket whose
head was nominated under protest and whose body
and tail contain no name which can be made a
rallying-cry in the canvass, or draw forth any
enthusiasm OF extra exertion among the rank and

enough to admit in its issue this evening, that its
chief hold on the sufferance of the people is inthe
persistent laundering of the opposition.


There is one thing the Convention can coDgratu-
late itself on and that is that the bad blood known
to exist among the TammaDy leaders and those
from the western part of the State did not break
out into open rupture as most people anticipated
This may be attributed to the conciatory speech of
ex-Gov Seymour, at the opening of the Convention
this morning. and the general desire to avoid the
disgrace that would attend row. The bad blood
exists however in as virulent form as ever. The
appearance in The Syracuse Standard this morning of
dispatch from Judge Waterbury to the Secretary
of the State Committee added fuel to the fame and
John Kelly has been busy during the day in utter
ing his threats against the publisher Of the telegram,
and the Secretary, Joseph Warren, who allowed it

that Kelly's Tobberes while he Sheriff were as
bad as Garveys Ingersos that the facts will all
be published on Friday morning, and that meantime
Kelly should stand aside for neither Mr.. Tlden nor

joced to have the charges proved true as Mr.. Kel-
