selves to support Mr. Kelly. and it is claimed that
other cities viii not be far behind. Although Mr..
lzed TIL to-day. ii would appear as il his friends
have not been inactive in his behalf. Documents
and newspapers have been sent to every district in
the State, containing most bitter arraignment OF
the course adopted by the present Governor toward
the democracy of this county. To counteract the
influence of these papers the supporters Of the Gov
ernor nave flooded every city with a record showing
how much the State debt has been reduced under
the present administration and giving other satst
cal information to the conduct OF the canals and
State prisons. 1t is also intended by the Robinson
ties thoroughly reorganze the party in the yari
GUS districts in this city. and for that purpose
committee Of fifteen will soon be appointed. Robin
son and Potter clubs will be formed wherever prac-
ticable and q most thorough and comprehensive
canvass Will be entered upon in u few days.


The republicans continue to stick 10 their work
like beavers. The campaign documents that are de-
sired to be sent ont OF the city put in regular
United States mali Gags which are kept in the head
quarters Much surprise has been occasloned at the
sight these official letter bags il party campaign
room. as they are usually supposed to be used tor
public purposes. There are about twenty or thirty
bags in the Republican State Committee room.


SUNDAY AT THE HEADQUARTERS.


The headquarters OF the different political organ
izations visited yesterday by large number OF
prominent gentlemen, and although there not
much business transacted usual. yet the clerks
and other attendants OF the various mittees
found enough to occupy their attention. There
nothing specially interesting to chronicle ut either
of the rival democratic places of gathering. At the
Robinson rooms at the st. James Hotel entire conf
dence to reign in the ability of the present
executive to carry the state member OF the State
Central Committee who has studied the situation in
this city, and who was at time identified with
the Kelly movement, told herald reporter yester-
day that Robinson would receive handsome
majority in New York county.


''What makes you think SOP" the reporter in
quired.


'well." was the reply. .I'n tell you. You see. in
the first place, Mr.. Kelly has little patronage
to draw followers to his standard. The masses will
go wherever they see chance OF getting something
from the public crib They will not follow man
who has nothing to reward their fidelity with. Nor
will they be apt to support person who will be
politically killed no matter which way the election
turns out. II Cornell is elected Tammany will
be said to have been the cause Of Robinson's
defeat; while on the other hand. If the present
Governor is successful. there is end to
Kellys in politics The people OF this city
beginning to understand this. and when all of them
do Kelly will be nowhere. Then. again, you must
remember that there is another difficulty in the way
of accomplishing the defeat OF Robinson. There
will be county ticket in the field this year, and the
pressure in fsvor OF various candidates is very
strong. Now. Kelly cannot ignore any Of the men
that have thus far been put forward, and when the
selection comes to be made there will be considers
BILE growing and perhaps bargaining. When man
who considers that he is entitled to place fails
to receive it he generally not in the best spirits
and will be more than likely to make the best bar
gain he can with the opposition. Kelly. in my
opinion will lose more than is popularly supposed
account Of this.
