Syracuse was appolnted the place for the State Conven- yion, to bu held Hept, 25 Resolutions were adopted declaring it an fmperative necessity to eclect n majority of Democratic Congressmen ts fall, &8s tho election of the mext President may devolve upon the House of Rep- rescutatives, and also o mnjority of State As- scmblymen, In order to elect 8 Demouratic Senator In Conkling's vlace. A speelal from Saratoza to the Times of this city saya: It is conceded ou all hands that 8am Tilden will not venble to capture the State Conventlon or recure the State Committee this vear, and the prevalling opinlon among Democrats here, in- cluding many of Tilden's furmer supporters, is a thet S DAY 18 PAST, and that all efforts to revive him s o candidate for the Prestdency In 1860 will be futile. Ko well convinced ars his friends of thelr weakness that no serious effort will bo made to control the State Conventlon, They are all now advocating harmony, trusting to the chanves of resurrecting Tiden next year, when the Presidential contest will bo nearer at hand. Tilden's opponents, lowever, claim that Nis chances next vear will be slimmer than this, aud that, when ho was defeated fu the Btate Conventlon lust year, e was shelved as a politician for ali thne. JOIIN KELLY expects to ho Boss of the coming State Conven- tion, sudd he will allow the Tildenites no quar- ter. ‘Thay virtually conceds his suprem- acy Dby thelr eringing attitude toward them, and the sneaking overtures thoy are maklng to secure s fuvor, undor the plenof o necessity for harmony In the party.
