Such influences to-day are agreed tobe the one man power of Tammany Hal! and tho peculiar cabinet of that organization, banded gether in an‘unboly war tor office and patronage: the remnants of the scattered Canal — Ring, crumbled to pieces under the attack of 1875; the Court of Appenis interests incensed by thevigorous sledgehammer blows of the same po- Tiod, together with the *‘ragtag and bobtail” of the political camp follow ors of those organizations going to make up the Faistaflan army of protessioval otfice- holders, This isthe view sought to be given the Present controversy by Mr. Tilden’s supporters at regent on the ground ut Syracuse.

KELLY SAID, On Mr. Kelly’s arrivai he was surrounded by a num- Der of iouding delegates, who wished to know some- thing as to the situation, They wanted to ascertain ‘who would bold tue Convention. “1 can tell you now,” said Mr, Kolly, “that wo have thig Convention.

Then ddi~ towal rumor was circulated that one of the wati- Committoomen was detainod in consequence of Ress OF something vise, Which would izave the body fourteen to sixteen, Governor Robinson's Irieuds now wanted only two more to capture the committes and absolutely control the appoin Ment of a temporary chairman, which, if the Present peculiar situation would give them almost Gortain victory in the Convention itself, These ru- Mors caused conaider: excitement around the Vanderbilt house, upon th ond floor of which the committee was In’ session, vestibule was Crowded with an excited group of pouticia JOUN YOX ON THE SITUATION, £x.

THE OLIVE - President Hayes To Be Complimented in Glittering Generalities, VIEWS OF THE LEADING DELEGATES eee (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Saratoga, N. ¥., Sept. 24 1878, The fatthiul Cornelius Van Cott has been the first detegate to the republican Convention to put in an appearance at Saratoga. He urrived this afternoon and at present holds undisputed possession of tho halis aud parlor of the United States Hotel, As ho expresses the confilent belief that Mr, Conkling ana his friends will bave at least four-fifths of the Con- vention and as there is no one here at present to re- fute that position the question of Hayos or aut!-Hayos in Thorsday’s gathering may be regarded as already tied. “Whatcan the opponents of Senator Conkling in this Convention hope to do?” asks Cornelug ‘‘iney used to boast that if they got the Custom House they could take the organization rightoutol Mr. Conkling’s hands im the city. Weil, they have got what they wanted and they have coutrived to carry the Fil- teenth district—one single district In New York city, ‘This will fairly represent their strength all over tho State. The Convention will bo quiet and harmonious, because it will be all one way and Auge the major- ity are desirous of peace and harmony and simply want to unite all republicans by ignoring outside questi on which thero are differonces of opinion and thus to carry the State.”” The opinion expressed by Mr. Van Cott is enter- tained by the leading republicans in Saratoga, where there are pienty of politicians, and by prominent re- publican visitors who have extended their sojourn into the losing hours of tho scasen, é SENTIMENT IN SARATOGA, There.was an attempt at electing an anti-Conkling -Gologation in ts county, but it failed decisively, and the voice of Saratoga will be heard in favor of ignor- 10g ail reference to the national aaministration in the Convention and of confining the platform to the . bona fide agtivetesues of the hour, Ex-Cengreasman Marvin, who was to former years an earnost Morgan map, to-day declared in conversation that while there are to be found in this county many republicans _Who do not like Mr, Conkling, scarcely one can bo discovered who does not condemn tho assault mado upon bim by the aasional administration, and who 18 not, in consequenee, favorabio to bis re-election to the United States Senate. The treachery of a repub. lican Assemblyman (ex-Speeker Youngieve) deteated Morgan and elected Fenton on a momorabie occusion, and the republicans of Saratoga deciuro thus such treason shail never again stain the party record of this county, t THK OCONKLING STRENGTH AND POLICY, It ts now certainly known that Mr. Conkling will avo control of the Convention, probably by as large &@ mojority as that predicted by Mr. Vau Cott. It is asserted that the policy to be pursued will bo one of conciliation, and that, so far fi made upon Fresident dlaye Pp to declare in glittering generalities that tho country is to be ct ‘atalated that the government did noi in and that it 1s the im- perative duty of all republica: nite in u det mined effort to continue and perpetuate repubitcan Such a plank in the pl }, 10 18 bald, or at least ought tod.

Such a resolution would no doabt carry off trom tho fiayes party a number of its irieods and leave Mr, Curtis almost alone in bis glory, Certainly po more thay this will be conceded and this will only be agrood upon provided the Curtis agitators pledgo themselves not to do anything to diz- turb tne harmony ot the Convention. MK. CURTIS’ COURSK, It ig stated positively, howeve: when hi Bor that Mr. Curtis, at the Unitarian Conterenee, expressed to jo friends his determivation to press ond insist upon a plain, unequivocal indorsemeat of the President’s policy and a direct approval of bis New York Custom House suspensions and appointments as im the true line of civil eervice retorm and in cou- sistency with nis pledges, Uniess this enall beagreed upon be will be preparea, it 1s alloged, with facts and figures to make a severc altack on the recent Custom House management. A story 18 curren$ here that Mr. Curtis oither showed a prominent Boston republican a lotter received by bim trom the President, or told him of his receipt of such a letter, expressing the desire that New York Stato should, in its Repabiican Convention, give that aid, coantenance aod moral encouragement to his administration which bo repudiicans of other States in t which he has recently been greeted. Curtis ex- pressed bis conviction that his aay republican demanded bis earnest advocacy of such a policy in the Convention, and bis determination to present tho point under any and ail circumetances to the bitter eud, FRELING OF CONKLING’S VRIEXDS. Wailo Mr. Conkling’s Irieuus agree in tho statement that bo bas dectured his desire lor peace aud harmony in the Convention, they fecl satisfied that should sr, Curtis or any other delegate insist on a fight tho Senator will cast bis pacific jutention to the wind and be prepared tor en- counter, The 18 @ feport that Mr, Conkling has prepared for the Convention, in which peace 118, but his well known fightiog quaitti to the couviction that, 1 un- justly apsulied, eituer personaily or through bis Irionds, he will be likely to ehange the tone vf Lis ad- droes Very materially.

CURTIS. Mr. Curtis was teund sitting ata window of the Tending room of United States Ketel this evening in close conservation with Mr, Van Cott, of Brooklyn. As the two gentlemen seemed somewhat caruest in the conference, some of the Conkling delogates, in passing, mado the romark that sir. Curtis was just then engaged in about as difficult a piece of civil ser- vice relorm as he had ever undertuken. They evi- dently believed the reformer was trying the power of his sive eloquence upon Mr. Van Cott. the conversation was ended Mr. Curtis gave a ready and courteous response to the questions put to him by the Heranp correspondent. “it 1s, of course, impossible,” saia Mr. Cartis, “to ib advance of the action of a coavention, what a gate’s course may be, but certainly there will bo no desire aud no effort on my part fo disturb the bar- mony of the Convention sbould it act with the ju ment and honesty whicn I hope aud believe will mar. tho proceedings on Thursday next.’’ “What course will be satisfactory to you “I nope the Convention will follow the course pur- Sued in former days vy the republican party, aud say plainly, unequivocally unmistakably just what it means, Ihe republican party bas never in the past deen io tho habit of suying what it meant tu lan- guage that could bo interpreted in one way by one set of people and in enother way by another set, I shall be satisfled if it meois tho finan- cial question in this decisive, flat-footed manner, The republican party is the party pot of bard money only, batof gold, It upnolds gola coin as the standard ooin of the commercial world wud cannot afford to temporize or equtvocate on that question fora single moment. Should it hesitate on that point or taii to speak in bold Janguage the purty is defunct. On this every republican who desires the continued existence of the party should be united.” “Phere isa rumor, Mr. Curtis, that you intend to introduee and press resolutions 1udorsing the Pres- dent and bts policy and approving the Custom House changes in New York. There ja also a rumor, no doubt unfounded, that you have received a letter irom the Prosident oxpreseing the opinion tbat New York State ought to give nis administration the moral encouragement of its indorsement and approval. Ace thege rumors true??? ‘4 certainly do not desire to do anything to disturb the harmony of the Convention,’’ sutd Mr. Curtis, “apd do not think there will bo any necossity to do so. I recognize the fact that the Couvention is of tbe game complexion as that of last year by at least as large a majority. If that mejority acts with hon republican spirit I shali certainly be contented, From all I bear I veli it will do vo and that is all any r Publican can desire, Should it tail to express repub- lican sentiments iu a straightiorward manner there will, no doubt, be an attempt to rectify the mistake. But until it is known what the Convention does itis, ol course, impossible to say what apy individual dei- ogate wil: do. ‘The prospect now seems to favor harmony, There isa ruwor thet Mr. Conkit frends may desire Some Lou-positive resolutions on fipance, but this is digeredited. Mr. Curtis evidently is dispoed to com- promise on a financial platform that will virtually in- dorse all Hayes’ recent speeches and to claim a triumph on shat. CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS, AN UNQUALIFIED HARD MONEY PLATFORM ADOPIED—QUALIFIED INDORSEMENT oF PRESIDENT HAYFS—OHARLES B, ANDREWS THE NOMINEE FOR GOVEUNOR, Maxrvorp, Conn., Sept. 24, 1878, The Republican State Convontion met at Allyn Hall this morning. Colonel H. A. R. Hoyt, of Greenwich, was chogen temporary chairman, and, on taking the chair, made a strong speech in favor of a hard money Platiorm. The usual commitices wero appointed, and the Committee on Credentials reported delegates from nearly every town. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION, The Committees on Permanent Organization reported Stephen W. Keliogg, of Waterbury, president of the Convention. Mr. Kellegg made a special ad- dress, mainly on the financial question, and unequivocally tn favor of bard moncy. Ho claimed that tho republican party must stand by its records in the past—that policy which bas the effect of bringing the greenback dollar up to within half a, cent of the standard gold dollar. Ho reverted to the diffarenco between the hard money declara- tions of the Connecticut democrats three years ago and the dodging in their Now Haven platform last week. The repubiteans will bave none of this but will stand solid for hard money. NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR, The Convention proceeded to tho nominatton of a candidate for Governor, aud Colonel H. W.

Merits of the National Bank- ing System, HARD MONEY AND PROSPERITY. ree eeeereenenene (SY TELEGRAPA To TUF HERALD.) Bostox, Sept, 24, 1878. The audienco whieh assembled in Faneuil Halli to- night to greet Senator Biaino and ratity the Worcester nominations was large, respectable ana as enthusiastic as Boston audiences usually are. A liberal numbor of ladies occupied the galleries, and the Boston Cadet Band enlivened thescene with chuice music. At about halt- Past seven o’clock Seeator Hoar, Collector Beard, ex- Collector Simmons, General Eanks, Minister Kussell, with several other prominent republican politicians took seats on the platform. Simmons and Bunka re- ceived a perfect ovation as they crorsed the platform, The meeting was udvertised to bogin at hal!-past seven, but it was am quarter to eight betore evon the speakor of the evening appeared. Walbridge H. Field presided, and intreduced Mr, Blaine, who made a strong speech in favor of hard money and re- sumption, Three cheers were given for Blaiue, fol- jowed by three cheers for Butler, the latter being mingled with hisses, As soon as Mr, Blaino got to the words “Fellow citizens’* somebody shouted trom the lower ena of the hall ‘‘Mulligan,’? which brought out some laughter, HVILS OF A POLITICAL CURRENCY, The speaker vegan by saying that the American people were engaged in the present campaign in a task which nevor ought to be laid upon them, tho settlement of their currency. One of tho worst things, be sald, for the people of the United States, the one thing which js @ blight on the people, 1s to havo a political corrency. ‘the people of the United States ao not want repabtican monoy nor democratic money, but they want cousti- tutional inonoy for all parties, good for all the people, The tendency of a aiscussion of the fivanctal quostion he claims was to give that worst of all curses ona People, a political currency, The speaker then re- viewed tho history of our paper currency, the war, the needs of the governmont, tho forced loans of 1862, 1863 and 1564, and the legislation of Congress which authorized tbe tssue of the greenback ana the circumstances thon exigting, The great campaign ot 1864, in which Grant, Sherman and our other great generals crushed tho rebellion, which closed at Ap- pomatox, was carried on by a oun of over $1,000,000,000, borrowed on the faith of the govern- ment. Tho men who loaned that money im tho death rugsl of the government put in cash and ‘they cannot bo expected to take out rags, They gavo money and they ought to get money, In order to secure money for for those who came to the country’s reseue the nation pledged its nonor solemnly, and that pledge ts as binding on the people of tnis codntry as the dying in- junction of a mother to her son, that the paper cur- rency should never exceed ¢400,000,000. That limit must not be excecded. BUTLERITES INTERRUPT THE SENATOR. At this point !t became evident that the hall con- tatned a fiberal sprinkling of greenbackers, democrats and Butler men, Mr. Blaino was plied with questions from all parts of the house. Whou he asked how the People could regulate the issue of paper money when ‘once that barrier was broken down a voice retorted, “By tho constitution.” “Yes, Congress is the body that of the constitution.” + about the frauds t havo been discovered in Con- gress?’ (Laughtor and hisses.) PRAISING THY NATIONAL BANK SY8TEM. Mr, Biuine bext came to consider the national bank- ing system. That sysiem, he waid, was created by the Fepublican purty, and, said the speaker, I do not want to evade my responsibility in voting for thas measure, There has never beon tu this cenntry or in avy olLer country a system that hag given as much security to the third cluss, the bill holdor, as the national bank. To prove this Mr. Blaine cited the abolition of the State banking system, which was a It of the intre duction of the bational bank. Ho arguod that thet was no other institution which caused so much dis- tress und joss as did the State bank through defaica- tions und fatiares, There was no secarity. Tue republican party, therciore, deserved the confidence respect of tho "people by declaring this coantry’ dtd not consist of thirty- eight states, distinct and Separate communities, with thirty-cight different species of money, so that if aman had to travel trom Boston to Cutcago he would be obliged to change his mouey at every Stnte jine, but one country, with one currency from’ Maine to Colorado, He explained the organization of a national ban! ‘or overy dollar that is issned by tne bank there is $1 10 security in the Troasury Vaults of the nation ns security, so that if the cashier runs away with the funds of tho institution the bill holder can go to the United States aud get bis money, dollar tor dollar. (Appinase ana chvers.) THK GOVERNMENT ROND, The next element of the financial question con- idered was the government bond. The groenbacker 8 the governinent bond ought to bo taxed as weil as any other species of property. Mr, Biaine agreed to that, uad said he would go further and assert that bo property tn tbls country, wational bunk stock alone excepted, paid a lurgor tax than the nation’s notes. The bond pays jour per cept interest while, city and State bonds will pay seven per cent, and the holder of the iatter 1s not in- clined to rush to the assessor ana announce his purchase, Thojtax is taken out of the govern- ment bood in advance, The chances of any tax be- ing patd on the State or city bonds are very doupttul It had veon frequently said that the panic of 1873 d by @ contraction of theeurrency, Mr. laine dented that, and asserted in support of bis positio Wat on the day the panie struck there was a | f money in the country than at ince the war, with ove excoption, GOLD, SILVER, GREENUACKS. The spenker held up a greenback—a United States note—a piece of zuld und a piece of stlvor, avd called attention to ench in succession. Gold anu silver were money ; the notes Were mere promises to pay money, coin, Their velue consisted only in the promise, bused on the faith of the peoplo in the ability of phe patton to pay. The nation aid “not promise to pay on a_ given day. Itdid not kaow what embarrassments might result irom the war, but it sald to tho holder of ev. dollur bili, “We will had clapsea Congro: pay you fu col for every bill you on January 1, 187." Then, of course, suid Mr, Blune, you want con when you koow you can cetit. The argument ismade by the greenback- ers that the govern inent cannot resume on that day, Decau+e {hore if Dot enoagh coin In the Troasury to dott, But do they expect that on Now Year’s morn- ing every man, trom Colorado to the Gult and from Maiue to the Kio Grande, will be at tho Treasury door Wailing to got itis coin? A POINTED ARGUMEST. A Portland democrat uaswered a greentnck friend, me diteulty w: A argument, tnas: ely of P ire thera not? the greent: Wet, they will ail the course won't they f?” do you keop 40,000 coffius on bang?” that a paper rrency that was irredeomoble was tho greatest curse x people coult have. What wo Want Is economy. The war destroyed $900,000, 000 worth of property, and we must get over that lose by economizing. We want as large « carreney as the ae- mands ot trado require, but when we find it exceoaing tho reveemadie point itis too large. We have been going He arguoa on, he aid, in Lhe direct line of prosperity; we havo reacued the borders of tho promised land, But the gre cker invites us to retrace our steps back With bim to the widerness, T fi epoaker closod by urging every honest man who be- Heved in keoping the natton’s pledges to votes tor a nd carrency, and that would bring prosperity, suc- cessiul trade and yeneral happiness. Gold would flow into the country as soon as we began to nse it as a circulating meaium, and by economy and goet jadg- mont We kiould repair the daimnges sustained vy ko war aod tho era of inflation, GENERAL BUTLER.

Ten years of curetul thought bave given assurance of Judgment that the Qouneial system of the country is Making two classes—the very rich and the very poor—and must end it not changed in an overthrow of republicans wutions, becaase the very poor are dependent upon the very rich, and the independence of the middie classes is now belog wholly broken down. ‘Trampé, strikes, Communisn, ure the resulta of and protests of the mueses against this change. am frequently asked, ow can you, as u Jucksouian democrat, bo otherwise than in favor of bard money??? This question comes trom a very narrow view of the contest oi Jackson with the banks und the money Power of that day.
