Tho character of tho nominees of the Chicago conveu- lms already been discussed at length. It would be unwiso to underrate an opponent’s strength. A good general does not ilo this. That should be our position, and wo should place in nomination our strongest men. There was never a better opportunity to elect the dem ocratic candidate than at the corn ing olection. It will depend en tirely on what the democratic con vention does. If it gives us any of. tho candidates named here this evening, with one exception, there can be no question about the result. If it gives us one man the battle is lost before it is begun. With Sam uel J. Tilden we cannot win. We want a candidate whom we can point to anil say; “Ho is an honest man.” We want to meet lie re on Saturday morning, the 19th inst., and march to the Grand Central depot on our way to Cincinnati. We have had a long fight, hut wo are nearing the end. I believe that at least one-half the anti-Tilden delegation from this city and the interior of the state will he admit ted by the Cincinnati convention. We have never joined with the re publicans, but when we were as sailed ditl as honest men should do, asserted our rights and stood up like men against the attacks of our enemies. The Tammany organiza tion will live when the men who have assailed it have passed away and have been forgotten. Mr. Kelly explained the arrange ments which had been made to scud the Tammany delegation io Cin cinnati, and said he hoped a large crowd would go. They proposed to go with their banners displayedj, so that all men might see them and follow the leader of the democ. racy to victory. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do, without a thought of fame. F. A " or T T 7\r A XT T) YT/tifW. fin.. TJ. S.
