Renc-d TO gather here there Is at last some
thing defined the Presidential situation
The preliminary organization Of the Conven-
ton on yesterday, and the Consolidation of
views and opinions which the meeting of all
Of the delegates i. one place afforded, have
shaped things so that the oldest politicians and
journalists Begin to comprehend the status of
Affairs.
There is general complaiaI, 1T is proper 10
add here, that Vhe Convention has met In this
siiy-not that the quarters of delegates andoSt-
siders are not more commodfous ead palatial
than in any cther city-not that the Convent tion
hali not the most beu tifal aud grand of its kind
ever seea-nOt but that there are aInusements
snsxeeiiedon the costinent-but for the reason
that the distances are so magnificent that IL has
been found quite i'm possible for delegations to
meet and interchange views, and shape the
policy of the section from which they come
In Bzltisore, Chicsgo and Philadelphia, where
previous Presidential Conventions have been
held, the hotels are adjacent, and there has
never been any difficulty IN seeing everybody,
almost at the same time. But here il is quite
dinerrnt. Delegates from Ohio for instance,
who stop at the Stevens House, at the 10 wer
end of Broadway, have To ride I've miles to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to reach the head
quarters Of their delegation.
STATUS OF CANDIDATES BEFORE THE con-
vENTI0S.
As has been teIegrapbed and written the
STAR, there has not been from the start but one
defined movement here in the interest of any
md dafn
PeDdleton. The entire West came on here
WITH its delegations instructed and Pledged for
has support, and backed by an outside pres
sure remarkable in vigor, audacious in talk,
and aggressive in numbers. II clairned a ma
Jorlty IN the Convention for its candidate, and
was conceded by its opponents TO have a plu-
rahty. liz Haunted its greenback badges in the
fac OF the crowd, denounced the supporters of
other candidates, ridiculed the prevailing be-
hef of Eastern Democrats that Mr.. Pendleton
would stand 10 chance whatever of an cleo
non, and, in substance, intended TO carry the
works Of the New York delegation by storm.
But the Pendletonisns will be beaten. Strong
n they are, the Eastern and Northern Democ-
raey liz entrenched behind the two-t thirds rule,
which will not be repealed, and, in the end,
will transfer all of Mr.. Pendleton's force to the
support of another candidate. These facts lead
inevitably to the conclusion that the Democracy
Will fight out the issue inside OF Tammany
Hall, and Boi go into the Convention with all
of the delegations defined regards the re-
speetive Presidential candidates.
SUDDEN END OF THE CHASE MOVEMENT.
There hae been a strong feeling among outsi.
dsrs, including large numbers Of prominent
Democrats in favor OF Chief Justice Chase: but
among the delegations he seemed TO have no
strength outside OF New YORK, and at the m eet-
ing Of that delegation last mfg ht and to-day he
failed utterly 70 secure its support, though on
Friday il was believed that IL was nearly unan-
Imous Tor him AZ this meeting Gov Sey mour

date, the delegation proceeded to vote, with the
