Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer
New York, July 6.-If there be any
| doubt before as TO the sentiments of the
convention as to the subject of finances,
there- could be none when the greenback
Resolutions of the Workingmen's Conven-
ton were read. fearful storm of ap-
plause from floor and galleries followed
the reading. The resolutions were pre-
| pared by Gen. Cary, and were adopted at
| the Cooper Institute meeting at which
the General spoke Friday evening No
| platform and no candidate can set aside
the voice of the Democracy expressed in
the shouts and cheers when these resolu-
| tiUns were read.
The opposition to Pendleton is becoming
more Intense every hour, and the efforts to
| effect his defeat are multiplying. The
| bOndhOlders seem determined to beat him,
and if he is beaten by any candidate now
in the field against him. it will be because
money is stronger than principles 10 the
convention.
Something has been said in the papers
about the conduct Of the Pendeton men,
and the zeal and determination they ex-
press to carry their point. 1t is even
charged that they threaten TO beat any
nomination but that of George II. Pendle-
ton. There is not word of truth in this.
The men who are working for Pendleton
are not the kind that embark in the bolt.
ing business. If any of them have used
boiling language toward any of the other
candidates, il is because they have been
provoked to it BY the threats of New
York bondholders 10 beat Pendletou at any
cost.
Money has already been freely used
against him, and this fact, well known here
has impelled the Pendleton men to a more
bitter fight than they would otherwise be
disposed to make in his behalf.

New YoRY, July 6.-The position of
the New Workers is a mystery. 1t is only
certain that they are bitterly opposed to
Pendleton. Whatever they may have to
offer for themselves they are against him,
and are asserting in every possible form
that his nomination would make defeat
certain. / cannot discover any change in
the situation.
IL IS an open. question whether New
York is in earnest IN supporting Sanford

There is similar rumor as 10 Pennsyl-

That there IL serious talk among the
Pendletonians Of Chase as a second choice,
is certain; that when Pendleton is defeated
Chase will have an accession of strength
from the West. That may be counied
upon. do not believe it will be enough
to nominate but most intelligent men
speak of it tonight as plain possibility.
My impression now as that Pendletou,
during the second days balloting, will be |
conciusiyely defeated, and that Hendricks, |
OF Indiana, or Church. Of New York, or |
