THECITY FULL!
Pendleton Will be Nomi-
mated!
The Platform Where the
Struggle Will Be.
Special Dispatch to the Register.l


New YORK, July2
The city is now fuller of strangers than
ever it was before. Earnest and en-
thusiastic Democrats have been pour
ing in from the West in one continuous
stream-and an immense stream, at that
for the last three days. All tho first
class hotels of the city are full from
cellar to garnet, and hundreds OF
old customers are being turned away
for want of room. The second class
hotels and boarding houses are also
being swarmed into by the vast multi
tude 1t is estimated that there are al
ready over 10000 Western Democrats in
the city, with 10000 more on the way
THE PENDLETON ESCORT
from Cincinnati arrived this evening,
creating an immense sensation.
TIE NALL.
Much disappointment is expressed at
the smallness of Tammapy Hall, the
place designed for the Convention to
meet in. Its dimensions have been
greatly exaggerated. Not one tenth OF
those desiring admission can get in.
PENDLETON.
My prediction is, Pendleton will be
nominated after not more than three
or four ballotings. In fact, am agree
ably disappointed to find so little
earnest opposition to him-the main in
rcrest ccntering in the Platform. There
is where the real struggle will come;
but a Platform satisfactory to the whole
country will be adopted. To the West
ern men, Pendleton will be good
enough Platform himself-they can af-
ford to concede something in the Ian
guase of the resolutions to their East
ern brethren. There will be, however,
All explicit resolution on the financial
question.
The West Virginia Delegation are
not expected here until tomorrow
morning. About all the delegates from
the other States have arrived.
GOV. SEYMOUR
said in my hearing to-day that he
would, under no circumstances, be a
candidate for nomination; but he un,
reservedly gives it as his conviction
that. with good feeling and concerted
action between the Democracy East and
West, tue Radical party will be beaten
in November.
GRANT.
Ii is the universal remark that the
nomination of Grant has been received
with the most decided -coolness tha,
ever marked the nomination Of any
Presidential candidate. Leading Dem
ocrats here say that New York city
will next fall increase her splesdid last
falls majority by ten thousand. This
metropolisof the Western Continent j!
poor place for Radicals.
FIFTH AVENUE
will be the headquarters Of the Wes
Virginia Delegation, as it is of tha'
from Ohio. i have met Col. McCook
of Steubenville, Gen. Morgan, Wash
Mclean, John @. Thompson and mum
berofother distinguished Ohioians, wht
are stopping at this hotel. Ex-senator
Breeze, Dan. Voorhees, and other lead
ing Western Dsm9crats are also here.
Things are getting decidedly interest
ing, and the excitement and weather il
decidedly warmish. OHIO.

NEW YORK CONVENTION

SENATOR HENDRICKS OFF THE TRACK.
Senator Hendricks has positively and
unconditionally withdrawn his name as
a candidate, and 30 long as there is the
least hope of nominating Pendleton no
one will be eauthorizedt to run Hendricks
against him.
EFFECT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
The announcement was received this
morning, and its effect was immedi-
ately visible in increased enthusiasm
for Pendletons 1t makes the West solid
for Pendleton and greenbacks, and in
dead earnest for both.
GOVERNOR SEYMOUR
Stoutly denies the fact of his own
candidacy, and said to-day that he
would instantly decline if put in nomi-
nation. Hc also denies the hostility to
Pendleton which is attributed to him,
but his recent speeches explain that
matter better than his private cOHversa-
tiOn or disclaimers can. 1t is manifest
that neither he nor any man who has
taken decided stand against the green.
back theory can he nominated.
JUDGE FIELD,
Of California, enc of the Associate
Judges OF the Supreme Court, was nom-
mated to-day as possible compromise
candidate, but he is more likely to be
put on the ticket, if ut all, as Vice Pres
ident.
A. J. WAITING FOR A THUNDERB0LT.
President johnson and his friends
have been busy for few days, aud A. j..
is not without big hope of success for
himself. He actually believes that the
Lightning will strike him, and is barring
his bosom to receive the stroke with the
heroism of martyr. He may possibly
be struck by lightning, but he certainly
won't he nominated. Democrats are
not unmindtul Of the good he has done,
neither are they forgstful of the good
he has left uadone. He has given it
out to-day that he will issue universal
amnesty proclamation, to include every
body, even jeff. Davis and John C..
Breckinridge, on the Fourth of July,
and hc thinks this will secure him the
nomination. lie will find himself gricv-
ously mistaken.
PLATFORM.
Nothing is yet said about the plat
form except that it will contain 4
strong greenback plank.
AUGUST BELMONT,
Chairman of the National Convention,
was to-day appointed delegate from
New York vice another gentleman re-
signed. At the regular election of
delegates he was not returned, but as
he seemed anxious to serve, one of the
city delegates resigned to give him 4
chance.
SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
Among the distinguished Southern
ers here are Gems. Beauresard, Joseph
Z. Johnson, and Forrest. The latter is
q delegate-the ether two only specta-
tors. They all agree that the Southern
men ought to take quiet part in the
proceedings, and, instead of pressing u
candidate of their own, to support who
ever seems to be the choice of the
Northern Democracy.
JUDGE CHASE'S POSITION AS STATED By
HIMSELF.
The following is an extract from the
letter of Chief Justice Chase to friend
in this city, to which alusion has been
made in my dispatches heretofore
"Whilc | would be gratiiied to re-
ceive the nomination, / do not desire to
