THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
Political ard0r among the host of delegates con-
vened at this hotel last evening was in no wise
dampened by the damp weather. On the contrary,
there was larger assemblage Of delegates than on
any evening since their arrival in the city, and the
talk upon the subject OF the candidate to be nomi
mated was more animated and the discussions upon
favorite candidates were more loudly demonstrated
than ever. The show Of hands in the Convention by
the different delegations gave somewhat different
turn and tone TO the general conversation. The
paramount qnesuon seemed to be whether the
strongest candidate had yet been named in single
ballot.
PROGRAMME OF PRNDLEToN's FRIENDS.

already had, and 1t was evident that they were

nomination. caucus Of different delegations was
had to feel the pulse on this question. 1t was stated
new delegations could be obtained. Late in the
evening the hope was that some unforeseen cOntn-
gency would rise IN the Convention proceedings to-
day through which Pendletons nomination might be
accomplished.
cHAsE's PROSPECTS,.
"Judge ChaSe'S stock seems to be very low said
an OHIO delegate; ''hs not having received single
ballot yet evnces his utter weakness in the Conven

This conversation was among a gang of Southern
delegates and may be taken as indicative of their
views and wishes although it was abundantly shown
In their conversation that they have the slightest
gllnmer of hope OF his nomination. Next TO him
their undoubted choice Is Hendricks.

THE WHOLE BATCH OF CANDIDATES.
All the candidates before the Convention found
their supporters in the different lotteries from PEN
dlcton down TO Ewing, but for most the language Is
less pointed and hopeful than hitherto.
ST. JAMES HOTEL.
MOI very large crowd was gathered here last
evening, but what was wanting in numbers
made up IN enthusiasm. The whole talk was polti-
cal and the politics were all oi the coming candidate
Chase stock was quoted higher than Pendleton.
sPINGLER LOUISE.
II was comparatively quiet here. The delegates
stopping here are OF the quiet order and not much
given to defamation Quiet chats over fragrant
cigars were the principal visible features although
mere was some caucusing In some OF the private
rooms OF the delegates Tie general disposition
manifested was to move on with the current.
PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY.
what the programme VIII be to-day is all matter
OF the interest conjecture. Some think the Conven-
ton Will bring TO speedy conclusion its work and
that few more ballots will determine the result
AS the evening hours waXed on the growing belief
mat Cnase would be nominated seemed To grow
stronger and that this result would be quickly &C
complished. Others prophesy protracted series Of
ballotlng. and final nomination OF man not yet
Drought he ore the Convention, and this man another
than Chase.
