MORE DEMOCHATIC "ENTHUSI-
/! Assn" OVER THE hOMIHATION.
General Disappointment and Disgust.
NEW YORK.
NEW York, July 10.
The Democrats have no enthusiasm,
to-day, over the nomination, and many
of them say the ticket could not have
been worse. Around the hotels great
bitterness of feeling is manifested.
Many politicians declare that Demo-
cratic defeat is fully assured, and no
instance was ever known OF greater
imbecility of action after days Of de-
liberation.
The Republicans are happy while the
Democrats are respondent, and some
prominent members of the Union
League propose hundred guns In City
Hall Park In honor OF the event.
The Western delegates remaining in
the city are very Indignant at the res ult
of the Convention, not merely In the
nomination., but in everything else.
They say the New York Democrats
showed their generous spiritin varie-
| ty of ways. First. by holding the Con-
vention in New York; second, in ma
king Seymour, a New Yorker, Presi-
dent of the Convention; third, in ma
king Murphy, New Yorker, Chairman
of the Committee on Platform; fourth.
In taxing delegates five dollars each for
contingent expenses, but not specifying
those expenses; fifth, in re-electtDg
Belmont, New Yorker, othe Chair
manship of the National Democratic
Committee. Some of them regret that
Grants order against Jews cannot be
enforced against him. Sixth, in ar
ranging skillful game that should de-
feat Western interests, nominate Sey-
mour, and leave New YORK men de
claring they had nothing to do with 1t.
KANSAS.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, July lO.-The
nomination of Seymour and Blair tails
like wet blanket upon the Democracy
of Kansas.
The STATE Journal, which was sup
posed TO look favorably on the Chase
movement on the basis of free suf-
frage to every citizen of the Republic
black and white, male and female-de-
clares the Democratic party has delib-
erately committed suicide, pTeferrinG
death to life, choosing the shroud and
the grave rather than regeneration and
the new birth.
INDIANA.
FORT WAYSE. July l0.-The greatest
dissatisfaction still exists among the
Democrats of this city in regard to the
nomination of Seymour and Blair.
O'Rourke and many other leading
Democrats in this place openly declare
that they will not support the ticket of
| the bondEolders. Hendricks receives
his full share of curses, and is charged
with the defeat of PendletOn.
The sentiment of their party i'll this
section is strongly in favor of nomi-
mating an independent candidate.
The Terre Haute Democracy were so
disguised on Wednesday, at learning
the defeat of Pendleton, that they held
an indignation meeting, OF which we
find a report in the Express. a COM
mi.tee prepared and was instructed TO
send the following dispatch to New
York:
TERRE HAUTR, IND, July S, 1868.
Hon. Wash. Mclean, Pendleton Head.
quarters, Fifth ATenUe Hotel, NeIU
York:
At mass meeting of the Democracy
of this city, held this evening, the fol-
| lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted, and ordered to be telegraPhed
to the Indiana delegation:
RESOLVED, That we denounce and ut
terly repudiate the action of the ma
iority OF the Indiana delegation in the
New York Convention. That they
have proved false to the trust reposed
in them, and to the interests of the
| Western Democracy, and that we de-
mand of them TO change their vote TO
| Pendleton, who evidently is the choice
ofthe Democratic people of Indiana.
| G.. +. CooKERLY,
| SAINT. @. DAVIS,
JAS. b. EDMUNDs,
Mayor Cookery being called out,
said, IN substance, that he was ''sick at
heart" There was "no possibility Of
the nomination of PendletUn."
He denounced the conduct of the In
diana delegates in terms of great, but
dignified, severity, and though he did
that Dan. Voorhees, deserved the main
portion of their wrath, and deserved,
too. TO be cut of, utterly, from their
future support and confidence.
OHIO.
COLUMBUS, July Observation-Disclosures
| ing the large ratification meeting held
by the Democrats, last evening, 1t is
easy to see that the nominations arc not
favorably received. Seymour Is bad
enough, but Blair Is considered too
much to bear. Some are SO bold as to
| declare that they will not support the
ticket. Others are in favor of an indie
pendent ticket. So, that between them
all. everything but harmony prevails.
/ The Republicans, to man, are jublt-

WARRINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The New
| York nominations continue to be the
general theme of conversation, and
Democratic Congressman are just as
| free as they were yesterday in express
ing their disgust at the selections made.
! They see that Seymour's copperhead
record, and Blair's bloody letter cannot
be sustained, and the feeling about the
letter is so strong that Senators Davis
and Bnckalew both publicly dis6vow-
| ed 1t In the debate In the Senate to-day
and declared that the Democratic party
can not be charged with its indorse-
ment, even If 1t has nominated its
| writer for Vice President. One Demo-
cratic member OF the House, from
,,speRks ofBiair as id
fool for writing It, and greater id
fool for printing it.
Mr.. Barnes, Democrat, from Brook
Ign, telegraphed to leading delegate
in the Convention, yesterday, after the
news of the nomination of Seymour
was received, that the Republicans
were jubIlant and the Democrats de-
/ pressed; that the matter ought TO be re-
considered and Seymour made to de-
cline. The leading Democrat in the
Indiana delegation, when asked what
he thought of the nominations, held
\ up his hands in deprecating manner
and answered, "Hush, my friend, you
| are treading on newly made grave"
One OF the Ohio Democrats, when asked
a similar question replied that the
ticket could not carry single State
west of the Alleghenies. The ablest
Democrat in Massachusetts, though not
now In official position, spoke this
morning of the Conventions work as
perfectly amazlng;" and then added,
