adjournment Of the convention for the day,
and when our correspondent was fully in
possession of the current feeling of the
day;
New YoRK, JnIy G-1OP. M-The ex-
element continues high. The friends Of
various candidates still talk of their avail
ability but The mass Of the delegates see
that, as the time for balloting approaches,
they will have to decide upon the beet
man.
The platform will be reported tomorrow
morning. The convention having refused
to ballot for a candidate without platform,
as soon as it is adopted, without some fiji
clustering movement which Is not antici-
pated, the ballotiug will commence.
The supporters of PendletOn are frm
and confident. His strength, actual and
prospective, is unimpared but the contest
is fierce, aud the result uncertain.
Johnson friends are active and yigi-
LIANT; but great division exists outside Of
Pendleton's ranks.
