CURIOUS CHAPTER ABOUT CHASE.
The New York delegation met this morning, Mr..
Tlden in the chair. Governor Seymour was present
IN person and strongly advocated the dropping OF
Mr. Hendricks aud the taking up Of Chief Justice
Chase. Senator Murphy vigorously opposed this
and defed Mr.. Seymour to name the States that
Chase could carry. Governor Seymour replied
TO Mr.. Murphy's question and intimated that
he had not brought forward the name OF

AT THE METROPOLITAN HOTEL
matters and things appeared comparatively
quiet. The bar was the great political
exchange and here the different delegations
assembled and over cobblers and cocktails
discussed the situation This bar has been one of
best patronized Of the hotels the City during
the sitting Of the Convention, Its peculiar retirement
from the noise OF the street probably rendering
favorite resort. Some idea Of the whskey drink
ing pr0penstties OF the delegates may be
gathered from the fact that the receipts at
the bar during the first days Of the Convention were
over two thousand dollars Some disappointment
was here expressed at the nomination OF Seymour IN
place Of Chase, as expected anticipated but the
ticket was generally regarded as good, and one
which, with democrat IN the first place was as
good a. could be obtained.
