spondehts to announce that under no con-
tinpency would he be n candidate.
|. During the discussion 1t was developed,
not re much by words but by circumstances,
that there is a large portion Of the delega-
ton in favor of presenting the name of
Sanford +. Church as the first choice of
New York. In fact, there is m outside
Litigation present from Western New York
pressing his name upon the attention of
delegates. a ssr..s
The Ohio delegation also held meeting
ut noon. but no business of Importance was
this morning. The Kentucky and nine Of
the other southern delegations held meet
ings, organized, and adjourned to await the
action of the central States before taking
their positions.
THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
Subsequently, the delegation from Vir-
ginia issued an invitation to the delegates
from all the other southern States to meet
with them in an informal way at IL O'Clock
to-day. This invitation has been generally
accepted, and the meeting will take place
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The object Of
this is not to CO hine together upon can
didate, but for general consultation over
their position and to take into consideration
the platform. Most of these men still con-
slider it their policy not to take sidea for the
principal candidates until they ascertain
who is the most acceptable to the northern
States. The Pendleton men, however, man
ifest great confidence that they will secure
the entire South with them, and that this
meeting will go decide. But this idea is
contrary to all the expressions of the lead
ing men from the South thus far. They
may 90 for Pendleton, but are not ready to
make that decision yet.
MISSOURI.
This State sends to New York strong
| delegation to represent it. Each OF the
twenty-five regularly-elected delegates is
| accompanied by q host Of political friends
| and advisers. The delegation to the con-
] yention of soldiers and sailors is immense
and in addition to all these, legions are
| coming from every part of the State on
| their own responsibility. The Missouri
delegates came without any instructions
how to act in the Convention, although q
| large number of them have pledged them
selves to advance the claims of Hon. Frank
P. Blair for the Presidency.
NEW ENGLAND.
The delegations from that section have
held but few caucuses rs yet. 1t Is, how
ever, conceded that Massachusetts is in
favor of nominating Chief Justice Chase
and, in fact, it is generally believed that
majority of the delegates from New Eng
land are inclined that way.
MICHIGAN.
The Pendleton men who have been count
inc upon the votes Of the delegates from
| Michigan now assert that they will cast
their vote for Reverdy Johnson.
THE KENTUCKY DELEGATION.
The Kentucky delegates to the Conven,
| ton held q meeting at their headquarters
! the purpose of organizing, preparatory tc
entering the Convention.
The delegates are fully determined not
| to commit themselves to the nomination Of
any particular man for the Presidency or
Vice Presidency, but prefer to let the north
ern Democracy make the choice.
THE CALICO RNIA DELEGATION.
| The California delegation, most Of whom
are stopping at Is Bond street, met Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock and permanently
organized. 1t is understood that the whole
of the Pacific delegation favor the nomina'
ton of Hon. Stephen j. Field.
"THE WHITE BOYS IN BLUE"
The Indiana delegation, being now oil in
the city, have secured headquarters al
No. 20 east Twenty-frst street. The
"White Boys in Blue" from the same
State will also hold forth in the same place
where all soldiers and sailors from Indians
are requested to call.
| THE FRIENDS OF MR.. PENDLEToN.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel still continues tt
be the centre of operation of the PendletoI
men, and they manage to maintain then
ground there, and their supremacy in TIT
genera! talk.
THE PENDLETON MEN AND THE PLATFORM.
The developments of yesterday revea
the fact that majority of those working
for Pendleton care far more about the plat
form than they do for his nomination. II
fact, oil but few manifesto willingness tt
accept almost any candidate if the plat
form suits them.
