THE NEw.YORK DELEGATION.
This delegation experienced heavy typhoon yesterday
Probably delegation 10 any National Convention was
ever subjected 10 such severe storm ~ that which the
New-York delegates to the Tammany conyocation oi
choice Democratic spirits We're Obliged 10 endure on the
occasion referred TO- Tuesday evening erG0y Hora-

delegation that he had resolved not 90 be candidate
under any circumstances Accordingly, when tine dele

veyed 10 the representative Democrats by Gov.
seymour's trustee. Mr. August Belmont called
the delegation 20 order, and the Hon. samuel
j. Tilden was appointed Chairman pro tcJn-
pore. Charles Wheateigh was chosen Secretary.
As soon as the announcement Of Gov seymour's ode
termination made 10 the meeting hub-bub OF the
most delightful nature ensued motion was made 70
accept Chase the first choice OF the delegation Ihs
attempt 20 the meeting 10 accept candidate failed
however but not until very hot discussion was INDUCED
in. The Western NewYork delegates were almost unan,
imousy in favor o making Pendeton the first choice OF
the delegation. Others had leaning toward Hendricks,
and some disposed "a stand by Seymour TO the last
as matter OF fidelity 70 New-lOrks greatest
statesman" After considerable discussion the meet
ing adjourned until IA o'clock today, without
OF the delegation. Another effort will be made
to-day 70 take up Chase, but knowing members OF the
delegation say that il will fail 10 is unlikely that the
NewYOrk delegates will go into the Convention without
having united any man, and will throw their votes
when and where interest may suggest some changes IN
the delegations have been made. August Belmont has
been substituted for Charles J.. Loew, in the With Dis
trct and A. A Hunt for Charles Goodyear In the ALVIN
District. -
Senator Hendricks whose stock on Tuesday seemed 10
be rapidly acquiring value has Withdrawn from the
contest for the nomination letter from him yes

letter a meeting of the delegation held at the
