ccived by the Ohio delegation from Mr.
p,ndleton. directing the withdrawal of his
maine Ms a candidate before the Democratic
Convention, and various reports as to its
purport and the intention Of his supporters
are in circulation. While II may be re-
garded as certain that his name will be
| dropped early tomorrow, some say tina;
| Pcndleton will then propose the name Of
| Seymour and press II with vigor.
A few think they will in any event
support any western man for the
Presidency, as such . course would
prejudice Pendleton's chances 10 '72. while
IL Is \ very prevalent impression that their

prominent eastern candidate. A dispatch
from Mr.. Chase having been received TO the

The tremendous applause with which his
name was received when proposed by Cali.

who will support him when his name Is

still look extremely favorable
II is believed that both Hancock and Hen
bricks, have about, II not quite, reached
the maximum of votes they can command
for the Presidency, though both apparently
have q good look for the Vice Presidency.
II Is stated that Hon. John Morrissey
has made bet Of ten thousand dollars that
the ticket will be Chase and Hancock.

sis,ent declination Of hie name by Seymour,
It does mot seem that he 10 yet entirely out
Of the field. and should Pendleton, - indi-

| No other names than Chase and Sew
mour are much talked Of tonight, though
some friends Of Hancock's believe he has
some chance. Blair's friends may bring
him out but he does not appear like q win
ner. The single vote given to Mcclellan
to-day by Tennessee has suggested the bare
possibility Of his domination, but though
| he has many warm friends 1t seems too
slight to be seriously thought of. The con-
ven,ion is hardly likely " adjourn before
