New YORK, June 3O.--Most of tht
rooms for delegates 10 the Democratic Con
vention have been engaged for tomorrow
As yet only the advance skirmishera are il
town. SILL this number includes such nler
as Montgomery Blair, Gen. James B
| Steadman, Clement L. Vallandigham,
Jesse d. Bright, Wash. Mclean, James j.
Farran, Horatio Seymour, Gordon Grang-
er, and scores of lesser lights. The hotels
already profess to be full, and no new
guests are received at most, save those
whose rooms 'hsve been engaged in ad-
vance
Thus far speculation turns almoat entirely
on the candidates, and it seems to be gener-
ally agreed that the platform must be made
TO salt the nominees To-day the gossip of
the hotels runs strongly in favor of Hen.
drlcks lie is almost entirely without
positive strength, but is spoken of as the
second choice Of almost everybody. d PA
Eastern men insist that the Pendleton
movement cannot possibly succeed, and
boast that his forces are already shaky, and
half of them ready to desert him after the
first or second ballot. The Indiana and
Illinois delegations are named as those most
anxious to break the Pendleton column.
The Tammany Democrats all say that
SeymOur's speech was ment to kill Pendls-
ton, and that they mean to fight it out on
that line. ga
Seymour, himself, assures his friends
that he is not candidate. Greeley and
other Republicans still believe that he
wants to be, but the Democrats says that he
has been warned by his physicians that he
must avoid political excitements because
of tendency TO insanity, and he is sim
cere in refusing the use of his name. His
confidential friends hint that after the
Pendleton strength begins to break, Sey-
mour will be found trying to produce a
concentration on Governor English, of
Connecticut. -. .-E 20 et.s
The prevailing opinion among the dele
gates ia that none of the prominent eandi-
dates can be nominated.
Sam. j. Iilden and other leading New
Workers who have warmly supported the
Chase movement, say to-day that it is
quite possible that the name Of the Chief
Justice may not even be mentioned in the
convention. 4.
Pendleton and Hancock they expect to
kill of, and then estimate the chances of
the available candidates about in this
order: First, Hendricks; second, English
third, Judge Davis; fourth, Judge Field.
Much stress is laid on the necessity of
nominating ticket that will carry Indi-
ana, Ohio and Pennsylvania at the October
elections, and this argument is used with
effect IN favor of such combination as
Hendricks ard Hancock. -..

New YORK, June 30.-Seyeral avant
courier8 of the PendIeton escort have ar
rived, and promise grand demonstration
when the full party comes. The Pendleton
men talk earnestly, and claim to be conf
dent, though several acknowledge that the
case is doubtful. Chase stock has advanced
about ten per cent. since yesterday, in con-
of the frendliness of New Eng
land, and some of the Southern delegations.
Hancock men are less sure of Southern
delegations than they were yesterday, but
have not lost confidence in the result. q
Atthe soldiers and sailors headquarters,
in Motfat Mansion, pamphlets, eulogizing
the life and services of General Hancock,
are being circulated under the frank of
of Kentucky. The managers of
the soldiers organization repeat, to-day,
the determination to Tepudiate Pendleton
and go to the opposition if he is nominated.
They prefer Hancock, bat would support
Chase, Hendricks orSeymour if nominated.
Some war Democrats are urging Granger,
Steadman and other friends of Hancock
rot to push the latter on the first ballot,
but wait till the others have shown their
strength. HancOcks friends are inclined
to push at the start, while the shreWder ]
politicians wait for developments.
Pendleton's friends oppose Chase and |
Hendricks in the event of Pendleton's
overthrow, and show preference for an
Eastern man, as they wish TO preserve the /
for 1872. Some Pendleton
Democrats are pledged to Hancock and |
some TO Seymour, after their faVorite is
overthrown. Probably Hancock has more |
Pendletonians than Seymour.
The Pacific delegation is more favorable |
% Hancock or Chase than yesterday.
Oregon sticks to PendletOn for the first /
ballot, and will Use discretion afterward.
The friendsof Hendricks are endeavoring /
10 make terms with the Pendletonians, but |
..
Governor English is working for the /
second place on the ticket, if Western
man has the first nomination. His friends |
ask complimentary vote at all events,
and Californians ask the same for Judge |
Field. So many candidates are seeking |
that some propose abolishing |
them altogether, or making one ballot en-
lirely complimentary.
Tennessee, and possibly Georgia, will, |
vote once for Andrew johnson, |
but are not pledged for subsequent action.
Hancock and Chase appear neck and
neck tonight, Hendricks, Pendleton and |
Seymour in the second rank, and large
comPliment-seeking party in the rear.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The ultimate re-
suit of the convention is no more appa-
rent to-dSy than a month ago. New York
IS playing game pFofessedly for Chase, or
for Hendricks next; but il Is all cover TO

have hoodwinked come Southern delegates
into the belief that the movement for
Chase was in earnest, hut il Is a mere game
