There was to-day conference b@tween
III. New York and Ohio delegations, the
farmer expressing themselves in favor OF
Hendricks. The Ohio delegates stated that
II they had no eastern men to propose, 1t
was of no use speaking Of Hendricks, as
pendleton vas the sole choice of the West.
ohio delegates claim that Pendleton Will
ro.n;yc 35G votes on the first formal ballot.
Confidence ~ THE RESULT.
IN mixing with the delegations from the
West a person cannot fail to observe the
confidence manifested in the success OF the
Democracy at the approaching election:
They appear TO consider success certain, Sna
I'll bring intelligence Of an extensive reac-
lion in heir sections. With majority oil
,hr delegates now here, the question OF plat
forum is considered Of more importance than
that Of candidate, and that II wise plat
.,rg. l. formed, it matters but little who OF
t.c many prominent names mentioned shall
10 tire nominee, success viii be certain

TUE Tvo-THmD RIFLE.
The rendleton men are DESTROYS Of re-
s.iuling the two-third rnle, understanding
tiat they cannot succeed while 1t Is ID
force. When il was originally adopted IN
l,il 10 defeat Van Buren, New York voted
agaig-; it. Her delegates we're also opposed
10 it IN 1913, and would have voted against
it had they not Withdrawn FROM the Con.
yention. Ohio was opposed to it in l844
md lSiS, rs she is now. New York only
tayors i, now to defeat Pendleton.-Com-
