To the probable result of the action OF the Con-
vontion, remarks:
The candidates oanvassed are the same ms
one week ago, and the chances for the n0mina-
liou du not appear TO have varied much. There
is, however, more general impression that
Senator Hendricks will bp tho fortunate man,
but in the absence OF the delegates, nothing
positive can be asccrLained. Hendricks ap-
pears 10 he tho second choice more than any
other person. The Chase movement has gained
ground with lie rank AMI flo of the party, but
it is doubtful If it has W with the leaders. The
Young men OF the party ar inr hm TO much
greatcr extent Than tho old stagers Of the De
lnocracy. There arc many who still have strong
hopes Of his nomination, and yet there are

friends of p.ndloiom profess to believe that
lIaucuch in the man WllUin they have RnL to
pit against. AMI that lac is tho next strong man

directing their attacks upon The operations OF

In rcralcnc,. to Goycrndr 3eyhellr there is q
discrepancy in lie views of the politicians.
Since his speech one class assert that he ia.
now candidate, and that his speech will
nominate him. but IN direct cppositlan in this
il is asserted that Mr. Seymour stated to his
intimate personal friends, while in this city,
that hu was moi y candidate, aud did not de-
sire the nomination. 1t is now generally con-
coded lllat he will bc tue permanent president
uf the Convention.
The interest in the action OF the convention
increases III the time draws near for it TO
assemble. The people Of the entiro country.
of l,Dtl, parties are waiting and watching with
great interest all the dcyclopm ents.
