| FRANK blair's wild Did ior the nomination on a
platform Of armed resistance to Congress exctes
mingled amusement and indignation. Even the
hissourans do not all pretend to defend 1t.
Strenuous efforts are being made by officers of the
Presidents household, including his late Private
Secretary and late Acting Assistant Secretary OF the
dorsng johnson. The tendency among the leaders
| is very strong against it.
The Metropolitan police have been prosecuting one

sleep last night at Sweeney's Hotel with Dutch

bed, drove him out OF the room and chased him over

only In night shirts. After the inmates had been
aroused by the camor the police nserfered with the
delegates amusement anu have him now immured
IN the black republican bastiie better known as the
T0mbs.
AS to the preference OF the respective sections the
support OF the several candidates may be generazed
about thus:-The West is for Pendlelon nearly unan

Hancock and watches the chances to jump for the
winning man. New England incines to Chase with
the exception OF Maine which is for Pendleton but

ing to find where and how she may best effect COM
blnation that will defeat Pendeton, with, perhaps,
more undercurrent in favor of Chase than anybody
rently looking out for trade. Here then, seems to
be the key point of the situation. Perhaps onefcnrth

things stand now it would seem that whichever party
gains these Pennsylvanans win the day. Pendieton
men have been working hard with them for the last
twentyf0ur hours and doing their best to produce
alienation between Pennsylvania and New York. If
they should succeed Pendletons success could hardly
be prevented. On the other hand, il New York and
Pennsylvania can unite New England and good
part OF the South will go with them. Neither party

that the statement comes that PendetOn stock is de-
manifested to him at the East and the accumulating

In favor of Chase, provided they find that they can
unite Pennsylvania and New England upon him.
Chase, however is not likely to be introduced at first
and not at all unless those who present him think
they have pretty effectual combinations In his favor
New York democrats however, insist that he has
more latent strength than anybody else who

hand, Seymour has said that there Is talking
about Chase unless Ohio will bring him forward and
Ohio delegates say nobody is for HIM but few black
republicans Cassidy has been talking Chase strong
tonight at the Manhattan Club and the general SEN
tlment OF that body seems in his favor. The talk OF
his having written any letter pledging himself to
| support the nominee proves utterly unfounded.
John ]. tisco seems to be acting his spokesman.
Reverdy JOhnsons is here evinclng considerable
anxiety to have his father taken up. Pennsyva-
mans cOncede fifteen OF their votes to ,PendletOn, in

Some OF the principal Hancock managers such

ing claim that he will show great strength in the
| Conventions; that the soldiers and sailors are
| nearly unanimous for him, and that several Of the
Southern States prefer him to any prominent candi
date. Both Steedman and Granger claim Texas,
| Louisiana, Mississippi South Carolina and Virginia
| for him, and believe that Pennsylvania and Mary
| land will support him. These military gentlemen
seem not to have got SO far IN their movement as to
consider second choice: few among the dele
gates talking OF Dix, but among the leaders he
appears to have no strength.
