Eleven States have representatives hero for that
Convention II seems the prophets were premature
in counting the Southern delegations In favor Of any
fixed nomination. The colored men declare that
they are not yet determined as to candidates. but
will not trust any one in the remotest
degree tainted with Democracy. The few Dem
ocrats that lave arrived here, including Judge
Marshall and lIr. Creb3, members of Congress from
Illinois, are received with codness by all parties,
and warned 70 keep away. While these gentlemen
prefer that Judge Davis should be the candidate,
they nevertheless deny that they came here 10 it,
huence In any way his nomination, and denounco
the report that the Democratic party is working in
his interest In view Of this, the Democratic paper
here-The Enqurer-this morning has sharp word
for them and particularly for Democratic Congress
men. j. says that the presence Of Democrats can
only be injurious to tho they profess to have
at heart, and that they are not wanted here; also,
that this is a Republican, not Democratic Conven-
ton, and tot Democrats that mix up In IL ought
to be quiet, shown "a door by the managers.
Over 60 Of the Kansas Republicans, headed by ex-
Senator Ross, Gov. Crawford, and other prominent
gentlemen, arrived here this morning, and express
great hope upon the prospect Of the movement in
that State About 20 others will arrive tomorrow.
They say that if vote for nomination should DO
taken now majority would favor Mr.. Trumbull.
and that there is little hope Of agreement on tho
first ballots in the Convention, although all express
determination TO stand by the candidates, whoever
they shall be. Senator Ross thinks that, next to
Trumbuu, Gratz Brown is the preference although
some the candidates for Judge Davis and others
for Horace Greeley. Members Of the delegation. ia
referring to the charges against Senators Pomeroy
and Caldwell, and the proofs which have been fur
nshed to the Senate of the latters corruption in
curing his seat in that body, say that if the Senate
afford to let the charges and proofs stand against
them, the Republicans in that State cannot afford
it; that the Republican officials and citizens have
done their part in the matter, and that the people
Of the State know the exact condition Of Affairs and
will not overlook tho fact. if Administration
Committee Of the Senate shall fail in its duty, and
whitewash the accused Senators into an
appearance of respectability. Tho delegation
will hold meeting tomorrow, to organize
and come TO some agreement as to their future ac-
tion The division in the Illinois delegation con-
tinues with as much earpestness as ever. The dele
CATION is very large one, and represents as many
different preferences as there candidates, al
though the main strength lies between Davis aud
Trumbull. Zach has his strong partisans and both
are represented by of the strongest in tho
State who are working with extraordinary zeal and
energy to extend the line Of theirsupporters In
ferring to the somewhat uncertain position Of Sena-
tor Logan, some of the Illinois delegates and
others who have talked with him, say that his
sympathies are unquestionably in the oppo-
stion movement, but they are unable
to explain bis hestancy in publicly avowing them.
Some even go SO far as to say that he is waiting
until the philadelphia Convention is held. in tho
belief that has been fostered by some imprudent and
mischievous friends that he viii be the nominee of
that Convention, instead of Grant. Indiana remains
divided as heretofore indicated, and there appears
vet no promise Of concerted action. Conversations
with Missouri men fail to reveal the slightest divis-
ion among the delegates: all that have been ap-
preached say that the delegation will be unit for
Brown first last and all the time but this can hardly
be the true position of these gentlemen, is gen.
orally conceded that Gov. Brown is ont Of the con-
test The position of Pennsylvania is strong and
well-balanced. The delegates are not fully COM
mitted to anybody, and in the most friendly manner
are canvassing the claims and availability of tho
various candidates that have been suggested From
the indications it Will have less difficulty in reach
ing an understanding than any Of tho States
whose representatives differ so widely Some
of the Pennsylvanians claim that they will an
swer for the delegates when chosen and that they
will 90 in body for Davis and Curtin; Others affect
to doubt this. Iowa, represented here. is greatly
in earnest in this movement, and apparently does
not intend to hggle about candidates. 1t is not
vicious nor rabid to the subject of Free Trade and
Protection; the delegates want to the
of the movement ard say their main wish is 20 de-
clare for Civil Service Reform de lie upOn gUUd can
didates, and elect them.
With the exception of the Revenue Reform and the
Davis feeling, the temper Of the thousands Of
people who have gathered here from all portions OF
the country is all that could be desired The halls
and Hobbies of the hotels crowded, but there
no disputes, no angry discussions no drunkenness;
a moro orderly, cheerful good-natured, and good
feeling crowd never came together.
