1t is claimed that some of the committee have
not been closely identified with the movement
Ldter.-The day has been one of excitement
among those interested IN the convention which
assemblies tomorrow. Each batch of delegates
that arrived added fresh fuel and rendered it
more diffenlt to indicate what what the results

not select their delegates to represent them in
convention, but will tomorrow. a

Massachusetts, has few more delegates than
votes. New England, it is said, will give first
complimentary vote for Sumner, then for
Adams first and Trumbull, and would. it is
said, be willing to take both Adams and Trum-
Dull without regard to person or place.
In the event of TrumbulPs nomination there
Is some talk that Henry r. Sheldon will be
urged Tor second place, by at least part of the
New York delegation.

While the Republicans are largely in the as
cendent here there are not a few prominent
Democrats who are about watching the tide of
