Friends or Hendricks Confident.
ST. LOUIS, June 26.-The Hendricks
men are feeling more confident this
morning than yesterday. General Man
son, who is working very judiciousIy for
Indiana's favorite, has the assurance OF
the support OF four States not before
counted on, and that after the first ballot
il is ex pected he will make decided gains
on Hendricks.
A band is now parading the streets,
much TO the qualification OF crowds OF
people Meanwhile the
Antt.riIden Leaders,
who are seeking for somebody strong
enough TO carry OHIO, Indiana and New
York, are working with great energy.
A conference WAS held in parlor No.
=, Southern Hotel, last night, which was
attended by representatives from the
different delegations opposed to lllden.
Speeches were made by Roger A. Pryor,
John Kelly and others, which were re-
ceived with good deal of enthusiasm.
The object OF the meeting was 10 see what
they conld count Oh. They report that
they are strong enough 10 defeat Tilden.
They indicated no choice. This meeting
has been responded to to-day by work on
the part of rilden that will count in the
Convention.
The delegations of Massachusetts and
Wisconsin held meetings to-day and
agreed 10 cast the vote OF each delegation
solid for Tildep. This Is decidedly al
important gain. The some kind of work
is being done with other delegations, and
the Tilden managers express the greatest
confidence of ultimate success, IN spite o!
the efforts of Tammany.
Ii is now believed that the two-thirds
rule will stand. None of the friends OF
prominent candidates seem TO have
the courage 10 attack it. If 1t does stand,
said y delegate, Tilden is beaten. No
doubt somebody will lead when the time
comes, and there will be desperate
contest
