Democratic Convention.

y
adherents of the various candidates
working to the last in behalf of their
favorites. Col. Roberts, from New
York, made strong fight among the
members of the convention against
Tilden and in favor of Hendricks, in
which he was assisted by delegation
from Indiana. Mr. Perry Smith tried
to read telegram from Manton Mar
BILE explaining that Tilden was not
chairman of the committee putting
forth the celebrated peace platform In
1854, but the convention refused to lis
ten to the dispatch. The delegates
were then appointed, those in favor of
Tilden being in the majority. It is
believed they will not stick to him,
but will go to Hendricks rather than
Davis when the proper moment ar
| rives.
