ST. LOUIS, June 27.-As the press tel
egrSphic report has informed you, The
convention was called to order by
Chairman Schell, Of the national COM.
mittee, who called Henry Watterson tC
the chair pending permanent organi.
cation, very much to the satisfaction o.
every one. Watterson acquitted him.
self with skill, tact and address, and
made very solid impression, reversing
many precoDceptions unfavOrRble tC
him. His speech, as was that of Mr.
Sehell, was In coed TASTE and soundly
Democratic. Watterson held the con.
vention well IN hand, and ruled with
precision and decision. His election was
A TRIUMPH FOR TILDEN,
as was that OF General McClernand as
permanent chairman. The speeca OF
the latter was well received. There
was remarkable absence OF anything
like 8 spirit Of discussion, and the only
thing looking that way that 1 have
heard of is the difficulty encountered by
the committee on platform in reaching
q harmonious or unanimous conclusion.
They are busy at work tonight, and
viii no doubt be able to report on the
milling OF the convention to.mor-
row. There is no change in the posi-
ton OF the Tennessee delegation. Our
State will vote as unit for Hendricks
until q vote is called for by six or more,
and even then unless there are thirteen
pronounced for another candidate. But
without Tennessee Tilden, as things
stand now, win be nominated
ON THE THIRD BALLOT.
On the first ballot he will receive 412
votee, and will grow in grace, it is con-
fidently believed, until he is elected on
the third ballot. The States sat down
as certain for him are: Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, C0nnecti-
cut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Masss-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mifsis-
sippi, Missouri, NebIa:ka, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Sluth Carolina, Texas,
Vermont, West Virginia, and Wiscon.
sin. These, together, make up the 4l2
votes. Should Virginia and Louisiana
vote for him, as they are likely to do,
the figures would be increased nineteen.
Then there are New jersey, Delaware,
and Pennsylvania to hear from, all of
whom have favorable sons, who will
give place to Tilden as ----.
THE MAN FOR THE PEOPLE.
1t would really seem as II we we're to
receive the enemies Of Democracy with
an old-fashioned ground.sweIl for Til
den. The growth of public opinion in
his favor has Leen something wonderful
-eclipsing all the predictions Of his
friends. voorhees,, of Indiana, and Cox,
of New York, made speeches in the hall
of the convention, after the adjourn
ment this evening, which were well re-
ceived, Notwithstanding they were elO-
quent appeals for Hendricks. voorhees,
was especially eloquent and manly, and
increased his great reputation as pub.
lie speaker. 4
AN INCIDENT
OF the days proceedings Will have spe-
cial interest for our Yoman's suffrage
people. 1 refer to the addres of Miss
Rhode Cozzahs, pleading the cause of
woman, modes, womsnly woman,
quiet, dignifisd department, yet self
possessed. she made an appeal that
was received with something more than
passing or complimentary attention. 1t
is possible that the platform may make
q general recognition of the wOmen's
address presented by Miss Cozzens. The
financial and the Chinese planlss are
points Of difficulty with the platform
THE GERMAN AMERICANS
new in st. Louis, representatives OF
nearly sll the States, have formally IrO.
nounced for Tildsn and are urgent fer
his nomination. AS things look now,
the convention viii adjourn to-mOrrow.
The platform will be reported go sOon as
the convention mee,s, when ToEn. IA
tions will Is in order. Three bAl.ots
will complete the work. Strengthening
this belief 1 may mention the fact that
all but four of the COMMITTEES on organ
ization were Tilden men. Remembering
this committee, with all the others,
was elected Ia delegations themselves,
the Significance Of their bearing toward
our candidate will be apparent. West
Tennessee and Tilden were Tepresented d
in the organization, Marsh Polk being
one Of the secretaries. St. Louis is to-
night
A SIGHT To SIZE.
The streets are brilliantly illuminated,
and parading bands fill the air with
music. Everything promises well.
