ST. LOUIS, June 26.-The Hendricks
men are feeling more confident this
morning than yesterday. Gen. Man
son. who is working very iudiciously
for lndiana's favoritc, has assurances
of support from States not vet count
ed on, and after the first ballot II Is
expected he will make decided ooins.
A Hendricks band is now parading
the streets, much to tho qualification
of the crowd. Meanwhile the anti.
Tilden men, who are working for
somebody strong enough to carry In
diana, Ohio and New York. are work
ing with great energy
SAM. TILDEN.
a conference was held last night
and was attended by representatives
from the different delegations OBJ
posed to Tilden. Speeches were
made by Roger A. Pryor, John A..
Kelley, and others, and they were re-
ceiyed with a good deal of enthusi-
assn. The object Of the meeting was
TO see what they can count on. They
report That they are strong enough to
defeat Iildcn, but they indicate no
choice. This meeting has been re-
sponded to to-day by work on the
part ofithc Tilden men that will count
in the convention. giaea ss
The delegations of Massachusetts,
and Wisconsin have held meetings
and agreed to cast the vote of each
delegation solid for Tilden. This is a
decided and important gain. The
same kind of work is being done
with other delegations, and the Til.
den managers express the greatest
confidence in the ultimate result. In
spite of the herculcan efforts of Tam
many it is now believed that the two
thirds rule will be sustained. None
OF the friends of the prominent can
didates seem to have courage to at.
tack it. 'If it does stand" said a
delegate, "I'ilden is beaten" Nc
doubt some one will lead when the
time comes, and there will be q direct
contest. Il. r.sGi t.,.sH
