They claim to have encouragement that
in the event of Tilden's defeat Parker
will be the successful man.
\ body of sixty from Asrkansas, who
were appointed by the State Convention
recently held at Little Rock, to select
from their number nelegstes to the Ma
tionsl Convention, will assemble here on
Monday, and carry out the instructions
OF the State Convention. This body
consists of twelve representatives
from each Congressional District,
and twelve from the State at large,
and when assembled will present the
novel feature of an Arkansas Convention
held in Missouri. This body is said TO be
largely composed OF Tildeu men, and
they will probably elect delegates favor
able to that gentleman.
Mayor Wickhsm, of New York, ar
rived to-day, and expressed himself
strongly in favor Of Tilden as the true
represen tative of reform, economy and
honesty in the government, and the one
most likely to lead the party TO victory.
Ali Of the Ohio delegation, except
four, are now here. Various opinions
prevail in the delegation rs 10 the second
choice, but all are agreed on Allen for
the 6rst choice, and will stand by him SO
long as ne has any chance of sui cess.
They believe he can carry the State
against Hayes Thurman has strong
friends for the second choice, who may,
rs matters now stand, number about
thirty. but the probabilities are that when
The delegation leaves Allen, the prefer
ence will be forced for Hancock, for
whom there is growing feeling. OpIn-
ions differ as TO Thurman being able 10
carry New York, but all are sanguine
that Allen can carry that State and In
diana, and boast of his strength in the
South. The sentiment is very EN-.
phatic against Tilden, and 10 no
case IS it asserted that he will have
more than q Struggling vote from the
Ohio delegates. Allen is believed to be
stronger than Thurman, not only IN
Ohio, but every where. Some OF the
delegates say the country will be disap-
pointed and the result disastrous, If the
convention does not put q resumption
plank IN the platform, and on this issue
they believe they can carry Ohio with
any acceptable Democrat. Calculations
made by persons who claim to be well
ADVISED, give Tilden 404 votes on the
frst ballot. Under the two-thirds rule
it will require 492 votes to elect a
nominee. There has been some talk about
compromise candidates to-day, and
among those uiost prominently mention
ed is Henry b. Payne, Of Ohio. Senator
Herman, of New York, was serenaded AT
the Lindell Hotel tonight, and made 3
speech in advocxtion Of the nomination
of man who can wrest the government
from the party Of corruption and place
il in the hands oil those who will admin
ister it in the interest Of honesty, reform
and Justice TO H..
Henry N. Waterson, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, was serenaded at the
Southern Hotel, and responded in n
speech. Gen. Breckenridge Dan. Voor.
