St. Louis Convention.

| OF. LOUIS, june 90
Saturday was n very busy day at the
hotels. Delegates have poured in by every
regular train, and several special train,
have arrived heavily laden with delegates
and friends Of the various candidates. bu
few delegations have arrived and 1t II
therefore difficult to ascertain what rea
position this or that state will take in the
convention. Prominent delegates from
Michigan say that delegation has had no
conference yet. They are without in.
structions and will vote as the best inter.
ests of the party seem to indicate. 1t is
claimed, however. that 10 of the 90 del
egates are for Tilden, and it lie probable
the state will vote as unit for that gen.
tleman
Most Of the Indiana delegation have ar
rived, anu they assert that they are FOR
Hendricks, first. last and all the time fur
thermore that they will listen TO not COM
promise, nor will they agree to arrange
ment looking TO giving Hendricks the sec
ond place on the ticket with Tilden
Whether they would favor Hendricks be-
ing placed second to any other man than
Tilden is not known, and the subject does
not seem to have been discussed. In reply
to question whether the Indiana demo.
Gratis would support Tilden If nominated,
it was stated that the leading democrats
would, but there was much apprehension
that the country press would not, and if
there should be anything like bolt the
effect would be very disastrous on the cleo
ton in that state.
1t is asserted that Pennsylvania will give
Tilden but two votes; that three-fifths of
the delegation are for Hancock, and that
these, in the event it appears that Hancock
cannot be nominated, will go to Hendricks.
1t is now claimed that Illinois, which has
heretofore been reported twenty-three for
Tilden, will give twenty-seven votes for
Hendricks, eleven for Tilden, four for
Davis, and the Hendricks men claim the
Davis vote will go to them ultimately. A
prominent member of this delegation states
that he intends to make speech in the
convention and bring
CHARGES AGAINST TILDKN
of very damaging character. He says
Tilden does not deserve the respect of the
nation and is anything but reformer.
A HOT TAMMANY FIGHT.
John Morrissey arrived to-day. he is
very pronounced in his advocacy of Tilden
as the best, strongest, most available man
for the time. There have been several
quite heated disputes between the Tam
many ard anti-Tammany men, some of
them of rather exciting character. The
Tammanyltes are hot for the defeat of Til
den at all hazards. They assert that he
cannot carry New York, and that his
nomination will defeat the party. Morris
sey and his friends, on the other hand, con-
tend that Tilden's reform record will en-
able him to sweep New York by a larger
majority than ever, as well as New Jersey
and Connecticut, where they say the battle
ground of the democracy lies. With these
three states, they think the democrats can
concede the doubtful western states to the
republicans and still win the victory.
The advance guard of the the New Jer-
sey delegation came to-day. The delega;
lion is uninstructed and will vote as unit
for ex-Gov. Parker. TheyS claim to have
that in the event of Til
lens defeat Parker will be the successful
nan. The body of sixty Arkansas dele
gates who were appointed by the state con-
yention recently held at Little Rock to Sc
ect from their number delegates to tie
national convention will assemble here on
Monday ard carry ont the instructions of
state convention. Tuis body consists of
welve representatives from each congress
'ional district and twelve from the state at
arge. This body is said 10 be largely
of Tlden men, and they will
probably elect delegation in favor Of that
gentleman. Mayor Wickham of New
FORK arrived to-day and oppressed himself
trongly in favor of Tllden as the true rep
esentative of reform, economy and honesty
n government. and the one most likely to
cad the party to victory.
BILL ALLEN AND HIS RAG BABY.
All the Ohio delegates except four are
low here. All are agreed on Allen for a
irst choice, and will stand by him so long
g lie has any chance of success. They
'elieve he can carry the state against
iayes. Thurman has strong friends for
econd choice who may, as the matter now
lands, number about 30, but probabilities
re that when the delegation leaves Allen
he preference will be forced tor Hancock,
or whom there is growing feeling. Opin-
ons differ as to Thurman being able to
AIRY New York, but all are sanguine that
Allen can carry that state and Indiana, and
cast of his strength in the south. The
eminent is very emphatic against Tilden
nd in no case it is asserted he will get
more than struggling votes from the Ohio
allegation. Allen is believed to be stronger
han Thurman not only in Ohio but every
there else. Some of the delegates say
be country will be disappointed and the
esult disastrous if the convention does not
ut a resumption plank in the platform
nd on this issue they believe they can
AIRY Ohio with any acceptable democrat.
NOTES AND GOSSIP.
