LOUISVILLE, June 2G.-COl. Bristow
reached here to-day, This evening an
immense crowd Of bis friends and neigh.
bors called on him informally and gave
him y hearty welcome TO his, old Ken
lucky home. The reception was
participated in by men OF all
parties. All seemed to. be proud OF
The great distinction he had won
and Of the honor he had done TO. his
city and State BY his able and honest ad.
ministration Of the Treasury. There Is
no doubt OF the fact that Col. Bristow has
a warm place In the hearts Of the people
here Of all parties. The demonstration
this evening was like an old.fashioned
family gathering = judges, physicians,
merchants, Democrats and Republicans
alike taking part.

,,,,,,on,. strength nj NJ. Louis.

TII,,cus strength nj NJ. Louis.
There isno doubt Of the fact that Til
dena strength at 81. Louis far exceeds
that Of any other candidate. Our dis
patches show that he looms up very
strong indeed-sO strong that his oppo.
ncnts, even::with the two-tlirds rule in
their favor, are in great fear Of his NOM
ination. There is plan on foot to'de
feat him through the medium Of the
Pennsylvania delegation. Pennsylvania
is the great slayer OF candidates. She
proposes to sIay Tilden with HancOckiand
in order to do this she will initiate Ohio
in the Cincinnati Convention. She Will
take up Hancock and stick to him, and
wait for break. The proposition Is
to give Ohio the second place on the
ticket provided she comes TO the rescue
in good time. Hancock, OfPa., for Presi-
dent, and General Ewing, Of Ohio, for
Vice President, is the programme.
So far as the Republicans are con-
cerncd, the Democracy cannot do a better
thing than defeat Tilden. He is .their
strongest man, If they only knew it. II
Carl Schurz is yet undecided what course
to pursue,i il is because lie Is waiting TO see
il the Democracy will accept Tilden and
all that his nomination implies in the
way Of political reform and specie re-
sumption. 1t Il evident that the Democ-
racy ARE in great tribulation what to
do about it. They are between FIRE and
water-the fire Of the East and the
water of the west. They think seriously
Of lodging the money question in toto.
They should do as their West Virginia
brethren essayed TO do at Charleston, viz:
remit the question to the Congressional
districts. Ifthey could only remit the Sc
lection Of a candidate to the same
districts, and go into the campaign in an
entire state OF midity, as respects both
candidates and principles, they wonld be
happy. They are perfectly nervous over
the imminent possibility Of making an
other botch Of tkisjob--the same as at New
York in 1868 and at Baltimore in '72'
How to avoid similar mistake this time
ii their present torment Of mind.

- FALSE RrMoRs.

With this flood for Tilden, many ru-
mors originated calculated to strengthen
him, but which were soon proven to be
false. For instance, il was circulated
that Carl Scburz would speak at the
Southern tonight for filden, but as
Schurz is in Pennsylvania that can't be,
and his partner here pronounced this
story to be without foundation. Another
gave out that combination between the

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT
TO THE Daily fNrELLIGEN0ER
A Row In tIie Democratic Camp
over the River Yesterday.
BARNEsvr11r, August II.


Special 10 the lnlelligenecr'
The Democratic Judicial Convention
for this district composed Of Belmont and
Monroe counties) met here to-day. A
contest arose over the delegation from
Bellaire, and so high was the feeling that
nearly all the Belmont county delegates
withdrew from the convention. The
remnant, however, OF the Belmont dele
cation, along with the Monroe county
delegates, nominated the Hon. Wm.
Okey, OF Monroe, for Judge.
Great confusion and much ill temper
the convention throughout.
Belmont and Monroe elected temporary
Chairmen andlneither party would yield
their claims. The contest in Pultney
township made the trouble, as the con-
testants from there held the balance Of
power and could decide the nomination.
Hence the rumpus.
The seeding Belmont delegates pro-
pose 10 nominate Judge Chambers as an
Independent candidate.
