10 psrading the streets much to the
qualification of the crowds of peo-
! pie. Meanwhile the anti Tide n
leaders who are seeking for somebody
strong enough to carry Ohio, Indiana
and New York, are working with great
energy. A p~robate(?) conference was
held in ParlOr No. 2, of the Southern
Hotel last night, which was attended
by representatives from different dele
cations opposed to Tilden. Speeches
were made by Roger A. Pryor, John
Kelly and others, which were received
with a good deal Of enthusiasm. The
object of the meeting was to zee what
they can count OH. They report that
they are strong enough to defeat III
den. They indicated no choice. This
meeting has been responded to to-day
by work.on the part of Tilden that will
count in the convention. The delega
tons of Mississippi and Wisconsin held
meetings and agreed to cast the vote of
each delegation solid for Tilden. This
ia n decided important gain. The same
kind of work is being done with other
delegations. and the Tilden managers
express the greatest confidence of ulti-
mate success in spite of the efforts Of
TanlusaUy.

THE sr. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The National Democratic Conven-
ton will assemble in st. Louis at II
o'clock to-day. 1t Is u recollection
that the convention will be composed
of 554 delegates. The gathering is not
attracting quite Is much attention as
did that at Cincinnati last week, but
this lack of interest may not count
much on the final result. The s'ins''
always have a more enthusiastic fo'-
lowing than the ''outs." Latest ad-
vices from the front indicate that the
contest will be mainly between Tilden
and Hendricks, with the chances
largely in favor Of the former. 1t is
hardly probable that the convention
will, do more than to organize and ap.
point the usual committees to-day.
We have arranged to give our home
patrons the very earliest news of the
NOMINATIONS.
