ST.. LOUIS, June 25.-The deiegstet
from the different States have nesrly al
arrived. The organization Of the Tllder
men is strong and perfect. Tilden'
headquarters are at the Lindell anc
Southern hotels. Tammsny are qusrtereC
at the Lindeli, and making lively fgh
against Tilden. Hendricks has strons
working force, but it is not well organ
ized. The Tilden men are jubiIsnt anC
Hendricks men confident. A strong
undercurrent is IN favor OF Thurman
1t is conceded that Pennsylvania
will present Hancock's name. Mr.. Cox
of New York, anti rilden. will probably
be temporary chairman. Wallace o

ment president. The West Eirgini,
delegates are not all in. NJ.
ST. LOUIS, June 24.-Part of tn,
Nevada delegation arrived last night
The delegation is unpledged, but The
members of it favor Tllden in preference
te any one else. Ua9cock and Hendricks
they say, have many admirers IN Ne
vada and West OF the mountains, but
there seems to be great preference fol
Tilden, he being regarded as the repre-
sentative of reform, and as most likely u
carry the Democratic party TO victory.
All the delegates from the Paclis
Slope seem anxious TO have the Chimes
, immigration question discussed, and ther'
will no doubt be an effort made to incor
porate into the platform Of the Conven'
.ion a plank on this subject. lndi'
vidusl mem bers desire an acknowledge
nent that the people of the Pacific
Slope are right il their opposition t
Mongolisn Immigration.
A small part of the Ohio delegation
has also arrived. The delegation il in
structed for Allen, but the members here
say they would accept Thurman, and
perhaps Hendricks, although they do not
consider him strong candidate and
could hardly carry Ohio, OF any other
thoroughly sound man and sterling Dem
ocrat. There seems TO be very strong
objections TO Tilden among the dele
gates, yet, under certain circumstances,
they would no doubt vote for him.
Hancock is considered q weak csudI.

some of them fear that the nomination o'
Hendricks would be the precursor of y
Democratic Waterloo.
