st. Louis-Tildcn Ahead.
ST. LOUIS, June 26.
The hopes of the opponents of TIL
den center around Pennsylvania.
This State has resolved to vote solid
for Hancock and to continue TO vote
for him, with no second choice behind.
This action. they think, will draw
to their support enough States on the
second ballot to prevent the nomina
zion of Tiiden. and then Vim. Allen, of
Ohio, being out ofthe way, the vote of
that State would be added to the Han
cock column, to be followed tater by
Hendricks supporters. This is their
plan. and if it should succeed Pennsyi-
vania would be able to give the second
place to Hon. Thos. Ewing. The
friends of Hendricks evidently see the
critical nature of the situation and are
aiding in the effort to prevent a two
third vote for Tilden. That is the only
hope left 10 The opponents of the New
York candidate. The count for Tilden
on the first ballot now exceed 400. The
Tainmanv leaders are so much dis
couraged as to be about ready to give
III the contest.
