Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29.-The St.
Louis nominations have awakened an en-
thusiasm among Democrats here that had
hardly been dreamed, and prominent Re-
publican members Of Congress admit that
it is an exceedingly strong team.
The nomination OF Hendricks as second
on the ticket was q blow they had hoped
would be averte0.
The campaign will be opened without de-
lay, and there is every indication OF stern
and vigorous work for both sides. At no
time have Democrats been more sansllinc OF
victory than now.
THE BLOODY SHIRT BUSINESS.
The Radicals will not relinqlish their in
tention to 90 into the contest on the bloody
shirt principle.
Morton is quite angry at the turn things
have taken, and in expressing his opinion
about it .ll-naturedly said Tilden is Il sham
reiormer-a trickster-and that he regards
his nomination rs the weakest which could
have been made. AS to Hendricks accept
ine the vice-presidency, he said, ''Why, he
declines nothing; he would accept super
yisorShip."
THE HEATHER CHINEE.
Senator Booth. the Californa retormcr,
saws it is a strong ticket, and that the Demo

T1LDEN STRONG WITH GERMANS.
Terry Rusk, OF Wisconsin, says Tildcn
will be strong with the Germans in his State,
and Conkling is open and emphatic IN his
declaration that the ticket is strong one.
