PROBABILITIES AT ST. LOUIS.
The General Feeling in Chic Tilden
Hancock and Davis.

t~vtM AtIA ilCluul
A prominent Republican official
Louis, expresses the belief that the
Democrats will accept Gov. Tilden as
their strongest candidate. He does not
believe that Gen. Hancock will be nom
mated or would be strong in the West II
he should be- since the soldiers do not
choose to accept military candidate
however good q record he may have,

while q great number of Democrats who
were opposed to the war become luke.
warm or refuse to support the ticket
when a soldier is the nominee. The
Ohio Democrats, on the other hand, as
a rule, have favored Hancock's nomina-
ton since the Republican ticket was
made, in the belief that he can carry
Ohio and Inuiana. He would destroy
and would take the votes of the
soldiers who served under him, and
number of whom are in Ohio.
The necessity of making candidate at
st. LNuis who would carry Ohio and In.
diana, or, at least, carry Indiana, and
press Governor Hayes closely in Ohio
Is now generally conceded here. Hen
bricks is said to be weak in Ohio because
OF his total abstinence principles and
his backing and filling on the financial
question. The Indiana people are not
by any means, enthusiastic in his sup
port, and some Indiana Democrats deny
that he could carry that State, while he
has the weight Of his support Of Allen
in the soft money Ohio campaign to
handicap him in New York and the
East. The infiationists in Cincinnati

against Tilden seems very decisive here,
and from the talk of prominent Ohio
and Indiana Democrats, it would seem
as II he would have poor chance. OF
carrying either State In the October
elections. It Is asserted that Ohio
would roll up against him one Of her
old-fashioned majorities Of 10000 or
$4,000. and that the Presidential contest
would be settled before the day Of cleo
ti0n. Thurman is well-spoken OF, but
even his friends do not seem to have
fsith IN his availability. The name OF
David Davis begins now to be whis-
p0red about,

Western man named, and It should b
stated that In the above count only Til
/ den 3 positive strength is counted. Their
are. for instance, In Illinois two vote
uncommitted and three for Tilden as
second choice, but these are counted
as against him. The same Is true in Mis-
sourf, Iowa and Michigan, where secont
den. Mr.. Tilden's friends are quite
sanguine that their favorite will go intt
the convention with majority on the
first ballot. III he can hold 30 Of New
York's IS votes, and bring New England
solid, or nearly so, he will not fall shor
Of majority on the first ballot. 1t Is .
| historical fact that only two candidates
who received majority Of all the elec.
toral votes were defeated by the two
thirds rule-Van Buren, In 1874 and
Douglas in 1860. The friends Of Mr.
Tilden feel quite sure Of his nomination
II they can obtain for him majority
even on the second ballot.
1t is not determined yet whether OF
not there will be an effort made to abro-
gate the two-thirds rule, or rather to
prevent It's adoption. II there is such
an effort made It is not likely that 1t will
originate with the Tilden men. The
Hendricks men appear to be in doubt as
to whether the two-thirds rule will
operate against them or not.
There Is no disposition on the part OF
any OF the delegates yet present to go
wild on the currency question. The
Hendricks men, VINO are the most IRA
tional on this subject, do not ask any
thing more than the repeal Of the re-
sumption act. They are not In favor Of
more money, but they affirm that to
compel resumption In 1879 will bank
mt hfxu rhf,l Wnct Gtun than n roc
olution demanding the repeal of this
ill-advised law and they will be satisfied.
It Is understood also that the Ohio men
will demand nothing more.
HANCocK's 9 SUPPORTERS.
The action of the Pennsylvania dele
cation Is awaited here with considerable
anxiety, as it was at Cincinnati. 1t Is
believed that majority Of the dele
gates favor Hancock, but in the closing
minutes of the Lancaster Convention a
resolution was put through, when there
was not quorum present, instructing
the delegation to vote as unit. This
was done in the interest Of the Hend-
ricks-Curtin arrangement, and it is said
that part OF the delegates, headed by
Sam Randall, will refuse to be bound by
the unit rule. III this proves true, then,
even ii their is majority In favor OF
Hancock, he will not get the solid vote
Of the delegation. Outside Of Pennsyl
vania Hancock will have some strength
in Indiana and Ohio as compromise
man, but his principal supporters will
be from the South. Louisiana has in
structed for him. and her delegates will
work zealously for their choice. 1t is
said also that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, oi
Virginia, Is the warm friend OF Han
cock and will urge his nomination in
quiet way. The argument Of the South
ern men who favor Hancock Is this
His nomination will render the Radical
cry Of Southern outrages abortive and
take the bloody. shirt altogether out u
obtrude their opinions and wishes upop
the Convention. Their policy is to say
little and to try and shape their views
to meet the wishes Of the majority oi
the Northern delegates.
