the extent and relentlessess Of it's opposition, would
have been much more effective if there had been
fewer shoulder-htters along STILL the fact that
anti i-Tammany and Morrissey are for Gov. Tilden
does great deal to square the account.
/ There are number of Tammany Tlden men here
from New-Yorl, among whom are Edward Cooper
and other delegates A number of the younger
members of the Democracy in New-York are also
here for Iilden, among whom are. Thomas Cooper

are said to be coming from Niagara County.
Besides this there are struggling arrivals from all
over the State both of Tilden and ant-Tilden men.
including New-Yorkers. The number of anti
Tilden men on the ground is very large-probably
three hundred. There are good many from
Albany. Indeed the Tilden men say that all the
anti-Tilden Democrats of Albany are here-that all
of those who who were left behind were the Gov
ernors friends. The Tiden forces are larger and
decidedly more imposing than those of their oppo-
nents, and they do not seem to have diminished in
the least their confidence in the result,
good deal of pressure from local representatives
is brought TO bear different members OF the New
York delegation. both in NewYork City and outside.
George w. Cuyler of the XXVIth District, who has
been quoted as an anti-Tilden man, is now said to
have been brought around by the representatives
of the Democrats of his own district who are here

Tilden. but is now SAID by prominent members Of
that delegation to be quite TO vote for him, al
though he may have an original preference for an
other candidate.
SIS Cox has arrived, and will vote IN the delega-
ton with John Kelly for Gov Hendricks There
have been scores of rumors as to Mr.. Cox's coming
or remaining at Washington and ii was not sup
posed until very recently that he would be present
at ALL The secret of his hesitation lay in the fact
that while he probably would naturally prefer to
cast his vote for Gov. Tilden he fears the vengeance
of John Kelly and the loss Of a denomination for
Congress if he refused 70 vote against
candidate whom Mr.. Kelly does not want.
Mr.. Cox is queer hard-money man.
On his way here ho expressed a willingness
TO have the Convention adopt as its own the last
finance plank of Pennsylvania or Indiana. Mr..
Belmont viii undoubtedly vote, as has been often
said for Mr.. Bayard; he seems to be temperate IN
his position and Tildens friends do not anticipate
much trouble from him.
The Tammany headquarters are oTnamented with
placards reading as follows The City of New
York. the largest Democratic city in the Union, Is
uncomprOmisncly opposed to the nomination OF
Samuel J. Tilden for the Presidency, because lie
cannot carry the State Of New-York." The state
ment as shown by the delegation here from the Clty
of New-York, seems only half true. The delegation
from New-Yorl seems TO be Just equally divided.
John Kelly, Messrs. Roberts, Cox, Belmont, Don
nelly. smyth, and Schell are against Tilden;
while Messrs. Fox, Ottendorfer, Olney Whitney.
Cooper. Marble and Wickham for Til

Will not be present, but the vacancy IN TIE delega-
ton will be hlled and steady Tiiden man viii un-
dGabtedly take his place. The delegation met last
night and effected temporary organization by the
election of Senator Herman as temporary Chairman,
and Alfred Wilkinson of Syracuse as temporary sec
retary, both strong Tlden men. Nothing further
was done, and the delegation adjourned without
even an informal consultation until tomorrow
morning There seems TO be no change in the dele
CATION itself as against 1ilden and SO far as any
effect upon the home delegation is concerned the
anti-Tiden demonstration does not seem to have ac-
complished anything. The Tlden men admit that

auti-Tiden men do not seemto expect many more

so large a gathering of opponents OF any candidate
from his own State, and only strong candidate
could have stood it so we'll Gov. Iilden seems to
have done thus far. The anti-Tilden men work very
systematically In order TO make as deep an I'M

wherever they can of going before delegations by
