twenty-five of that delegation for the
privilege of retiring from the Conven.
tion for consultation, the motion to re-
consider the vote shall be in order for
discussion.
With this food for Tilden many
rumors originated calculated to strength
en- him, but which run down proved to
be false. For instance, it was circulated
that Carl Schurz would speak at the
Southern Hotel tonight for Tilden, but
as Schu.z il in Pennsylvania that could
not be, and his partner here pronounced
the story to be without foundation.
Another was gave out that q combina-
tion between the supporters of Tilden
and Hendricks had been effected. the
latter to take the second place. This
story the Indiana delegation pronounce
uniounded.
II am an old soldier" says General
Manssn, 'and never change front in the
face of an enemy. We shall stand by
Governor Hendricks TO the end. If the
Convention nominstes Governor Tilden
they will seek elsewhere for second to

tirm, but are not boasting."
The Illinois delegation held long

cation seemed 70 be about equally divid
ed between hard and soft money, but
settled in u conviction that cOmprom
ise will be necessary if anything is said
in the platform on the money question:
Gen. John E. McClelland, who was Sc
lected for the Committee on Resolutions,
expressed himself in lsvor of the repeal
OF the resumption act but as in favor
also OF specie payments. There

the money question in the platform.
OF the Territories only Colorado will
be permitted TO participate IN the pre-

The Hopes Of the Oppanents OF TIL

now centre around Pennsylvania.
This State has resolved TO vote solid for
Hancock, and TO continue TO vote for
him with no second: choice. Beside
this action they think will draw to
their support enough States on the
second ballot 10 prevent the nomination
of Tidea, and then VIM. Allen, OF
Ohio, being out Of the way that State
We uld be added 10 the Hancock column,
and be followed later by the Hendricks
supporters. This Is their plan
Ii il should succeed. Pennsylvania would
be able to give the second place to Hon.
Thomas Ewing. The friends of Hen
bricks evidently see the critical nature OF
the situation, and are aiding in the effort
10 prevent two.thirds vote for TlIden.
That now is the only hope left 10 the op
ponents of the New York candidate.
The count for Tildeh on the fist ballot
now exceeds four hundred. The Tam
many leaders are 80 much discouraged
as to be about ready to give up the con
test, and At this hour it look ~ II Iiideh
