The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1876-06-27

OF his supporters sweeps everything be
fore Il, and makes the mention Of other
names seem pnerile. This is more prom.
inently observable than in the case Of
Blaine's support at Cincinnati, and his
friends claim almost everything, even his
nomination on the second ballot with the
requisite two.thirds vote, for the two
thirds rule will be adhered to. II Is true
that important delegations, such as Wis
consin, Michigan and North Carolina,
have promised solid or nearly solid
votes for Tilden, but after all
the result will depend on the action Of
the Southern delegates. They are mostly
lockers on up 70 this time, their views
being well expressed by Gov. Walker, OF
Virginia. Gov. Walker said that the
delegation being from the Old Dominion,
which had accepted the results Of the
war and were in true unison with the
people OF the North, had come TO 81,
lLoHis with the firm determination to
ascertain what man the North preferred
as their standard bearer for 1876, and
join heart and hand in their support Of
that man.
HON. JOHN MoRRIssEY Yrt
has circulated industriously among these
delegates. He was invited before the
Louisiana delegation this afternoon, and
addressed them in:behalf Of Tilden.
SEYMOUR POSITIVELY DECLINES.
Al meeting Of the New York delega.
ton this afternoon, a letter was received
from the Hon. Horatio Seymour, declin.
ing in the most positive terms any NOM
ination that might be rendered him by
the Democratic party, He confessed that
declination appeared rather hasty
when considering the fact that no no1i-
nation had been rendered, but he'had de-
clined thus early in order that no ballot
might be wasted on him. .
rRELmuNkRr TEST. =
After some preliminary action, q for
nal test vote was taken with the view Of
ascertaining the preferences Of the dele
CATION, which resulted rs follows.-Til-

RESOLUTION OF UNITY. .e,
Arcsolution was then offered as follows:
Resolred, That the New York delegates
cast their votes as u unit until by a ma
iority vote a reconsideration shall be
agreed upon.
! The resolution passed after much dis
cussion, after which Col. Easton iptro.
duced the following: wnr. IT.
Resolved, That when by request Of twen-
ty.fve members Of this delegation for the
privilege Of retiring from the Convention

y FALSE RrMoRs. s.Hs-
With this flood for Tilden, many ru-
mors originated calculated to strengthen
him, but which were soon proven to be
false. For instance, il was circulated
that Carl Scburz would ,speak at the
Southern tonight for Tilden, but as
Schurz is in Pennsylvania that can't be,
and his partner here pronounced this
story TO be without foundation. Another
gave out that combination between the
Of Tilden and Hendricks had
been effected, the latter 10 take the second
place. This story the Indiana delegation
pronounces uniounded. am an old
soldier, says Gen. Mausan, and
NEVER CHANGE FRONT
in the face Of the enemy. We shall
stand by Gov. Hendricks 10 the end. II
the convention nominates Gov. Tilden
they will have 10 seek elsewhere for q
second 10 the ticket. The Indiana delega-
tion are firm, but are not Boosting.
. ROTH HOT AND COLD.
The Illinois delegation held long ses-
.tion this afternoon and discussed the
financial question. The delegation SEEM
ed to be about equally divided between
hard and soft money. A compromise will
be necessary If anything is said in the
platform on the money question. Gen.
John Z. McClelland, who waSseleeted for
the Committee on Resolutions, expressed
himself in favor .oi the repeal Of the re-
sumption act, but as. in favor also OF spe.
Gle payments.
A FIERCE CONTEST ON MONEY QUESTION.
There is likely to be fierce Fight on the
money question as prominent greenback
men like Voorhees,, Of Indiana, and Ew-
ing, OF Ohio, have been appointed on the
Committee on Resolutions.
In the Ohio delegation there was pro.
tracted fight, which resulted in theselec-
ton OF Hon. Thomas Ewing by % votes.
This question Is SO much feared that q
number OF delegates are urging the pro-,
priety OF saying nothing on the money
question in theplatform.
