ST. LOUIS. June 24-Twenty Michigan

A dispatch from the Virginia deleg gatioH
states they are q unit for Tilden.
The Illinois delegation is placed: Tildeh
%, Davis 10, Hendricks 8.
individual delegates from the Southern
States talk pretty freely, but are careful
not to commit their delegations to any par.

Tilden, and he believes that moet of the
men of the South prefer

since leaving home have tended to modify
some OF his views on the general situation,

General Hancock, he says, has gained
largely in the South lately, and next to,
Tilden he is the choice Of the Southern
Democrats. Although the South has the

is that the nominee Of the conven-

Republicans has unsettled opinion ia the
South somewhat. With Blaine, Morton or
Conkling on the Republican ticket, Tilden
was by all odds the man for the Democratic
nomination; but the negative qualities of
Hayes, and the strength resulting there
from, have modified views 10 the South to
some extent, and although there is no doubt
that Governor Samuel J.. Tilden is the
choice OF the South, it may be thought that
some other man will be stronger and more
successful before the people. Other South
ern delegates express opinions 81 nilar to the
above.
The Nevada delegation favors Tilden
The delegations from the Pacific slope are
anxious to have Chinese immigration dis.
cussed by the convention.
Maine, New Jersey and Georgia delega-
tions have arrived. There have also ar
sas, who will hold q meeting here and elect
delegates to the national convention.
Individual members desire an acknowl-
edgment that the people Of the Pacific
States are right in their opposition to Mon
g0lian immigration.
A small portion of the Ohio delegation
have also arrived. The delegation was in
structed to support Allen, but the members
now here say they would accept Thurman
or, perhaps, Hendricks.
Just Before Midnight.
This has been q very busy day at the
hotels. Delegates have poured in by every
regular train, and several special trains
have arrived heavily laden with delegates
and the friends of the various candidates.
But few full delegations have arrived.
1t is, therefore, difficult to ascertain
what is the real position this or
that State will take in the convention, and
conversation with individual mem Der. dis
closes only to degree the opinion of the
whole. Prominent delegates from Michigan
say their delegation has had no co lference
yet. They are without instructions, and
will vote as the beat interests of party
seem to indicate. 1t is claimed, however,
that eighteen Of the twenty-five delegates
are for Tilden. Most of the Indiana dele
CATION have arrived They are for Hend-
ricks first, last and all time. Furthermore,
they will listen to no compromise, nor will
they agree to any arrangement looking to
giving Hendricks second place on the ticket
with Tilden. Whether they would favor
Hendricks being placed second to ar ' other
man than Tilden 10 not known, aud does
not seem to have been discussed.
In reply to . question whether Indiana
mated, it was stated that the leading Demo
Gratis would, but there was much apprehen-
sion that the country press would not. and
if there should be anything like bolt the
effsct would be very disastrous on the eleos
ton in that State.
1t is asserted that Pennsylvania will give
Tilden but two votes; that three-titths Of
the delegation are for Hancock. and that
these in the event that it appears that Hans
cock can not be nominated will 20 to Hep
bricks.
1t is claimed that Illinois, which has here's
t0fore been reported twenty-th for Til
den, will give twenty-seven votes for Hans
cock, eleven for Tilden and four for Davis.
The Hendricks men claim that the vote
of Davis will 60 to them ultimately. A
prominent member of the Illinois delega.
tion states that he intends to make q speech
in the convention and bring charges against
Tilden Of very damaging character. He
says Tilden does not deserve the respect OF
the nation. and is ANYTHING but refopmer
