Prospecting Among the Democratic

st. Louis, June 25.-rhe Hendricks
men are feeling more contdent this
morning than yesterday. tien. Man-
son, who is working very juuiciousiy
for Indiana's fav0rite, has assurances
of support from States not before
counted on, and after the first ballot it
is expected that he will make decided
gains. A Hendricks band is now
paradiHg the streets, much TO the graf
Ification of crowds OF people.
Meanwhile the antl-TIiden leaders,
who are seeking for somebody strong
enough to carry Ohio, Indiana and
energy. A private conference WAS
held in the Southern hotel, last night,
which was attended by representatives
from the different delegations opposed
to Tilden. Speeches were made by
Roger A. Prior, J ohm Kelly and others,
which were received by good deal OF
enthusiasm.
The object of the meeting was to see
what they can count on. They report
that they are strong enough to defeat
TUden. They indicated no choice.
This meeting has been responded to
to-day by work OH the part of Tilden
that will count i'll the convention.
The delegations of Massachusetts and
Wisconsin held meetings and agreed
to cast the vote of each delegation solid
for Tilden.
There is no organized effort here for
any candidate except Tilden. The
audacity of his supporters sweeps
everything before 1t and makes the
mention OF other names seem puerile.
lxt ta
case of Blaine's support at Cincinnati
and his frienus claim almost every
thing. His nomination ON the End
ballot with the requisite two-thirds
will be adhered to.
1t is true that important delegations
such as Wisconsin, 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 delegation. They are
mostly lookers-on up to this time,
their views being well expressed by
Gov. Walker, of Virginia, who said
the delegation were in true unison
with the people of the north and had
come to st. Louis with the firm deter
mination to ascertain what man the
north preferred as their standard
bearer for 1876, and would join in sup
port Oh tnal man.
AT meeting of the New York dele
CATION this afternoon formal test
vote was taken which resulted in Til
den 81. seymour I, Hendricks Z. Hoff-
man, Church, Hancock and Bayard !.
A resolution was then offered that the
New York delegation cast their votes
as a unit until majority vote of re-
consideration be agreed upon, and the
resolution passed.
The Indiana delegation are firm but
are not boasting.
The Illinois delegation held session
this afternoon and discussed the finan-
cial questions of the times. The dele
CATION seem TO be about equally divided
between hard and soft money, but is
settled in the conviction that COM
promise will be necessary if anything
is said in platform on the money
question.
The money question is SO much fear
ed that a number of the delegates are
urging the propriety ofsaying nothing
on the money question in the plat
form.
OF the Territories only Colorado will
be permitted to participate in the pro-
ceedings of the convention.
MIDNIaHT.-At this hour it locks
as though Tilden would sweep the
field. Henry Waterson, editor Louis
vile Courier-Journal, will be tempor-
ary chairman. which is victory for
the Tildenites.
