There are five democratic veterans In at
tendance here who have been at every
democratic convention since 1874, namely :
| Hendrck b. Wright, of Pennsylvania,
| who presided ut the Baltimore convention
which nominated Polk and Dallas ex.
| Gov. Birrah Magofflp, of Kentucky John
H. Hooner, of Michigan, and VIM G. Ell
lis, of Pennsylvania, who is now in his
| Saith year, and who was actually tried foi
the murder of Morgan during the anti
Masonic excitement The Tribune's cor
respondent tabulates the vote with the fol-
| lowing result: Tilden will have 2l5t votes
on the first ballot, only 30t short of ma
| iority Hancock will probably have 81,
Bayard IL, Hendricks 44t, Parker 0, AL
| len 90. A circular was freely circulated
about the streets yesterday by the anti
Tllden men, from which the following is
an extract
AS the friends OF Governor Tilden from
New York are circulating report among
the delegates to the convention from Other
states, that the opposition in the state OF
New York to his nomination emenated
from parties either without personal
character or having little political influence,
1t Is proper that the fact should be laid be-
fore the delegates assembled that they may
be able to Judge in an intelligent ard i'm
partial manner of the truth OF those state
ments and shape their action accordingly
The following partial and incomplete lis
of prominent New York democrats whS
oppose Tiden's nomination, on the groun'
that he cannot carry his own state or Ih'
country. is the best answer 10 these state
menis and is all the evidence it is deeme,
necessary to furnish, viz ; Augustus Schtll
John Kelley, August BE mont, Wm. b
Travers, Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum
Judge Gilbert, Horatio Seymour, jr.
