ST. LOWS, June M.--Twenty Michi-
gan delegates will vote for Tilden.
A dispatch from the Virgins. delega-
tion states they are unit for Tilden.
0r. LovIs. June 2A.-The Illinois
delegation Is placed Tilden %. Davis
10. Hendricks .. Individual delegates
from the Southern States talk pretty
freely, but ere careful not to commit
tholr delegations to any particular opin-
con or line Of action. One Of them, very
rruminent In Arkansas, is for Tilden,
and he believes that most Of the repre-
sentative men OF the South prefer that
gentleman, though his observations
modify some OF his views on the gen.
erai situation, and he thinks II likely
that such will be the case with many
delegates from that section. Gen. Han
cook, he says, has gained largely la the
South lately, and, next to Tilden, he is
the choice or the Southern Democrats.
Although the South has the majority
cf the Democratic votes necessary to
Alect President. yet they do not pro-
pose TO dictate In the least. They want
3 candidate who can carry the election
place the Government In the hands OF
the Democracy.
Gov. Hendricks, this Alabama gentle
man says, has little strength in the
South; still, IL Is thought he is the
strongest man in the North, and can
carry New York and such other States
"A will insure success, the South will
GLADLY accept him and give him its full
vote. II the South has any demand to
make, il Ia that the nominee OF the con-
vention shall be a man against whose
loyalty to the Federal Government dur
ing the war not even shade Of suspic-
ion can attach.
The nomination Of Hayes by the Re-
publicans has unsettled opinion in the
South somewhat. With Blaine, Morton
or Oonklineon the Republican ticket,
Tilden was by all odds the man for the
Democratic nomination; but the mega
+ tive qualities OF Hayes, and the strength
