| TIE BALANCE OF POWER WITH THE SOUTH.
A few hours here are all that is necessary
| to satisfy looker-on that there Is no organ
lied effort OF great force for any candidate
except Tilden. The audacity OF his. sup
porters sweeps everything before it, and
makes the mention OF the other names seem
pueriIe. This is more prominently so than
| in the case Of Blaine's supporters at Cincin-
| IL,
thing, and his nomination on the second
| ballot with the requisite two-thirds rule;
for that rule will be adhered TO. 1t is
| true that such important delegations as Wis
consin, Michigan, and North Carolina have
promised solid, or nearly solid, votes for
| ridden, but, after all, the result will depend
upon the southern delegations. They are
mostly lookers-on up to this time, their
views being we'll expressed by Governor
Walker, OF Virginia.
GOVERNOR WALKERS SPEECH.
Governor Walker said that the delegation
being from the Old Dominion, which had ac-
cepted the results Of the war, and were IN
true unison with the people OF the North,
! had come to st. Louis with the firm dcterml-
nation TO ascertain what man the North pre-
TERED as their standard-bearer for 1876, and
ioin heart and hand in their support OF that
man.
JOHN MoER1sEY.
| Hon. John Morrisey has circulated indus
| triously among the delegations. He was in
yited before the Louisiana delegation this
evening, and addressed them in behalf OF
| Tilden.
SEYMOUR DECLINES.
At meeting OF the New York delegation
this evening letter was read from Hon.
Horatio Seymour declining in the most posi-
tive terms any nomination that might be
rendered him by the Democratic party. lie
confessed that declination appeared rather
hasty, when considering the fact no noml-
nation had been rendered to him, but he de-
| clined thus early in order that no ballot
might be wasted on his name.
NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.
After some preliminary action formal
test-vote was taken with the view OF ascer-
tanning the preference OF the New YORK
delegation, which resulted as follows: Til
den, 50; Seymour, Hendricks, Z; Church,
/; Hoffman, /; Hancock, l: Bayard, l.
The following was then adopted after
much discussion:
Resolved, That the New York delegation
| cast their vote as a unit until by a majority
vote o reconsideration shall be agreed upon.
FLOOD FOR TILDES.
Colonel Easton introduced the following,
which was adopted:
| Resolved, That when by request OF
twenty-five of the delegation for the priyi-
lege OF retiring from the Convention the
motion to reconsider the unit shall be in
order for discussion.
With this flood for Tiden, many rumors
originated calculated to strengthen him, but
which when run down proved to be false.
For instance, it was circulated that Carl
Schurz would speak at the Southern Hotel
tonight for Tiden, but as he is in Penn
sylvauia that cannot be, and his partner
here pronounces the story to be without
| foundation.
REPORTED CONDENSATION.
Another gave it out that a combination
between the supporters OF Tilden and
Hendricks had been effected, the latter to
take the second place.
"Iam an old soldier" said General Manson,
"and never change front in the face OF the
enemy. We shall stand by Governor Hen
bricks to the end. II the Convention noml-
mates Governor Tilden then we shall seek
elsewhere for choice for the second place
on the ticket.
FIRM BUT NOT ROASTING.
The Indiana delegation are firm but are
not Boosting.
The Illinois delegation held long ses-
sion this afternoon, and discussed the tinan-
cial question. The delegates seemed to
be about equally divided between hard and
soft money, but are settled in the conviction
that compromise will be necessary il any
thing is in the platform about the money
question. General John E. McClelland,
who was selected for the Committee on
Resolutions, expressed himself in favor OF
the repeal of the resumption act; but is in
favor also OF specie-payments.
