IL.
lions arrived late last night and to-day.
Special trains will reach here early to-mor-
row morning with several hundred people
from New York, New England, and other
parts of the country. A train with three
hundred Tammanyites arrived this morning,
and the opponents OF Tilden from New
York are now very numerous. the contest
between the Tildcn and the anti-Tliden men
has been very warm to-day, ana In many
cases quite bitter. The opposition TO nm
on the part OF the Tammany crowd IS very
strong and aggressive, but notwithstanding
this Tilden's friends proclaim that he h'is
gained strength. This is conceded by some
OF his opponents, but when an attempt IS
made to ascertain how many votes ne eau
command in the Convention no one VIII say.
Everybody seems to be at sea ana orlltlhs:
There is really no organization IN favor OF
any candidate.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The currency question Is assuming more
form. and opinion upon that subject DecoM-
ing more pronounced. Promlnent ohio
delegates assert the nomination Of Tilden and
the adoption of his views on the money Ques-
tionHil lose that State by 10000 majority.
and Indianans say that State will give 10000
AGAINST him, while il Hendricks is nomi-
mated he would carry both by a handsome
majority. Kansas delegates say the Demo-
Gratis OF that State will not support Tllden,
and il he is nominated there will be third
ticket put in the field
TIE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
The southern delegates seem to occupy
the same position they did three days ago
They are willing to accept any man who
promises the best chance OF success ut the
polls. Hendricks men profess to be hope
full, but many Of them express diSappolnt-
ment at the decrease OF his strength during
several weeks past. They cannot account
for this change in sentiment, but admit that
in the East and South especially his strength
has very materially diminished. Pcnnsyl-
yanians say the day after their Convention
was held Hendricks had tllree-tifths ma
jority Of their delegates: now he has not
one fifth.
OTHER DELEGATIONS.
Similar reports are made by other eastern
and southern delegations. The Hancock
movement, on the other hand, has developed
greatly during the past two days, ana,
although he has not been regularly taken
I'D, he is i'm pretty general favor. and talked
OF quite extensively rs second choice.
The South seems strongly in his favor
and will probably rally to him If It Is shown
he can be nominated. The Nebraska deleSa-
ton held meeting last night and resolved
to cast the vote as Il unit from first to last
for Tilden.
The New Hampshire delegation are said
to be almost solid for Tiden. Several Michi-
Gan delegates are said TO have deserted
Tildcn. Hendricks is gaining favor with
that delegation.
There are number OF prominent, intlu-
Il n gro
mia, Ohio, Indiana, and other States, in
GLIDING several editors of widely-circulated
papers, who to-day had an informal meet
ing, at which the political situation was
freely discussed.
NEW YORK GERMANS.
1t was stated that in New York Germans
arc for reform, and will be satisfied with
nothing else. They believe Tilden TO be the
embodiment OF this principle. and favor
him. They care little for platforms or
but are not welded to that party, and are
with the man who had showed himself by
every act OF his official life to be reformer
at the head OF 4 party. The German vote,
with limited exceptions, will be cast for that
party.

Features Of the Contest.
ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The Tilden men
have the only well-disciplined organization
here. The friends OF the other candidates
are acting really without leaders, and appa-
rently without concert.
The Delaware delegation waited on the
Maryland delegation tonight, and in view
OF the known feeling OF the delegation to
DIR. Bayard, asked that the vote OF Mary
land be cast solid for him on the first ballot.
The Maryland delegation said they would
take the matter into consideration.
PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION.
All the Pennsylvania delegation are here
but Representative Randall, who is expect
ed tomorrow. Ten OF the delegation are
said to be for Tildcn and the balance for
Hancock.
It is thought that on the first ballot the
candidates will stand in the following order:
Tilden, Hendricks, Hancock, and the rest
scattering.
John Bigefow, OF New York, is extremely
enthusiastic over the prospect OF Tildcn,
and says there cannot be the least question
OF his nomination.
Representative Morrison, OF Illinois, one
OF the delegates at large from that State, is
out for Tilden, and it is claimed that he will
have . considerable following.
HENDRICKS'S POSITION.
The Tilden men say that if Hendricks
declines a nomination for Yice-President it
will put him on the retired list for the bal
ance OF his days, whereas il he accepts, it
will put him in the direct line OF succession
for the presidency. They say that no man
is too biz for the yice-presidency.
Mr.. Bigelow says that with Tilden's cleo
ton long line Of Democratic Presidents
will be inevitable; that it will be demon
strated to the satisfaction of the people that
they have no reactionary policy to fear from
Democratic Administration, and that then
they viii gladly entrust the party with the
reius OF power.
THE PLATFORM.
In regard to the platform it is said by the
leading men that it will give forth no unccr-
tain sound on any OF the issues before the
country. That it will "see the Republicans
and go them one better" on the school and
the currency planks, and that, notwithstand-
ing the tantrumS OF the imitation Democrats
OF the West they will be brought to stand
| on platform satisfactory to the whole coun-
try.
General II. 4. Pryor.
The st. Louis Globe savagely says: Gen.
! cral Il. \. Pryor, OF varied and sensational
history, arrived yesterday. He represents
the highly patriotic and conciliatory element
| for Tilden, but admires Davis, Hendricks.
and Thurman, and thinks that any one OF
them could carry New York.
General Pryor is oaly forty-six wears OF
age, yet for nearly twenty years he has been
