special says: Great excite nent prevailed all
day yesterday; the struggles Of the day cul-
minated In big row IN the corridors OF the
Lindell hotel. DUring tsis outbreak pistols
we're freely drawn, ard the services OF a
large police force were required 10 suppress
the disturbance.
Tine TfIdeu Fight Getting Ritter.
The situation cary this morning. 50 far ~
candidates are concerned, Is very much
ms xed, but IL has a decidedly favorable out
look for Tilden- The night against Tllden IL
FAST becoming bitter one. and shrewd oo-
servers say that unless there IL a compro-
mise between the two factions in Tammany
by Wednesday, when the balloting Will
pro baby begin, there Is every indication OF
a successful combination 10 defeat him. He
has become 50 strong within twenty four
hotrs that even his friends fear this may
prove a source OF weakness. The anti-Til-
Den men, especially those In the New York
light, and are using all kinds OF arguments
10 break him down.
Cox Upset.
Cox was consider ably upset Tor awhile yes
teriay over the election OF Sayler as Speaker
pro tenn. OF the House of Representatives, and
be denounced 10 as shabby trick. Later in
dall, and other members, saying there was
nothing significant In Sayler's election, and
that il was not the result OF any scheme,
and further That Sayler viii vacate the
Speaker's chair when he (Cex) returns, n
the latter desires TO resume the place.
Hancock.
The friends OF Hancock are very enthusi-
astlc, and are loud Ia their assertions that
he Is the coming man. They declare that
Tilden will develop his full strength on the
hrst three or four ballots, and that then a
TO the front. There Is a strong undercurrent
against both TlIden and Hancock.
Other Candidates. d
Bayard Is practically out OF the contest.
Senator Thurman and Judge David Davis
are regarded as very strong negative candi-
dates, and will be held back ia the expecta-
ton that both Tilden and Hancock will fail
and be withdrawn. Hendricks has a great
deal OF strength, but he is generally regarded
as being out OF the race.
Hendricks is regarded as the probable
candidate for Vice President m Tilden is
nominated for the first place, although
Brodhead, OF Missouri,w viii be = strong COM
petitor.
Soft Money Men.
A meeting OF the soft money element was
held last night 10 determine upon a course
OF action. Richard Schell, OF New York,
presided; q states were represented. Tom
Ewing was one of the most prominent
and he spoke out his views freely. After a
very general interchange OF opinions IL was
passage OF resolution calling for the repeal
OF the resumption act. Some OF the speak
ers said that unless this was done the oppo-
nents OF an early resum ption ought % with
draw nom the convention. These sentiments
were heartily applauded.
Hendricks Men More Hopeful.
ST. LOUIS, June 26.-Tue Hendricks men
yesterday. General Manson, who IL work
ing Judiciously for Iucianas favoriJe. has
counted on, and after the first ballot IL is ex-
pected he Will make decided gains. A Hen
bricks band is now parading the streets
mucn 10 the qualification OF crowds OF peo-
pie.
Meanwhile the anti TiIden leaders, who
sre seeking for somebody strolg enough to
carry Ohio, Indiana and New YORK, are
working with grea energy.
The Antf-TfIden Men
A Inference was held in a parlor of the
Southern Hotel last night, wnicn was at
tended by representatives from different
delegations opposed TO Tflden. Speeches
were msde by Roger a. Pryor, John Kelly
and others, which were recei sed with a good
deal OF enthusiasm.
The object OF the meeting was % see what
they can count on. They report that they
are strong enough 10 defeat TildCn-uhey IN
dictated no choice. This meeting has been
responded 10 to-day by WORK on the part OF
Tllden that Will count IL the convention.
The Tiiden Men Confident.
The delegations from Massachusetts and
Wisconsin he'd meetings and agreed 20 cast
the vote OF each delegation solid for Tilden.
This is decidedly an important galn-the
same kind OF work is being done with other
delegations, and the Tilden managers ex-
press the greatest confidence OF ultimate
success, in spite of the efforts OF Tammany.
