The Cosmopolitan Hotel is well
filled to-day with delegates to the
Democratic State Convention which
meets tomorrow. A good deal of
connubiating has been going on to-
day, fixing matters for the presiding
officer of the Convention. There
have been named. Col. f. j. Lewis,
| of Tehama, c. I. Ryland, of San
Jose, and Judge Hager, of San Fran
cisco. For Secretary the names most
mentioned are T. j. Shackleford, Sec
retary of the Senate the last two ses-
sions of the Legislature, and Joseph
Beard. From what little has been
said concerning preferences tor head
| ing the national ticket it would seem
that Tilden and Hendricks are the
favorites. Tildcn is by far the most
| favored in San Francisco because it
is certain that he favors hard money.
On the question whether the dele
gates will 90 to st. Louis uninstruc-
ted there seems difference of opin-
ion. Ii is known that large num-
Der of delegates favor sending the
delegates 10 St. Souls without lnstruc-
tions. in accordance with the usual
practice of the California Democracy.
FOR TILpEN AND HARD MONEY.
At the same time Sen ator Murphy,
of Del NoIte, with the view of test
ing the opinion of the Convention on
hard money, intends, if no one else
submits such a proposition, to offer
resolution definitely instructing
the delegates for Tilden and hard
money. As TO tue manner of
electing delegates the general
feeling seems in favor of electing two
from each Congressional district and
four at large, though several have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of elect
ing entirely by congressional dis
tricts. There will he two sets of
delegates from San Diego, Stanis-
laUs. Santa Cruz and san Luis Obs

seats. The names 50 far mcnt!onc
