with everybody just now."
THREE HOSTILE CAMPS.

THREE HOSTILE CAMPS.
Dispatches from st. Louis state that the
delegates and political managers who nave
arrived there have, as il by instinct, sepa-
rated into three semi-hostile camps. The
New York delegation viii have Its head
quarters at the Linden, and there will also
be gathered Governor Tilden's friends ana
workers, as well as the anti-Tilden party
from New York. At the Southern Hotel
the Indiana delegation will chiefly congre-
gate, and around it will cluster those from
other States who are instructed to vote 1or
Hendricks or will do so from choice. ONO
will be quartered at the old Planters, ana
the prevailing sentiment there will be abour
equally divided, as the delegation from :, Inc
BUCKEYE State is between Ex-Governor Alien
and Senator Thurman.

ST.. LOUIS, June 2f.-Twenty of the Mich.
| igan delegates are for Tildcn.
The Illinois delegation are placed as fol-
lows: Tilden, %; Davis, 10; Hendricks, 8.
Individual delegates from the southern
States talk pretty freely, but are careful not
to commit their delegations to any particu-
lar opinion or line OF action. Yne Of tnem'
very prominent in Alabama, is for Tilden,
and he believes that most OF the representa-
tive men Of the South prefer that gen.
tleman, though his observations since leay-
ing home have tended to modify some OF his
views on the general situation, and he thinks
it likely that such will bethe case with many
delegates from that section. General Han
cock, he says, has gained largely in the South
lately, and next to Tilden he is the choice OF
southern Democrats. Although the South
has the majority OF the Democratic votes
necessary to elect President, yet they do
not propose to dictate in the least. They
want candidate who will lead them to vic
tory and place the Government i'll the hands
Of the Democracy.
Governor Hendricks, this Alabama gen.
tlcman says, has little strength in the South;
still, il it is thought he is the strongest man
in the North, and can carry New York, and
such other States rs will insure success, the
South will gladly accept him and give him
it's full vote. II the South has any demand
to make. it is that the choice OF the conVen-
ton shall be i man against whose loyalty
to the Federal Government during the late
war not even shadow OF suspicion can
attach.
Other southern delegates express them
selves similar to the above.

The delegations from the Pacific slope are
anxious to have Chinese emigration dis
cusscd by the Convention.
Individual members desire an acknowl-
edgement that the people OF the Pacific
States are right in their opposition to Mon
golian immigration.
a small portion OF the Ohio delegation
have also arrived. The delegation is in
structed for Allen, but members now here
say they would accept Thurman, or per-
haps Hendricks.
The Maine, New Jersey, and Georgia del
egatons have arrived. There have also ar
rived some seventy gentlemen from Arkan-
sas, who will hold meeting here and elect
