ST. LOUIS, June ~ A part OF the
Neyada delegation arrived last night.

drlcks. They say they have many
iavorites in aud west Of the noun
tains, but there ses,ns TO be general
preferences for Tilden, he being re-
garded AS Most likely to carry the
democratic party to victory.
All the Delegations from the Pacific
slope seem anxious tos have the Chi
nese emigration question discussed,
and there viii no doubt be an { fort
made u incorporate into the platform
OF the convention plank on this sub
.ject. Individual members desire ap
acknowledgement that the people Of
the Pacific states are right IN their
opposition to Mongolian immigration
A small part of the Ohio delegation
has also arrived. The delegation is
instructed for Allen, but members
here say they would accept Thurman
and perhaps Hendricks, although
they do not consider him a strong
candidate. He could hardly carry
Ohio, or any other thoroughly sound
man and sterling democrat. There
seems to be : very strong objection
to Tllden among the delegates, yet
under esFta Ia eii4 eii4e.4sssstas, they
would no doubt vote for Sim.
Hancock Is considered weak can.
didate and hardly TO be thought Of,
and some of them fear the nomination
of Hendricks would be the precursor
of democratic Waterloo.
Delegates have been arriving from
every state to-day. But few delega-
tons have arrived. Consequently II
is difficult to ascertain the real posi-
tiou that different states will take in
the convention. A prominent dele
gate from Michigan says the delega-
ton is not instructed, but will vote
for the best interests the party seems
70 demand. 1t il claimed, howe yer,
that cighteen Of the twenty-five dele
gates sre for Tilden, aud it is prob
able the state will be united on him.
Most Of the Indiana delegates have
arrived, and they all express pref
erence for Hendricks. They will not
hear to-. any proposition looking to
Gov. Hendricks having the second
place on the ticket with T,lden.
rhree-6fths OF the Pennsylyania del.
egation are for Hendricks, two for
Tilden. The remainder are for Han.
cock, who will support Hendricks in
case Hancock cannot be nominated.
1t 10 now claimed that Illinois will
give twenty seven votes for Hancock,
eleven for Tilden, and four for Davis,
aud the Hendricks men claim that
