ARRIVAL OF AYTETrLDEN MEN.


ST. LOUIS, June 22.-1ho previous disposition OF
the delegates who have arrived is to ignore the
school question as not properly to be dealt with In
National Convention. An attempt will also be made
TO remand the tariff question to the Congressional
districts, as was done in 1872. The more prominent
among the New-YOrkeTs who have arrived to-day
are John Kelly Augustus Schell, Erastus Corning,
Edgar X. Apgar. John Bigclow, and Alderman
Tuoney Messrs. Kelly, Schell, and Corning have
talked very freely to-day with every one who would
listen to Them and the story they all tell
is the same. They say that the Democracy must
have one of the October States in order
TO succeed in November, and as it is
admitted on all sides that Cow Tilden can carry
neither of them, of course he could not be elected
if nominated. Again they say that in the State OF
New-York itself Gov. TIlden decidedly unpopular
and might be easily beaten by Gov. Hayes. They
admit that most of the Democrats of New-iork
would vote for him if nominated, but add That the
great majority of them wOnld cast votes Tor nm
with wry faces. The anti-Tildcn men make no
formal accusations against the Governor, except his
unropularity which they say is so great that Sena-
for Bayard Senator Thurman, or Gov. hendricks
would poll larger vote in New-Y0rk than he. Gov.
Hendricks, Mr.. Corning says, could carry New-ioik
easily and would be sure also TO get the vote oil
Connecticut aud New-Jersey. The entire California
delegation IL expected TO arrive this evening" anu W
Join the Tlden phalanx.
The local Committee Of Arrangements is pushing
forward the work of preparation for the Convention
with great vIgor. The removal of the furniture
from the Merchants Exchange began this afternoon,
and some of the decorations are already in place.
The hall will Dc the finest ever occupied by Ma
tiona Convention. careful estimate OF its capacity,
made this afternoon, fixes 1t at 5,l3o; but the
greater part of the spectators will be required 10
stand, which will make the work Of preserving
order much greater than otherwise.

in the balloting and come to them. A partisan
Tilden estimate gives him "a Davis, o; Hendricks
A; Hancock 1 not committed, 4. The real rivalry
is between Gov. Tlden aud Judge Davis. Gov.
Tilden's strength with the Germans is very marked.
Judge Daviss support comes mostly from the CEN
trail and southern portions of the State that of Gov.
Hendricks from the counties lying along the lndi-
ana border. Gov. Hendricks friends are hopeful Of
greatly increased vote from Illinois in case Iiden
and Davis should both be finally withdrawn. Col.
w. r. Roberts of New-York was on the ground work
ing against Tiden. Ex-senator Doottle was men
toned as a compromise candidate to be brought for
ward after the Illinois delegation had adhered long
enough to the candidates already named but the
best informed politicians seem to think there is
nothing in the movement.
The only interesting incident of the day was the
attempt of Perry II. Smith of Chicago to read dis
patch from Manton Marble denying the charge of
The Chicago Times that Gov. Tilden reported the
peace platform Of 1864 to the Chicago Convention.
Although the Tden men had the organization, their
opponents were able to prevent the reading OF the
dispatch.

SpMNGFIFLp, ILL.,, June 22.-The Democratic Con-
yenton which met here to-day to elect delegates To
St. Louis was almost wholly without incident. A
meeting of Democratic editors held yesterday, which
demanded the immediate repeal of the Resumption
act and asked that the delegates to St. LOUIS be ~
sructed TO vote against the adoption OF the two-
thirds rule gave rise to expectations that there
would be attempts made TO commit the Convention
on these two points; but that body lodged the
whole question Of platform on the ground that the
St. Louis Convention will meet within five days,
and that another State Convention would be held To
nominate State officers, at which expression oil
opinion might he made. The only reference 10 the
two-thrds rule was resolution offered just az the
| Convention was breaking mp, which was iInnedl'
ately buried in the Committee on Resolutions
1t is somewhat difficult to ascertain the Presdeh-
tial preferences Of the different delegates, as NUM-
Der OF them are evidently uncommitted; but care
full canvass seems to give Gov. Tden II or one-haf
of the delegation The other half is divided between
Judge Davis and Gov. Hendricks, II to the former
and to the latter, 1t is said however that several
of Gov. Tilden's men are by means firm in their
support and that his vote does not really exceed 10,
giving Davis 10 and Hendricks IL. The Davis men
concede substantially this last estimate, but say
that Gov. Tilden's strength will break very early
