also may be adopted ct st. Louis, for
there is no reason why it should not be,
and this would rob the Republicans OF
| their strongest thunder.
/. AS the dsy for the convention draws
near, candidates become more numer-
ous. General Hancock has a great
many fliends here, and q strong effort
will be made in his favor at st. Lonls.
There Is 20 doubt, however, that Gov
ernor Seymour is really the strongest
candidate at st. Louis, and this from
the fact that there is a general convie'
ton that he would carry more States
than any other man named Western
and cas- eTn nen and the sdherents OF
almost all the candidates freely &C.
knowledge this in privste conversation.
The nomination of Governor Hayes
was st first thought to strengthen Gov
ernoT Tilden's chances, but on further
consideration here, it seems to have also
strengthened the hopes Of those who
would like to nominate some western
man like JudPe Davis or General
Palmer. The Democrats have before
them tao plans of campaign; ore in
wolves the surrender of the entire west
10 the Repu Olicans, including, Of course,
the October States, and the concentTR~
ton of ali their forces on the south,
New York and New Jersey. The other,
to which western copgres5men desirOus
of reelection naturally turn, would
carry on the struggle along the whole
line and aim to carry Ohio, In-
diana and Illinois, even at the risk
off losing New York. The argument |
for this plap, aside from personal con.
sideratiOrs, is that in that case the party |
could not be reproached with sectional |
ism as, il it should carry some of the |
larger western States, it would have |
claim equal with the Republicans Of
being au unsectionsl division. There is |
still third way. II the st. Louis con-
vention should nominate harC-money
ticket, with an eastern candidate at the
head, it is thought possible that the
western infistionists might, in despers-
ti0D, set up an independent oTganiza.
tion, with some one like Hendricks or
Allen on the ticket, and fight both par
ties III the west. In that case, even if
the east and south did not succeed in
electiDg q Democrat, the opposition
might, in the west, it is
thought by some, Oraw off enough from
The Republican ticket to throw the elec-
ton into the house. But this plan does
not find much favor. It would need
friendly co operation between sections OF
the party which are hostile to each
other, aud the general impression is that
he initiation Democrats would rather
lelp the Republicans than their own
,ide.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The St.

typiC of conversation, even to those who
have just returned from Cincinnati. The
REPUBLICAN ticket is acknowledged to be
strong by the Democrats, but they think
II does lot embarTass them seriously be-
cause it does not compel them TO any
specific nomination. The Thurman men
are encouraged 10 renewed exertiOns for
him by the nomination of Governor
Hayes, and It is said that an attempt
will he made on Wednesday in the
banking and currency committee to
adopt some measure looking TO a repeal
of the resumption act, Mr.. Cox and Mr..
Payne thinking that the repeal would
hep Thurman or Hendricks to the NOM
instion. Bat the hard money Democrats
are not alarmed at this movement.
They cay that if the resumption act is
repealed by the house, it must be by a
union Of Republican with Democratic
votes, and il that case, il will so far put
the Republicans in the wrong as to make
the nomination Of two hard-moDsy
Democrats possible and advisable at 81.
