Will stand. None OF the prominent can
didates seem to have the courage to at
tack it. ''If II does stand" said dele
gste. "Tilden is beaten. Nodoubt some
one will lead when the time comes, and
there will be desperate contest.n The

The Louisiana delegation is not yet
full, but those here have organized by
eyecting Governor r G.. Wickliffe chair
man. They express themselves in IA.
vor Of Tilden. The Maine delegation is
now complete, and may be regarded as
solid for 1ilden. The Maryland delega-
ton is also here, and while they have
strong preferences for BsyaTd, they are
willing to vote for any man who can
carry the election.
The North Carolina delegation arrived
last evening. They favor no particular
man. They came to follow, not to lead,
they say, and will support the man who
seems best able to carry the party to
victory. The feeling represents the Sem
timent Of most OF the southern delega-
tiOns.
The Michigan delegation organized
this morning by electing w. T. Weber
chsirman. The New Hampshire dele
CATION elected G. F. Putnam chairman.
Cornell Jarrett, the delegate represent
ipg the Independents of the United
States, publishes addresses in the EUe11-
ing Dispatch advocating compromise
on the financial question. He favOrs
southern man for Vice-President and
post ponement of the financial plank in
The platform until the nomination. Mr..
] srrett represents the Peter Cooper
ticket, and states With authority that
the Cooper ticket will be withdrawn il
the Democrats favor areenbscks.
Several State delegations met and or
ganized this morning, among them the
following:
PennsYlvanis, VIM. A. Wallace chai-
man. The unit question was discussed,
but no definite action taken. A major
ity, however, seem to favor carrying out
the instructions OF their State cOnven-
ton.
California, J. p. Hsgsr chairman.
This delegation will move for an en-
phatic expression on the Chinese ques-
ton. They say they can carry the Pa
cific elope for the Democracy If they can
get from the convention an acknowl-
edgment that their peopls are right on
this subject. No action was taken as to
how this delegation will vote, but it is
understood that msjority Of them are
for Tjlden, and the vote will probably be
cast as unit.
North Carolina, Colonel W. T. Dortch
chsirmsn. Although the mstter was
talked about, no action was taken as to
the vote Of this State.
Oregon, General III. Y. Brown, chair
man. This delegation stands upon the
same ground as the Californ12ns on the
Chinese question.
Alabama, General & w. Pettus chair
man. This delegation Is divided, and
have decided to vote Gs they please.
They refuse TO give any definite infor-
nation as to their preference.
Indiana, J. 7. Williams chairman;
Georgia, James NJ Smith chairman.
A few hours here ara all that is neces-
saTy to satisfy The loo keron that there Ia
no organized eff ut OF great force for any
candidate except Tiden, The audacity
OF his supporters sweeps everything be
fore il, and makes the mention of other
names seem puer.le. This is more prom
inently so than in the caee OF Blaine's
support at Cincinnati, and his friends
claim almost everything and his nomi-
nation on the second ballot with the
requisite twO-thirds, for the two thirds
rule will be adhered to. 1t Is true that
important delegations, such as Wiscon-
siD, Michigan and North Carolina have
promised solid or nearly solid votes for
Tilden, but after eli toe esult will de-
pend on the action of the southern dele
cations. They are mostly lOokG on Up
to this time, their views being well ex-
pressed by Governor Walker, of Vir-
einia General Walker said that the
delegation, being from the Old Do
minion, which had accepted the results
of toe war, and were in true unison with
the people OF the north, had com9 to st.
Louis with the firm determination to
ascertain what man the north preferred
IS their staDdaId-bearer for 1876, and
would join heart aud hand in their sup.
port Of that man.
Hon. John MOrrissey has circulated
iudustriously among these delegations.
He was invited before the louisiana del
egati0n this afternoon, aud addressed
them in behalf If Tilden.
AT meeting OF the New York delega-
ton this afternoon, letter was received
from Hon. HoIatIO Seymour, declining
in the most positive terms any nom-
ination that might be rendered
him by the Democratic party.
He confessed that a declinatiOn ap-
peared rather hasty, when considering g
the fact that no nomination had been
rendered, but had declined thus early in
order that no ballots might be wasted on
his name.
After some preliminary action q for
NAL test vote wss taken with view of
sscertainiBg the preferences of the dele
cation, which resulted as follows: Til
den, So; Seymour, 7; Hendricks, z;
Church, Il Hoffman, /; Hancock, /;
Bsysrd, l.
A resolution was then offered as fol-
