INDIANA. Both speeches were to the SAM ~
friendly effe ct that each delegation intended
to push it's candidate by all honornb1e
means, but that there was NO intention ~
making personal warfare upon the other
and that the rivalry is to be Of all times fairr
and friendly.
The Tilden men also have hopes OF The
friendliness Of the Thurman men, who tbev
think will be more apt to make Governor
Tilden their second choice than any other
man. Attempts were put forth late Mon
day night to form q convoeation OF all the
opponents OF Governor Tilden. An in.
formal conference was held, but the Thur.
man men refused to be represented. The
Tilden men look upon this as friendly
sign. The conference came to. nothing, az
was inevitable at this stage Of the canvass.
FEIGHTFUI. THREAT.
The Herald correspondent says one OF the
most dreadful alternatives ever presented 10
free people is laid before delegates here in
printed memorandum, which declares that
Peter Cooper has spoken. That philan-
thropist has said with emphasis that he will
enter the presidential campaign vigorously
unless the Democracy declares for the many
rather than the few, in what it says OF {
finance. Hence" says the memorandum,
"no advocate Of forced resumption can be
elccted"; for il this Convention puts its
candidate on such 4 platform Peter will
simply 90 ahead and be elected. People.
therefore, must choose between paper money
and Peter Cooper in the presidency; but
the people can stand paper money, and thev
know there is limit to endurance.
SUNSET cOx's SUNSET.
The Tribune's correspondent, an obsery-
ant and seemingly impartial man, states that
"the Tilden men assert that the vote by
which Mr.. Watterson was chosen to be tenn
porary chairman instead Of Mr.. Cox was 4
test vote. They say that this is shown BY
the defeat OF Z. o. Perrin, who has been
chosen secretary OF six consecutive Demo-
cratic National Conventions, and would have
been selected on this occasion except for his
opposition to Governor Tilden. J. G..
Walker, OF Iowa, and Mr.. Donovan, OF
Ohio, were chosen secretaries by larger
majority than Mr.. Watterson received, and
Daniel Able, OF St. Louis, was chosen to be
sergeant-at-arms. Great sympathy is ex-
pressed for S. S. Cox. He was placed be-
tween two fires. He did not wish to offend
Governor Tilden and his friends by coming
to st. Louis and working against his nomi-
nation, vet John Kelly would never forgive
him for staying away or for joining the Til
den forces When the Tammany chief is
sued his edct Mr. Cox was obliged to come,
but it was only to defeat and humiliate him.
SUNSET COMPLETELY UPSET.
It really seems that Sunset Cox has been
completely upset in the past few days, for it
is related that upon arriving Mt St Louis,
dusty with travel, he repaired to his room,
washed, changed his clothes, and went out.
Scarcely was he out ere he felt for his wal
let. It was not in his pocket. He had left
it in his room. He went thithcr. 1t was
not to be found. 1t was stolen. There was
Il great rllmpus. The policeman on duty
was called upon, and, though it was. found
that Cox had left his room open, the police
man was sure that, as he had been III there.
the wallet was not stolen, but it must
be in the room. More thorough search was
made, and the wallet found in the clothes
the congressman had taken off. Cox said 10
the policeman, "For Gods sake don't tell
any more. 1t will get into the papers,
That is "why we laugh"
ALEXANDER M'CLURE'S NOTIONS.
Aleck Mcclure, who went to Cincinnati
in favor OF Blaine and to st. Louis in f&yor
of Hancock, teleSraphs that - the southern
delegates are paragOnS OF prudence; they
are, as a rule, uncommitted; their only de-
sire is to succeed, and they are ready TO turn
in for Tilden, Thurman, Bayard, Hendricks,
Davis. Hancock, or even Charles Francis
Adams, TO secure an administration that will
maintain law and order and honest elections
in the reconstructed States.
"The platform will be somewhat embar-
RAISING. Tilden's friends will exhaust their
power to carry the hardest sort OF hard money.
and that will be earnestly resisted by large
proportion, and PROBABLY majority, OF the
Convention. The great battle will be over
q square demand for the repeal OF the re-
act, and the repeal will carry I'm.
less considerations OF expediency prevent
it. An expression. in favor OF non-secta-
rian schools, quite rs pointed rs that OF Gin
cinnati, will be given, and rs the Heather
Chinec has no vote now and is not likely to
vote for generation at least, he Will get
fresh blow from st. Louis, to make honors
easy with Cincinnati"
RAID on THE TIE vIRGISIASS.
The correspondent OF the Baltimore ia
zette, under date OF Monday, said: 1" I he
Virginia delegation was the objective point
on which the opponents OF Tilden concen-
trated most of their efforts. Generals SiO-
cum and Ewing and Dewitt c. Litteioln
addressed the Nirginians for q half hour
each; but they made but little impression.
because Slocum was so indiscrect As to make
all manner OF charges against Governor
Tilden and his friends, OF which he was
forced to admit he knew nothing save by
hearsay."
PERSONAL.
Representative Randall did not go to ST.
Louis, as reported, owing to the backward
condition OF the bills reported from the
Committee on Appropriations, OF which he
has charge.
The Tammanyites are very bitter against
Tilden. John Kelley has refused to shake
hands with Congressman Hewitt, Smith NJ.
Weed, and Mayor Wickham on account OF
their Tilden proclivities.
The Baltimore, Gazette Democratic thus
touches up Pendleton:
= :" Mr.. Pcndleton is not going to st. LOUIS.
Exchange.
"No; and we are glad OF it. Mr.. Pen.
dleton is one OF the men whom the Demo-
cratic party does not need ut ST. Louis or
anywhere else. Let him go to Washington
to meet Belknap."
There are now more Democratic hote'
keepers in st. Louis than there have been
for five hundred years.
Early yesterday morning excitement anu
alarm was occasioned in the rotunda OF the
Lindell Hotel through 4 heated alteration
between member OF the Missouri Lege"-
t,lre and prominent Tammany adnerehI,
who was denouncing Tilden. Pistols 'weis
