sentation of New-York has occupied so much OF the
time of the delegates thatthe choice Of the delegates
TO st. Louis from the various districts - not Clearly
defined in many instances. further element
of uncertainty is added to the discussion ny
the fact that in case the ahtl-i ahilany
delegation is admitted some. division must DC
made that will give that delegation its share OF rep
resentation at St. Louis In the Let District James
NJ Oakley will be one Of the delegates, and gilbert
c. White or Frederick s. Dean will probably be the
other In the Vth District the Tammany delegates
are likely to choose Congressman Edwin Ii. Meade
and ex-Congressman VIM. r. Roberts. For the Attn
District Manton Marble and Edward Cooper seem
likely to be chosen, though Hugh ii. Moore
aud Commissioner j. j. ODOnohue are talked
Of For tue XIIth District Clarkson NJ. Potter
is talked of, but is said to be meeting with
some opposition. Assemblyman Charles NJ. Schief-
fen and Casper C. Childs the latter OF whom got a
very bad character in the State Prison investigation
&C 1854 are else discussed. il, the XIlIth District,
cx-Asscmblyman James Mackn OF Duchess
and Robert Andrews Of Columbia spoken
of as likely to be chosen. In tho Orange
and Sullivan District, the XVIII, Senator ). h.
81. John will certainly be sent delegate and there
il some talk of sending Mr.. BlgeOw. In the Albany
District, the XYIth, Daniel Manning Of The Argus
will he one Of the delegates. From the ST. Lawrence
District the XIXth. d. Magone, jr of the Governors
Canal Commission, and William H. Sawyer, who
was urged by his friends for the nomination for
Attorney General last Fall likely to be
selected. Mr.. Magonc's was presented by
his local convention as n candidate for delegate
at-large, but he peremptorily refused to allow
the use Of his name. Some of his friends
however, are still urging it, In the XXth District
ex-Asseub,ynan George T. Benedict Of Schenectady,
4. II. Eo1 10 couptpd and
James Sharahan Of Montgomery will probably be
his colleague In the XXIId District the contest is
chiefly over ex-Lieut.-Gov. Allen G. Beach, whose
friends insist that he is going to st. Louis, and
whose opponents declare that he is not The chances
seem to be that he viii not.
The XXIIId District is badly divided, and little
that is definite can be said OF it, In the XVIII or
Syracuse District the result is somewhat IN doubt,
owing 10 the fact that the Canal Ring carried
several districts. Gov. Tilden's friends however,
carried Cortland and one district Of Onon-
dag. County, and assert that two OF
the delegates from the districts carried
against them will vote with them, thus
giving them out Of the II delegates. They pro-
pose TO send az one of the delegates to ST. Louis,
Alfred Wilkinson a prominent banker and citizen of
Syracuse who was Secretary Of the National Liberal
Republican Committee in 1872, and was before that
a Republican. His name would make vastly bet
fer showing for Syracuse than it has usually made
in conventions Their other candidate is yet to be
chosen by the Cortland County represen
tatiyes, but il is likely to be b. b. Jones.
The candidates of the ant-Iildea delegates are
