ST. LOUIS, June 21.-Thc political
cauidron is at boiling heat. The crowd
here is less than at Cincinnati, but still
the attendance is the largest ever seen
at a Democratic convention. The con-
test between rival candidates is spirited,
but the only bitterness apparent is be-
tween the Tilden men and those oppos,
cd to him, regardless of prediction in
t tim II n. hi 4e-su Is W. 1T rnr HIS brfitt
If he can hold this his chances of romi-
nation on the second or third ballot are
good. There are significant evidences
that his opponents are discouraged.
Pennsylvania action in resolving to
vote as a unit for Hancock, makes it
positive fact that in the contest he viii
start with nearly 100 votes He is no
longer reserve candidate, and if Til
den fails during three ballots, the sol.
dicr's chances will materially improve.
Hendricks friends are active and un-
dismayed. Although Hendricks friends
now refuse to consider the second place
for him, the probabilities are he will be
nomin atcd Vice President if Tildcn
wins the first place
The 1ilden men are radiantly conf
dent of securing his nomination and
are hurrying proceedings to reach bal
loting before the situation changes.
His opponents on the other hand do not
give up the fight, and still hope to COM
binc for his defeat
The best judgment in review Of the
days work is that Tilden'S strength
has wancd somewhat.
