The St Louis Convention 10 now the absorbing topic
Of conversation those who have just returned
from Cincinnati Tho republican ticket IL acknowledged
to b strong by the democrats but they think 1t does
not embarrass them seriously because It does not
pol them to any specific nomination. The Thurman
men are encouraged to renewed exertons for him by
the nomination OF Governor Hayes and 10 said that
attempt will be made Wednesday In tho Bank
Ing and Currency Committee to adopt some
measure looking to . repeal Of the Resumption
sct, NJ. Cox and Mr. Payne thinking that the rcpeaI
would help Thurman Hendricks to the nomination.
But the hard money democrats not alarmed this
movement They say that If the Resumption act is
repealed by the House, 1t be by union Of rcpub-
lcan with democratic votes and in that case 1t will
FAR put the republicans In the wrong make the
nomination OF two hard money democrats possible and
advisable at st. Louis
IT is very probable that the st. Louis Convention will
rcadop the currency plank of the Cincinnati Conven
ton. They cannot do less without going over na
lion and soft money and they not inclined to
20 further than the republicans because they say
would do no good II they adopt the Cincinnati
rency resolution, It would that tho question could
hardly enter into the canvass unless the democrats
probable.
:he republicans consider the resolution concerning
the granting Of money religious corporations the
most telling part Of their PLATFORM but that also may
be adopted At st. Louis, for there il why It
should not be- and this would rob the republicans Of
their strongest thunder.
Al the day for the Convention draws near candidates
become moro numerous General Hancock has q
great many friends here and q strong effort will be
made In his favor at St. Louis. There Is no doubt,
however that Governor Seymour is really the strong
est candidate at St Louis and this from the fact that
there general that he would carry more
States than any other man named Western and
Eastern and tho adherents Of almost all
the candidates freely acknowledge this in private
conversation Tho nomination OF Governor Hayes was
at first thought to strengthen Governor Tilden's
chances but further consideration here it
have also strengthened the hopes OF those who would
like to nominate some Western like Judge Davis
General Palmer The have before them two
plans Of campaign; involves the surrender OF the
entire West to the republicans including COURSE tho
October States and concentration of all their
on che South, New York and New Jersey. The other,
~ which Western Congressman desrous OF reelection
naturally turn would carry the struggle along the
whole line and aim to carry Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
even at the risk OF losing New York The argument
for this plan, aside from personal considerations, Is
that In that tho party could be reproached with
sectionalIsm as II should carry of the larger
Western States Il would have clam equa! with
the republicans OF being unsectional division There
Is still third way. II the ST Louis Convention should
nominate hard money ticket, with Eastern candi-

ern nfationiss might, in desperation set up indc-
pendent organization, with some like Hendricks
Allen the ticket and fight both parties the West

might in tho West, It is thought by some, draw of
enough from the republican ticket to throw the

sections Of tho party which hostile to each other,
and the general impression that the imitation demo-
would rather help the republicans their own
