The movement TO make Hsedricks
the next Democratic caadidate for the

Aeadwsy. 1t is privately declared that
T,lden's friends pledged Hendricks the
next domination tefore be agreed to &C
cept the second place at the St. Louis
Con nventioo; bot Hendricks friends
tbink Tildea is still ia the feld. unless
the next Congress takes steps to seat
aim in Hayes place.
Twsed's Friends Discouraged.
Tweed's friends are much discouraged
by the failure of the authorities 20 &C
cept his evidence against his Ring as
sociates. aud set him free. There IL
etason to believe that the failu was
caused by counter evidences. showing
that mnch of Tweed's profered testi.
mony would be overwhelmed by re-
butting evidence. Also. that he trans
ferred 70 Europe the proceeds of
large amount of property, which is still
within his control, and ought to be
surrendered to the city. from which it
vas plundered. It now appears that
the imputations made against Senator
Woodin were wholly false, but were
truthfully applied to one Wood. and
that Woodiu's name was substituted
only because he vas larger game and
bis destruction woald therefore com-
msnd q larger rate in calculating the
price of Tweed's release. It 10 nov
said privately that Tweed can escape
from his dangerous cri1aioal indictment
only by such liberal cash settlement
of the civil suits as il is believed be
still has the means TO make. Among
futsse probable Developments 10 the
alleged fact that Oakry Halls share of
the Rings spells passed through the
hands Of Peter B. Sweeney's brother
James. now deceased. upon whose
estate fbe Sweeney settlement was
made: also. that about ihree-eights OF
the $40O. 900 paid out OF said estate
was the balance of Halls share remain
ing in Sweeney hands when he died.
Those in position to know say that
Peter B. Sweeney's endorsement has
not been found on a single check or
any other papers which we're suspected
of representing any part of the Rings
financial transaction.
