CINCINNATI, O., June 21.-The hotels
and boarding houses of Cincinnati have
never before experienced such dificul-
ty in providing for visitors TO the city.
On every hand people are met seeking
for resting place, and narrow cots in
which 1t Is difficult to remain are found
in Offices, corridors and every available
place. The arrival Of Democratic clubs
to-day, for which no previous provision
bad been made, makes the situation
still worse 80 far as comfort is concern
ed, but all difficulties arc encountered
with good humor. At the various ho-
tells to day there was great activity
among the delegates, as each State rep.
resented held caucus for the purpose
of selecting q permanent chairman to
act for the delegation and also to choose
from their body some one to represent
them on the various committees con-
nected with the Organization Of the
Convention.
The National Committee held two
sessions this afternoon, and at the first
meeting agreed to present the name of
Judge George Hoadley, Of Cincinnati,
for temporary chairman of the Convsn-
tion, and Hon. A. A. Prince, of Boston,
for temporary Secretary, with seven
reading clerks.
The contests for seats In the New
York and Massachusetts delegations
we're considered. The regular New
York delegation was headed by Govern
or Robinson aud the Tammsry faction
by Mr. John B. Hsskin. After q full
discussion, 1t was resolved to admit the
delegation headed by Governor Robin
son, with power to participate in the
temporary organization, and also that
the Tammany contestants be admitted
to seats on the floor, without authority
10 participate in the preliminary pro-
ceedings. The same result was arrived
at In the case Of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Tilden's letter has been the top
ic of conversation throughout the day
and many are Of the opinion that the
letter does not mean an absolute with
drawal, bat leaves the matter entirely in
the hands of tho Convention. The gen.
eral impression seems to be to-day that
Bayard and Hancock are gaining
strength among the delegates. Texas
will cast solid vote for Hancock, as
was agreed upon to day at the caucus.
meeting OF its delegates. The Missouri
delegation, this morning, agreed to cast
their vote for Hendricks.
The friends of Mr.. Randall are still
actively at work, and they express
themselves satisfied at the present
state of affairs. The friends Of MIR.
Payne have been moving onward to-
day quite actively. It is said, how
ever, that he has been losing strength,
his loss being in favor of sir. Jswett;
but SO far all calculations are mostly
fancy work. No one can give anything
like an intelligent prognostication as to
who will be the nominee of this Con-
vention. Opinions and speculations
are very much mixed, probably more
so tonight than they were yesterday.
Tie Indiana delegation, at their
meeting to-day, adopted resolutions to
the efreot that the Democracy Of IndI-
ana is uni. for Thomas A. Hendricks,
for President, and that the delegates
will adhere to aud stand ~ Mr.. II. and
oppose the uss Of the name Of any other
citizen from Indiana.
The main thoroughfares Of the city
to-day are thronged with people. Polit-
ical clubs are ont with music and ban
ners, and calling at the headquarters
of the various delegations.
The New York delegation has accept
ed Mr.. Tildep's withdrawal by the fol.
lowing resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted
Resolved, That with a sense of
profound gratitude for bis great service
to the country and to the Democratic
party, and unqualified admiration for
his character and abilities, this delega-
tion has received with deep regret the
impressive declination by Governor Til
den to be candidate for denomination
for President Of the United States.
The delegation held meetings to-day
for organization, and selected the man
whom they will nominets fer positions
on the committees Of the Convention.
At meeting of the Illinois delsga
tton bsld tonight proposition to vote
as unit, FIRST for Seymour and then
for Morrison Of that State, was de-
fsated, and an adjournment of the dele.
CATION had without further action. The
defeat of the proposition is regarded as
an indication that Seymour is weaker,
and Morrison stronger in Illinois than
was at first supposed.
Among ths possible dark horses men.
toned tonight is Col. James 0. Broad
head, of Missouri. He is advocated by
Col. Jos RiolEey and others, Of St.
Louis, and, Is, by actual count, the
twenty-sevsptb candidate mentioned in
connection with the Democratic nomtaa-
tion. They are Of assorted sizes and
all styles.
A test vote tbis morping showed that
the Pennsylvania delegation contains
25 Randall and q Hancock men. The
remainder are divided batween Tildop,
Payne and Bayard.
The National Committee has agreed
upon Senator John W. Stevenson, of
Ken tusky, for permanent Chairman.
The Ohio delegation took important
action. Although nom;ually Thurman
has a msjority, yet, when !. came TO
electing Chairman, Alexander Long,
G Payne man, was chosen by vote OF
"a to 20 for Durbin Ward, who repre-.
santed Thurman and Jsgett. An en-
tire Payne organization Was elected.
