(C0ntiausd from Fourth Pqge.)
Cincinnati, 22.-The committee on
credentials met Immediately after sd-
journment and organized by the
election of J. NJ. B. Young, of
Georgia, as chairman, and 4. Volt.
ner, Of Oregon, Secretary. John Kelly
and his men met with the committee,
but were requested to withdraw. 4
delegate from Arkansas objected to
Smith Weed, of New York, sitting as
q member of the credentials COM
mittee, inssmuch az his own seat-wss
contested. The chairman ruled the
objection cut Of order, as there was
no notice of q contest before the com
mittee. 4 long time was spent Ia
fixing the length Of time for argu-
menl; they finally resolved to give
each side an hour and malt to
present their cases. The committee
then adjourned TO meet tonight.
The weather ia hot and sultry tonight,
but political matters are excited and
q great many stories of combinations
and selling out Of various candidates,
are sfoat. The most positive indica.
lions are that TIIden's friends are
playing sharply all their points for
their candidate. The pretense of
voting for Payne on first ballot is Dc
clared to be g scheme for the de.
struetion of Thurman, to the end that
Tllden may fall heir 10 the strength
of Thurman and Payne, when the
the lstter's nomination appears i'm.
possible, as it is morally certain it
will be, unless present indications
change, although Payne's candidacy
is just nOw more formidable than
most people imagine and than the
rilden men wish it to be.
Nothing new of importance has de-
veloped tonight, except the fact that
Tllden's buresu appears still to be
issuing circulars designed to ursher
some renewed effort to bring his
name successfully before the conyen-
lion. It is stated that numerous
kilograms are coming in tonight
from all parts OF The country, urging
Tilden's nomination, despite his ini-
piled decljnation. Anti-rIlden men,
however, profess to believe these tele-
grams are not spontaneous, but The
result Of pIearranged bureau work
locking to the sudden capture OF the
convention while still divided upon
the multiplicity of candidates. Ran
dal's friends are more hopeful tC-
night, but fail to shOw where be can
get even a majority. Bayard con-
tinues to be the strongest man in the
genuine respect and support of the
delegates. Ali who announce them
selves for him mean business, and
viii hold hard for him ss long as
there is the least chance of success.
English, OF Connecticut, seems to be
growing in strength, tonight, as a
dark horse, to be held in grooming
until his best opportunity Gomez. An
effort Is making 10 unite Pennsylvania
and Connecticut for Randall and
English, and il the solid Peunsyl-
vanIa vote can be brought 10 Randall
be will become formidable.
The Massachusetts co1test having
been settled. last night, by compro-
mise, il the national committee, there
will be no serious trouble Tomorrow
nvar rrnteetod SoRte, except In the
case OF Tammany in New York. The
discussion upon that is intended to be
cut short by the previous question, So
that bAlloting should begin by early
The New York delegation held a
meeting here, this evening, and cast
a ballot as to presidential preferences,
which resulted as follows; Payne, So;
II; English, Il; Bayard, 6;
3; Randall, l. A motion
was made TO declare this ballot fol-
nal, but it was voted down, and a
motion adopted that the New York
delegation present tle name of Payne
and vote as q unit, in accordance with |
the instructions OF tee state oonven-
ton. The other states leading this |
movement are Connecticut, New |
Jersey, Kansas, Nebraska. Michigan,
and West Virginia This,
they count, wall give them the follow
ing Voies: Connecticut, u; Kansas.

New York, 20; Ohio. A; Michigan,
p; Minnesota, 10; West Virgins, 10.
Total, 202. These 202 votes are ex-
pected to bring enough from the
south to Becure Payne's nomination.

strength has fallen of tonight. The
views OF prominent southern men
Ire voiced by Senator Harris, OF
Tennessee. Tha: senator is an ad.
nirer and warm supporter OF Bsyard,
,ut he now doubts the propriety OF
us nomination, lest capital should be
made against the democratic party
Il the north; hence the drift away
rom Bayard and towards the man
elected by New York. This Payne
work is provoking a cOunter-movs,
nent towards Mcdonald, OF Indiana.
{ is urged that the democratic party
anuot afford to risk everything
n the October election in
)hio, and their energies should
e directed towards Indiana, which.
nder the decision OF the Supreme
curt, remains IN the October state,
nd tnat il the east will not come to
LEI drick5 there cannot be the same
elections to Mcdonald; but there are
me who express the opinion that
le Payne movement is only to :

On.
AS regards Tilden's letter Of with I

lccessiul and there is also feeling
lat it is the strategy ofable generals.
