with infinite variations upon THESE names.
ALL FOR NEW YORK.
Tn all the figuring with respect to geo.
o,ranbical location, New York and Ohio
come first, IL can be said OF the whole South
and Of much Of the North that all other
considerations are secondary to that OF
availability in the candidate. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary for the Democracy to carry
New York. No plan that does not include
that will be likely to receive much consider
alton in the Convention. But who can carry
New York! Can Tilden? Many OF the best
and most experienced leaders III the party
saw q" MOI because Tilden Is antagonis,ic 10
Kelly. and cannot unite his party Can Sey-
mour? Many say "NO," because he WOULD
not have the friendly support OF Illden, Is
TOO old and infrm, is unwilling. ana Is ia
BILE TO drop dead at any moment OF heart
disease. Can Thurman. with his record on
the money question, Can Field, with his
State-rigbts hobby! Can Bayard, with his
pro. slavery, tlsunion speeches! Can Hen
bricks. Hancock, Morrison, Jowett, or
PAYNE? The answer 10 this question is felt
here TO be the key to the situation. Con-
vince the great mass OF southern and west
ern delegates that any one OF the INDUSTRIOUS
gentlemen named above can guarantee IN
the Democracy the electoral vote OF New
York, and there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing for that man a two-thirds majority
at the very start"
But it Is entirely too early to get aucht
but gossip, and il is always tinged by the
personal feelings and predictions OF the
particular gossip last seen.
The city is one vast discomfort, full Of
furnaces, and the smoke OF its torments
rises continually in the air. The wafer is
coffee isn't.-Herdtd.
Senator Thurman.
COLUMBUS, June 1S.-The conference be-
tween Senator Thurman and the Ohio dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention to-day
was not an imposing affair. Senator'S Thur
man and Pendleton arrived at 0 O'Clock, and
during the day perhaps one third OF the
Ohio delegates assembled here and called on
Senator Thurman. No special programme
had been arranged. and the consultation
was nothing more than quiet talk for the
purpose Of seeing how long the
delegates would stand by Thurman at
Cincinnati. Several gentlemen present.
while ostensiblv for Thurman, are known
to be firmly committed to either Tiden or
Jewett. But they wisely held their peace
and agreed that, as a delegation, they would
stand by Thurman as unit, as long as there
was any reasonable chance OF his nominal
ton. No arrangement was made as to where
the delegation should go when Thurman
was out OF the way.
Your correspondent called at Thurman's
residence tonight and found him closetted
with General George W. Morgan and sew
eral personal friends, enjoying an after
dinner cigar. In answer to my inquiry as to
whether there was anything OF special pub
lie interest in to-day's conference, he said
No, nothing special, | believe. 1t was
simply pleasant chat between Democratic
friends, and for arranging some details re-
lative to the Convention. You can say,
however, il you want to do so, that it was
satisfactory to myself. Yes, it
was very pleasant meeting, and all |
expected or wanted 1t should be.
