punch notoriety, is another oeiegate AZ
large. He is understood to say thst u Is
inexpedient and unadvisable to express OF

of the Cincinnati Convention assembling.
Mr.. James Barbour, the only othcr ne
adiuster who came over 10 the funuer Non,
yention. IL also non-committal. He declined
TO EXPRESS any personal preference or MS
views as to the candidacy OF the various
aspirants for the presidency ana vlce-presi'
dency. lie says:
al shall 20 TO Cincinnati with the single
view OF rescuing the country from tue pre-.
sent political regime. Twenty years OF
power has brought misery and degradat'on.
A change must now be made or the laclle
descent must uncOntrolably accelerate
Until this Is effected minor issues must DC
postponed"
Mr.. Barbour says this expresses bis opin,
ion OF The duty OF Virginia delegate. ana
the only opinion which ought, in bis estima-
ton, to be expressed prior to full consult
tation with bis colleagues.
General William Terry, the remaining
delegate at large, is cautious about express
ing himself as to preferences. the deiega-
ton being unpledged and virtually instruct
ed to vote for the most available candidate,
he hesitates to say whom he faVors. lie Is
known, however, to bave strong leaninS
to Bayard as first choice. He thinks tue
nomination lies between Bayard, Hancock,
and Field. He will, after consulting WIN
the other members OF the Virginia del"ga-
ton, vote for the most available man, VINO
ever ne may be. He does not think tDat
Seymour can carry New York, and Is utter
" opposed to the nomination OF 1llden,
from the fact that he does not think Tilden
can he elected. He has no objection to any
of the other aspirants named.
FIRST DISTRICT.
A, w. Wallace, delegate to the Cincn-
natl Convention, was found III his Office al
Fredericksburg, and was asked by the Her
0Ld CORRESPONDENT who his preferences were
for the nomination for President and Vice
President. He said that at present lie be-
Iieyed that the strongest ticket the Demo-
cratic party could put in the field would be
Bayard and Hendricks. He thought Sey-
mour or Bavard, with Hendricks on the
ticket for Vice-President, could certainly
be elected.
SECOND DISTRICT.
Colonel Thomas Tabb's personal prefer
ence for the presidential nomination is Bay
ard. who he considered the abest states
man in the country. He would support
Hancock, as would also the rest Of the Vir-
gnia delegation. II it was assured by the
New York dele; cation that Seymour could
the party, they would support
SEYMOUR or Field under like circumstances.
a Herald correspondent called on Mr..
James F. Croker, the other delegate from
the Second district, at his office in Ports
Bayard is bis first choice for Presi-
dent. and il he finds that Bayard can proba-
bly command as many votes in the North
as any other candidate he will be his first
choice for candidate for the presidency.
But beyond this he is for the most available
man. lie declined to give his views as to
the other gentlemen named in connection
with the presidency, except as to Tilden.
He believed the nomination OF MIR. Tilden
would lose TO the party the State Of Vir-
ginia.
THIRD DISTRICT.
Colonel William l.. Royal, delegate from
this city and the metropolitan district OF
is an indefatigable, earnest, and
Field rnan.
Judge T.. G.. Minor is the other delegate
from this district. He entertains views in
sympathy with his colleague, Mr. Royal,
and somewhat similar. However, both Col
onel Royal and himself would vote for the
most available man, and enthusiastically
support the nominees, whoever they might
be.
FIFTH DISTRICT.
Mr.. r. J. Talbot was found in his to-
bacco factory, at Danville, and was asked
by the Herald representative
Who are your personal preferences for
the nomination for President and Vice. Pre-.
sident at Cincnnatiy
Mr.. Talbot: / go TO Cincinnati un-
pledged, and shall vote for the common good
Of my party. Personally, however, Bayard,
OF Delaware, and Field, Of California, for
the first and second places on the ticket,
will be acceptable TO me.
SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Captain James Bumgardner. Jr., could
not make up his mind in advance who he
would vote for, but he was for the most
available man. He went on to say, how
ever, that IL he could name the President
be would say Bavard. Field, in his opinion,
was out OF the contest when he failed to
carry bis own State.
EIGHTH DISTRICT.
Captain A. ID. Payne: / am for the
strongest man, and by " strongest man" |
mean the man who can carry enough
northern electoral votes, together with the
vote from the South, which believe TO be
solid, as 10 elect. This northern vote must
come from the States Of New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, and Connecticut. New
York is sine qua non. We must have
some one who can barmOniZe The inhar-
monious New York Democracy. Ishall not
vote at Cincinnati for the man whom the
from the above States assure us is
the man most likely to have most strength
i'm those States. | shall endeayor not to
