CINCINNATI June 23d-9A M.-The renewed
Tilden boom is still being crowded, and many
persons think it likely to be success. l
don't believe the Convention will brave Tam
many's wrath by adding Tildeu's nomination
to their exclusion from the Convention, as
that would inevitably lose New York.
M'DoNALD's CANDIDACY.
To-day's Cincinnati Enquirer, evidently
alarmed by the strength of the movement
developing in favor OF Senator Joseph E.
Mcdonald of Indiana, editorially urges that
the latter and Bayard should both be with
drawn-Bayard, because of his record in the
civil war issue, which would give the Repub-
icans an opportunity to wave the bloody
shirt, and Mcdonald, because his choice
would be treachery to Hendricks and so
dlspirit his friends as to lose the State. 1t
claims, too, that McDonald's candidacy
would mean weakness everywhere. McDon.
AIDS chances look more promising than Gar
fields did at Chicago, the argument in his be.
half being that his personal popularity at
home, if nominated without his own agency,
will secure the State, which at present is con-
ceded to be very doubtful.
DISSATISFACTION,
There is much dissatisfaction in the New
York delegation over the vote to press
Payne's nomination. As the unit rule pre-
walls, nearly half the delegates are compelled
to vote against their will. Their remon.
strances are likely to be effectual whenever
it is seen that this holding the solid vote for
Payne, with view to transferring it to Til.
den, must fail to nominate the latter. Til
den's influence in the Convention is uumis.
takably strong.
MORRISON AND FIELD.
The Morrison men from Illinois also have
considerable hope to-day that he may be
made the compromise candidate. They urge
that his record is unassailable upon all points.
and thus no reasonable objection cansbe made
to him East or West.
Field has the promise of over 100 votes on
the first ballot. Even if these engagements
are filled, it still looks as though he could
never get majority, and the twothirds rule
is to be adhered to rigidly. A caucus with a
view to its abrogation shows an immense ma
jority in its favor.
THE COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM
CINCINNATI, June 23d.-ln the Committee
on Resolutions, at this mornings meeting.
time was granted the subcommittee to
further digest and prepare platform, and
the Chairman, Hon. Henry Watterson, was
instructed to report to the Convention that
the resolutions were not yet ready. and to
ask for further time on behalf of the COM
mittee, and to ask leave to report at any
time. The sentiment of the committee was
that the Convention should proceed to ballot
for a candidate for President, and that the
committee have its report ready some time
during the day. The opinion was expressed,
also, that the Convention would be able to
adjourn to-day. Members stated that the
length OF time required to prepare a report
was not an indication of inharmony among
members of the committee or of the sub
committee.
ASSEMBLING FOR THE SECOND DAYS WORK
10 oclock-Not 20 delegates are in their
seats, aud the galleries are but two thirds
full. The weather is warm and sultry. 1t
is understood that the Committee on Creden-
tials will report Immediately after a perma-
nent organization is effected. The Platform
Committee are still at work on their resolu-
tions. The usual demonstrations of applause
were made as prominent gentlemen came in,
and when the banners of the Randall and
other political clubs passed up the aisles.
The fact is unmistakable, however, that there
is here much less of this sort of outside
pressure for individual candidates than there
was at Chicago.
THE WOMAN sUFFRAGISTS-3UsIC.
The Womans Suffrage representatives were
honored with applause from the audience,
and took their seats
After a brilliant voluntary on the organ
the military bands played various national
and operatic airs. "'Yankee Doodle alone
seemed to rouse the audience.
CALLED TO oRDER-PRAYER.
CINCINNATI, June 2Sd-The Convention
was called to order at 1910, when all the
delegates appeared to be on hand.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Charles
Taylor, of the Scott-street Methodist Epis-
copal Church. He implored blessing on the
large assembly of representative men from
all parts Of the land that its members might
be imbued with the spirit of lofty patriotism

and with respect to their responsibilities ;
that they might be granted good will, mutual
forbearance, spirit of Cancellation and re-
gard for the views and opinions of each
other; that all bitterness might be sup
pressed; that perfect good will might prevail,
and spirit of self sacrifice, and of yielding
personal preferences to the greatest good of
all concerned that their deliberations might
result in the highest good of the nation, and
that all concerned might be true to them
selves, true to their fellow-men, true to the
principles by which they professsd to be
governed, true to their country and true to
God.
On motion, the reading of the minutes of
yesterday was dispensed with.

that the surviving soldiers of the Mexican
war and their widows and orphans should be
held by Congress on the same footing as SOL.
diers of 1912. Referred to the Platform

business in order was tle report of the Com
