NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

NAL NpMMl
Cincinnati, June -. The National com,
mittee last night agreed upon Senator John
w. Stevenson, of Kentucky, for permanent
chairman. 1t agreed to admit the contesting
delegates from New York and Massachusetts
to seats until the committee on credentisl,
reported, but only regular delegations are X
be entitled to vote.
The Massachusetts, delegation held meet
ing with view of compromising tho differ
ences in their state, SO as to admit both dele
cations.
The Ohio delegation took no importan
action, although nominully Thurman has 1
majority.
When it came to electing chairman
Alex Long against A. Paine was choseu--24
to 90. A few votes were cast for DurbiI
Ward who represented Thurman and Jewett
A vote of the committee was taken resulting
Seymour, is; Morrison. IS; Palmer, Davs
Trumbull, Tilden each. Nebraska voted
to unite with New York, Connecticut ant
New Jersey, but no choice of candidate Wal
made.
Indiana strongly holds off from jonin.
Ohio, still remaining firm for Hendricks. A
a meeting of the Indiana delegation resolu
ton was adopted specially condemning the
effort to put Mcdonald in the field.
The night was busy many noisy delega
tons marching through the streets with mu
sic and banners,
NOTHING AS TO NOMINATION..
lla.m.-Up to this time nothing in rela
ton to probable nomination has taken def
mite shape. If New York, New Jersey ant
Connecticut should agree as to a ticket i
looks as if the C INVENTION would really &C
cept their decision, so far as can be gath
cred from the opinions of various delegates
therefore no united action has been agreed
upon.
BAYARD's CHANCES.
Bayard still appears to have tho larges
number of really earnest supporters, bu
there is nothing yet to justify expectation
that he will win.
New York being considered the pivot
there is great anxiety to learn who it
delegation considers the most available
candidate Bayard is evidently tn
strongest in southern affections. but tn,
southern delegates will not press him excep
by following the northern leaders.
TIE FIELD MEN
have secured the promise of many compli
mentary votes on the first ballot, and thi
may have increased their apparent strength
Georgia expected to divide the vote between
Bsyard and Field on the first ballot, bu
Fields managers have not been able to con
solidats the Pacific delegates for him. The,
claim all of Oregon and seven of Califor
MAS twelve votes, but five Nevada delegate
are persistently against Field.
DIVISIONS
in Ohio and Indiana are thought by many l.
leave all the candidates from these states on
of the question. Payne continues apparentl
to be quite strong, and some shrewd observ
ers think if the Tilden men hold all thei
seats in the convention and cast Ney
York's solid vote for Payne, he will
lead Baysrd on the first ballpt. This is, how
ever, doubtful. and the chances on any even
are that Bsyard's friends will stand aru
while Payne's votes will soon dwindle.
PERSEVERANCE OF TALK.
These are opinions only, which are tele
graphed in order to give an idea what tn
preponderance of talk is; but all is at sea
Nobody can give any safe forecast of wha
is to come.
ASSEMBLING.
The convention is rapidly assembling a
II 80, at Music hall, whose beauties hav
been too often described to require any fur
Their notice now. In general appearance, il
rounded, oblong shape is but little large
in length than in breadth. The platform i
in in the western end, while on the opposit,
end and on the northern and southern side
are galleries for spectators.
TIE GALLERIES.
Three galleries are being rapid
occupied by ladies. The main bod
of the hall is assigned to delegate
ard their alternates, whose positions are ind
