NATIONAL CONVENTION

~ '"eeIihs OF Tie Ohio delegates tr- |
uay d chairman was elected by anti-Thurman
mel men inns was surprise to the Thurman
men, who expected majority. It ia Thought
that on the first ballot Ohio will cast a solid
vote Tor Thurman. After that the PAYNE
men Will have control; whether this will in
nuehce New York to unite Oh Payne remains
10 oe seen. Iammany men are hop,ug for
something. 1t appears that most of the
southern men are here uncommitted and
mat while their delegates will more largely
vote Tor bayard than any other, yet they have
lnuicateu To north"rn states that they will
support the man that New York, Connecticut.
New Jersey and Indiana unite on as the one
most likely to carry these states The
states ilist named are in caucus Tonight but
no conclusion has yet been reached. What
| ever result, it seems probable that whoever
receives the majority of the votes of these
states will be nominated,
The Illinois delegation held secret caucus
tonight to vote on presidential preferences,
which resulted l6 tor Seymour Is for Nor
rlson, and the rest scattering. A resolution
TO 10. vote as unit for Seymour in the first bal
lot, and thereafter for Morrison, until thought
best to change, is still being discussed
Wisconsin will vote for Seymour.
CINCINNATI, June 2l.-Although much
| Interested canvassins is progressing night,
| there is little excitement and no bitterness
manifested.
The Cincinnati Times is considered good
authority fof the statement that Tilden has
prepared another letter intlmating the cir
! cumstateas under which he would still ac-
| cept nomination. While the statement las
| strong elements OF q probability, it is thought
that this second letter will never see light.
John kelly's denunciation Of Tilden's let
ter of the 18th as whining, begging petition
for the nomination, followed by the rumor of
another mssive to come from him, is asserted
to have been the prompting motive for to-day's
action by the New York delegation formally
| accepting Tildens renunciatiOn as definitely
taking him out Of the canvass. There is no
doubt now, that the rumor was true as tele-
graphed to you at the time of the New York
State convention, at Syracuse, th,t Tildcn
had q letter Of similar character TO present to
that body. 1t is said that he withheld it at
the request of his friends, who accepted his
contemplated withdrawal, but thought it best
to urge postponement until majority of the
! National convention would enable them
bitter to hold and consolidate their organZa-
ton tor the maintenance of their power and
influence here. Tilden would like to have
Payne. Of Ohio, or Speaker Randall to be his
legatee, but the effort to control the Tilten
vote OH either has thus far proved failure
so did the movement attempted to-day, to
unto Newt ersey and Connecticut solidly fol
Payne. Some Of the Connecticut delegates
are strong for English, but have temporarily
yelled in Payaes favor, hoping for help
from the latter in return whenever the race
shall be left to the " dark horses Still
there is TO arrangement fer soldifying, and
J the three states seem 1T present undecided.
If the Tammany men are admitted as q
part Of New York state they will vote fol
Bayard, who is clearly the choice Of more
delegates than any other man yet named
, His friends can show that he would have Z
reasonable probability of carrying New York
and Indiana. The strongest objection urged
against him is the fear that his war recorC
would lose his party a dozen or more con
gressmpn. But his financial views woult
make him strong il. New York, and it IS sug
gestcd that Indiana might be secured by it,
, sisting upon Hen tricks again taking secont
: place Bayard is clearly the first choice il
the south, and If the northern delegate
I could be msde to see that he will be accepta
bic to the northern democracy they wou!(
he likely to so for him Ell massc. lie LA
/ more chance, apparently, Of growing in th
: ballotiug than any other Of the pr"lntlen
, candidates.
Nebraska has voted 10 60 with New York
= Connecticut and New Jersey, which tlre
., states have finally agreed to act together
! They have not, however, discovered the maj
- upon whom they can unite. and that may b
=, left until the preliminary ballot. Indiana re

stands by Hendricks.
i The Thurman men held an indignatlo
n meeting tonight, and adopted resolutio
= recling the action of the state convention
j. and stating that that action was commende
O and endorsed by masses of democrats at tn
l. time. and therefore any departure from th
instructions of the convention would be h'
! trayaI of public confidence.
n EIStINHAIrI. June 22.--The situate
s continues to be very mixed. Bayard at tn
Al hour has the lead, with Payne apparent
n next in order. But whie Bayards snploi
Il ers are in dead earnest, many Of Payne smcn
