mis- O'Brien. and r. Ii. Gwynup.
The following Is the resolution OF the
New York delegation:
ReSOtued, That it is with sense OF pro-
found gratitude for his great services to the
country and to the Democratic party, and
Unqualified admiration for his character and
abilities, this delegation has received with
deep regret the impressive declination by
Governor Tilden TO be a candidate for re-
nomination for President OF the United
States.
AFTERNOON VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
While there is no such crowd as at Chi
cago during the Republican Convention,
nevertheless the hotels and streets are well
filed with strangers, and evidence OF Keen
Interest is seen on every hand. Illden's
persistent friends DO not regard his letter
as an absolute withdrawal from the canvass,
and would press his name il there appeared
TO be any chance OF success. But outside
OF his pledged supporters there Is evident
everywhere disposition TO accept his de.
clination as definite. The sentiment OF
the delegates as they arrive seems
70 favor Bayard, but with no GER
taiptv Of his nomination. The friends
Of Hendricks rather despair over his pros
meets. and Tilden's delegates do not alto
eetber accent either Payne or Randall as
Ieootee OF his claims. Hancock's friends,
who are many, appear to be reserylng tneni'
selves until their opportunity shall develop
Jewett has quite following. which IS ac'
tive and well organized. Fields advocates
are working hard and methodically to get
up boom for him. Randolph aud Groes-
beck each have many earnest supporters.
The general situation, on The whole, Is SO
mixed that nothing could be more hazard
J Gus or uncertain than any prediction as 10
the final result.
