THURMAN OUT.

UNEXPECTED DEFEAT IN HIS OWN DELEGATION.
CINCINNATI, 10 P. M, June 2l.-The Presiden-
tial situation is best described by the phrase
''All at sea-" and yet the chances of some of
the more prominent candidates have been re-
duced. An important meeting of the Ohio del
egation, held this afternoon, resulted in sur
prising action. The Thurman men and anti
Thurman came early into collision over the
selection of chairman of the
delegation. Gen. Durbin Ward was
put up to represent the former and
Alex. Long the latter. The vote by ballot
stood 20 for Ward, "a for Long. This result
surprised the Thurman men, who had expected
a majority. The result is, that while on the
first and second ballots the solid vote of Ohio
will be cast for Thurman, after that the Payne
men will have control. Whether this will in
fuence New York to unite on Payne remains to
be seen. The Tammany men are hoping for
something.
THE SOUTHERN MEN.
1t appears that most of the Southern men
are here uncommitted. That while their dele
gates will more largely vote for Bayard than
any other, yet they have indicated to the
Northern States that they will support the man
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indi-
ana unite as the one most likely to carry
in caucus to night, but no conclusion has yet
been reached whatever. 1t seems probable that
whoever receives majority of the votes of
these States viii be the nominee.
CHOICE OF ILLINOIS.
When the Illinois delegation met at o'clock
the doors were closed against outsiders. A
vote was taken on Presidential preference, and
it stood 16 for Seymour, Is for Morrison, the
observation-disclosures auiu
and Trumbull each receiving votes. Mr.
Orebs theRr0Hered resolution pledging the
delegation to vDte as unit on the Fl rst ballot
for Sey nour, and thereafter for Morrison, un-
til such time as the delegation
thought best to change. Carter Harri-
son supported this in a speech. He took
the ground that Mr.. Seymour could not refuse
to serve his party if New York became united
and harmonious in his support and that the
question for them to consider was not one in
volving State pride, but the success of the
party in the whole country. M. Wilke spoke
In support of Morrison, and was followed by
Tandever and McClernand. This discussion is
still going on at this writing, now nearly m i'd.
night.
Wisconsin will vote for Seymour. Nebraska
voted to go with New York, Connecticut and
New Jersey, which three States have finally
agreed to act together. They have not, how
ever, discovered the man upon whom they can
unite, and that may be left until the prelimi-
nary ballot. Indiana refuses to
| come into this arrangement, and
stands faithfully by Hendricks. To-nig ht
| they adopted resolution strongly condemning
those who have taken part in the movement to
push forward Mcdonald as a candidete. The
Ohio Thurmen men held an
INDIGNATION MEETING
tonight, and adopted resolution reciting the
action of the State convention, and
| stating that that action was COM
mended and endorsed by the masses, of
| the Democrats at the time and therefore
| any departure from the instructions of the
convention would be betrayal of public con-
| hdence, treacherous action to a worthy lead
| er and compromise of political honor.
