HOPES AND POSSIBILITIES.
CINCINNATI, June 2O.-Hendricks has very
considerable boom. The Indiana delegation
have set themselves about the task of nominat-
ing him, and they meau to do it. Their con-
fidence is little less than mountainous, and
their courage absolutely Grecian. His delega-
tion will not listen to any other name. But
for the apparently insuperable objection enter
tained as to Mr.. Hendricks by the New Workers
and certain other rock rooted, hard money men
from the East, it is possible Mr.. Hendricks
might attain to formidable strength. AS the
matter stands the New York opposition is re-
garded as a crushsr to his hopes.
FIELD
is much talked about. 1t is discov-
cred to-day that the Oteson delegation
has not been for Tilden but for Field Judge
Field. nevertheless has some opponents among
the Pacific delegates, aud his progress in other
directions is slow.
THURMAN
is Just now the subject of much shouting. Tae
Thurman crowd. some hundred strong, came
down from Columbus last night roaring for
their man. They were met at the depot by the
Thurman club OF Cincinnati, and paraded the
streets for some time, with the brass assistance
of band. The opposition to Mr.. Thurman IN
New York is quito as pronounced as to Mr..
Hendricks. and for similar reasons.
BAYARD
has the Delaware delegation, and Randall in
sists that if Tilden is not a candidate
he himself should have the sup
port of Pennsylvania. The really
strong man i'll the background at this stage of
of the fight is
who has developed considerable quiet support
not only in Ohio but in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. Mr.. Jewett's supposed
ability to command the money and influence of
the great railway powers of New York has had
an influence IN his favor among the Eastern
delegates, and glinst him IN the West.
MORRISON
has no strength beyond that with which
he started. Groesbeck is very family men,
toned This is in brief the condition of the
field. The Illinois delegation, left at sea by
Mr.. SeYmour's subsidence, are divided as to
who shall be complimented by their vote.
The choice will probably fall upon
JUDGE DAVIS,
who has plurality over all others. The
eleven Morrison men oppose the proposition to
vote for DaAis. The matter will be settled in
very short order when they meet on Monday
morning. There is a scattering recurrence of
TrumbulPs name from time to time as one of
the possibilities of the convention. Perry
Smith, A. B. Mason, and some others of the
Chicago delegates, are engaged in an effort to
induce the presentation of the name of Cyrus
81. Mccormick for second place on the ticket
in case the party goes East for candidate for
first place. The proposition has not as yet ex-
hibited any symptoms of health. A new name
has appeared among the field, that of
JUDGE PRATT
of Brooklyn, a member of the supreme court
of New York. This is started by Boss Nc
Laughlin, and is believed to be simply for the
purpose of holding ithe Kings county delega-
tion together until it is found advisable to
join some other forces. Mclaughlin repu-
dated Tilden some days ago, and served notice
on him to that effect by publishing the asser-
tion that he could not carry New York.
THE MASSACHUSETTS CASE
promises to bring before the convention the
same question of district representation that
was placed before the Chicago convention in
the Illinois and Kansas cases. The Democratic
party in Massachusetts was split in the begin
Each wing has a complete organization, and
claims to be regular. The fight has been some
what freely advertised and is quite generally
understood. The two branches are known re-
spectively as Butterflies and Hall men. The
Faneuil hall faction, bearing in mind their nu-
merical weakness, excluded from their conven-
tion all but their own sort and appointed q
complete delegation to Cincinnati. The But.
lerites at their convention, selected only the
delegates at large. Following the precedents,
they left the choice of district delegates to the
district conventions severally. The districts
selected their men and gave them credentials.
The Faneuil hall men were somehow led to be-
lieve that the other delegates would not
appear for contest there. They were
surprised, therefore, when they left Boston,
to find the Butterflies, in full strength, occupy
ing car in the same train. The two delega-
tions came all the way together Without any in
terchange of words. They arrived yesterday
morning. Each side devoted the day to eau
cusing and to the registry of VOWS never to give
in. The Faneuil delegates can show their Gre
dentials from the State convention. The other
fellows can show their credentials from the
district conventions. According to the time
honored Hoyle of Massachusetts Democracy,
the Faneuil men, apparently conscious of some
weakness in their side of the matter, have two
or three times offered to divide with the But
lerites, and each delegation in the combined
delegation to have half vote. The Butterflies
declined to entertain this offer, or any other
coming directly from the same source. They
will let their case 90 to the national commit
tee, or the committee on credentials. If either
of these committees choose to change the
question by admitting both delegations with a
half vote each, they will submit. If they are
excluded and the others admitted, it is their
