any hODeO Of success. It's apparent, how
ever, that this is hopeless, because the
| great body Of delegates prefer accepting
| the letter as putting Tiiden cut of tht
race, and thus relieving of an OBJ igaiiOn
to support him many who have hitherto
| dole so reluctantly and against their
own judgment. Bayard looks up as tho
abiesL and best among the other csndl
| dates His precedence is conceded by the
best elements in the convention, but as
get there Is no strong reason 10 anticipate
his nomination. Fields supporters are
not numerous apparently, but they make
up in energy what they lack in numbers.
If brass bands and strong assertion could
settle the nomination, Field would have
the lead. As the Case stands he will
likely fall behind the dark horses before
the race Is over. Hendricks friends are
discouraged by the evident purpose of
TIlden's managers TO knife him. On the
other hand, many of Tilden's delegates
declined being delivered TO Payne or to
Randall. Jewett's friends are well or
ganized and active. Randolph and
GrOesbeek have each many earnest sup
porters. Their plan seems 10 be to hold
their nags for the homestretch, when all
the leading starters shall have become
exhausted. The New York delegates
formal acceptance, to-day, Of Iilden's
letter of defamation, finally settles ell
thought of pressing his name. To en-
phssize their actioL an engrossed copy of
their resolutions was ordered handed to
the kentucky delegation, 10 release it
from their pledge for Ii den. The
shrewdest politician here dare not ven
ture an opinion as 10 the outcome, but
Groesbeck occupies now about the posi-
ton that Garfield held at Chicago.
The hot weather has not had the effect
of lessening the ardor of the friends of
and the streets have pre-
sented an animated appearance since IL
o'clock. The Amer!cus and Randall
Clubs of Philadelphia psrsded the streets
with music ana banners, and were soon
afer followed by the Hendricks Club,
Of Indianapolis. The chief topic of con-
Versati0n is the letter of Tilden declining
the use of his name again for the presl-
1ency. While some were disposed to
read in the close of the letter a willing
ness to serve the party, the majority of
the leaders looked upon 1t a final de-
nlination. Hon. Samuel j. Randall and |
Hon. Henry WattersOn took this view. |

for temporary chairman, and Mayor

decided to allow representatives on eacRs

Chicago. 21.-JOu7RGpS Cincinnati;
It is stated that a letter of decllnatlon
from Hendricks is in hand, ready to be
used if deemed advisable. The fact Is,
that John Kelly holds the key to the
situation. He has compelled Seymour
and Tilden to withdraw, and with
democratic administration, Tammany
Hall would be more powerful at WasH-
ington than any democratic leaders or
set of leaders. This convention IS simply
called to ratify the choice of Kelly aud
Tammauy.
