While 1t is we'll known that the State Con-

large majority Of that delegation is pledged
to Seymour, the work Is being done every
hour to convert delegates into ''bolters, and

member of the National Committee, and it is
almost super6uous to say that Perry keeps

IS false, and If any such letters are being

has entered the canvass, and therefore IS to
be believed when he says that Tilden will
never yield his claims for denomination.
And as for Seymour, it is now common street
talk that the Mayor Sprtgg letter was @Wormed
out of him under false pretenses, and that to
cept nomination. At 10 O'Clock this morn

One Of his propositions is that Illinois, with
her fortv-tWo votes and central position, holds
the key to the situation. Kelly perhaps
means honestly; Whether he does or not,
the illinois and Indiana men are the iappiest
and most confident men in the city; and it
may be said. just here that the Ohio men,
with their three candidates, are the most de-

The chief topic of conversation is Seynour's IS
telegram declining to be q candidate It is
conceded by many, now that his candidacy
appears to be out of the question, that he
could have been nominated by reclamation.
It is argued strongly by the friends Of the
