II think the delegation will be an un-
pledged one. 1 received to-day letter
from distinguished citizen of Lexington,
in which, he said. 'Watterson will fail to
control the action of the Convention. I am
confident that there will be no instructions
The letter is from a neighborhood where
Tilden's friends are men of great influence
such men as General Preston, Colonel
Breckenridge and Colonel Tom Bush 1t
may be considered to have some signif-
canoe. I think our delegation will 20 to
Cincinnati prepared to support the man
who shall seem 10 be the most available as
a candidate 1t said that Tilden has more
supporters in the State than any other
man. He has earnest, energetic supporters
but his supporters are by no means ma
jority of the Democrats. II Seymour
cnuld be induced to accept, he would be by
all means the most available and the best
candidate"

patches, in which tile statement was made
that he had promised to urge uponGov
Cornell, of New York, Communication of
the sentence OF Chastine Cox, and inquired
of him as toits truth. Mr.. Douglass read
the item carefully. and then, with marked
indignation replied:
't is difficult to conceive OF a statement
so entirely untrue as this is. l have never
been asked nor have ever consented to
act in sucn capacity. l may say further
that If there was ever cold bloOded mur-
derer, man WHO richly deserved to be
hung Cox is that man,
"Have you ever had any connection with
the caseT
mo. sir; none whatever. I have never
said, thought or felt like taking any part
in it."
"What. neverT'
mo, never"
"You think the law should take its
courseT'
Certainly. He has committed deed
which deserves the fullest extent OF the
law, and it should be promptly given"
"His color, then, had nothing to do with
the matter?"
mot in the least. 1t does not make any
difference what his color is. All ask for
the colored man is fair play. Let him
alone"
