Arthur Cleveland Coke say that MI. Sey'
mour will accept the nomination II IL De
rendered bin. The Missouri people have
the letter, and you VIII Ind that they ana
the Illinois men will act on It."
MFR. Mclaughlin pooh.poohfd the idea
that Seymour would touch nomination,
aud Pryor insisted that 1t would be absurd
TO offer 1t 10 him third time. Judge
Nelson, though a New Yorker, put IN
good word for English. lie was IN Con.
gress with him, and knew OF his votes on all
questions affecting slave property ana tne
solidity al Lincoln's administration. lie
said that EogIish could have had anything
he wished as bis reward, but he refused
everything.
GHOST AT NIGHT.
Henry A. Tilden wanders around Ike
long, lean ghost. He produces The lm-
pressIon OF professional mourncr ut
genuine funeral. lie bankers after Presi-
dent in the family and cannot reconcile hiui-
self TO the Tilden status. 1 presume you
have heard that there Is second Tilden iet-
ter here, explaining under what conditions
The great de j,re might condescend TO be In
duced 10 accent what he is crazy to get; but
don't be alarmed. / really don't see any
hone for the old man. He Is still plotting
and creating discord and worry. but being
diseptbraled, the delegates breathe freely
and most probably will dare act indepen-
IDENTIFY. Meantime the Tilden regime still
wears well, aud its authority Is not yet TO be
sneezed at safely. Wickhsm Is very angry
tonight. He is disposed to regard his fell
low delegates with adherence. lie thinks
he never met so many stubborn fellows IN
all bis life. Down 10 8 O'Clock this eve
ming Bayard and Payne were running neck
and neck, perhaps Payne was trlfic IN the
lead.
SAM. RANDALL's CANVASS.
Setting aside the question OF good taste,
there is no doubt that Randall is making
an active canvass for Randall. His old
opponent Wallace is active too. But Ran
dali really believes he sees ray OF hope,
and he is after it with oil the enthusiasm
OF convert. Physically, Randall is man
who would attract attention in any COM
PAW, and yet be is not a man OF i'm
posing appearance. lie is above medium
height. but slight stOop reduces his
stature 10 the average. He is broad
sbOuIdered and lo0se-limbed. Wearing no
beard, and being always ose-shayed, his
face Is almost smooth as baby's. His eyes
are small, black. and piercing; but this effect
is modified by a habit OF squirting, which
seems to he the result OF trying to conquer
nearuess OF sight without the aid OF glasses.
But his most prominent feature is the
mouth, which, while inclined to smile and
reveal a fine set OF teeth, shuts with snap
and assumes the hrmest sort OF expression
under the impulse Of antagoniSm. The sun
shine Of boyish frankness which usually
dwes upon his countenancc is obscured IN
an instant by cloud as black as thunder.
He is eager, restless, nervous, and sangulne.
II he wins, which he won't, he'll be very
happy. II he fails he'll be respondent and
90 back on the world in general and the De-
mocracy in particular.

SKETCHES OF LEADING DELEGATES.
The hotel corridors are full tonight. and
representative men ale met in every arch
way. Senator Wallace is OF the canny scot,
and shows bis lineage in his face. He Is
quick at perception, and has strong analyt-
zeal power In person he is erect, and
walks with ar elastic step; has reddish
hair and closey-cropped whiskerS. Tie Is
chief OF the Hancock movement, and hates
the Randallites religiously. Aleck Mcclure,
who planted the first euterprlsing neWspa-
per in Philadelphia, is at the st. Nicholas.
He has broad, smiling, gOod-natured face
and handsome blue eye, and l. full OF new
Jokes and good things. He has been re-
earded as a Randall leader, and the
Times printed the first pronounced
Randalrs creed in the campaign. Ma
jor Ben PerIey Poore, the veteran jour
nalist, waddes like duck. He Is a great
relic-hunter, particularly OF the aboriginal
Indians. He tells good story, enjoys Il
good drink, and can give more personal
"reminiscences Of public men than any man
living. Ben. Hill, OF Georgia, looks like a
Methodist itinerant. His head is always
bowed, and when he walks the streets one
lost pocket-boOk. He has lanieln.j awed
face, not over-peasing, but has deep blue
eve. and in conversation is exceedingly
atfable. Senator Joseph +. Brown, his col
league. Of Georgia., sauutcred about the
halls in the Burnett House III his quiet way,
and was more observed than any other man
in the house. His long white beard gives IA
finishing touch to his clear-cut, positive
features.
THE MAN IN THE ALPACA COAT.
Senator Joseph +. Mcdonald, OF Indiana,
the man who is naturally affabe with every
one without losing any OF bis dignity. is
marked by the villainous cut OF his black
alpaca coat. There is an inducement for
Mcdonald which is not dispIessirg to west
ern men. Frank Landers, Democratic can
didate for Governor OF Indiana, displays
his angular form in neat suit OF dark'blue
broadcloth. the whole pile surmounted by a
neatlv.brushed silk hat. He has no light
ning-rod, and seems TO have dirk.horse
hopes. Governor MeEnery, of Lou
isiana, is gentleman OF perhaps
iity, tall and well proportioned, standing
nearly six feet, and weighing probably 1865
TO I75 pounds. His beard, worn upon the
chin and upper lip, is gray, with sandy
tlnge, hair mixed with gray, complexion
LIGHT, and eyes dark and keen. In bearing
and conversation he is easy and agreeable,
with marked absence Of the southern ac-
cent peculiar to the region which he repre-
sents. General Joe Wheeler, OF Alabama,
well known to the country in his fame as a
dashing cavalry leader during the late war,
is small, well pr0portioned man OF per-
hsps f0rty-sye or fifty years, with full
dark beard, well mixed with gray, dark
hair and eyes, small band ard foot. and
pleasant and approachaole. lie dresses in a
