of the enthusiasm of the uniformed 1ildcn men,
The Albany delegation, headed by Daniel Manning
Rnfns w. Peckham and Eli Perry marched
from the cars to tho Grand Hotel Tonight
with n brass band at their head. This band. 1t was
said. had gone to the depot IN Albany without ans
idea of making journey to Cincinnati, but the del
eCatiOn bundled them on the cars and brought them
on. All the way out the delegation ana
the crowd that accompanied them kept hurrahng
and betting in all sincerity, and the anti-IIlde
men who were on the tram were full OF sad c"HNlc-
ton that the old man terrible was still candidate
This conviction was shared by most of the anti
Tilden men already on the ground.
Enough was said in these dispatches last night 10
show that Henry t. Payno was believed. excel
lent authority. to be Tildens second choice. There
is quite as much reason for believing THIS to-day rs
there was Yesterday. In addition 10 the arguments
for PAYNE noted last night new ones are advanced.
Not only is il suggested that IL will be good thing

the Republican majority in the State down as low as
possible, but Mr.. Payncs Ohio friends have some

that he can carry this State against GaTiieId, and
saving that they are ready 10 stake the National
contest Oh this issue. Then the decision of the SUI
