 CINCINNATI, June 21.-The gossip about
 the hotels to-day is unimportant, most of the
 delegations being engaged in the work of or ganization, while the outsiders are busily 1 hunting for the man who has ticket to the
 convention to spare. The rush to get in and the disappointments promise to be as great l here as at Chicago. The woman suffrage committee are unceasing in their efforts to influence those whom they think will be members of the committee on resolutions to i get them to favor woman suffrage plank in ! the platform: The Territories and the Dis trict of Columbia have prepared an appeal to be allowed to take part in the work of the l convention. Speculation is rife as to who l the nomination. It is not believed that it can be delivered entire to any one, but that ! the members will scatter and vote according to their personal preferences. The with drawal of Tilden and Seymour isregarded by 1 the other candidates as God-send and all of them claim a majority of their votes. Hen | dricks' friends say that he does not propose ! to be the second man on the ticket, and that the necessity of carrying Indiana will insure l his nomination for the first place.
 1 The New York delegation held a meeting 1 this morning at their rooms. Daniel Man ming was appointed chairman and Samuel D. ! Halliday secretary. On motion of Judge Schoonmaker the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved That this delegation feels pro-
 gratitude Mr. Tilden for his great services
 country and to the Democratic party and have qualified admiration for his character and ability. This delegation has read with deep regret the im- pressive declaration of MT. Tiden not be candf-
 date for the nomination and reelection to the Pres dency of the United States.
 The following committee was appointed to present the views of the delegation on the New York contest J. T. Spriggs, John c. Jacobs, A. Schoonmaker, John R. Fellows, Horace w. Keller and Rufus W. Peckham. A committee was appointed to select the
 
 resolutions, etc.
 The Maryland delegation met at their par Tor in the Burnett House this morning and effected an organization by selecting for chairman ex-Governor John l.. Carroll The Wisconsin delegation met and organized and selected as chairman of the delegation Joseph G. Jenkins. The Illinois delegation organized with Melville W. Fuller of Chicago as chairman. The general prefer ence of this delegation is for Hancock. Three or four of the delegation, however, headed by Percy Smith, stick to Tilden first and always, as they do not believe that he is out of the race at all The Ohio delegation, while still solid for Thurman, confess that he is practically out of the range of possibilities, and profess themselves ready to go for any other good man after they have given con- { plimentary vote for their favorite. There are very few among them who regard Payne at all favorably. They have strong leaning for Field. The Indiana men still cling to Hendricks, but his opponents assert that the Governors name will never be presented to l the convention ':Tilden's letter,'' said an Indiana delegate, ''may not have settled the question of Tilden's candidacy, but it has settled Hendricks The end of that logic which would have made necessary endorse ment of Tilden the de iure' President having been reached Hendricks goes out of | the field" What will be done in Tilden's case?" was asked s'We will pass a stalwart  l dricks were elected in 1876, and leave Tilden and Hendricks with that vindication.' 3 The nomination of Thurman will be made by W. D. Hill and seconded by Hon. John McSweeny. ! Isaac Miller, of Cincinnati, has been appointed sergeant-at-arms by the National 1 Committee and has selected his aids. Forty | one of them are Cincinnatians, two from other parts of Ohio, two from New York. | and one each from Vermont, Massachusetts 1 and Iowa. Everything is in great confusion at Music Hall, where the convention is to be held, and large force of carpenters are at 1 work building platforms and tables for the press representatives and secretaries. The decorations are in an incomplete state so far. A mammoth picture of Jackson will be sus- pended in front of the chairman's desk. Great crowds have arrived and there are now 1 6 o'clock) at least twenty street processions in progress The friends of the different candidates have arranged them in order to keep the rank and file in a proper state of enthusiasm. A Hendricks procession of five hundred men and two bands is making tour of the various hotels shouting and cheering for their favorite Indiana is in high feath- CT, and some of the delegation claim that af- ter the third ballot Hendricks will be nomi- mated by exclamation. The Hamilton county club paraded the streets this morning headed by two bands of music. The Henry B. Payne boom is being pushed hard to-day. The start given by the informal confer
  cut delegates yesterday is claimed by his friends certain indication that he is the choice of majority of the Middle States, now that Tilden and Seymour are out of the way, and that the South, whose delegates favor any man who can carry the doubtful States wilIsfa11 into line solid for him. Thur mans friends are working harder for him to- day than at any time since the contest opened and profess great confidence in the result. The New Hampshire delegation met at the Grand Hotel at Il a. m. and effected an or ganization The Worcester, Mass, delega- ton appointed four sub-committees to visit the different delegations and present their claims to seats in the convention
 A letter was read before the Illinois delega- tion from Hon. Charles O'Connor to August Belmont in which the former eulogizes Mir. Bayard. of Delaware, and hopes for his nom- nation Connecticut's chairman is X. E. Burr; vice president of the convention, Cur tis Bacon; credentials, Ralph Wheeler; per- manent organization, O. B.

 The National Democratic Committee met at
 the Grand Hotel this forenoon, ana after con-
 sultation with the executive committee select
 ed Judge George H. Hoadley of this city as
 temporary chairman of the convention, and
 Mayor Prince of Boston as secretary. After
 debate of four hours between the two con-
 testing Massachusetts delegations the Nation
 al Committee decided to admit the Abbott delegation to seats during the temporary or
 eanization of the convention, when the com
 mittee on credentials will take up the dispute for final disposition. The committee took a recess at 4:3o p. m- until p. m., when the
 Tammany and Tilden contest in New. York
 was taken up.
 The Tilden letter provokes comment ac- cordine to the standpoint from which it is seen. The anti-Tilden men say that he is con-
 vinced that the opposition to him has grown so great that he did not dare to risk an effort
 at nomination knowing that he would have been overwhelmingly defeated in the conven- ton, and that if nominated he would have lost New York On the other hand his friends assert that the declination is based entirely on Tilden's health, and that his de- termination not to be candidate is no new one; that he allowed his name to remain in the contest up to this time en- tirely at the solicitation of his friends. s r4-r51l -LxT-.a IL
