rBy Telegraph 81 tss stat.pe!.l
NEW YoRK. July 3d. General Hancock's
letter Of acceptance will lie made public to-
night. 1t is not a long document.
The Herald says The great Democratic
demonstration of Wednesday night was the
general topic Of CONVERSATION among poll
ticians yesterday. Il Was thought among
the Irving Hall adnt rents that Tammany's
failure to take part in the meeting had
greatly injured the Wigwam among the
prominent Democrats who were in attend
ance. 1t had shown these gentlemen that
Tammany was not really in sympathy with
the Democratic party Of the State or coun-
try, and would go a great way to show that
the wigwam was growing more and more
an association OF men bent only on secur-
ing the spells Of local patronage.
1t is proposed by the TammaDyites to
hold a monster meeting In September,
the month, to which all prominent Demo-
cratic leaders in the country will be in
vited to attend.

CHICAGO, July Ex-Governor Smith, of
Wisconsin, has just returned from an ex-
tended tour in California. Oregon, Nevada
and Utah, during which time he was three
days with General Grant. He says that at
an interview he found Grant earnest in his
Republicanism and absolutely confident of
the success of Garfield. All the talk about
his being sore and lukewarm is false. He
appreciated Garfield as one of the fore
most statesmen Of the country, and he is
confident that the business interests of the
country demand the election Of the Re-
publican ticket. OF Hancock. be says he
believed he is. and always was loyal, and
said as much could no be said Of some of
the Generals who were trusted with i'm
portant commands under him in the Army
of the Potomac. In Hancock, however,
he never discovered the least trace of dis
loyalty, either to his commander or the
country.

Physicians " avering.
New YORK, July 29.-To-day was the
most exciting Of DR.. Tanners fast. Some
of the physicians who had been confident
Of his success wayered, and the advisable
ity Of supplying him with nourishment
was discussed. He protested. and declared
his ability to accomplish his task. Those
who have watched him from day to day
could see that Lis face was more pinched
and haggard, and his step feebler. Brandy
and q preparation Of meat juice had been
prepared in case OF emergency, and q sup
ply OF hot water ordered constantly on
hand. Before taking carbolic acid water
in the afternoon, the Doctor sat down in
Q rocking chair and looked at the crowd
around him. then his head gradually sank
forward as though he was overwhelmed
by sleep. He seemed to relax for a mo-
ment, and resting his elbows on his knees,
sat holding his head between his hands, q
picture Of misery. One Of the regular
physicians said to-day that usually the
brain gave way in advance Of death by
starvation. but he said that here the stom-
ach seems going first. II the stomach be-
comes unable to retain water, as seems
likely, death must certainly snsue. In the
evening DIR. Tanner was better, and went
out for a short walk.
DIR. Tanner Improving.
NEW YoRx. July S0.-Dr. Tanner has
greatly improved to-day. At 3:15 this
morning he vomited q small quantity Of
mncuous. He then drank one and a half
ounces Of carbonic acid gas. He sat up
most OF the morning. He walked rs laps
around in the enclosure Of the hall, about
two-thirds OF a mile. in 10 minutes. His
gait was free and steady. This ID his thirty
third day.
