TO bulldozing. My informant says that
only about onethird OF the New York
delegation will want 10 vote for Tilden
after the third ballot. Barnum has
failed 10 carry Connecticut for Tilden. A
msjority OF the delegates from that State
would favor any Democrat rather than
Tilhen; but Barnum Is begging. He
