ResolUed, That with sense pro-
found gratitude for his great services
to the country and TO the Democratic
party and unqualified admiration for
his character and abilities, this delega-
ton has received, with deep regret,
the imposed declinstion by Governor
Tilden to be candidate for nomination
of President of the United States.
Friends of Hendricks rather de-
spair over his prospects and Tiiden's
delegates do not altogether accept
either Payne or Randall as legatee of
bis claims. Hsncock's friends, who
sre many, appear to be reserving them
selves until their opportunity shall be
developed. Jswett has quite fol.
lowing, while they are active and well
organized. Fields ADVOCATES work
hard and methodically to get up q
boom for him. Randolph and Groes-
beck each has many strong supporters.
The general situation on the whole is
so mixed that nothing could be more
hazardous or uncertain than any pre-
diction as TO the final result.

gard his letter as an absolute withdraw
al from the canvass, and would press
his name if there appeared to be any
chance of success, but outside of his
pledged supporters there is radiant ev-
cry where q disposition to accept his
| defamation as definite,
The sentiment of the delegates as
they arrive seems to favor Bsyard, but
with no certainty of his nomination.
