special Dispatch To the Register.
CINCINNATI, June 22.
This has been another night of noise
and fuss and feathers on the streets, in
the hotel corridors and in the saloons,
but in the rooms Of the committees and
delegations intrigue and bargain has
been rife. The New York delegation
resolved by vote OF three more than a
majority to cast the solid vote OF that
state ior Henry B. Payne on the first
ballot, and an effort was made to induce
Ohio TO disregard all instructions and all
honor and follow suit.
Connecticut Ditto.
Barnum, of Connecticut, informs me
that the majority OF the delegation, and
perhaps the whole OF it, will 60 for
Pavne. Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin
will follow suit. The Payne men count
MP one hundred and fifty votes on the
first ballot, and are greatly encouraged
thereby; but what they lay particular
stress upon is the fact that the delegates
from the acknowledged battle-ground,
New York and Connecticut, are for him.
Those who understood the
True Invardness of the Payne Move
ment
don't believe he will be nominated, or
that his nomination is seriously contem-
plated. They think it means Tilden. \
gentleman who stands on the top round
in the councils of the party told me
last night that an effort was then being
made 10 reconcile Tammany to Tllden,
and that ii this should be successful
this distinguished martyr would be pre-
scented to the Convention with every
confidence in the success OF his noml-
nation. As | telegraphed you last night,
Tudeu is the Most Likely Dark Horse
now prancing around and arching his
proud neck in the stable lot.
Henry A. Tilden, brother Of the Presl-
dent told me this evening that this talk
of Samuel Jones coming back upon the
track was moOnShine, that his decllna-
ton and remuneration was sincere and
complete. Nevertheless, kilograms are
pouring in from every quarter demand
ing his nomination. These dispatches
read enough alike to raise a suspicion
that they are manufactured to order.
J.H. Good Speaks for Thurman.
The Convention will meet at 10 A. NJ
The committees will all probably he

trotting the various candidates will be-
Gin. Thurman will be placed in nOmina-
ton by John McSwceny, OF Wooster,
and his nomination will be seconded by
J. II. Good. OF Wheeling. Considering
the situation, these speeches will partake
of the nature and solemnity OF funeral
dir,ss. As matters stand tonight,
Bayard Is In the Lead,
but cannot attempt to forecast events
for twelve hours, much less Tor twenty
