Possibility of Seymour Still Being Nomi-
| mated.
| ESPECIAL BY TELEGRAPH TO THE aEooRp-usIos.l
! CINCINNATI, June 21st.-The hot weather
1 has not had the effect to lessen the ardor of
the friends of candidates, and the streets
| have presented an animated appearance since
| II o'clock.
The Americus and Randall Clubs, of Phil
adelphia, paraded the streets with music and
banners, and were soon after followed by the
| Hendricks Club, of Indiana.
TILDENs DEcLINATIoN
The chief topic of conversation is the let
ter of Tilden, declining the use of his name
again for the Presidency. While some were
| disposed to read in the close of the letter a
willingness to serve the party, majority of
the leaders looked upon it as a final declina-
ton. Hon. Samuel J. Randall and Hon.
Henry Watterson took this view. The New
York delegation, as viii be seen by the reso-
luton given below, regard the letter as ex-
pressing sincere desire on the part of Mr.
Tilden not to be longer considered candi
| date:
Resolred, That with sense of profound
| gratitude for his great services to the country
and to the Democratic party, and with un-
qualified admiration for his character and
abilities, this delegation has received with
| deem rpOrat the lanlinofin,, k,,
Governor Tilden to be candidate for nom
ination and reelection to the Presidency OF
the United States.
GENERAL ITEMS.
| CHICAGO, June 21st.-The Times thus ed
itorially sums up: The delegates from Cali
fornia are in receipt of many kilograms from
their constituents advising them to withdraw
Justice Fields name.
1t is believed that Governor Stevenson of
Kentucky will be made permanent Chair
man of the Convention.
Sixty-one members of the Randall Associ-
alton of Philadelphia left that city yesterday
for the Convention. They were dressed in
uniform, and carried silk banner on which
was painted an oil portrait of the Speaker
Three thousand people saw them off.
A Hendricks train of ten coaches will
leave Indianapolis to-day for Cincinnati
Seymours declination was great disappoint-
ment to the supporters of the Hoosier
candidate, who were anxious to-nomnate the
New Yorker, reserving the second place for
their man. 1t is first place or nothing with
them now.
The Republicans at Washington rely on
the rebel archives to demolish any Bourbon
who may be nominated. Among other highly
interesting papers in this collection there is
said to be commission as Colonel in the
Confederate service made cut in the name of
Thomas f. Bayard, present Senator from
Delaware. Adjutant General Townshend
has made an investigation of these records q
speciality, and has proof of the weak points
of most of the Democratic statesmen literally
at his finger ends.
SITUATION OF AFFAIRS AT PRESENT.
CINcINATTI, June 21st.-Some of Tilden's
friends point out that his letter is not in its
terms an absolute declination, and they would
push his claims if there was any hope OF sue
cess. 1t is apparent, however, that this is
hopeless, because the great body of delegates
prefer accepting the letter as putting Tilden
out of the race, and thus relieving of
their obligation to support him many who
have hitherto done so reluctantly and against
their own Judgment.
Bayard looms up as the ablest and best
among the other candidates. His precedence
is conceded by the best elements in the Con-
vention, but as yet there is no strong reason
to anticipate his nomination.
Fields supporters are not 50 numerous APP
parently. but they make up in energy and
push what they lack in numbers. If brass
bands and strong assertion could settle the
nomination, Field would have the lead. AS
the case stands he will likely fall behind the
dark horses before the race is over.
Hancocks friends are very quiet, but
watchful, apparently disposed to hold him
back until his opportunity shall have devel-
oped.
Hendricks friends are displrited by the
him.
On the other hand many Tilden delegates
decline being delivered to Payne or Randall.
Jewett's friends are we'll organized and
active.
Randolph and Croesbeck have each many
earnest supporters. Their plan seems to be
to hold their nags for the home stretch, when
all the leading starters shall have become ex-
hausted.
The New Y ork delegations formal accept
ance to-day of Tilden's letter OF declination
finally settles all thought of pressing his
name. To emphasize their action, an en-
crossed copy of their resolution was ordered
handed to the Kentucky delegation, to re-
lease it from its pledge for Tilden.
The shrewdest politician dare not venture
an opinion as to the outcome, but Groesbeck
occupies now about the position that Gar
field held at Chicago.
1t is announced with some authority that
the New York delegation viii present the
name of Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, for the
Presidency. If this is done, the Ohio delega-
tion, which is now solid for Senator Thur
man, will be in an embarrassing position.
The outside delegates say they will have to
leave their man and so TO Payne; but all
will not do so, as .Cewett has friends in the
delegation who hope he may be an acceptable
dark horse"
The Kentucky delegation viii vote for
Bayard, as being now most acceptable. The
choice of Senator Beck is Seymour, but his
influence is likely to be for Bayard, like the
rest OF the Kentuckians. 1t is thought six
teen of the Tennessee delegates will also
vote for Bayard.
Judge Niblack says Indiana has no second
choice. They are first, last and always for
Hendricks. There is coed deal of enthu-
siasm in support of his candidacy, but its
Importance viii depend largely on the
strength that may come from tie South,
