out of the tight. A feeling that he cannot
be elected Is expressed by nine teuths of the
people who have arrived. There are IumOrs
here tonight that Judge Hoadley has let

rumor as yet. /. a. Washington ted the
Times correspondent tonight that he was in
formed by one OF Tilden's warmest friends

j. b. Metcalf, OF the California delegation,
came on with Efiuger, and reports his delega
