The Democratic Convention
ACCEPTANCE OF MR. TILDEN's WITH
DRAWAL.


DRAwAL.
CINCINNATI, June 21.-The New
York delegation has just accepted Mr..
Tilden's withdrawal by the following
resolution:
"Resolred, That with sense Of pro-
found gratitude for his great services to
the country and to the democratic par
ty, and unqualified admiration for his
character and abilities, this delegation
has received with deep regret the i'm
pressive declination by Gov. Tilden 10
be a candidate for denomination for
President of the United States"
THE SENTIMENT FOR BAYARD, ETC.
The sentiments of delegates as they
arrive seem to favor Bayard, but with
no certainty Of his nomination. The
friends of Hendricks rather despair over
his prospects, and Tllden's delegates do
not altogether accept either Payne or
Randall as the legatee Of his claims,
Hancock's friends, who are many, APP
pear 10 be reserving themselves until
their opportunity shall develop. Jewett
has quite following, which is active
and well organized. Fields advocates
are working hard and methodically 10
get up boom for him. Randolph and
Groesback each has many earnest sup
porters.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
= The national committee has agreed
upon Senator John W. Stevenson, Of
Kentucky, for permanent chairman. 1t
agreed 10 admit the contestlng delega-
ties from New York and Massachusetts
to seats until the committee on creden-
tials reported, but only the regular dele
CATION will be entitled to vote. The
Massachusetts delegation held meet
ing tonight, with view of compromis-
ing differences in their State, so as to
admit both delegations. If this is ac-
complished it will save much time to
the convention.
ACTION OF THE OHIO DELEGATION.
The Ohio delegation took important
action. Although Normally Thurman
has a majority, yet when it came 10
electing a, chairman Alex. Long,
Payne man, was chosen by vote Of
a TO 90 for Durbln Ward, who repre-
scented Thurman and JeTett. An en-
tire Payne organization was elected.
sKIRMIsHING.
In Illinois the vote for preference
was taken, neutrality-suspicious. I6,
Morrison IS, Palmer, Davis, Trumbull
and Tilden each receiving one vote.
Nebraska has voted to unite with New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
but no choice of candidate has been
made. Indiana strongly holds of from
joining Ohio, still remaining firm for
Hendrlcks.-At a meeting tonight
resolution by Indiana was adopted
specifically condemning the effort TO put
Mcdonald in the field. The night has
been noisy and busy from delegations
and clubs marching through the streets
with music and banners.

the ticket will be Payne and English.
NUMBER ONE OR NOTHING.
The Indiana delegation have resolved
that under no circumstances shall
Hendricks be put in nomination for
Vice President, and that they will stick
by him to the last for President; 4
HANCOCK AND RANDALL.
Senator Wallace tells me that with
Hancock for the nominee there will be
no doubt of democratic Legislature in
Pennsylvania, and a fine prospect for
carrying the State. He does not think
Speaker Randall should permit his PERI
,onal ambition to interfere with thei
chances for party success. 1t is very
certain that Mr.. Randall is working}
With desperate energy in bis own behalf
