lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WAsmNGroN, Feb. 23.-Cnciunau was selected
to-day as the place Tor holding the Democratic
National Convention This was the result
of a coalition between those members OF
the National Committee who were already
pledged TO vote for that city and the lllden man
ayers yet the choice made to-day was by no means
1ildeu victory. The representatives OF Ismmany
Hall 90 in with the other opponents of the sage of
Gramercy Park tonight in rejoicing over the result
1T is nobodys victory" said an influential Ohio
Democratic politician this evening. "but he defeat
of Mr. Tilden by the field. In estimation it DIS
poses of Mr.. Tilden's candidacy; becaus' while l
don't believe that the locus of the Convention
helps or hurts any candidate much. the fact
that Tiden could not control so small NUMBER OF
men as compose the Committee cOnvinces me that
he will be utterly unable to get two thirds. or even
Majority OF the votes in the Convention"
One of the interesting features of the contest,
which has been in progress here for the past three
or four days. has been the presence of about half
dozen active and influential TammanN men from
New-York. They have been very industrious, and
have made a deep impression upon representative
Democrats from different parts of the country
that Mr. Tilden if nominated, would certainly
be beaten in New-YOrk.- Several Western members
of the National Committee have said tins evening
that they had no personal or political objections to
the nomination again of Mr.. 1ilden, and could
work and vote for him as zealously in 1880 rs they
did in 1876, but that they have become convinced
since they came to Washington that it wouid be
impossible to elect him, and that they will not
help nominate man who they believe IN advance
would certainly be defeated.
When one of Mr. Tildens supporters declared
this evening that he certainly could carry the
Empire State Southern Democrat who stood by
replied that 1t would have been far wiser for Mr.
Tilden to have demonstrated his ability to carry
New-Yorl last Fall than next when so much more
will be at stake. and when miscalcuation
will be so disastrous TO the party ms
sentiment is very widespread. The committee
assembled to-day in Wizards Hall at II o'clock:
Several resolutions submitted and amended
regarding the time of holding the next Democratic
National Convention. and the resolution. finally
adopted fixed the time as Tuesday, June %. The
roll was then called for the purpose or

ous of presenting claims Tor the holding
