action by the New York delegation for
formally accepting TiIden's renuncia-
tion As definitely taking him out OF the
canvass. There 10 no doubt now that
the rumor was true as teiegraphed to
you at the time Of the New York state
convention ut Syracuse that Tilden had
Q letter OF similar character to pre-
sent 10 that body. Il is said that he
withheld IL at the request Of his friends
who accepted his contemplated with
drAwAi. but thought that it was a post
ponement until the meeting OF the na-
tionai convention would enable them
better 10 hold and consolidate their
organization for the maintenance Of
their power and influence. Here Til
den would like Payne. Of Ohio, or
Speaker Randall TO be his legatee, hut
the effort 10 control the Tilden vote on
either has thus far proved failure. SO
also did the movement to-day to unite
New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut for Payne. Some OF the Con-
necticut delegates are strong for Eng
lish. but have temporarily yielded in
Payne's favor. hoping for help from the
latter in return whenever the race
shall be left TO the ''dark horse" still
no arrangement for the solid figuring
OF the three states seems at present
probable. II the Tammany hall men
are admitted TO part Of New York
state they will vote for Bsyard, who Is
clearly the choice Of more delegates
than any other man yet named. His
friends can show that he would have
reasonable probability OF carrying New
York and Indiana. The strongest OBJ
lection urged against him Is the fear
that his war record would lose his party
q dozen or more congressman, but his
financial views would make him strong
In New York and 1t Is suggested that
Indiana might be secured by insisting
upon Hendricks again taking second
place. Bayard Is clearly the first
choice in the south, and IL southern
delegates could be made to see that he
will be acceptable to the northern
democracy they would be likely TO go
for him en- nasse. lie has more chance
apparently Of growing In the balloting
than any other OF the prominent favor
ties, but 1t would be hazardous " his
success Is probable.
Thurman's friends are quietly but
earnestly at work. They have to con-
tend with the widespread conviction
that Ohio is surely u republican state
under Garheld's leadership, and this
argument puts out Of the present view
all the Ohio men unless Groesbeck
should come forward as the dark horse
after long and unsuccessful balloting.
Field seems to make some progress.
Sam b. Smith Is conducting his can
vass which has, however, failed TO con-
solidate the Pacific delegations for him.
They say. they look for small votes on
early ballots, but expect TO get Thur
mans vote when the latter's boom
breaks, and they talk very confidently
without showing figures.
Abram S. Hewitt Is looked upon as
prominent dark horse whenever Payne's
chances become clearly hopeless.
Some OF the Tilden managers to-
night are talking sharply of ex-Gover-
nor Ingersoll, Of Connecticut and are
circulating fattering statistics of his
great popularity during his several sue
cessful state canvasses. The fact is
also significant that Spriggs, OF Utica,
N. Y, to whom Gov. Seymour wrote a
letter recently saying he was thinking
more Of his will and funeral than his
nomination, is again hard at work in
behalf Of Seymour's selection since Til
den passed out Of the way. Mayor
Harrison, Of Chicago, is also laboring
industriously to the same end, and the
Illinois delegation tonight is hot for
Seymour, whose chances are the best
OF any man NAMED, II the convention
can be made to believe that he will nc

The tammany contestants from New
York, and the Butler delegates from
Massachusetts are by the vote OF the
national committee to be admitted to
the floor pending the final action on
contested seats, but are not to particle
pate in the proceedings TO effect an
organization.
