Chicago, 19.-From e source which
Z is positively trustworthy and able to
speak from positive knowledge, it is
learned that ali the stories of Tilden's
withdrawal are absolutely false. He
expects more than half the votes of
the convention on The FIRST ballot, and
will either get the nomination or die
tate the nominee.
Cincinnati, 19.-There have been
many arrivals to-day and tonight OF
delegates and others. Newspaper
men to the number Of 500 have
registered at the local committee
headquarters, and still there are more
coming. TLe Tennessee and Texas
delegation arrived 10 night. The
Thurman Club, of Columbus, 200
stro1g, came in to night. and were
escorted trim the depot by the Demo
cratic Club OF this ciiy. rhe first de
tachment of the Tammany Hsll Club
arrived near midnight. and took quar-
ters at the Barrett House, where they
have established headquarters. The
hotels are very much thrOnged with
busy takers tonight. The Chief
topic OF conversation is Seymour's
telegram declining to be a can
didate. Il is conceded by
many, now that his candidacy sp
pears to be out OF question, that ne
could have been nominated by ac-
clamzbon. 1t Is argued strongly by
the friends OF the western candidates
that the inevitable result OF Seymour's
withdrawal is to compel the nomina-
ton Of western man On the other
band, what is the position of Tilden
is the absorbing question. The streets
are foil of rumors, as the newspapers
have been for day or two, to the
effect that Tilden has prepared q
letter Withdrawing the use Of his
name. l. has been placed in the
keeping CT several gentlemen, all OF
whom have denied its possession.
Judge RCadly, OF this city, VINO
Is known to he a ward friend
OF Tilden, says no such letter Is in
Cincinnati TO his knowledge. The
latest runner IN connection with this
matter Is that the letter is in the
hands Of G. w. Whitney, of the New
YORK delegation. Mr. Whitney,
being son-in.lAw of Judge Payne,
the inference is that Tilden's strength
is TO be transferred to Payne, but
Whitney's associates deny that the
letter is in existence. Still, the story is
told with strong assurance OF belle!
and bes pTetty thoroughly perme4.ed
the convention. 1t is observed Ct Ibis
convention, that though there Is M
equal uncertainty as TO the candidate.
there is not so much bitterness
as at Chicago; bat as the time
draws near, the lines may be
mora strictly drawn and by
Monday the adherants of the several
candidates may be well enough
settled in their O%n minds as TO var
rant an account OF probabilities. As
it Is now, no one ventures On the ca
culatisn OF the strength of the candi'
dates. There are active woi kers here il
interest Of Tilden, Thurman, Field,
Payne, JeWett, Randall, Baysrd,
Hendricks and English.
Mr.. GrOegbeCk IS mentioned 6s pos
