FACTS AND FANCIEs.


CINCINNATI, jane I9.-There have been many
arrivals to-day and tonight of delegates and
others. Newspaper men to the number of
three hundred tave registered at the local COM
mittee headquarters, and still there are more
coming. The Tennessee and Texas delegations
arrived to.njght, aud were escorted from the
depot by the u Inocrstic club of this city. The
first detachment of the Tammany hall club
arrived near midnight, and took quarters at the
Burnett house, where they have established
headquarters. The hotels are very much
thronged with busy takers.
THE SEYMOUR DECLINATIoN.
Tonight the chief topic of conversation
is Seymour's telegram declining to be a
candidate. 1t is conceded by many
now that his candidacy appears to be out of
the question, and that he could have been
nominated by acclamation, it is argued strongly
by the friends of the Western candidates that
the inevitable result of Seymour's withdrawal
is to compel the nomination of Western man.
On the other hand.
WHAT IS THE POSITION OF TILDEN?
is the absorbing question. The streets are
full 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, and that it has been placed in the keep
ing of several gentlemen, all of whom have
denied its Possession. Judge Hadley, of this
city, who is known TO be a firm friend of
Tilden, says no such letter is in Cincinnati
to his knowledge. The latest rumor
in connection with this matter, is
that the letter is in the hands of W..
@. Whitney, of the New York delegation. Mr.
Whitney being son-in-law of Judge Payne
the inference IS that Tildens strength is to be
transferred to Payne. But Whitney's asso-
ciates deny that the letter is in existence STILL
the story is told with strong assurances of be-
lief, and it has pretty thoroughly permeated
the convention. 1t is observed of this conven-
ton that though there is an equal
UNCERTAINTY AS To TIE CANDIDATE,
there is not SO much bitterness as at Chicago,
but as the time draws near, the lines will be
more strictly drawn, and by Monday the ad-
herents of the several candidates may be we'll
