CONVENTION GOSSIP,

/
CINCINNATI, June 2l.-The not weather
hasn't had the effect to lessen the ardor Of the
friends of the candidates, and the streets have
| presented an animated appearance since II
| o'clock. The American and Randall clubs OF
| Philadelphia paraded the streets with music
| and banners, and were soon after followed bv
| the Hendricks club of Indiana. The chief
topic of conversation is
THE LETTER OF NIB. TiLDEN,
declining the use of his name again for the
Presidency. While some were disposed to read
in the close of the letter willing less to serve
the party the majority of leaders look upon it
as q final declination. Hon. Samuel j. Randall
and Hon. Henry Watterson took the view of
the latter. Ths New York delegation, as will
be seen by the resolution given below, regard
the letter as expressing sincere desire on the
part of Mr.. Tilden not to be longer considered
candidate. 1t is announced with some au-
thority that the New York delegation will sup
port the name of
HENRY B. PAYNE,
of Ohio, for the Presidency. If this is done,
the Ohio delegation, which is solid for Senator
Thurman, will be in an embarrassing position.
Outside delegates say they will have to leave
their man and go for Payne, but all will not do

hope he may be an acceptable dark horse. The
Kentucky delegation will vote for Bayard as
being now most acceptable. The choice of
Senator Beck is Seymour, but his influence is
likely to be for Bayard. 1t is thought sixteen
of the Tennessee delegates will also vote for
Bayard. Judge Niblock says Indiana has no
second choice, that they are
FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS FOR HENDRICKS.
There is a good deal of enthusiasm in sup
port of his candidacy, but its Importance will
depend largely on the strength that may come
from the South. The Illinois delegation meets
tonight to vote on Presidential choice. There
is wide divergence of opinion among the
delegates. Missouri is even more divided. The
Minnesota delegation reached here this morn
ing in a special car, furnished by the courtesy
of p. 81. Kelly of st. Paul.
BAYARD OR NJ DONALD.
One of the most conspicuous of political
leaders here expressed the opinion that The
contest would finally be narrowed down to
Bayard from the East and Mcdonald from the
West, butkit is difficult to see how this Is to be
brought about when Senator Mcdonald is
among the warmest supporters of Hendricks.
SPEAKER RANDALL
has many warm friends and the contingency
may arise which will give to him part of the
Tilden vote. Western men regard the sup
port of Hancock by part
of Pennsylvania Rs fatal to
RandalPs chances as to the contested seats.
The opinion is expressed that none of the con-
testants will be admitted.
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
The national committee unanimously agreed
to nominate George Hoadley, of Cincinnati, for
temporary chairman, and Maj. Prince, of Bos-
ton for temporary secretary. In the matter
of the contests in Massachusetts and New York
it was decided to allow representatives. on each
side to present their case in speech of half an
hour. The Times announces that another let
ter will be forthcoming from Tilden.

flied admiration for his character and abilities,
