Waiting 10 Hear from Seymour

Chicago, I4.-Inter- Oceans Washing
ton: The first instsllment of politician
left for Cincinnati tonight. To-mOrrov
night, if it is reasonably certain Congress
will adjourn, the following day thar
will be q stampede of statesmen. Tht
Field boomers, from appearance, art
supplied from q large barrel, SIS quite s
number of strikers are going to Cincin
natl in special cars and with their ex.
peuses paid. They are very confident
and fear but one man, Seymour. Senator
| Herman, who went 10 get the latter'E
definite reply regarding the use of his
name, is expected back 10 The morning,
as he made the trip 1t the solicitation Of
many democrats who are for Seymour,
| If the latter will accept, much depends
upon the word Senator Herman brings.
KllteT- Ocean s Washington: The best
information is that Seymour will most
emphaticAlly refuse the use Of his name
on account Of his health. Your CORES
pendent has carefully compared the esti-
mates and submits the following as the
possible result of the first ballot at Gin
cinnati: Tilden, 200; Field, $50; Baysrd,
$50; Thurman, rs; Hancock, rs; Hend-
ricks, 20; Morrison, Is.
The statement is positively made to-
night that Tilden will not be candidate.
Washington, 14.-C. IL. Maddax, w.
w. Foote, William P, Frost and r. d.
Stephens, all delegates 10 Cincinnati
arrived here last night. Delegates Carr
aud MGtcslf registered on Saturday.
Governor johnson, Senator Given, Z. j.
Coleman, Harry Thornton and Judge
Cope, also put in an appearance in
Washington yesterday. All of them
have been busiIy engaged to-day ia
scanning the politicsl horizon with the
aid of Washington friends and scquain-
tancss in and out Of Congress, but the
delegation have not yet held a meeting
for an exchange of visws or decision as
to how the unit vote of the states shall
be cast. They all say their desire and
purpose is to try to find out who will be
the best and strongest man to nominate,
and then to vote for his nomination. a
of the delegates appear to be in |
favor Of Judge Fields candidacy, pro-
Vided he shall display sufficient eastern |
strength st Cincinnati to make his nomi- |
ration fair possibility. Gov. johnson
and Senator Given emphatically prefer |
J Judge Field TO any other candidate now
talked Of, and are giving him their ear
nest support. The chances of Senator
Thurman, like those of all other Ohio |
candidates since Garfield was nominated,
have dwindled TO such small dimensions
IN the general opinion of Washington
politicians thst his friends in the CalifOr-
MIA delegation, since their arrival here,
have apparently given up all hope Of
being able to do anything for him. unless
1t be to favor his nomination for the vice
presidency. Judge Field went to New
York by last nights train. Several of
the California delegates will proceed to
the same city, tomorrow.
Utica, 14.-Msyor Harrison, of Chi
cago, Is here to see Horstio Seymour
He finds that the. latter says he is in no
sense candidate, but no man has au-
thority to say he will not accept the nc
mination.
New York, 15.-The HerGld's Wash
ington says of the coming Cincinnsti con-
veDtion: Both the New York delegates
will be admitted and given a vote each.
Tilden, this evening, said he could not
no hsP' busy making denials of state
mems He would only say he Is In the
hands Of his friends.
Herdtd'S San Francisco: The chief
objections to Field are that he is not
sound on the Chinese question, now the
paramount issue In this state, and that
his decisions have always been in favor
of great railroads and other monopolies.
The delegation is here counted 9 for
Tilden, 2 for Thurman and 1 for Field.
The Herald says Judge Field has some
western supporters, on the ground that
his opinions as judge would help the
ticket on the Pacific Coast, and would
secure the favor of Interpretations, but there
is an aversion to taking candidate from
the supreme bench.
The World has had strong leaders for
several days past, urging the manifest
unftness of Tilden for the Cincinnati
nomination. 1t also publishes promi-
nently everything unfayorable to his can
oidacy it can CLEAN from other journals
throughout the country.
