didate for the nomination of President of the
| United States"
Friends of Hendricks rather despair Of his
prospects, and Tilden's delegates do not alto
gether accept either Paine or Randall us the
legatee Of his claims.
liancock's friends, who are many, appear
to be reserving themselves until their oppor-
tunity shall have developed.
Jewett has quiet following, while il is
active and we'll organized.
Fields advocates are working hard and
methodically To got up boom for him.
Kendall and Groesbeck each have many
strong supporters.
The general situation on the whole is 80
mixed that nothing could DO more hazardous
\ or uncertain than any prediction as to the
final result.

While there is no such crowd here rs at
Chicago during the Republican convention,
nevertheless the hotels and streets are we'll
filled with strangers, and evidence OF keen
interest Is seen on every hand.
Tidens friends present do not regard his
letter as an absolute withdrawal from the
canvass, and would press his name IT there
appeared TO be any chance Of success; but

radiant everywhere a disposition TO accept
his decination as definite. The sentiment Of
the delegates, ss they arrive, seems TO favor
Bayard, but with no certainty Of his nomi-
nation.
