READY TO PLEASE TILDEN.

READY TO PLEASE TILDRN.
Ono thing ia of Importance in considering Paynes
chances-that large proportion of the vote whlcn
in opposed to Tilden would not necessarily be OPP
posed TO O candidate whom Tilden would select In
fact has been stated that many of the antillden
men. especially from the South, were opposed to
b,m merely because they thought he could not be
elected, and would willingly support the man OF bis
choice This is true of the Vermont delegation who
have been counted for Hancock. One Of the dele
gates said yesterday with a significant smile, they
were favorably disposed toward Hancock, but
le could imagine that under certain circumstances
they would vote ioT Payne. 1t is probably true OF

It is tue OF various Southern delegations. Dele
gates from States that arc conceded TO Fleid OF
Blyafd said today thai Payne wOnld be perfectly
acceptable TO them. The Ohio delegation would
undoubtedly stand By Payne w. W. Armstrong
Editor os The Clereapd PIaiRdeaer, says that 26 OF
TIE 4l Ohio delegates are for Payne with vacil-
Ia.ing and Ii divided between Thurman and Jewett.
The delegation votes as n unit. and the only
mint of much doubt seems to be whether Payne
will get the A delegates the first ballot
or NOT One complimentary ballot to Thurman
would be little enough 70 give him, and yet 1t is
difficult TO see how, if Payne is in the field his own
delegates, being friendly to him, can afford to 60
aepinst him. even for one ballot. The Illinois dele
car,on Is good illustration OF the lmpossiblity OF
pakinG general anti-Tilden combination against
Tiidcu's legatce. From IL to Is or the
az delegates are ready. it is SAID, to vote Tor
any Tilden man, except Tilden. Nearly one-half OF
the delegation will vote for Congressman Morrison,
and a. a Chicago Democrat said this morning, the
CITY Government of Chicago will east, through
Mayoi HaTrisos, one vote for AN obscure person

PAYNE MRAsURADLY SECURE.
Enos1gh has been said to show that while Payne's
nomination Will not necessarily result from the
fact that the Tilden influence is at work for him.
no combination of all the sO-called anti-Tilden
clen;cnts can be made against him. The number OF
candidate is another formidable obstacle to q COM
bnatiJn. There are not less than fifteen or sixteen
aud probably at least half dozen of these
have ssrong hopes Payne's friends are counting
upon OBJ or $50 votes on the full-vote system. or
from zig to 125 votes on the halfvoto system, as
soon az 5c first complimentary ballots are over anu
TIE Convention has settled down to actual work.
