Special Dispatch to The Chicago Iff0un&-
C1ScISxAr1, O., June 19-The historian
will certainly record this as the most nlem-
orable Convention ever held under the direc-
tion Of the Democratic party. It is certainly
the ablest aggregation Of talent. It presents
more candidates, and is without question the
most outspoken and mercenary gathering OF
men that the party has ever called together.
Conscientiously the men here believe they
see the Presidency within their reach; po-
litica1ly they are the stupidest Of asses The
men who may be classed in the Inter line
are Ben Hill, of Georgia; Carter Harrison,
Of Chicago; Sam Randall, OF Penns5l-
vania; Stevenson, Of Kentucky; and the
Tom Hendricks men Of Indiana. At
this writing these are the men who are Civ
ing shape to public opinion, and not one Of
them has an opinion, not one of them fol-
lowing. These men 60 running about from
hotel to hotel, and at every street-c1osstng
and to every crowd have q different set Of
opinions and different candidate Upon
one thing only is the majority agreed, and
that is, that
T11DEy Is OUT OF THE RACE
Said Ben Hill, Of Georgia, to q crowd Of
gazing fellows: sGrant's defeat means no
South. The negroes know no man but
Grant and they can't be rallied to the sup
port of Garfield. As for the South, it is now
in the Union, and it proposes to stay there,
and under Democratic administration will
have and receive all the rights and all the
protection it ever deslred.''
Yesterdays decision Of the Indiana SUI
premo Court has had the only marked effect
noticeable upon the crowd here It has
served to give q spasmodic boom to Hen
bricks.
At noon to-day Gen. John Love had an in
teryiew with John Kelly soliciting the sup
port Of Tammany. Kelly said: We have
no candidate; Mr. Hendricks Is as acceptable
to us as any one Of the many candidates save
Tilden. But what can New York, hard
money State, do with Hendricks, a soft
money man ?" To which Cen Love re-
piled: "We will show you every utter2nce
of Hendricks on tho financial question and
Drove to you that he is not now and never
was greenback man." In pure Saxon Kelly
answered, "Show it, and we will support
Hendricks"
