 At Cincinnati-Candidat Dropping Off, Tflden and Seymour Both Withdrawn 1 -TfIden's Letter Read to the New York DeIegation-Seynou Prefers a Funeral to a Honlination-The Boom for Payne-A General Review of the Sit- uation.
 CINCINNATI, June 2O.-Sunday has been a busy day with delegates, visitors, managers and hangers-on. A few of the leading men attended church. Many took in the suburbs and hilltops and others, owing to the heat, remained at the hotels watching the arrivals and discussing the situation. The days work has wrought but few changes, matters stand ing very much tonight as they did last night or the night before. The fact that Tilden is out of the race is now settled. The most defin- ite information comes from Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who this morning told MT. Beckhow, of Dayton, that he had seen and read the letter of decli- nation from Mir. Tilden. The letter as de- scribed by him is the same as mentioned by a Western member of the National Committee dI1u I6lCIIOu tO 4uAAy LII GiCSO O1SpdGCu0S T H. day night last The New York men have been busy to-day discussing the effects of Payne's success on New York politics, and the position of most of them will be guided by what they believe is from this standpoint. The fact that it will make his son-in-law, William c. Whit ney, master of politics and dispenser of places in New York should Payne be nominated and elected is what confuses the New York politi-
 clans in considering whether or not to wheel
 in with Mir. Paynes boomers. Chairman Manning called another meeting of the anti Tammany delegation tonight, and the Payne Whitney-New York politics and the presiden- tial booms are under warm discussion. The Payne men urge that if New York can be in duced to support Payne with any degree of unanimity Connecticut will fol- low solid1y for him. large part of Ohio will wheel in and several Western ditional strength will secure his nomina- tion. Most of the Southern leaders, when asked whom they want nominated answered that they favor man who can carry the doubtful Northern States. Payne's friends believe that if New York and Connecticut, the two States most frequently mentioned as those which must be carried, show their choice to be Payne, the large proportion just referred to will decide that he is the man they are looking for and will rally to his standard The class of delegates who have no choice except @ man who can carry the doubtful States is largely increased by the withdrawal of Seymour, and the Payne men hope to inherit much of Seymour's strength as well as of Tilden's. To-day there has been considerable talk of Seymour's candidacy One thing is that Seymour will not insist on declination after he learns that Tilden has withdrawn. Those who put forward this theory assert that Seymour's real reason for declining was that on account of former po- litica1 and personal relations he would not
 antagonize Tilden; but this objection being overcome by Tilden being out of the race, his
 friends, who are anxious to have him run,
 will be able to persuade him to make a race.
 As one of the stories current 1t may be men, toned that Southern member of the Ma tional Committee stated to the agent of the
 National Associated Press that it was true that TiIden had written a letter declining to enter the race for the nomination, and that he pro- posed that Payne, of Ohio, should have the strength that otherwise would be given to him, that Randall objected to this disposal of Tilden's strength, and asked that the presentation of the letter be delayed, and in consequence of his influence the letter has thus far been kept from the public.
 The Tammany Hall train arrived at D. m with 500 delegates and their friends. The cars, were decorated with banners. A crowd on several thousand were at the depot await l ing their arrival. The Hamilton County Democratic Club, with a band of thirty pieces, received and escorted them to their quarters All formed in line four deep, I under Marshal Thomas F. Brennan. Graf fula's band accompanied the delegates on the ] trip, and headed the procession, which marched up to and through Fourth street to ! the Burnett House amid the cheering of the 1 crowds along the route. Kelly, Schell, | the saehems with the Democratic leaders oc- cupied a number of carriages in advance of | the procession. At the Burnett House the | delegates drew up in a line and saluted the l escorting club and then marched to the Third street side of the house and into the hotel. 1 An informal consultation of New York, 1 Connecticut and New Jersey delegates was held this afternoon, and it was agreed that 1 in view of the retirements that these States should unite and present the name of Henry l B. Payne of Ohio, as the choice of these l States, which it is conceded the candidate must carry to insure success. Connecticut l wavered in favor of James B. English, her own favorite son, but finally concluded that Payne would meet the case. All of the New York l delegation did not sanction the arrangement, and some who are not party to 1t threaten ! a lively kick. Indiana, as one of the doubt | full States, was invited to participate, but de l clined, announcing that she had already de- l cided that Hendricks was the man with whom ] they could achieve success, and returned the l compliment by inviting New York, New Jer- 1 sey and Connecticut to fall in with the Hen | dricks boom-

 ] mour to personal friend and advocate of his | nomination:
 UTICA N. Y., June 19 1SSO am annoyed by the statements of men | who talk with me that I will accept, if nom. | mated. I suppose it is in bad taste to de | cline so much when there is no possibility ot my nomination, but it irritates me to be 1 talked about for an office while am thinking I about my will and my funeral If I had to l choose between funeral and nomination, ! would take the first. The letter to MT. Spriggs, although denied, is genuine, as l ! thought my name might be brought before ! the convention.
 The Tilden letter provokes comment &C., \ cording to the standpoint from which it is
