Tilden and Seymour Out OF the

in the Lead |
And Matters Considerably Mixed All
Around.
CINCINNATI. June 2l.-A'though much
interested canvassing is progressing to-
night, there Ia little cxcitemens and ND Bit
teIness manifested. The Cincinnati Times
10 considered good authority for the state
msnt that Tiiden has prepared another let
tor intimsting circumstances under which
hs would still accept nomination. While
the statement has strong elements Of pos
sibility, It is thought that this second letter
will never sec the light. John Kelley's de-
nunciatiou Of Tildsn's letter Of the 18th as
," whining, begging petition for the nom-
iuation," followed by the rumor OF another
missive to come from Inn Ia asserted to
have been the prompting motive for to-
days action BY the New York delegation,
formally accepting Tilden's remuneration as
definitely taking him out Of the canvass
There is no doubt now that the rumor VAS
true as telegraphed to you at the time Of
the New York State Convention at SYRIA
teuse, that Tildsn had letter Of similar
character I" present to that body. 1t is
said that he withheld it at the request Of
bis friends. who accepted his onsemplated
withdrawal, but thought = postponement
until the meeting of the National Conven-
tion would enable them better to hold and
consolidate their organization for the main
tenance Of their power and influence here
Tilden would like Payne, Of Ohio, or
Speaker Randall to DO his legatee, but the
effort to control the Tilden vote on either
has thus far proved failure so also did
the movement attempted to-day to unite
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
so'idly for Payne. Some Of the Connecti-
cut delegates are strong for English, but
have temporarily yielded in Payne's favor,
hoping for help from the latter in return
Whenever the race shall be left to the dark
horses. Still no arrangement for solidify-
INK the three States seems at present prob
able. II the Tammapy men are admitted
TO part Of New York State they will vote
for Bayard, who Ia clearly the choice Of
more delegates than any other man yet
named. His friends Can show that he
would have . reasonable probability Of car
rying New York and Indiana. The strong
est objection urged against him is the fear
his war record would lose bis party dozen
or more Congressman, but bis financial
views would make him strong in New
York, and 1t suggested that Indiana might
be secured by insisting upon Hendricks
again taking the second place. Bayard Ii
clearly the first choice in the South, and II
the Southern delegates could be made 10
see that he will be acceptable to the North
eru Democracy they would be likely to 60
for him en- masse. He has more chances
apparently Of growing in the balloting than
any other Of the prominent candidates.
Nebraska has voted to 60 with New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey, which
three States have finally agreed to act to-
gether. They have not, however, discov-
cred the man upon whom they can unite,
and that may be left until the preliminary
ballot. Indiana refuses to come into this
arrangement and stands by Hendricks.
Thurman men held an indignation meet
ing to night and resolution recitiug the
action OF The State Convention and stating
that action Was commended and endorsed
bv the masses OF Democrats at the time,
therefore any departure from the instruc.
tions Of the Convention would be betray-
al Of public confidence. s els.
CINCINNATI, June 22.-Ths situation
continues very mixed. Bayard At this hour
has the lead, with Payne apparently next
in order, but while Bayard's supporters are
In dead earnest. many Of Payne's men in
tho New. York delegation are at heart
against him and ready to drop him az soon
~ they have clear excuse for disreearding
Tilden's wishes. Ti,den and Seymour are
both. considered out Of the way, though .
few friends Of. the latter still persist in
urging his nomination. Fields managers
are working hard to secure . compliments
Try vote for him.. ..........---

National Committee, called the Convention

temporary Chairman. Agreed. VIM. Scott

proach to the Chair was greeted With sp-
plause. Hosdley then proceeded to address
the Committee and the Convention, shank
ing them for their complimentary action in
putting him In the Chair. He plegei him
self to the strictest impartiality in the dis

partizan, he took the ground that tho rep
