tINUNNATTI, June 24.-If there is any
IL horse fairly in til" race this morning it is
glish, of Connecticut. An earnest though
'etly conducted canvass was made last
ht to get up a combination in his favor
which to check the Hancock boom, but
be Is liz public evidence yet that it was
$%Cesstul, although it may be that his man
&rs have taken a leaf from Hancock's book
the matter of silent discretion. On every
ID we hear that the southern delegates are
lying to Hancock, and many figure a ma
ty for him on the first ballot to-day. If
Iilden men are going to develope their
m in his behalf they must seize their OPP
tunity early to-day. The New York dele
ion having withdrawn from the supported
sne, have informally agreed not to present
candidate, but if Tilden is presen of else
Here in such a way as to give him half a

IA question the fact that Tilden's letter of
fhdraWal was in fact designed to win the
lpathy of the convention and strengthen

Premc moment.

the convention will nominate its candi-
es and finish all business during o-day's
Fslon. Few delegates are yet seated, and
Fy are coming in very slowly. The CALLER
are only partly filled.
President Stevenson arrived at lO:25, but
