aidate a handsome vote. The arrangement
was concluded by which the Wisconsin oeie-
cation should make u break at tne eno
of the first roll call, and they had re-
ceived some encouragement from such stron9
Tildeu men as William ]. Scott. of Pennsylvan'a'
and ex Senator Barnum, and knowing how mobnke
the Convention was so far as any strong attacn-
ments TO any candidates were concerned, they went
into the Convention this morning in strong hopesoi
making stampede.
Meanwhile they got great deal Of help from the
homeless confusion of the Tilden party. lhe nfst
ballot showed that Henry B. Pavne could not be
nominated, and he was withdrawn at last nights
meeting of the New-York delegation. This change
in the situation utterly demOralzed the two great
States of New-York and Ohio. New-1orK

The situation of Ohio was even more peculiar.

only earnest campaign that was IN progress was

The plan of the Morrison men to capture the Vice
Presidency tor their man failed, and it is sud they
received o dispatch from Mr.. Morrison during the
Presidential ballot refusing the use OF
his name The nomination OF Englsh Is re-
garded here as adding a great deal OF strength
to the ticket, not only because Mi. Enghsh
comes from doubtful State, but because it is said
that he can furnish the barl " which nobody sus-
meets General Hancock of possessing. A knot OF
Democrats were discussing the idea of iancocks

of view. One of them said "Pshaw. his nomination

A LACK or PERSONAL INTEREST.
One very curious feature of the Convention Is
that practically nobody is disappointed. or course
each unsuccessful candidate has personal friends
and adherents who regret the result, but
there is nothing like the bitterness and
depression that usually follow a we'll
contested nomination. This is due to fact
winch has been dwelt on in these dispatches which
rendered General Hancock's nomination SO
easy, and which under other circumstances
would have rendered different nomination
eoually easy This was that there was no personal
enthusiasm on the part of the mass of any candi-
dates supporters not even those OF General HdI-
cock himself Most OF the men who were support
ing Pavne. Bayard, Field, Thurman, and Randall,
really cared very little personally for their candi-
dates. They saw the one withdrawn without re-
gret and when they felt like 1t abandoned the
Others with the greatest alacrity.
There was no parallel whatever in this COnven-
ton to the personal and aectonae zeal with which
Blaine and Grant were supported at Chicago, cX-
cept perhaps in the case of Mr. Hendricks His
friends are disappointed and deeply SO.
But the rest Of the delegates are In the
best of humor, pleased with the ticket
and suffering no sense of defeat Whether this is n
good or poor augury for the ticket the veteran poll
ticans must decide. But John Van Buren, used to
have theory that tights in Democratic COnven-
tions were good thing for the party, because they
always resulted IN more Democrats.
The Tammany men are beside themselves with
delight They feel that they had something to do
with nominating Hancock, as Mr.. Kelly was con-
suited about it, and they feel also that the TIden
delegates did not distinguish themselves in the Con-
yention. Then the great thing is that Tiiden
is deiunct Mr. Kelly's relief at getting
back into the party was evident. he re-
ceiyed O good deal of attention when the nom-
ination was made and the ghost of Tilden was
finally laid. Several delegates called on him at his
room this afternoon, made speeches to him, and
invited him to various parts of the Union during
the campaign.
No city more suddenly discharged National Con-
vention through its gates than Cincinnati has done
this afternoon and evening. The Convention ad-
iourned ct just O'clock but nearly before that time
threc-fourths of the delegates had left the hall and
were at the hotels packing up their vases and grip
sacks and preparing for their speedy departure.
