CINCINNATI, June 2S.--The confusion
worse COMPOUNDED continues. ltelegrapbed
YOU last night that no ballot would be taken
to-day. There was one, but II would have
not been taken IL, as ought to have been the
case, the platform had been fist adopted.
The ballot to-day was bogus ballot: votes
were thrown away. The Hancock vote and
the Baysrd vote were cast in good faith the
others were mostly tentative. The announce
ment. that only six Of CalifornIa's twelve
votes were for Field ended the Field boom,
IN nv opinion, though Royal still has faith
that Field will be nominated.
Sirngielow spoke for Field In sccondiny
the nomination, but was rather badly re-
ceiyed by the niue or ten thousand people
in The ball.
John W. Daniels speech seconding Han
cocks nomination was a success. l heard
VOORHEES, say, -" lie is man OF power"
He had the sympathy Of his auditors, how
ever, as Srincfellow did not have, and
therefore was encouraged TO do his best. |
was proud Of Daniel as Virglnian. String
fellow was leading a foilorn hope or be
would have been more fortunate. Wallace,
OF Fredericksburg, leads the Bayard forces
in Virginia, whose vote was for Field,
for Hancock, and 10 for Bayard. Wallace,
too, Is 4 gallant fellow, and very popular.
am impartial because my favofite, Mr..
SEYMOUR, refuses TO be President; but
must say for him, after learning all
that can from all sources, that II lie had
wanted to run he would have been nomi-
mated on tie first ballet. Ills popularity
exceeds ANYTHING | have ever known, yet
members OF the New York delegation are
very cold towards him. The vote to-day
meant nothing.
Tilden is still a formidable candidate. but
that insuI mountabIe two-thirds rule is TO
him an impossible barrier.
Thurman j. not simply wounded, but
slain in the house Of his friends. Hendricks
ditto. McDoDald is >til talked OF as a dark
horse along with English, though VOORHEES,
gave him an awful slap to-day when he sand
there was no ireachery to Hendricks among
the Indiana delegates. BY the way, Dan.
Dougherty, who made a splendid speech
for Hancock, said his reputation was as un-
stained as his sword, and caused many to
think that Lackhanded compliment.
1t requires 492 votes to nominate. No.
body but dark horse can get them, though
Wedderburn and other Hancock men say
their favorite will be nominated tomorrow
! cannot think so, though l believe would
give better guess es TO the result il were
in Richmond. | shall have faith that Con
necticut man may be nominated for Presi
dent. O'Bren, who has been very kind tC
ne here, says the chances are that Tllder
and Hendricks will be nominated.
The New York and Ohio delegations vii
tomorrow enGeavOr TO start boom fol
PAYNE. think they will fail.
II Is now nearly midnight here, and
have Just conycrsed with Judge Harris
one OF the shrewdest Of men. He says
that Hancock will be nominated tomorrow
on the second or third ballot. l cannot
spree with linn, w. 4. ID.
