His brother, John Seymour, has tele-

THIS RrrrREs TILDEy, AND THE WEST LOOKS
UP.
The Enquirer this morning saws inat ms
stem virtually retires Tilden, and that tue
Convention will 90 West for its candidate
and select probably Payne, Field, or jew
EFT. ,,
The general talk among the delegates,
however, is that Bayard has much actnal
strength, and may be nominated WIN
western man as Vice-Presfdent. t
WHAT HAS HELPED PAYNE's CHANCES.
Since the Supreme Court Of Indiana has
decided that an election must be beid tneTe
in October there is less objection to putting
Ohio on the ticket as an October State, asst
il believed that Indiana would offset Il Re-
publican victory in Ohio. 1t has certainly
strengthened Payne's candidacy, either ior
the first or second place on the ticket.
The conference at Columbus last night
gave Thurman some support, but OUTSIDE
of Ohio and West Virginia he IL not &c.
riously spoken OF. Eastern men object 10
Tburman's financial record, and western
men make that objection to Bayard.
DOUBTS ABOUT Mi. TILDEN's POSITION.
II il not finally decided whether Tilden's
name will 90 before the Convention or not.
His representatives here are very cautious
"a IN his intentions, but intimate that II his
name is not presented he will name the eau
d dare. and that PAYNE, Of Ohio, will be the
man. Even tine rumor OF this situation
gives the Payne canvass decided impetus.
Speaker Randalps friends here are most
emphatic in declaring that he is not cam
didate; that he is for Tilden first and the
nominee all the time. Mr.. Randall arrived
to-day.
INDIANA FOR HENDRICKS.
The Indiana delegation have had two
meetings, and will adhere to Hendricks.
They scout the idea OF giving him the Sec
opd place. and claim that Indiana, as an
October State, must now be taken INTO con-
sideration. f.
General Badly Smith is here at the head
of the Hancock movement. lie says all tne
ex.soldiers in New York and PENNSYLVANIA
will vote for him and carry those States
TILDEN UNDECIDED.
Ex.Mayor Wickham, OF New YORK says
that Tiden is undecided between Randaii
and Payne. John Kelly has telegram rom
New York stating that Tilden has written

York, Withdrawing as candidate.

morning. Two thirds OF them are Tor bay

The District OF Columbia delegates,
through William Dickson, have presented
10 the National Committee the appeal OF
the Territorial delegates for representation
Ia coo ryaefooas convention. They make
the point that some OF the Territories will
soon be States, and that the District always
maintains an efficient Democratic organiZa-
ton.

A View Of tho Battle-Ground.
CINCINNATI. OHIO, June 1S.-Before the
decision OF the Indiana Supreme Court the
friends OF Dir. Tilden utterly ignored tne
claim OF Indiana for recognition. III tue
election in Indiana was TO be deferred until
November the programme OF Tue IHueh
men might have been urged, but now the
question has got TO be squarely met; for not
only the prestige Of Republican success 10
The October elections would be hurtful 10

NJ Indiana In October depends the choice
NJ the Legislature that will elect sue
cessor IN Senator Mcdonald. The gain OF
Republican senators in Connecticut, New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and H.
diana. with Senator David Davis, OF llli-
nois. az the uncertain member, and the
doubtful attitude Of SenatOr-elect Malone,
from virginia, would no more than leave
the Senate TO the Democrats. The Indiana
delegation has accordingly taken the field to |
set forth in the plainest manner the issue |
the National Convention has got TO meet. |
Mr.. Hendricks most emphatically declares |
he will not again accept the nomination for |
Vice.P President, and therefore 1t is useless to |
discuss bis name in that connection. IL |
the Convention against his oft-expressed |
determination should nominate him, one OF |
the delegates has in his possession a letter |
more explicit than the one written by Mr.. |
Seymour to Mr.. Spriggs. stating that he |
will not allow bis name TO be used under |
any consideration for the second place on |
the ticket. So the struggle, as it is pre-
scented by Indiana, is that the Convention |
must give him the first place on the ticket |
or disregard his influence and the prob
ability OF carrying Indiana in October The |
ticket named is Hendricks and Potter.
MR. TILDEN AND HIS WITHDRAWAL.
There Is no longer the slightest doubt |
that Mr.. Tilden has prepared document in |
view OF his contemplated withdrawal from |
the canvass. Night after night for weeks |

approached him from every section Of the |
Union. and day after day on horseback or
in his cab going down town or at Graystone
he has meditated and pondered the matter
in his own silent way. Not one man who |
has seen him in all this time excepting,
