sKIRMIsHING BEFORE THE BATTLE OF TODAY
CINCINNATI, June 21.-Whle thcro is no
such crowd here as was at Chicago during the
republican convention, nevertheless the hotels
aud streets are well filled with strangers, and
the evidence Of keen interest is seen every
hand Tilden's pei sisteut friends do not regard
his letter Us an absolute Withdrawal from the
canvass and would press his name If there ap.
peared 10 he any chance of success, but outside
ofhs pledged supporters there is evident every
where the disposition to accept his declinaton
us definite. The sentiment of delegates as
they arrive seems to favor Bayard, but with
no certainty of his nomination. The friends
Of Hepdricbs rather despair over his prospects,
and Tilden's delegates do not altogether ac-
cept either Payne or Randall as the !egatee of
his claims. Hancock's friends who are many
appear 10 be roserving themselves until their
oppoit tunty shall develop. Jcwett bas quito
q following, which is active and well-organ-
lied. Fields advocates are working hard and
methodically to get up boom for him. Ran
doph aud Groesbeck each has many earnest
supporters. The general situation on the
whole Is so mixed that nothing could be more
hazardous or uncertain than any prediction AS
to tho final result
The following committee was appointed to
report tonight on temporary officers of tho
convention aud OIL committees: Daniel Mann
ing, William c. Kingsley, Dennis o Brien and
K. ii. Gwinup.
