the best President for the country since Jacksons

dicious enough To nominate Tilden."
Mr.. W. d. Hill, better known under the soubri-

morrow to be present at the Thurman Confer.
ence. The whole Ohio delegation will be there.
Reporter-What is the object of the Confer
ence?
Hill-we win simply confer as 70 ways and
means tn nominate Thurman. / am sorry that
the idea has been broached that the Ohio Gele-
gates do not mean 1t honestly with Thurman's
candidacy. This is not true Since

know that each one earnestly desires to seer
Thurman nominated. He will get the solid vote.
The Conference will substantiate this fact ! be-

Hon. Milton Sayler in an interview, said:
when the Tilden people see that they can not
nominate him, hey will nearly all turn over TO
Hugh J. Jewett, and If dark horse is to be the
nominee Jewett is the one. Jewett will surely
carry the State of New YORK and W Il wipe out
Garfield in Ohio, while Indiana is q foregone con-
cusion for Jewett Omitting Seymour. Jewett is
the most popular man in New York am
convinced that seymour will not accept the nomi-
nation even II the Convention give it to him.
Senator Bayard will be stronger in the Conven-
ton than many believe. He will get nearly 100
votes on the first ballot and gain on the next. 1t
is doubtful, however, whether he will get the
necessary twO-thirds vote. Personally, would
like to see Thurman get the nomination.

Twenty-second District of New York, arrived here
yesterday, and is stopping at the Burnet House

ton. .-.l4|-

tee Was met at the rooms of the Local Committee
and introduced to STAR representative by GEN.
eral Banning as Hancock boomer.
'Tm not Hancock boomer" retorted the
Genetal; I'm not engaged at present in booming
anybody"
I'Who do you suppose will succeed in getting
the nomination. Generalr' asked the represent
ative
II don't know, and what's more don't care;
''Do you mean To say, then, that you have no
choice at allf'
That's exactly what say"
"But why does General Banning call you q
Hancock bo0mer"
For the same reason suppose that he is called
by Others Banning boomer" laughingly replied
the GeLe al. E7
The General was asked to give his views OF the
situation as 1t now Stood but he professed to
know moth ng at all.
Mr. Edgar X. Apgar, OF Ithaca, N. Y, was met
at the Grand this morning, surrounded by q bug
zng crowd He deprecated being p aced under
the hydrstatic pressure of an interview. but In
-
Gov. Seymour would be presented in the Conven-
ton said most emphatically, mot by the New
York delegation" N
Mr.. Apgar added that Mr. Seymour has de-
cined the use of his name too often and too ex-
plicilly to permit the idea being for moment
entertained that his name is among the posi- bill
ties before the Convention. Not three OF the sew
enty members of the New York delegation all told
are favorable 10 Mr.. Seymour's candidacy under
any possible circumstances likely to arise. And
moreover the New York delegates expect to offer
Mr.. Tildens name to the Convention with very
powerful arguments IN favor of his nomination
by that body
Mr.. Daniel Lamont. OF Albany, the Clerk of the
New Y rk Democratic State Committee, was met
at the Grand, and in answer to the inquiry as to
what the New York delegation was going to do in
the Convention said: "They are going to help
nominate President and Vice President" But
whom? we inquired. you ought not to expect
me. being newspaper man (Mr. Lamont repre-
stage OF the game-when the Convention ad-
journs will tell you all about it"
What is the feeling in the New York delega-
ton?" inquired our inouisitor.
"The feeling" said Mr.. Lamont, 'is that the
New York delegation will vote her entire sew.

at all, let Tammany howl as much as she pleaaes
The New York delegates will be here tomorrow
morning mostly and will meet at the Grand to-
morrow evening at s o'clock for organization.

able to be present at the Convention, although
delegate at large from New York"
Mr. Charles Davis, OF BinghamtOn. N. Y, who
achieved much distinction in New York US the
Agent and Warden OF the Sing Sing State Prison
when he instituted some highly important ad-
ministrative reforms was met at tie Grand and
also made to contribute to the undying pages Of
history but claimed to have nothing important
to tell When questioned as to the possibility of
Mr. Tilden carry ing New Yor k in the face Of John
Kelly's opposition, Mr.. Davis said that the Kelly
detection, while serious business last year in the
GuberDatorial contest was really of very little
moment in National canvass r' tG
John Kelly and fey Of his personal followers
might keepup the fight but the rank and file
would come into line befo-e November. Mr.. Davis
was of the oplion that Mr. T.lden possessed
strength in New York that no living man could
overcome. and outside Of that State there was no
opposition to Mr.. Tilden's candidacy If indorsed
by the Convention,
