Advance Guards.
The Louisiana delegation is the first on
the ground. 1t is quartered at the Palmer.
The California delegation is to arrive to-
morrow. Two of the delegates from that
State have already been here. They are
Thomas J. Clunie and State Senator W.
B English. They went on to New York to
consult the political managers there. That
reminds me that it is Just little queer
that New York should be allowed TO dictate
! to the great West. If New York has a man
to win, bring him out. The party will sup,
port him. But this thing of establishing
the English city on Manhattan Island rs
Mecca and Tammauy Hall as the boss joss
! house is hardly Democrati'.
Mr.. Cluuie said that California was solid
for Tilden. The delegates were instructed
tor him aud were by no means willing to
accept his letter as = Enality. They say
he wrote Just such letter four years ago
and vet no one doubts that if the Cincin-
natl Convention had given him Z unanimous
nomination he would have accepted it. Mr.
Clunie said he saw Mr. Tilden in New York
about three months ago, and after Tilden
had spoken of the great task Democratic
President would have to perform and his
disnclinatiOn to undertake it. he (Mr. Clu-
nie) had ASKED him (Mr. Tilden), Would
YOU refuse if the nomination were rendered
YOU unanimouslvY' Mr.. Tildcn made him
no answer. and Mr. Clunie was confident
that Mr.. Tilden would accept the nomination
If it were given him by acc.amatiOn. With
Tilden out Of the race, Thurman, Cleveland
Mcdonald or any Democrat, except Field
could carry his State by from six to twelve
thousand majority.
Thurman's Strength.
Mr.. English said that Senator Thurmans
strength in California was due 10 his bill
which curlailed some Of the privileges Ofthe

Mr.. English said the causes of the opposi
rion TO Justice Field were his decisions on
phases of the Chinese question aud his re

Vermont.
General 3. z. Smailey, of Vermont, who
is both member Of the National Demo
cratic Committee and delegate at large to
the Convention. SAYS that the Vermont del
eyation has no direct preference, but will
occupy pretty much the same position held
bv the rest Of the StateS-that is, they are
prepared to accept any man agreeable to
the New York delegation.
Arkansas.
Judge William Rose. of Little Rock, Ark,
who is a delegate. said: The Arkansas
delegation was instructed for Tilden, and
We are as vet loathe to go back on that in
struction. We are hopeful vet that he will
consent TO De the candidate, and until he
declines more forcibly than he did in his re-
