committee. Among the names most fire.
Texas, Col. W.. F. Villas, of Wisconsin, and
ex-senator j. R. Doolittle, also of Wisconsin.
Some of the delegates, especially those
from the south, are 10th to accept .Tilden' IS
letter of withdrawal as final, and talk of his
nomination anyhow. The daily News\ will
say on this subject: cit may be said au-
thoratively, however, that Daniel Manning
has in his pocket letter from Tilden to
meet just such contingency as this. Should
Tilden's admirers insist upon bringing his
name before the convention, this docoment
Will be read and it is safe to say it will reit-
crate and emphasize his letter of declination.

HEwITT's TARIFF PLANK.
1.-THE Daily Neus will say: "a. 8. Hewitt
arrived tits afternoon, armed with a tariff
plank for the national platform. Although
he arrived at a late day, he created as much
of stir as did Henry Watterson when he es-
tablished his headquarters at the Palmer
house. Hewitt's resolution was of a concil-
iatory nature, and seemed to meet the ap-
proval of several western tariff reformers,
but was not sufficiently posi-
tive in its declarations against
protection to suit the reformers of most pro-
nounced types. During the day conference
was held between Hewitt, Manton Marble,
Smith, Weed and others, at which it was de-
cided by the opponents of the Watterson
school to reject the Hewitt resolution in part
and to unite upon plank similar to that
adopted in Ohio. This will not suit the ex-
tremists in favor of free trade, and the tariff
fight will will probably occur over that plank
THE oAIIFoRNIANs.
A well attended meeting of California
Democrats present in the city was held this
afternoon, with J. D. Carr, chairman. Among
the prominent Californians paesent were John
P. Irish, State Senators Kelly and Dough-
erty, Lieutenant Governor johnson, Judge
Wright, R. d. Faulk, and others. Resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted, setting
forth that the recent affront offered to Judge
Field by the California state convention was
not the expression of the Democratic
party, nor of the people of
California, but was a factional out
burst in the convention, legally composed
of delegations appointed by county commit
tees in denial to the people of their right of
primary elections. The preamble declares this
action of the California state convention
without precedent and has seriously jeopar-
died the electoral votes which the united
party would be proud to present to victorious
national Democracy. Judge Field was
heartily endorsed The resolutions point to
his spotless record as an indignant
denial of the attempted affront
They recite Fields services upon
the electoral commission of 1876, his valu-
able services to the country at large as an
upright, broad, liberal judge, and recognizes
his multitudinous benifcent services as judge
and citizen to California. The name OF
Judge Field is presented for the respectful
consideration of the convention. The reso-
lutions particularly ask the favor and friend
ship Of the representatives of the organized
labor of the country.
