Colonel w . O. P. Bun ?ixrid.it, of Payette

becouso of tho purity of hie character. My
second choice Is tno man that can win.
Probably if Pendleton ?aa be lor a the Convention and 1
do uoi think he will be, he would be my second choice.
But, st I said before, it all depends upon the way
things go. I am for the man that can win. I em not
sufficiently posted in politics to say who that man is. I
am not in auy way an inflationist. I am lor tho repeal
of (he Resumption act, the liquidation of the national
banks and returning to a sound currency aa soon as
possible.
John VI. Rica, of Lawreuce county, is for the winning
man. Does not think 1 llden is that man. Rather
I leans to the solt money side and Hendricks. does to
st. l.ouis unp.edged, and will do what he thinks for
. the best luleresia of the party and tho country.
Hsnry Warrsasos la decidedly for Tilden, and in all
' likelihood will so convince many of tne delegates before
| they reach St. Louis that they will bo loath to acknowi

? great reformer.

THE DELEGATION DIVIDED?HENDRICKS WILL
HAVE FOURTEEN VOTES AND TILDEN SIX ON
THE FIRST BALLOT.
St. Loris. June 18, 1878.
A few waeka ago, before the assembling ot the
Missouri Democratic Convention on the 81st uit,
almost the entire rentltncut of the party was in favor
of Hendnck-. Tina was evidenced by the fact (bat
?very democratic paper in the state, with two or three
exceptions, bad warmly espoused tb - ciuse ot the
Indiana statesman A wonderful and sudden cbaugs
came over the papers, however, and when the Conven
tion assembled It was mamlest that Hendricks bad rap
idly waned. It was true a plurality of tha delegates
seemed to be for bun. but the interest in bis bebalt was
lukewarm. Tho enthusiasm was gon", and tbere was
quite u prevalent opinion, even antoug bis supporters,
that bo lacked availability. Tbe charge was boldly
made by the more intemperate champion* ol Hen
dricks that this change has been induced by the distri
bution of Tliden money; that Tild-n had sent a barrel
of money to Missouri to ue placed where "it would do
tbe moat good,'' but of this tnsinuition there is at
least no authentic proof
Toe del -gates elected were uninitrncied. At first It ]
was announced that Tilden had capture 1 the Conven
tion; then It was said H mdrlclu hud the nominal
maturity of delegates, but that Tilden occupied such
vantage ground tbat be could easily control tbe eotire
rote when tbe crisis cams The truth m, no one knew
how the delegates stood. Most ol them were not at the
Convention, and even tbe Congressional District Com
mittees that nomin ited tho delegates ban outy a gen
eral idea ot the Presidential preferences. The dele
gates am nearly all representative men. and their
mi-hod In the National Convention waa left entirely to
their own judgment a|d discretion. With a view of
learning exactly how each de Csata leaned as >o Drat,
second and third cbutco lor President, your corre
spondent has spent several days in various portions ol
the Stale, and cow presents to tl.a reader* ol the
Hkkald the result of personal interviews held with
tbo->e who will represent Missouri in the Democratic
National Convention.
THK ytl.SGATSS AT LASMB.
Kx-G?veruor SilaR Woonsox Is an uncempromising
Hendricks partisan. Ha is, as be said to tbn Hesai.p
correspondent, lor Hend it kt "Urat, la t and all the
time." Bald bo:---"Hendricks Is the most truly repre
sentative man wbo baa yet been mentioned for the
position; at least be ts tho only ono wbo suit* the
Westorn people. 1 will advocate Hrndncks in the
Convention as long as there Is a ray of hone. Nhonld
be prove absolutely unavailable, my secoud choice will
b? Hsmock and my third Tburman. I tutnk Hancock
Mill make an excellent candidate. Though a military
man. he proved by hta administration of affaira nt Now
OrlMni that be believed in the subserviency of the
military to civil lew."
Governor Cbaklki H. Habdix listed that hto pref
erence wea lor Hendricks. He bed so openly avowed
two mnutha belore tbo State Convention met. He
waa profoundly convinced that Hendricks wonid be
found available, but in tbe contrary event bis second
choice would bo Tilden and hut third Hancock.
Mr. Stilsos Hutchiss la the a bar pout uni best in
formed politician In tbe Stale, and he abortly
denied to your correspondent tbat ha bad
any preferences whatever. He vehemently denied
tbat any money bad been used by Tilden to
advance bit prospec s lu Missouri. Said he:?
"While I liave no Presidential preicrenoe, 1 am Ireo to
say tbat my personal choice would be Hendrlcka, but 1
uow regard Hendricks as practically out ol tue race,
if Tnuruian bad not been beaten in onto 1 would be
emphatically lor bim. In fact, 1 now mink Mr. Thur
lOHti la tbe biust available man. witb Tilden next. If
Tilden and Tnurniuu were both found unavailable 1
would doubtless be iu luvor ol Hancock. Tbe change
ol popul r leellug witb reference to Presidential c udi
daleg has beeu verv peculiar. First Alien stood in high
luvor at the West. It was loon found that
bis currency views were so obnoxious to
fcastern people as to make bim unavailable.
A step in adv..nee was made, and tbe West settled on
Hendricks. Hu was very popular for a while, but ibe
hostility of the Last toward turn compelled another ad
vance toward liberalism on tbe currency qucsiiou.
Tburtnao was tbe next Westerner who was put lorward
as tbe democratic caudidaie who could carry the coun
try by storm. The que.-tion now Is whether tbe party
will take Tburtnao, with tbe disadvantage ol bis recent
dei.-at in Ohio, or advance to tbe ground occupied by
Tilden and acc. pt tbe New York reiormer as tbe stand
ard bearer ol tbe campaign." Mr. Hutcbtne bad a very
podr idea of Ti.deu as a reiormer, but would neverthe
less cnaerlully vote for bun. He charged bun with
being, like Brtsiow, "an artistic reiormer"?more ue
voted to reiorm us a means ol advancing his own lntor
e*tthan those o the country.
H. J. Spa.n.nhokst, tbe remaining delegate at large,
Is a representative German, aud prominently con
nected wilu tbe politics ol tbo Slate, having served in
several iinporiuiii official capacities und being now
ineulioned for the Lieutenant Governorship. Mr.
bpuuniior.it showed a decided reticence when ap
proached by a Hskai.d representative. He was unre
served in Ins siuteiiu-ni, however, tbat be did not be
lieve In ibe "lavorito sou'' business, and lor one will
have nothing to do with tbo Brouhcad movement.
Mr. .-paunhorsi could not bo pressed into a positive
comnuiial, but It was ascertained by your correspon
dent, upon indubitable testimony, that bis llrsi Presi
dential choice is Hendricks, second Tburmaa and third
Tilden.

THE DELEGATION INSTRUCTED FOB HKND KICKS,

FOB SECOND CHOICE.
ToriKA, June 10, 1870.
Among tbe democrats there is a great diversity of
opinion regarding a ?econd or third choice, a though it
Is understood their flint ballot will be c ml for Hen
dricks. The gentlemen composing tbo democratic
delegation are widely known and respectad throughout
the State, not as mere politician-, but as men of ability
and integrity, whose individual opinions arc entitled to
groat weight.
T. L Davis, of Greenwood county, says:?"Hen
dricks is tho first cho.ce of the Kansas delegation.
Speaking for myiell alone, If Handricks cannot be
nominated I am in favor ol Tilden next, although I do
not indorse hia v.tws upon Qnanco. It seems to me
the financial question 1a a secondary <>ne, and I do
not ca a so much about that as al<oui the man. II tho

TUB DELEGATION DIVIDED BBTWEEW TILDE*
AND THUBMAN?A 8TBONO EFFOBT TO BB
MADE AGAINST CBINB8E IMMIGBATION.
Vibqima Orrr, Nov., Jane 1,1IT1
The democratic delegation of this State ?u> elected
by the Stato Central Committee at Carson l?at week,
and la not nearly as strong Intellectually as tbelr op
ponents of the republican side, although every member
Is a gentleman of good social and proleaaional standing.
The delegation constats of A. C. F.lhs, Carton; John C,
Kunecu, Mayor ol Virgtula City; K. P. Keating,
Gold Mill; John C Kali, L'ulonville; R K.
Kelley, Carson, and John H. Dennis, Eureka.
The delegation is pledged only to the observance of
democratic princtplea In the resolutions adopted on
the day the delegation was elected waa a very slroug
one against further Chinese Immigrut'on, and I do not
doubt that the delegation will centre on the candidate
who declares hirnsell in lavor 01 a treaty regulating
Chineae immigration to this coast. The Chinese
nuisance ha- become almost Intolerable here. There
are at present 200,000 or these pests on the PaclQo
coast, and the number is increasing at tbs rate of 3,000
a mootn. They are not only the dregs of their own
country, but absolutely the vilest specimens of human
ity in tbo world. In Virgluia City there are over 1,000
Chinese, oi whom about 160 are females, imported lor
the vilest purposes. Both males nd iemales are reek
ing wltb ahom nahle diseases, and the opium dens are
not onty the resorts of the nband<-ned of their own
race, but of the whiten I have beard ol Instances of
respectable young boys and girls visiting these dons.
Bui to give you an Idea of half the vices ol the Mon
golians would require a special letter. It you onuid
know what we wncf live here must know you would
not think It snango that the question of further
Chinese immigration has become ol ouougu Importance
to enter in <> national politics. The dcinocr itic dele
gation is divided as between Tilden and Thurmsn.
Both are recognized as statesmen having equal claims
oti the democracy and oo their fellow cit gens of all
parties. Tbo question will cert inly be settled when it
Is known how they stand on tbe 'subject of "Chinese
cheap labor."
A. C. Ei.us takes Thtirmen for his first choice, Tilden
second and Hendricks (bird.
John H. Dkxnis follows in tho footsteps of El'is. He
has proclaimed himself lor Thurmuu urst, Tilden seo
ond and Hendricks third.
1 have not been abig to reach John C. Fai.l directly,
hut am informed by gentlemen in his confidence that
bis first choice Is forTndon; second, Thurman; third,
Hendricks
K. P. Kkatino, of Gold Hill, w ill not attend tbe Con
vention, but will be represented by bis altornate, J. A.
Hrumsey, of Virginia City, who is anabto to make up
bis mind as between Tildou nd Thurman, but rather
inclines to Tilden. 1 think you may score Brumsey for
Tilden.
R. K. R elbt says:?"I'm for Governor Tilden first
and last."
Jou.v C. Kankkx, Mavor of Virginia City, Is decidedly
In lavdr of Tilden for drst choice and Tburtnun lor sec
ond. He considers Mr. Tildeu tha ablest man In tbe
rattles or (be democracy, and one on whom the masses
ot the people would rally. Mr. Kapeen does not be
lieve this a "party" canvass. Tho lime has r.ome to
support tbe men who are known to possess the moral
courage and tlio Integrity to reform abuses In their own
parties.

Memphis At peril:-? '? Tbe nomination of Governor

Columbus (Oa.) Enquirer:?"In the South, where

Omaha (Neb.) Herald .-??The Canal Ring of thieves

Considerable Interest Is manifested in tbe Dens*

and some 36.1 democrats compose tbls gathering.
The hotels are crowded, and the chances of
the various candidates mentioned for tbe St. Loots
nomination are discussed to-night with a good deal of
warmth. A m jority of the delegation with whom I
conversed favor Tilden, and It Is probable tbattbeCon
vention will pass a resolution indorsing that gentleman
for tbe Presidency. There are others, however,
who speak ol Judge Davis, but the ticket
generally advocated is that bearing the name
j ol Tilden and Hen<rricks. Goveinor Tilden s

HAYES AT HOME.
What One Who Knows Him
Thinks of Him.
A GREAT POLITICAL TACTICIAN.
The Style of Oratory That Makes
Converts.
MRS. HAYES AND CHILDREN.
Colombo!, Ohio, June 19, 1876.
Darin* the*e summer days the Governor's reception
room in lbs State Capitol Is as cool and pleasant a place
to sit down and while away the sultry hoars as may be
lound anywhere. The chamber Is broad and spncloue,
and the great granite walls shut out the heat as well as
the noise of the busy city clot* at band. There are
easy chairs and lounges, solt Brussels carpets, and the
eye looks out through the hoavi>y recessed windows on
wide green lawns and waving iollage, while In the near
distance the tide ol busy life, like a p.imrama, moves
along the broad avenue ol High street; but wltuin
these granite walls Its murmurs are silent to the ear.
It was here 1 sat this morning talking to Captain Alfred
E. Lee, and the Subject of our conversation was Gov
ernor Hayes, tbo republican candidate lor President of
ths United States. The Captain snowed me a lengthy
sketch ol the Governor's life, which bad
been very recently printed. It dealt entirely with the
services ol iheTlovernor in the war and his subsequent
political career, but 1 watt'ed something else. 1 wanted
to know something of ihe manner ol the man and
whom be married and how he lived and how many
children be had, he. I was speaking to
OKI WHO KXicW HIM,
as the saying goes, like a book, and I learned that Gov
ernor Hayes, without any pretence to be thought eo,
is one of the best ucticlsns that ever led a party In a
political campaign, and the way he laid out the demo
cratic party last tall by the most unassuming skill has
never been properly known and' appreciated. It wae
tact of the highest kind, and only a fine student of
politic* could have mode the earne display. In bis
three campaigns as Governor he Invariably mapped
out the plaos and pointed out the policy to be pure-ied.
His victorie* are oallod accidental and the result of
blind luck, bat to ujr one wbo has studied the part
hayes played there m another way of accounting for
them. ?w are aware what a
PKRSDAS1VB POWHB OP SP1AKINO
Hsyea possesses. It Is not eloquence in the sense of
rhetorical deulamatloq, bnt It la eloquence In the sens*
ol presenting an argumant with so much simplicity
that the most ordinary mind oan feal ita force and ap
plication. His speeches always made votes. He
brought more converts to hie aide last fall than all the
other speakers put together. He !? not a declaimer.
He never tries the ordinary claptrap of the stump.
His method appears to be to concentrate all bla facul
ties on n few polnta, just as you might take a burning
glass and concentrate the sun's rays on n given object.
Ha nsver wanders away from the Bubject la hand Ilka
the majority of speakers. He makee use of no One
language, but, on the contrary, adheres to the home
liest hngliih. Another source of his strength la a
campaign Is that while he Is a faithful partisan he acts
with unoommon liberality to hie opponents. He dis
arms them by bis coartesy, ynt never shrinks an Inch
from his position or his principles.
TBH AvanARB PARTT ORATOR
eannot, to asve his life, resist the temptation to have a
fling at his opponent or the opposing party. This often
comes of n lack of ideas, and abnaa is substituted for
argument Hayes never does that He la the moat
chivalrous of campaign speakers. See how kindly and
generously he speaks of Thurman and Hendricks and
Bayard and Ttlden, and be has no offensive epithets to
level at the South. The word rebel he seldom uses In
short, be is the Sir Philip Sidney of party
politics. Again, no one hae ever found
him rushing Into print or even on the stump
replying to any calumny nttered against
him. Here he showed both wisdom and tslf poise.
How many man are taken off their guard and made
rldlenloos In replying by letter to the baselese almders
of some unprincipled schemer. To whatever dispar
aging things were said ag.iinst htm in bis three cam
paigns for Governor he never responded.
A rKW MORE POIKT8.
He never sought an office in hi* life, and goes Into
the White House?that is. If be ever goes?entirely un
pledged. He believes, with Thomas Jefferson, bat
the Individual abould not seek the office, but, rather,
tbat the office should seek the individual. He made
no effort of any kind whatever to secure the nomina
tion he baa received. Hundreds of letters were writ
ten to httn offering him support In the Convention to
secure him the nomination, and he declined to answer
tbem. In making up tho Ohio delegation it was ap
prehended that men in favor of Blaine or Norton
would got on and to manipulate it that he (Hayes)
would be left out In the cold. Hie friends advised bitn
to look alter the thing and prevent such a consumma
tion. but ne steadily declined to Interfere, ana du*n to
tbo last day ol the Convention he never, by word or
deed, acted In a way that indicated he j
sought the position.
He went into the army aa a private, an event i
which happened in this wny:?Stanley Mathews, or
Cincinnati, and Hayes were old schoolfellows, aud
when the war broke out tbey agreed to raise a regi
ment between them. Men enough otlcreu to form two
regiments, but when they picked their number and
brought them on hereto Columbus to offer their >er- |
vices to Governor Deunison they lound there was some i
jealousy among the officers at having two lawyers put 1
over tnelr beads, sain a spirit ol patriotism and bar- |
mony both mou went In as privates

Mrs. Hayei is s most attractive and lovable woman.

she dresses la the fsabtou of a quarter oeulury ago.
Har lips wear a uaiur .1 and peronnial amile, and aa tier

the is a woman of tnueo fascination. Mrs. Hayes went
to school ai the I'niv rsny ot Delaware, in this Male,
and completed her education at the Wecleyao Female

that when the commencement took pi.ico at ihis

candidates, another thing to elect them

MR. ORTON OS REFoRMKRS.
William Orton. on being called upon, said that he
considered It a work of supererorgatmn for a tnau
to indorse his own note; In- bud irnno to ('men
natl as a delegate, not of the I nion League Club, hut ot
the republican party of tbe city and county ot Mew
York He bed made no pretence of lie ng a eham
nion reformer, and lor the past few weeks
he bad not been in very lull communion
with many ol its memiiers. ? He believed the
Club would acquire tbe right to lecture public m>-n
after it bn l taken the lirst step ttscll to do what it
wished others to do. by adapting iteelt to the mode*
followed by politicians and which controlled politics,
lie besrnly ludorsed Hayes and Wheeler, and inti
mited that the ticket had been seriously considered i?
a probable one by mnny of those delegates who ha?
left New York apparently determined to supper
heartily but one certain candidate. "Politicians,"
said he, "do not always proceed lo catch weaties, lec
by n boss band."
I?. B RATON'S RKMARKS.
Porman B Eaton heartily tudoraed the ticket,
called for reform and honesty in lite administration of
government, and gave Mr. orton some severe rape on
the strength ol hi* assertion that the Hayes aud
Wbeeier ticket had been consldere I a probability lou|
ago by men who were wrongly weddod to quite anothei
one before the Convention met.
Judge 1 invis made a little speech favoring the ticket,
and aiutcd that he bad that day received a letter (rem
ex-Secretary Bnstow. In wnich the jafter warmly in
dorsed Hayee and Wheeler, lie was followed by Judge
Walker. Mr. Gnlteaq, Mr. Baker and Colonel Hawkins,

risd without a dissenting vqiee.
