It was the work of the machine, whose decision, as was indl- cated In these dispatches Inst night, was made In tho secret caueus In the private pare lors of Willlam IL. Barninn, ex-Senator from ‘ Connecticut, Chairman uf the Comittee, ie ‘That caucus lasted from 8 o'clock Inst night until past midnight. Itwas there dechted by the ‘Tilden machine thot whatever ’ votes ‘Tilden had should be. given * to Cineinnatl, and it was on account of that dceision that the Cincinnatt men, at midnight. last night, called the Convention theirs by 20 votes. To-lay Clnefnnatt was selected on t the second ballot by 24 votes, showing only 3 less than the votes assigned to ft by the Democratle machine at this midnight mect- Ing. Of this meeting even the Chicago dele- 4 Bation, with the exception of Mr. Goudy, dd not seem toho informed. If they had been they would searcely have made sucli hopeful annonneements ng they did this morning. , i HOW IT ITAPPENED that Barnum, ‘Tden’s manager, and Clint man of the .Cominiltee, decided that Clich- hath should be the place, will perhaps always. temaln amystery. ‘There were 1 variety of causés which contributed to this end, ‘The cause which the Titden Democrats are the i least willing to admit is the planation i which secins tho shuplest—namely: that the war-ery of the ‘Tammany sachons frightened “ the Tilden men from thelr original purpose, | Tilden undonbtedly had at one the the gen- imental fden that the old thine, the old place, and the old ticket should be nominated, and ‘that the issues of 1873 should 20 the.
