THE FORSAKEN. HOW §, J. T. FAILED TO BECOME. THE NOM- ‘ INEE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yons, June%.—a Times correspond- ent at Albany thus explains how Tilden lost the nomination. He finessed once too much. ‘The correspondent says: The Albany dele- gates to the Cincinnati Convention from this city reached their homes _ to-day, among them being Daniel Mauning, Rufus W. Peckham, and Mayor Nolan. It fssafe to say, judging from the feeling ! among’ the most iniluential of Tilden’s defeated friends, that the disappointment of the Albany delegates is but the reflection of Tilden’s own bitter regret, and that no de- gree of cheering, and gun-firing, and fing-raising can enable Tilden or his admirers to forget how much he and they have lost. The State of New York had been cultivated as a field fertile and full of promise for the sage politician of Gramercy Park. No stone was left: un- turned in the effort to make the del- egation from this State as sure for Tilden as cast-iron abligationscould make it. They went to Cincinnati a solid Tilden body. No secret was made of their prime purpose in going there. It was to NOMINATE TILDEN AT ALL EVENTS, and the “told ticket” if practicable. Such men as Manning and Peckham openly de- clared it. In the minds of such men as Mayor Cooper, Andrew D. Green, Sheritf Bowe, Abram S. Hewitt, and others froin New York, delegates and outsiders, Tilden wasconstantly uppermost, In him thelrcause was embodied. By themTilden was regard- edasa great and successful expdnent of political ideas and statesman of no small pattern, and a man whose record as an executive officer gave promise, in the event of his . election, of an administration certainly vigorous and probably unique. The Convention’ dashed all the dreams of Tilden’s friends to the earth. The huzzas with which they have made themselves hoarse have stuck in their throats. Talk with some of thei this afternoon the failure to nominate was EXPLAINED WITH FREEDOM, when it was understood names were not to beused for publication. Before leaving New York, some of the gentlemen closest in Mr. Tilden’s confidence, who found oppor- tunities for conversing with him on the subject of the nomination, discovered that he was desirous of securing the nomination on the motion of some other State than his own. He was very positive in his views, and while the del- egates could not exactly understand the propriety of adoptin this course, they bowed to the wisdom of the : This plan was not generally known among the delegates in this State. They all expected New York would present its candidate, and that he would receive the nomination as a matter of course. Arrived at Cincinnati the lead- ers of the delegation, anxious to comply with Mr. Tilden’s expressed ‘wishes, sur- prised the Tildenites from other States by tneir inactivity, and strangely confused the conduet of hiscanvass. To many whocame to inquire whether Mr. Tilden would with- draw or remain in the race, EVASIVE AND UNSATISFACTORY REPLIES were given. ‘The letter of withdrawal came. It increased Tilden’s strength palpably outside of the New York delegation, but. those most firmly attached to him in the New York delegation really believed he meant to. withdraw. It is just possible he was _finessing. he — was __ he “ played it too fine” this time, as one of the delegates said to-day. Tilden wished to have it understood he did not nold a mortgage on the Democratic party; that he trusted its good sense and consistency, and relied upon these and what he believed to be an in- evitable success to follow to secure the honor ofa cordial, unanimous nomination. After the first letter, the long one, which was regarded merely asa bait byso many, the Tilden men began to cautiously feel about tor a candidate. They admit that they were all at sea, and that. Mr. Tilden’s appa- rent aversion to the nomination embarrassed. besides disappointing them. Jf they could have presented his name, as they desired to do, they say there is no question but that he would have received more than two-thirds of the votes of the Convention. WHAT TO DO THEY DID NOT KNOW, so they cast nbout fora candidate, and saw themselves defeated without exercising any intluence for anybody. a Of course the Tilden men acquiesce in the result. Still, they r at Hancock’s shoul- der-straps. “After ‘Tilden, Hancock.” The reflection is mortifying to the men who wanted a statesman, 2 man of affairs, a man of political sagacity and experience, and who are compelled to cheer for and put up with a soldier, a featherless cl:icken in politics, and, what is worse, one of whom the doubt is ex- pressed by Democrats whether he can begin to comprehend Mr, Tiiden’s idea of the duties and opportunities of the Executive office.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Boston, June 26,—There was a good deal of political talk at the club dinners to-day, and especially at the Middlesex, which in- dulged in a grand boom. Among those pres- ent and speaking were Senator Dawes and Representatives Loring, Rice, Crapo, Bow- man, and Harris, of Massachusetts; Presi- dent Chadbourne, of Williams College; At- torney-Genera!l Marston and Representative Davis, of California. The speechés were all eulogistic of Garfield, and full of confidence in the result in November. Chadbourne, in speaking of Garfield’s college course, said he withstood all the temptations of college life, and left there pure and undefiled. This he thought was sufficient evidence that our next President would be au incorruptible quan. His early training and character were founded on justice. ae To-day’s dinners the last before the suinmer recess, 2 number of noted guests were present. All around and everywhere an honest Republican enthusiasm was manife ‘est. THE DEMOCRATS. ALL PROMINENT MEN OF THE PARTY TO BE ASSESSED. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.

Ever since the nominations were made at Cincinnati the Democrats of this city have been making preparations for the ratification to-night, but for some reason the enthusiasm was uot as intense as was ex- pected. : IA, ILL. Special Dispater to The Chicago Tribune. CENTRALIA, Ul., June 26.—A Democratic ratification was held here to-day. Arrange- ments have been under way for a week, and it was thought that a large crowd would rally, but the result has not warranted the expenditure. Only about. 250 were on the ground,-and there has been a noticeable ab- sence of enthusiasm. This evening a bonfire was built and a respectable crowd was ad- dressed by several orators amid the popping of firecrackers. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. Sermerretp, l., June 26.—The Demo- erats held a ratification meeting to-night - which was largely attended. Addresses were made by Gen. Join M, Palmer, Gen. J. A, McClernand, the Hon. J. C. Robinson, and i Mavison. Wis., June 26.—Posters for a Hancock and English ratifieation-neeting were profusely scattered over the city to- day. AtTp.m, the cannun commenced to boom and the band to play. Not over 200 people gathered in the Assembly Chamber, full half of whom were Republicans drawn there out of curiosity and to hear the elo- quent Col. Vilas recount the history of the Cincinnati Convention, U._ Pinney was made Chairman, who made a few remarks and introduced J. C. Gregory, one of the immortal twenty who changed for Hancock. He made a few comtortable remarks, and gave way to ‘Col. F. Vilas, who, as usual, made an eloquent speech. At the close of the silver-tongued lonel’s remarks the band struck up ‘* Yan- kee Doodle,” and fully half of the audience marched out of the hall, leaving 100 people auld 200 empty chairs for Mr. Burr W. Jones to speak to. He commenced by attempting tosmirch the character of Gen. Garfield by charging on him aJl the Democratic lies as Divine truth, and then hoping for a cam- palgn absent from’ personalities, and closing ry excuse for the non-attendance of the Demo- erats that it was too hot,—an excuse which will probably follow the Democracy through the campaign. WHEELING, W. VA. Wueersre, W. Va., June 26.—The Demo- erats held a ratification meeting on Capitol square this evening. The meeling was ad- dressed by Gov. Matthews, the Hon. J. IL Good, Congressman Ben Wilson, and others. While a safute was being fired in the early part of the evening the cannon burst, killing Aman named McCarthy and a boy named Nidert. MILWAUKEE.

Three large omnibusses were provided for accommodation of the party, and, headed by the Germania orchestra, the cavalcade first called at Mr, Chase’s residence, 181 Howe street. After music by the band, Mr. Frank Cunningham, who had been selected as the spokesman of the party, called Mr. Chase to the steps of his house, and, addressing him on behalf of his attendant friends, said: “We come here, sir, to compliment you on the position which you assumed on the floor of the Cincinnati Convention and for the part pou took in nominating as earer of the Democratic party the hero of three wars, the soldier-statesman, Gen: Han- cock [applause], whom the people propose to residential chair. of superlative worth was evidenced in his administration as Governor of Louisiana, where declared that the military must always be subordinate to the civil power of In his nomina- ainly discerned the certain return of fraternal feeling throughout fhe country, for with iin as. leader di impossible.” (App use.} Cunningham indorsed the nomination by = in!

PURELY POLITIC, The Cleveland Anzeiger says: Hancock owes his nomination to h Was record. The Democratic. party simply piney him up a3 a candidate because it thinks it an cellent opportunity by such a movement to shake off the’ curse which is attached to ita gar. ments since the days of the Rebellion. We do ‘not consider Hancock's nomination the aren? est which the Democratic party couid hats made.

In case of Grant's or Blaine’s-nominution Hancock might be consiq. ered the next President; as it is, Garfield wil) be the man. NO STATESMAN, Ore The Milwaukee Frete Presse, after aw knowledging that Hancock’s record as asoh dier is excellent, continues as follows: The times and the political situation demang more than ever the election of a statesman to the office of Chief Magistrate of the United States. Gen. Huncock is decidedly not a statec man. The very idea which animated the Dem. ocratsto nominate him satisfies and demon. strates to us that he is not the proper mab for the position. In convention assembled they thought to influence the pablus mind in ‘their favor .by tendering tl! nomination soldier. Little | did-. they - understang opinion and it# current. They thought that their Joyalty, their patriotism, their love of couutry needed an indorsement, which could be given in no more Satisfactory manner than to nominate a man who was a patriot and a soldier at the time when neariy all of them were Rebels. They did not trouble themselves in the least abogt his qualifications for the office, which in the @ of the political situation deserved all consideration. They wanted a strong candidate, because they needed him; whether he was qualified or not disturbed them but little. The people should eee in Gen, Haneock the soldier only who distinguished himself during the War, and who could not be accused of having fought on or acted in any form with the other side.

Gen Hancock may be a very good rn, but he could not, in case of his election, stem'the reactionary movements of the Bourbons. The Democratic pelicans and demagogs would soon have im in their power for ull their sinister ends and purposes. Perhaps this is one of the main rea- sons why Demoeratie leaders consented so readily to the nomination of Hancock, who fs no more acquainted with poultioal fe, its machina- tions and aspirations, than the maz in the moon, a A KNOW-NOTHING. The Westliche Post says: “A statesman” was the article the Demo cratic press demanded. Nothmg less would do them. This was before the nomination. After the nomination they bellow themselves hoarse for an obscure man, about whose position oa the tariff, fluance, and other important questions “nobody knows nothing.” Only the Southerners know him. . They called him the “hang- man” of Mrs. Surratt. They looked upon him us the: most obnoxious Genera! in the: Union even more detestable than “Beast” Butler.
