Sr. Louis, June 28,—There was hot work last night in all the delegations, and the committee on resolutions, and the second day of the convention opens with an embit- tered feeling over the platform and the can- didates. THE ANTI-TILDEN FEELING has become so intense that it is probable that John Kelley will assail Tilden when his name is presented. If so there will bea lively Tow in the convention. Congress: and others charge that Tilden’s friends are using money with and furnishing railroad ses, elc., to delegates. On the otner hand, ew York democrats whose names have been issued in cireulars here against Tilden telegraph that they were improperly used, and that they will support ‘Tiiden. TILDEN NOT GAINING. The latter has not gainea materially since yesterday, and may possibly fatl yet to se- cure the requisite two-thirds vote.” Tae best estimate of the delegate vote this morning gives Tilden 450, Hendricks 125, Hancock 63, Allen 44, Bayard 32, Parker 18, Davis4.
