Mrength of Tilden’s Democratic Opponents Put Sn°a New Light by Senator Laning. THE DELEGATION TO ST. LOUIS. Uncle Samuel Sure of a Large Majority of the Delegates from This State. WHICH SECURES HIM NEW YORK’S SEVENTY VOTES Why the Majority are in His Favor and the Minority against Him. — OPINTONS OF ALL THE PUES ASR EES: DELEGATES, A few days beforo the Cincinnati Convention inter. views held by special Heranp correspon ‘lents with the delegates to Cinemnati from every Congressional dis- trict of this State were published in the Huratp show- ing the preferences of each delegate, We publisn to- day interviews held by the same corresponients with all the delegates from this State to St Louis. While they indicate that Governor Tilden Js the first choice ofthe majority of the dolegation (with Seymour not considered in tho field) it will be noticed that many of tho delegates who deélare for the Governor do so in a very lukewarm way. However, as the Utiea Conven? tion instructed the delegation to vote at St, Loutsas the majority should dictate, the fact that the majority + declares for Tilden assures him the full seventy votes on the first ballot at least, and on every other ballot so long as the majority stands by him, as it evidently will while he has a chanco of getting nominated, provided always that Seymour dors not become a bona fide can- | aidate, Indeed it is hardly necessary to say that under the unit ‘rule, even though thirty-four of the seventy votes of the delegation were solid against him. on every ballot, so Jong as *birty-six remain faithful to him he will get tho full benellt of the eatire voto of the delegation. Neverthcless, the knowledge of the fact that there are severa! delegates from his own State oppoced to him openly, and others of them at heart against him though outwardly favorable to him, may have an influence on delegates from other Statea which may possibly be injurious to him, at least at the start, | at St. Lows. The foliowing are tho interviews :— DELEGATHS AT LARGE, Wrut1am DorsurixkR—I consider Governor Tilden the strongest possible candidate that could be nominated. He 1; my frst choice, and as I feel perfectly confident that he will be nominated I have not even thought of any other choice. The mwasses of the democratic party are for Tilden, and he is opposed in this State by those only to whom bis vigorous reform policy was. burttal. If nomivated, which I firmly believe he will be, he will ve triumphantly elected against any republican candi- date. Hxsry C. Murpry—I intend to go to St. Louis to do what I deem best for the interests of the democratic party. As things now look I think Governor Tilden ts by far the most available candidate, and that, flespite the ill feeling of a few men in this State against him, he would be’ certain to carry this State, the carrying of which will, in my opinion, settle the election. So long as Governor Tilden, whose namo the Utica Convention suggested should be presented by the New York deigation t# tho National Convention at St. Louis, has a chance there of In case he should fail of a nomination my choico will be the mext best man. : Apnam S. Hewitt, a warm supporter of Samuel J. Tilden, when asked as to his views, sald he had no loubt the delegation would vote asa unit for Mr. Til- fen until they saw no earthly chance of his nomina- Mon; at least he (Mr. Hewitt) should.etand by Mr. Til- ten to the last, He tavored him for personal reasons, but, even outside of such a Consideration, he would advocate bis nomination on the ground ot expediency. No other man was so Jikely to be elected. Mr. Tilden wasthe only public man who has yet clearly and dis- linctly met the demands of the people for empbatio reform and retrenchment as sown in his reduction of the taxes, Some of his friends had been over-zealous, Mr, Hewitt thought, in pushing bis canvass, He said his triends, beeause he knew that Mr. Tilden bad not had time to work for himself, as he had been busy examining bills every day since the State Legislature adjourned. He had hardly had time to read the news- papers. Mr. Hewitt, when asked what candidate ho should support in case Mr. Tilden withd:ew or conld not be nominated, answered that he had not enter- Aained such a contingency as Mr. Tilden beimg out of the field, and he could not, therefore, say who would be his next choice. Senator Tharman would mako a splendid President, and 80 would Senator Bayard. It didn’t follow because the Ohio State Convention had gone for Governor Allon that. Mr. Thurman would be unavailable at St. Louis. He is asensible, sate and good man, with afine judicial mind. As to Mr. Bay- trd, be thoagh the Senator from Delaware an avail- able man, too. Mr. Bayard was iuckily old enough to de President, but he was young enongh, too, to wait, {n conclusion, Mr. Hewitt reiterated his belief that Mr. Tilden was ‘the best man, the strongest man,"” Francis Kersax is known as a strong Tilden man.

The main question the people will in their minds at the ext election will be admimstrattve reform, and the party that does not show by its record atthe Nomina- ling Convention thatreform is really intended will bave to go under. My fecond choice would depend apon a great many circumstances, which would be nade apparent only atthe Convention tn case Tildea failed to get nominated. At all events, the St. Lows Convention will not ta joss for good candidates, no Matter what bappens. THIRD DISTRICT, Winusas ©.

SIXTH DpTRICT. 8. 8. Cox is enthusinsticaily for Seymour, who, he thinks, would sweep New York like a whirlwind; but, being a delegate, he feels that he should be com- mitted to bo mgn, but vote for the best and most available candidate regardless of rsonal preferences or likings. Next to Seymour, Mr. Cox speaks eulogisticaily of Governor Hendricks, who has render-d him great services in the past, and tor whose character and abilities he entertains the profoundest admiration, As to any third choice Mr, Cox 18 pot willing to say that he has any in particular, bas speaks im terms of warm commendation of Thorman and thinks ita great pity that bas been slaughtered in the bouse of bis friends, Mr. Cox is opposed to Governor Tiiden because thinks the latter would net be acceptable to W and more especiaily w Ohio democrats, who believe that he tried vo promote their defeat lust fall, and he thinks that the disafiéctiéu among the New York democracy is strong aud sericus, because the honest democrats of New York have not recerved their well earned reward of patron- age. A certam amount of “grease,” in Mr. Cox's opinion, is necessary to run the party muchivery, and that grease is such hovestly carved patronage, Al- though primarily in favor of Seymour, Hendricks or Thurman, and oppose to Tilden, Mr. Cox will un. doubtedly vote for the inst named’ gentleman if be should find that such is the will of the Convention aud of the democracy of the country. s Fox could not ve found when sougbt for.

Tilden has shown rare moral courage by exposipg the disdoncst combination in his own purty, ana for this reason he is regarded by the people as a practical mau and one who will thoroughly reform our pational administration. EIGUTA DISTRICT, Epwarp I, Doxneity does not know who he will vote for, He is holding of unti he gets to st.

Mr. Tilden, above all mon in the state, he Oy rere have the nomination, In his opinion he has done more tor the good name of the party and strengthened it in the eyes of the peoplo by his reform policy. which required unusual courago a8 well as skill to carry out, than any other democraue candidate known to be in the field his done by any act or service to the party for years, If Mr. Tiiden’s nom- ipation should not bo porsible he says he will vote for that candidate who will be uble to carry the State, and who cau show outaide strength enough to give him reasonable hopes of an election as President; but who that candidate may be he cannot tell, as the develop- ments at St, Louis, im case Mr. Tilden’s chances tatl, would intluence hit to a great extent in making up his mind ag to the next best man. N. GLowackt is. a warm advocate of Govornor Tilden, Tle says he will go to the Convention to vote for him so long us Mr. Tilden has the least chance of a nomina- tion.

This is a mistake, Governor ‘ilden, I candidiy velleve, can carry this State against any republican, Ag for the opposition of the King, that is mere talk. What 18 called the Canal King does not consist-of over 100 men all told. Their open opposition to Tilden would in my opinion be to his benelit. Whether the men charged with canal trands are guilty or not, they are ander a ban, and they can hot make an active campaign against him without drawing over to bis sido men who inight otherwise be indiflerent to his success, The Canal King's political strength is greatly exaggerated. As I have alreaay fnid, it does not comprise over 100 men, and they aro about cqually divided between she two parties.

The muin issue in the Pres tial canvass, after all, will be that of administrative reform. Governor Til- den will go mto the Convention as a strong representa- tive of that element of the party who are in carnest for reform, and opposition to such a representative by the Canal Ring or any class under suspicion would be to him an addivonal element of strength, 1 belseve that | Governor Seymour is sincere in stating that he dovs not want to be a candidate, But it i@ possible, if Gov- ernor Tilden could not be nominated, and that the Convention should deem it a necessity to nominate Mr. Seymour, aud it they should nominate him by accla- mution, that fhe could be forced to accept. I think tho reagon why he deciines to be a candidate is that he dis- trusts his physical ability to endure the heavy task ‘that would be imposed upon him as President for four years, Crremius Tornance is of the same mind his col- league, Mr. Laning, a8 to Governor Tilden's strength. He believes that the delegation trom this State shou d at 8. Louis exert every legitimate influence possivie to secure his nomination. Despite any opposition that he has aroused against bimsell by his battio with the Ca- nal Ring, Mr. masses of the party, and, if nominated, he feels cont. dent tbat he would be elected, Who his second choice would be, in case Mr, Tilden does not secure enough votes to give hin the nomination, would vo determined altogether by circumstances at the Con- vention, He would vote for the man whose nomina- tion, in his opinion, would best serve the Interests of the whole country.

The 106th Commencement of Rutgers College takes place during the coming week, but the proceedings be. gan to-night with the baccalaureate sermon by Prest- dent William H. Campbell, D, D, The sermon was listened to by a large audience, composed of the stu. dents and their Iddy friends and the frionds of the col- ege. Tho large church was crowded, was handsomely decorated with flowers and the exercises were en- livened with excellent choral music. The sermon was delivered by President Campbell, upon the text taken from Psalms, exxvi., 5, 6—"They that sow in tears shalt reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejote. ing, bringing bis sheaves with him.” " Here, began the learned Doctor, under the fgare of @ sower of seed, Christian effort is described and its en- tire suecess assured. Let me, then, in accordance wito this figurative language, speak to you of the seed, the sowing and the harvest of the Church, THE SERD. Thisis the Gospel, the glad tidings of merey and blessings for men which God makes known. It is the news of pardon of sin and freedom from its power, Itis the announcement from heaven that what was and is impossible with man 18 possiblo novonly with God, but it bas been already accomplished by God and shall be ngain and again upon every sinful man who will have the whole work wrought in his soul, For man must have God's salvation in his en- tirety or he cannot have tt atall. If sin is pardoned the soul ja also renewed. The whole curso is to be wiped out; the whole work of ‘the devil destroyed; God's image ts to be renewed; the relations of man ta his Maker are to be restored. The disposition to dis honor God, injure man and destroy oneself ts to give piace 10.2 dispositiqn to honor God, love his {fellow man and seek one’s own true good. The Gospel alsa magnifies divine mercy and power by telling us how all these great results are effected, To bring it to pass the Son of God has become the subatiine of sinful men, has borne for them the curae Uf sin, paid all the penalty of the broken law, and fulfilled all the demands of that holy law io behalf’ of those who could not fullil it for thouselves. But it is not simply salvation prepared, salvation proviued. Itasail that and far moro; it is saivation applied. Christ, who provides, also applies, Nay, more, Christ Himself is tho salvation, Christ becomes one with the sinner; dwells within him; becomes his spiritual hie, the author aud souree of all bis spiritual action, In a word, as St. Paul declares, “Christ mm the Christian is the hope of glo (Col., 4, 27.) Here is the adequate cause for ry. . all the necded effects, and au assurance of the perma- nence of these good eflects. Tho work will not stog short on account of the tmperfection of man, forall depends ov the all-sufficiency of God. Here there can- not be failure or shortcoming, for not only auca Almighty Power undertake but the Eternal Son ves comes surety unto the Eternal Father on the behali of every sinner who believes Mim.

Not because the work 18 irk: some to them and they woird gladiy be freed from the toil. ‘They would not have a discharge if it were offered to them, and they regard their sow- ing under Olrist asa bigher honor than is grantedoto 1a, Nor do they weep because of the sacritice they o make in giving up the honors, pleasures aud riches of the worid. They rejoice 10 be poor for His sake, who, though He was rich, became poor for teu, Nor’ uo’ they weep lor the persecutions they are called upon to endare for Christ.

But the teura are shed because ot the Christin’s deep Interest for the weltare of tho world; nis grief if becuse of iho mdiflerence of meu to their own saivation. They have the spirit of the Son of Man, the great sower, who | wept over Jerusalem, And again they weep from a consideration of which Christ bas in experience, vin, :-~ A fearing lest their want of prayer, faith, wisdom, ears nestness in or consistency may be to blame in causing blindness of mind and hardness of & art in others And yet, whether with condempatory or approving consciousness, the sower still weeps, because so lew seein to believe the Gospel and to so low is the arm of the Lord revealed. Muititudes aro per shing, and few beheve the sowers’ ery, as from the early dawn to the late evening they encircie the earth in their sowing. The Church sows im the morning and withholds not the hand in the evening. Its commission is to preach the Gospel to every creature. whorever the toot of mao has gone bearing the curse, there the Christian, sower follows with love and pity in heart, bringing to the lost that which will tree fun from bis woe, THE WARVEST.
