KENTUCKY. : THE DELEGATION DIVIDED BETWEEN HARD AXD SOFT MONEY—FOR FIRST CHOICE TILDEN, HENDRICKS OR “OLD BILL ALLEN'’—aAaVAILA- BILITY THE TEST. Lovravitum, June 17, 1876, As the Kentucky democrats failed to make known tn Convention their views as to the Presidential candi- dates | Bought out those who will represent the Ban- ner State at St. Louis and conversed concerning their choices for the Presidency. Upon one point they are all agreed—something remarkabie for Kentucky demo- erats—they ali want an “out and out man;” that is to fay. © democrat in every sense of the term. Upow another point they are not so well agreed—the money question; some are bard and some are sott, mainly so om the question 6! fnanco, but not exclusively, as these qualities are among the most prominent of many Ken- tucky democrats. Observe what (hey had to say to Sowe Inquiries by a Hexatp exeminer:— THE DELEGATES AT LARGE. Colonel W. C. P.

Rice, of Lawrence county, {s for the winning man. Does not think Tilden i that man. Rather leans to the soit money side and Hendricks. Goes to St, Louis unpiedged, and will what he thinks for the best interests of the and the country. Huxny Wattersos is jediy for Tilden, aud in all lnkeibood will so convince many of the delegates before they reach St, Louis that they will be loath to acknow!- edge their preference was ever for anybody but the great reformer. Wits B, Macuiy is anex-United States Senator, soft money man, and for William Alleu and Hendricks. VIRST DISTRICT, Judge J. M. Bicore, of McCracken county, a lawyer by profession, delegate elect {rom the above district, i for Govornor Heuuricks, of Indiana, first, because Gov- ernor Hendricks isin his opinion a good democrat uad the most availaole man, Governor Alien, of Quito, is his second choice for the same sort ofreasons. If he could pot get either of these two he would pin bis faith to Tourm«nift he shoutd be put forward. James B. GaRwart, of Trigg county, State Senator, coincides fuily with Judge Bigger’a view and has the same preferences. SRCOND DISTRI 4 a lawyer of Hetiderson, in the Sec: ond district, Was next interrogated—Tilden is my first chvice, because he tne mau of the most aviity and ‘ava:avility, and [like bis views on the currency question and bis record as a reformer, I think bis chances tor the nomination are the best of aby candidaie yet spoken of Governor Hendricks is my second choice, His Views upon fivance and reform are not so deciued us Tiidea’s, bur still there 18 no ob- jection to him, I would support him cheertully alter Tilden, My third choice would be Bayard, bui whe 1 comes to a third choice 1 am in favor of avy good man.

Witutam W.

Aiter these “a good democrat and the winning hoss, bat no man south of Mason & Dix. on’s line.’? Mr. Burton is of the firm opinion that Tilden is the most available man. He also favors hard money, but Wonts as little said as possible on that subject, except As to the repeal of the Kesump ion act, After Tilden will be guided entirely by circumstances. FIFTH DISTRICT. Judge W. B. Hoxe, of Louisville—I am wholly wntram- metied as toany man. Personally 1 am friendly to Hend. | nicks. | think .e is the best man and that bis chances of securing the nominaton are good. It is absolutely ne ry to tho suecess of the party that it should take aman who can carry Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyi- vania, and I think Hendricks 1s the strougest man named in those three Stmies, taken asa body, I ad- mire Tilden and his record, but the fear of the West. ero men 18 that he js ander the influence of Wall street and the bondholders, He a my second choice, un- Jess—well, I am not wedded to any man, My desire 18 to get aN unobjectionable mao, who can carry the Western States, as well ak York. Idou’t know that Tilden couid do that, 1 am for the most available man. Am ready to go with my State, 1 favor the re- peal of the Resumption act. Gorge P. Dorey, editor of the Louisville Anzeige names Tiiden as tirst choice agai: the field; and is contident that he will win, He does not like Hendricks because he signed the Baxter Liquor bill. Mr. Doern thinks Tilden is good enough for him, and will stick to him all the way through. If he does not get the nomi- nation Mr, Doern will be guided by circumstances as to who will be bis second choice. SIXTH DISTRICT. This district will be represented by General Lucivs Destta, now a flery farmer of seventy, with the eye of an eagle and the voice of a lion, but’ formerly a well known military ehieltain, His fellow delegate is Rov Peery, euitor of the Carroiton News.

Judge Duvall is for Tilden, because be considers bim the strongest and most available candi- date. For second choi he will take Hendricks, and for third Bayard, Judge Duvall inclines toward hard coin. FIGHTH, DISTRICT, Nat Gartarr and A. T. Cuenxavut represent the bib district. Nathaniel 1s a big man and belongs to the Good Templars, though he transgresses their r¥les ‘occasionally, generally when conventions are im order, He was a little mixed, I think, when be informed me he is for “Eaioo, of’ Connecticut, for President, first and last,’ though he may help out Tilden Hendricks, Mr Gaither is a lawyer and ex-Secretary ot State. His colleague is A. T. Chenault, a jolly, good-natured old mountaimeer of a teliow. He hasn't heard the news for sometime and comes up for ‘old Tam Hen'ricks next and the rip fire-eating Joe Blackburn third.” Why, he roarin can’t say. NINTH DISTRICT. ALExaxpER Martix, of Floyd, where he practices law, and Jouy Disnmax, of Knox, a local politician, will doubtless back up “Old Bill Ailen,”” At least they are inclined that way now, Should William go over- Voard they will back up Hendricks, but should the rest of the Kentucktans lean to Tilden, Dis mau and Martin y body else. THE TENTH DISTRICT ‘will send as delegates A. J. Marktxy, a merchant of Bracken county, and Dr, James SHacKREL¥ORD, of Mason county, Dr, Shackelford pronounces very decided preterence for Tilden, inclines to Hendricks for second and Bayard jor third choice. Mr. Markley ts juchned to take Hendricks first, Tilden second, and will stand on Bayard as third choice. MISSOURL THR DELEGATION DIVIDED—HENDRICKS WILL HAVE FOURTEEN VOTES AND TILDEN BIX ON THE FIRST BALLOT. Sr. Lovrs, June 16, 1876 A few weeks ago, before the assembling of the Missouri Democratic Convention on the ist uit, almost the entire sentiment of the party was in favor of Hendricks, This was evidenced by the fact that every democratic paper in the State, with two or three exceptions, bad warmly espoused th» cause of the Indiana statesman. A wonderful and sudden change came over the papers, however, and whea the Conven- tron embled it was mai that Hendricks had rap- idly waned. It was true a plurality of the delegates seemed to be for bim, but the interest in bis beball was lukewarm, The enthusiasm was gone, and there was quite a prevalent opinion, even among bis supporters, that be lacked availability, The charge was boldly made by the more intemperate champions of Hen- dricks that this change bas been mduced by the disin- bution of Tiden money; that Tilden had sent a barrel of money to Missyurt to ve placed where “it would do the most good,” but of this tnsinaxiion there ts at Jeast no authentic proof. ‘Toe delvgates elected were uninstructed, At first 1t was announced that Tilden had captured the Conven- tion; then it was said Hendricks had the nominal majority of delegates, but that Tilden occupied sach vantage ground that he could easily control the entire vote when the crisi¢ came. The truth is, no onc knew how the deiogates stood, Most of them were not atthe Convention, and even the Congressional District Com- mittoes that nominated the delegates had ouly a gen- oral idea of the Prosidential preforences. The dele gates ars nearly all representative men, and their action in the National Convention was left entirely to fF own judgment apd discretion, Wuh a view of Jearning exactly how each de egate leaned as ‘o first, second and third choice for President, your corre Spondent has spent several days in various portions of the Stato, and xow presents to the readers of the Henatp the result of personal interviews held with those who will represent Missouri in the Democratic tional Convention. ‘ THE QRLEGATRS AT Lana. EX-Governor Sita8 Woovsos isan uncompromising Hendricks partisan. He is, as be said tothe Herat Correspondent, for Hi joks ‘first, lat and all the time.’ Said bo:—Hendricks is the most traly repre- sentative man who bas yet been mentioned for the position; at least he is the only ono who suits the Western people, 1 will advocate Hendricks in the Convention as long us there isa ray of hope, Should he prove absvlutely unavailavie, my secoud choice will be Hancock and my third Thurman. | toiok Hancock Will make an excelient candidate, Though a military man. he proved by his administration of affairs at New Orleans that he believed im the subserviency of the military to ctvil law.”” Governor Caances H. Harpr stated that his pref- @rence was ior Hendricka He bad so openly avowed two months before the State Convention met. He was profoundly convinced that Hendricks would bo found available, but in the contrary event his second choice would be Tilden und his third Hancock. Mr. Srinsos Hurcnts is the sharpest and best in- formed politician in the State, and he shortly denied to your correspondent that he had any preferences whatever. He vehemently denied that any money had been used by Tilden to advance his prospecis in Misseuri, Said be:— “While I have no Presidential preterence, I am iree to way ee ee choice would be Hendricks, but 1 now regi endricks as practically out of the race. df Tourman bad not becn beaten in Onio I would be emphatically tor him. In fact, L now think Mr. Tuar- inan is the fuost available man, with ‘fildem next. If Tilden and Tburman e both found unavailable 1 would doubtless be in of populur feeling with dates has been very peculiar. Firat Alien stood in high favor at the West. It was found that his currency views were 80 obnoxious to Kastern people as to make him unavailable. A step in advance was made, and the West settled on Hendrieka He was very popular for a while, but tbe hostulty of the East toward him compelied another ad- vance toward liberalism on ihe currency question. ‘Thurman was the next Westerner who was put forward as the democratic candidate who could carry the coun- try by storm. The question now is whether the purty will take Thurman, wi @ disadvantage of lis recent deivat in Obio, or advance to the ground occupied by Tilden and ace: pt the New York reiormer as the saud- campaign.”' Mr, Hutchins bad a very asa returmer, but would neverthe- Jesa cueeriully vove for him, He charged bim with | being, like Bristow, ‘‘an artistic reformer’’—more ue- voted to reform as a means of advancing his own intor- est than those 0) the country. .

A Henatp correspondent, on visiting the delegates of the Fifth district, R. Spain ANDERSON and Daviv New- | MAS, found the two gentlemen Were dissimilar as to their favorites. Mr. Anderson admitted that his personal inclinaions would induce him to sapport Hendricks, but he has sume fears of bis avatlubihty, and believing Thurman to ve much the superior of the two in that re- spect, his first choice would therefore be for thurman, second for Hancock and third tor Tilden, Mr. New- mun will support Hendricks, with Bayard tor second and Tilden tor third choice.

The democratic delegagion of this State was elected by the State Central Committee at Carson last week, and is not nearly as strong intellectually as their op- ponents of the republican side, although every member is a gentleman of good social and professional standing. The delegution consists of A. C. Ellis, Carson; John G Kaneen, Mayor of Virginia City; R, BP. Ke By Gold Hill; John CG Fall, Unionville; Ro E, Kelley, Carson, and John H. Donnis, Bureka, ho delegation is pledged. only to the observance of democratic principles. in the resolutions adopted on the day the delegation was elected was a very strong one against further Chinese immigrat'on, and I do not doubt that the delegation will centre on the candidate who declares himself in favor ot a treaty regulating Chinese immigration to this coust, The Chinese nuisance ha: become almost intolerable bere. There are at present 200,000 of theze pests on the Pacific coast, and the number 1s increasing at the rate of 3,000 a month. They are not only the dregs of their own country, but absolutely the vilest specimens of buman- ity in the world.

What One Who Knows Him Thinks of Him. A GREAT POLITICAL TACTICIAN. The Style of Oratory That Makes Converts. MRS. HAYES AND CHILDREN. CoLoxsvs, Ohio, June 19, 1876, During these summer days the Governor’s reception room in the State Capitol is as cool and pleasant a place ‘to sit down and while away the sultry hours as may be found anywhere, The chamber is broad and spacious, and the great granite walis shut out the heat as well as the noise of the busy city close’ at band. There are easy chairs and lounges, soft Brussels carpets, and the eye looks ont through the heavily recessed windows on wide green lawns aud waving foliage, while in the near Gistance the tide of busy ife, like a panorama, moves aiong the broad avenue of High street; but witnin these granite walls its murmurs are silent to the ear. Tt was here I sat this morning talking to Captain Aifred E. Lee, and the subject of our conversation was Gov. | ernor Hayes, the republican candidate tor President of the United States. The Captain snowed me a lengthy sketch of the Governor's life, which bad been very recently printed. It dealt entirely with the services of the Governor in the war and his subsequent | political carcer, but I waned something else, 1 wanted to know somethiug of the manner of the man and whom he married and how he lived and how many children he had, &c. I was speaking to ONE WHO KXew HIM, as the saying goes, like a book, und I learned that Gov- ornor Hayes, without any pretence to be thought so, iw one of the best tacticians that ever Jed a party Ina political campaign, and the way he laid out the demo- ratio party Inst fall by the most unassuming skill has never been properly kiown and’ appreciated. It was tact of the bighest kind, and only a fine student of poltics could have made the same display. In his three campaigns a Governor he invariably mapped out the plang and pointed out the policy to be pursved. His victorios are called accidental and the result of blind luck, but to any one who has studied the part hhayes played there ws another way of accounting for them. Few are aware what a PERSUASIVE POWER OF SPEAKING Hayes possesses, It is not eloquence in the sense of rhetorical declamation, but it is eloquence in the sense of presenting an argument with so much simplicity that the most ordinary mind can feel its force and ap- plication. His speeches always made votes. He brought more converts to his side last fall than all the other speakers put together. Helis not a declaimer, He never tries the ordinary claptrap of the stump. His method appears to be to concentrate all bis faeul- ties on a few points, just as you might take a ‘burning glass and concentrate the sun’s rays on a given object. | He never wanders away from the subject in hand like the majority of speakers, He makes use of no fine language, but, on the contrary, adheres to the home. liest bughsh, Another source of his strength in a campaign is that while he te a faithful partigan he acts with uncommon liberality to his opponents. He dis- arms them by his courtesy, yet never shrinks an inch from his position or his principles. THR AVERAGE PARTY ORATOR cannot, to save his life, resist the temptation to have a fling at his opponent or the opposing party. This often comes of a lack of ideas, and abuse 1s substituted for argument. Hayes never does that He is the most chivalrous of campaign speakers. See how kindly and gencrously he speaks of Thurman and Hendricks and Bayard and Tilden, and he bas no offensive epithets to level at the Soath. The word rebel he seldom uses, In short, he i the Sir Philip Sidney of party politics. Again, no one has ever found him rushing into print or even on the stump replying to any calomay Uttered against him, Here he showed both wisdom and self poise. How many men are taken off tb: guard and made ridiculous in replying by letter to the bascless slanders of zome unprincipled schemer. To whatever dispar- aging things were said against him in bis three cam- paigns for Governor he never responded. A PRW MORE POINTS, He never sought an office in his life, and goes into | the White House—that is, if he ever goes—entir pledged. He believes, with Thomas Jefferson, ‘bat the individual should not seek the office, but, rather, that the office should seek the individual. He made no effort of any kind whatever to secure the nomina- tion he has received. Hundreds of letters wore writ- ten to him offering him support in the Convention to secure him the nomination, and he declined to answer them. In making pp the Ohio delegation 1t was ap- prehended that men in favor of Blaine or Morton would geton and so manipulate it that he (Hayes) would be left out in the cold. His friends advised him to look after the thing and prevent such a consamma- tion, but he steadily declined to interfere, ana down to he iast day of the Conveution he never,’ by word or way = that he J le went into the army as a private, an event which Lappened in this way:—Staniey Mathews, of cH nati, aud Hayes were old schoolfellows, aud when the war broke out they agreed to raise a regi- ment between them.

Mrs. Hayes went to schoo! iV rsity of Delaware, in this State, and completed ber education at the Wesleyan Female College in Cincinnatt, Incidentally I might relate that when the commencement took place at this | college last week on one of the days of the Convention the twenty-nine girl groduates wore Hayes badges out of compliment to a former student, whose husband's name was the choice of Ohio for President. Mrs. Hayes is a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, her maiden name being Lucy Ware Webb, daughter of Dr. James Webb jaria Cook, of Chillicothe.

The Union League Club held a special meeting las evening, im the theatre of the club house, to ratify the nominations of the Cinciunati Convention. Mr. Joseph H. Choate, President of the Club, presided. After thi call for the meeting, which was signed by Joseph Selig- man and forty-three others, had been read, Mr. Choate opened the business of the meeting with a short, stir ring speech in advocacy of the republican nomina tions. y CHOATR’S SPRECH, Ho said that, in accordance with the established cum tom of the club, the members had been called together to consider and respond tu the nomination made by the great and historical party, with whose principles and purposes the club had always sympathized ang | acted. The result of the Convention was one, he said, to bring rejoicing enthusiasm te the hearts o all persons who had ever acted with the repub jtean party. Republicans bad cause for congratulation not only from what was done at Cincinnail but fron the mapner and the spirit m which it wasdone. Thi great thing was that the party bad presented for th suffrages of the people two racn of spotless characte: and distinguished position, fur whom every republicar can give his vote with a clear conscience and hearty enthusiasm. In his judgment the result was all (bh greater because it had been achieved by the triumph of the conscience and character of the party over the plots and plannings of its managers. It would mot be out of place to refer, he said, to the history of the struggle in the Convention and its Onal culmination, He thought that one of the greatest results of the Con- vention was that the independent and unselfish mem‘ bers of the pariy, who, after ail, constitutea nine- tenths of the whole orgaaiza‘ion, were called upon bo cause of the excellence of the ticket to goto tho {rom and support it with all their might and main Those, he said, who were familiar with the politics of the city could not have forgottes that the great body of the republican party at larg: had for a long time but very litle to do with their own affairs, which were kindlygtaken care of and con- ductea by a few enthusiastic and unselfish men, The 40,000 republican votes had been handled and controtled with very lite consulta'ion on the parts of the original owners, For one be felt that fur the last four years the majority of the republicans of this city bad not had much mare to do with. ‘THE NOMINATIONS OF THE CANDIDATES of the party than they had to select the Pope ot Rome or the Sultan of Turkey. The members of the club had naturally chafed uador this wholesale excinsive- ness, and two or three weeks ago the club, by a unani- mous vote, objected to the intolerable thraldom, and had advocated free speech in a free Convention, ané the selection of nominees uncontaminated bi tho mistakes of the party. Prominent and lead- ‘mg members of the party declared it the height ot :m- pudence that tho club should have proclaimed its sym- pathies at As for himself, he waa gind that the elnb had taken that step of impudence, glad that it had sounded what had turned out to be the keynote of the party’s battle cry, Although the immediate result de- sired by the club was not attained, yet the voice of the independent republicans had made itself felt iz the Convention, and the stand taken by many dele gates from many States was gratifving to the club, for they had advocated exactly what had been sketched out by the clab’s resoiations What was the result? By the wisdom, intelligence and honor of the party men had been nominated at Cincinuati who had not sought for the nomination, but ¥ WHOM THE PROPLE WAD sovGuT.

The history of York for the pist twenty years showed tha sho was REPUBLICAN TO THE CORE, Her vote woula be given next fall to the recospizes leader and-champion of the party.
