the eager and enthusiastic thousands
who were unable to gain admission
AS the vast assemblage was again
subsiding to its wanted decorum, a
number Of members of the Mcclellan
Executive Committee, of New York
entered the hall with largo and
handsome banner, bearing portrait
of tho hero of Antietam, and the fol-
lowing emblasoned upon it in large
characters: mcclellan, our Coun-
try's Hope and Pride;" and eff l
cannot have the command of even my
own men all ask is to share their
fate upon the field of battle" The
Banner was carried to the canopy be-
hind the Presidents chair, where it
was elvated, amidstthe widest enthusi-
asm of tho people, on the sight of
that flag under which tho bravo and
gallant '1ittle Mac" gave such distin-
guished services to his country.
Gilmore's Band, from Boston, which
had been introduced upon the floor,
saluted the banner with "Hail to the
Chiefr' This, second time, invoked
the enthusiasm Of the audience, which
found expression as before in thunders
Of applause and in the waving OF hand
kerchiefs.
Considerable time was spent in
speech making, after which the con-
vention proceeded to the nomination
of candidate for the Vice Presiden-
cy, which resulted in the selection OF
George III Pendleton, Of Ohio, on the
second ballot by unanimous vote.
Several resolutions Of various kinds
were then adopted, after which, at
twenty minutes before three o'clock
the President declared the convention
adjourned, subject to the call of the
National Committee.
The assemblage broke up after Civ
ing nine rousing cheers for the ticket.
