NEW YORK, July 3.-The excitement
Is Increasing hourly. Pendleton's
friends are loud in their expressions OF
confidence In his nomination. claiming
that he Is the only candidate they can
elect. They oppose Hendricks and
some say they viii bolt Chase. Sey-
mour Is their second choice. II is be-
lieved that they control over one hum
dred and sixty votes. Wash McLeon
and Judge Flynn, of Cincinnati, had a
private interview with Seymour. Ill
den, Church and Green, of New York.
Pendleton Is not to be pressed TO a split.
It is very likely that Seymour Will be
nominated by acclamation before six
ballots and forced to accept. A letter
from the New York bankers urges him
to accept. The Southern delegates favor
johnson, but Will accept the candi-
date and promise to work and vote for
his election. Hendricks friends are
confident that If; Seymour be nom
mated, Hendricks or Blair will be
Vice President. To-day Hancock
seems nowhere.
