The question was taken on adjournment.
which was lost-yeas 142 IL nays 1912
The motion of New Jersey for a recess to Z
o'clock was made and lost.
The roll was then called on the 18th ballot.
FLORIDA gave her 3 to Hancock. When Illinois
was called Mr.. Richardson said his delegation
were instructed to vote as unit on the last
ballot and he should cast the vote as unit
though against his opinion, for Hendricks. A
delegate from Illinois demanding to be record
ed for Pendleton, Mr.. Richardson withdrew
the vote he had cast for the present. New
Jersey gave Hancock 8, Pendleton IL and
Parker IL. Tennessee cast her 10 for john
| son, ever faithful to one who was ever faithful
to his country. West Virginia gave Hendricks
g. Illinois announced her vote:-16 for Hen
bricks. One of her delegates again protested
that his vote should be recorded for Pendleton
| Another delegate wanted his vote recorded
from the second district of Illinois for Andrew
| johnson. -
The Chair-Mr. Price said that by an order
of the Convention the chairman of each dele
CATION was authorized to speak for the State.

gates from the second district Of Illinois insist
| ed as point of order that each delegate to the
| Convention had right to record his own vote
according to his own views and sentiments.
he moved resolution to that effect.
The Chair ruled the resolution out of order,
| because in contraventon of the rules adopted
| tor the government of the Convention. He
said that 1T had been decided in former con-
| ventions that each State delegation had the
| right to determine the vote of the delegation
as whole.
Mr.. Baya1d argued that this was strained
view OF the rules. This was a del:berative
| oody, and each delegate, he thought, had
| right to vote for himself.
Mr. Clymer, OF Pennsylvania read from the
proceedings of the Charleston Convention the
rule adopted there, which recognizes the right
OF each delegate to cast his individual vote, ex-
cept where State Convention has instructed
its delegation how to vote.
The delegate from the I'd District of Illinois
claimed his right under this rule to cast half a
vote for Andrew johnson, whom he eulogized
as deiendlng the constitutional rights of the
people. '7ti--l5"
Mr. Richardson stated that the Illinois State
convention instructed its delegation to vote as
unit they instructed them to vote for PEN
aieton; majority of the delegation have de-
cided TO go now for other distinguished gentle
men, and he considered it his duty to cast the
entire vote for the delegation

fusion.

PENDLEToNs NAME TO BE WITHDRAWN.
| Ii is known that dispatch has been receiv-
ed oy the Ohio delegation from Pendleton, d.
rectlng the withdrawal of his name as candi-
date before the Democratic Convention and
various reports as to its purports and the in
tentlons OF his supporters are in circulation
While it may be regarded as certain that his
name will be dropped Tomorrow, some say the
fendieton men will then propose the name of
MI. seymour and press it with viger. A few
tnlnk they will not in any event support
western man for the Presidency, as such
course would prejudice Pendleton q chances in
lS72 while there is very prevalent impression
That their aid will be given to English or some
other prominent Eastern candidate.
| THE CHASE MOVEMENT
A dispatch from Chase having been received
TO the effect that he can stand upon the plat
f0Im adopted yesterday, a meeting of the New
4 ork delegation was held this evening at which
1t was agreed by majority vote to start the
name OF the Chief Justice tomorrow. The
tremendous applause with which his name
was received when proposed by California to-
gay, indicates very large vote when his name
is formally put in nomination, and his chances
still look extremely favorable
THE CHANCES OF HANCOCK AND HENDRICKS.
1t is believed that both Hancock and Hem
bricks have about, if not quite reached the
the Presidency, though both have good look
for the Vice Presidency.
THE five POINTS" BULLY
1t is stated that John Morrsey has made
pet OF $4,000 that the ticket will be Chase and
Hancock.
FoRLoRN HOPE.
Notwithstanding the repeated and persist
eht defamation of the use of his name by Mr..
seymour, it does not seem that he is vet en-
tirely out Of the field, and should the Pendle-
Ton men, as indicated above. go strongly for
MN, the nomination may yet be given to New
York. No other names than those of Chase
ana seymour are much talked of tonight
though some of the friends of Hancock believe
he has still chance.
BLAIR TO BE BROUGHT OUT
Blair's friends may bring him out to NOR
row, Dut ne does not appear like winner.
MCCLELLAN AGAIN ON THE TRACK.
The single vote given Mcclellan to-day by
tennessee, has suggested bare possibility of
MS nomination. But though he has many
warm friends, 1t seems too slight to be seri-
ously thought of.
THE CONVENTION TO ADJOURN ON SATURDAY
The Convention is hardly likely to adjourn
before Saturday
