WHY PENDLEToN WILL NOT BE NOMI
MATED.

WHY PENDLETON WILL NOT BE NOMI-
MATED.
The outside pressure about the hotels
continues strong for Pendleton. A great
deal of bitter feeling begins to mingle
with it, as they see the efforts of the
East to defeat them. The mass of the
delegates still profess great confidence,
but six facts lead cool observers to
doubt Pendleton's success:
First. Indiana, in spite of all profes-
sions to the contrary, is not at heart
for Pendleton, and will embrace any
favorable opportunity to desert him
when she sees the chance to acco NJ
plish Something decisive by doing so.
Second. Six or eight Illinois dele
gates scarcely conceal their desire to OPP
pose Pendleton, although forced by
the instructions of their State Conven-
tion to vote as unit for him. They
claim the right, however, to vote as
they please on all other questions, and
are in open revolt on the effort of the
PendletOn men to force them to vote as
unit on everything. They are having
q caucus tonight to try to settle it, but
with Indifferent prospects of success.
These recusants in the Illinois delega-
tion hel p to give an appearance of un-
steadiness to the Pendleton column,
and will not fail to have their effect.
Third. Detection in the Wisconsin
and des ,rtion of the Michigan delega-
tions have broken the solid front of the
Northwest for Pendleton.
Fourth. The expected gains from
Southern States are only to be secured
by convincing them Of his strength at
the North, which the foregoing renders
it hard to do.
Fifth. One or two Pendleton leaders
are known to have been considering the
question of where they should 60 if
their favorite should be beaten, and
some of them have talked of cOncentra-
tion on English, who has been Pendle-
toms personal friend.
They have also declared their deter
mination to slaughter Hendricks in any
event, and sixth, Mr.. Vallandigham in
sists that while for the present he sup
ports Pendleton in good faith, be has
not surrendered his right of individual
| Judgment by going into the dele CATION,
and that after making a fair fight for
Pendleton he shall hold himself in read
mess to act in accordance with his
Judgment of what the best interests of
the party require.
Nevertheless the Pendleton men are
making gallant struggle and many Of
them are absolutely confident of success.
1t must be acknowledged that in many
respects their leaders are managing
very skillfully.
There are ugly rumors, however, from
their secret caucus tonight of dissatis-
faction at something or another on the
part of George Z. Pugh, who is said to
be likely to leave, and of disgust felt
by Judge Jewett and his followers at
the presence of Vallandigham in the
Convention. The latter was quite
prominent in various operations on the
floor to-day and evidently aspires to
the leadership of the Ohio delegation.
They are seeking all sorts of combina-
tions with Vice Presidential candidates
with the New Workers in the Hoffman
Interest; with the soldiers in the Han
! cock interest; with Connecticut in the
English interest, and SO on for quanti-
ty. They are fairly promising King
doms and Empires in return for votes
for Pendleton, and it is safe to say that
between this and the nomination, they
will make more bargains and keep fewer
of them than this trading city dreams
Of
The Herald tomorrow will contain
some kindly notices of Pendleton which
are supposed to have some political sig
uificance. .
II CHASE AGAIN.
The Chase movement is formidable
only in its possibilities. The Chase mel
are trying to prevent any votes for him
at the start. John j. Cisco, Van Buren,
and other New Workers, however, say
that at the proper time New York will
60 solid for him. 1t is almost certain
that in that event New England will
do the same. Gov. Seymour is known
to be pledged to 60 for Chase as soon 81
his support promises to be effective.
