time had passed, although a minority

to adhere further to the gentleman Of

their views upon the minority. In

nominated Thomas A. Hendricks.
Price, of Indiana, for the minority,
urged adherence to Pendleton He
expressed high respect for Hendricks,
but said the minority should not go
for him, because the State Convention

by Pendleton so long as there was
any reasonable hope of his nomina-
ton. Great cheers and some Kisses.
