convention, the New York correspondent of the
Boston Post writes: The strongest candidates
before the convention will be Pendleton, Hen
bricks and Hancock, and the opinion is pretty

ceded that Hendricks, on account of hiS expe-

record, would be worthy and popular candidate
Gen. Mcclellan, Governor Parker, Governor
Hsight, and Judge Sharswood, of Pennsylvania
will have friends in the convention, but neither is
likely to command much strength. From present
indications, the contest will be between Pendeton

trouble is that no convention should ever meet il
Chicago again."
