The Presidential fight seems narrowed down on
the first three or four ballots to Pendleton and Chase
The latter has gained rapidly during the day from
Hancock's friends, with the understanding that If
Chase cannot be nominated on the third or fourth
ballot that they will then support Hancock first for
President, and II defeated for that, then for Vice
President
Senator Hendricks being considered out of the
way, his supporters are mainly supporting Chase
except those from the West, who go for Pendleton.
From the Louisville Courier, July 81
August Belmont, the Chairman of the Democratic
COMMITTEE to the surprise of everybody, will appear
In the Convention as delegate. This shows that
the real plan of opposition to the favore OF the West
has not yet been developed There is great curiosity
manifested to know where he stands and who he is
for, and what trap he will spring. The wsest heads
say he is for Chase, though 1t is currently reported
that he has raised something less than hundred
thousand dollars in the interest OF Hancock.
Hendricks has written no letter of withdrawal He
maintains the same attitude that he has always ad-
v1sng his friends to act IN good faith for Pendeton,
and above all for harmony and Of the party
he is the second If not the first choice OF the East
and may prove to be the man. But If Mr.. Pendeton
be not nominated ut early stage OF the proceed
1ngs new man may be chosen.
