HALF A VOTE FOR CHASE.
ITO Be Continued in Our Next


The Hall was filled in every part;
there were many ladies present. NO
The reading of the minutes of yester-
day were dispensed with.
Missouri called for the reading Of the
names of the National Executive Com
mittee, which was ordered. These were
given in the morning papers for all the
States except New York and California.
Mr.. Rice, of Missouri, resumed the
chair.
Mr.. Bayard, OF Delaware, said there
was some mistake about a name re-
corded for that State, and asked that it
be omitted in the call. He was sure
the name as published had not been
agreed to by the majority of the delega-
tion. The list was read; California
named John Bigler, and New York
named August Belmont.
Mr.. Fitch, of Indiana, rose to present
one of its most talented citizens as a
candidate before this Convention for
the nomination of President; one OF
the best and purest men of the nation.
Indiana had thought 1t right to cast her
vote u reasonable length of time for
PendIeton. In the opinion of the ma
jority of the delegates that reasonable
time had passed. Though the minori-
ty were still of opinion that they ought
70 adhere further to the gentleman from
Ohio, the majority had no disposition,
even II il had the power, TO force their
views upon the minority. In concIu-
sion he briefly eulogiZed and nontnR-
ted Thos. a. Hendricks.
Mr.. Price, of Indiana, for the minor
ity, urged adherence to Pendleton. He
expressed the highest respect for Hem
bricks, but the minority should not go
for him because the State Convention

for Pendleton, against the most earnest
and persistent opposition In accor-
dance with that preference the delega-
tion resolved to stand by Pendleton so
long as there was reasonable hope of
his nomination. [Great cheers; some
hisses.
The roll was called. at each vote
for Pendleton the galleries applauded
vociferously. The same demonstra-
tiops greeted Hendricks. Mississippi
went for Pendleton on this ballot,
and the vote of New York for Church
was cheered. During the roll call
an Oregon delegate attempted to
explain thevote the delegation would
give, but was ruled out OF order, as he
admitted he had no new candidate.
He said he only wanted to re-nominate
Pendleton.
