of the names of the National Executive Com
mittee, which was ordered.
Mr.. Price of Mo. assumed the chair
MIR. Baird of Delaware said there was som
mistake about the name recorded for that State
and asked that it be omitted in the call. I'll
was sure the name as published had not BEEF
agreed to by majority of the delegation.
The list was read.
California named John Bigler. New Yorl
named August Belmont.
Mr.. Fitch of Ind. rose to present one of it
most talented citizens as a candidate before tn
Convention as President; one of the best ant
foremost of the nation. Indiana had though
it right to cast her vote a reasonable length o
time for Pendleton. In the opinion of a ma
jority of the delegation that reasonable time il
passed, though the minority were still of thu
opinion that they ought to adhere further t.
the gentleman of Ohio. The minority had NJ
disposition, even if they had the power. to forct
their views upon the majority. In conclusion
he briefly eulogized and nominated Thomas A
Hendricks t
Mr.. Price of Ind, for the minority, urged
adherence to Pendleton, and expressed the
highest respect for Hendricks, but the minority
could not go for him because the State Con.
vention of their State decided their preference
for Pendleton against the most earnest and
persistent opposition. In accordance with that
preference the delegation resolved to stand by
Pendleton SO long as a reasonable hope of his
nomination existed. Great cheers and some
hisses.) 1 ,faG -..s-

Pendleton the galleries applauded vocferously
The same demonstrations greeted Hendricks.
Missississippi went for Pendleton on this
ballot. The vote of New York for Church was
cheered.
During the roll call an Oregon delegate at
tempted to explain the vote the delegation
would give, but was ruled out of order, as he
admitted he had no new candidate. He said
he only wanted to renominate Pendleton.
