Democratic National Convention.
PENDEErON's FRIENDS CONFIDENT.
"A THREAT TO BOLT.
Hendricks and Hancock Nowhere.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The excite
ment is increasing hourly. Pendle-
toms friends are loud in expressions
of confidence in his nomination,
claiming that he is the only candidate
they can elect. They oppose Hen
| bricks, and some say they will bolt.
Chase or Seymour is their second
choice. It is believed they control
over one hundred and sixty votes.
Wash. Mclean and Judge Flynn,
of Cincinnati, had private interview
with Seymour, Tilden. Church and
Green of New York. Pendleton will
not be- pressed to a split. It is very
| likely that Seymour will be nominated
by acclamation before six ballots, and
| forced to accept. A letter from New
York says Bankers urge him to ac-
cept. Many of the Southern dele
gates favor johnson, but will accept
the candidate, and promise to work
and vote In the election. Hendricks
friends continue confident. Should
Seymour be nominated, Hendricks
or Blair will be Vice President. To-
day Hancock seems nowhere.
