The indignation of the Pendlo-
tonians over the slaughter of their
favorite is intense. There was no
question as to the choice Of the West

State Conventions had declared for
him, that of Indiana among the mum.

Ills friends fought hard against
calling the National Convention at
New York, out Of fear Of the monied
influence Of the bondholders and po-
litical gamblers of that city, whose.
interests were Numerically opposed
to the greenback theories of PENDLE-
TON. That the fears Of his friends
were fully realized may be learned

ring, without any hope of doing more than
creating DIVISION against PENDLEToN.
SO 1t appears, upon the testimony
of the editor of the Cincinnati En-
Qisirer. that it was the g bleated bond
holders who make up the strength
of the New York Democracy, who
brought about the defeat of PENDLE-
TON and secured the nomination of
their favorite, SEYMOUR. From the
EaqaiTer'S account, il was their money
that was used to buy up delegates,
the New York gold being more pow
erful than PFNDLEToN greenbacks.
We learn, also, from the editor of the
Enquire, himself being on the
ground, and presumed to know, upon
whom this peculiar influence has been
most powerful. In the ENQUIRER.

special dispatches give the account Of
the fourth days proceedings, when
PENDLEToN received his death blow.
1t will be remembered that he started
out, on the first ballot, with the
strongest vote of any candidate, and
almost steadily gained until the de-
lection of the Indiana delegation,

when the solid vote of the delegation
would have given him a majority, and
eventually secured his nomination.
