SfECOLAIlONS ON NOMlNATIONSs
NEW YORK, July 4.-The New York delega-
ton to-day with entire unanimity and with the
hearty concurrence of Gov. Seymour, agreed
to present the name of Sanford E. Church as
their candidate for President. tbs understood
his nomination is made after a full consulta.
ton, but with the understanding that it will
ultimately receive the approval OF the conven-
ton. Some indications now favor a ticket
composed Of Church for President, with either
Hancock, Blair or some other soldier for Vice
President. The nomination of Church is press
ed on account of his eminence as financier
and ability to subserve the material interests of
the country.
The friends of Judge Chase are, however, as
confident as ever, resting their belief on the
hypothesis that he is the only man who can
surely beat Grant and secure the support OF
the next Congress.
The vote in the Convention to-day on the
question of tabling Mr. Brooks motion TO re-
consider the order for an evening session, is
understood to be test of the Pendleton
strength, the opponents of that gentleman car
rying their point.
