one of its most talented citizens as can
didate before this Convention for tue
Presidential nomination, one of the best
and purest men, of the, nation. Indiana
thought it right to cast her vote reason
able length Of time for Mr.. Pendletou.---
In the opinion of a majority Of the del
egates that reasonable time had passed,
though the minority were still of the
opinion that they ought to adhere further
to the gentleman of Ohio. The majori-
ty had no disposition, even if it had the
power, to force their views upon the mi
nority. In conclusion he briefly eulo-
gized and nominated Thomas A. Hen
bricks. .......
Mr.. Price, of Indiana, for the minority,
urged adherence to Pendleton. He. ex-
pressed the highest respect for Hendricks,
but the minority should not 60 for him
because the State Convention of their
State had decided their preference for
Pendleton against the most earnest and
persistent opposition. In accordance with
that preference the delegation resolved to
stand by Pendleton as long as there was
a reasonable hope for his nomination.
