Mr. Price, OF Missouri, assuming the chair.
Mr.. Bayard, of Delaware, said that there
was some mistake about the name recorded
for that State, and asked that it be omitted in
the call. He was sure that the name as pub
lished had not been agreed to by the majority
of the delegation. ...,.f rr.z la. a..a..G-
In the list read California had named John
Bigler, and New York August Belmont
Mr.. Fitch, OF Indiana, rose to present one OF
its most talented citizens, as candidate before
this Convention for the Presidential nomina-
ton, one Of the best and purest men Of the ma
ton Indiana had thought it right to. cast
vote for a reasonable length of time for Pen
dleton, and in the opinion Of the majority of
the delegation that reasonable time had passed,
though the minority were still of the opinion
that they ought to adhere further to the gen
tleman from Ohio. The majority had no dis
position, even If it had the power, to force their
views upon the minority. In conclusion he
briefly eulogized and nominated Thomas a.
Hendricks, of Indiana. E9u.l
Mr. Price, of Indiana, on the part of the
minority, urged adherence to Pendleton, but
expressed the highest respect for Hendricks,
but said that the minority could not 90 for him,
because his State Convention had declared
their preference for Pendleton, against the
most earnest and persistent opposition In ac-
cordance with that preference the delegates
had resolved to stand by Pendleton so long as
there was a reasonable hope of his nomination,
(great cheers and some hisses). 70 80 .a..t

Rumor spread in the hall that New York
would break on the next ballot, casting part,
if not all of her vote for Hendricks. This was
denied by some who said that while New York
will leave Church to-day, unless be attracts
support from other States, they are not yet
ready to drop him. .@'~.
