More Speculaffons.
Fears were expressed yesterday by the
anti-Pendleton men that the Southern
delegates would be prevailed to vote solid
for Pendleton, thus securing his nomina-
tion. Without Southern support Pendle-
ton will have about ITO votes, though his
friends claim more.
Mr.. Hendricks, of Indiana, is the second
choice OF the majority of delegates. The
vote yesterday in the New York delegation
for candidate for President, which was
subsequently, made unanimous, was in de-
tail as follows: Church So; Chase 10 /;
Hendricks 8; Pendleton 8; Seymour l;
Judge Nelson q; Reverdy johnson 4.
Nothing yet indicates with certainty
who will be the nominee for President.
The! friends of Church are suspicious that
he is being made catspaw of, and are pre-
pairing to meet the emergency.
