to by a majority of the delegation.

named John Bigler; New York named
August Belmont.

one of its most talented citizens as
candidate before this Convention lot
the Presidential nomination, one OF the
best and purest men Of the nation. In
diana had thought it right to cast her
vote a reasonable length of time for
Mr.. Pendleton. In the opinion of a ma
iority of the delegates 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 majority had no disposition,
even if it had the power, to force their
views upon the minority. In conclu-
sion he briefly eulogized and nominated
Thomas A. Hendricks.
Mr. Price, of Indiana, for tho minol-
itv, urged adherence to Pendleton. lie
expressed the highest respect for Hen
bricks, but the minority should not go
for him because the State Convention
of their State had decided their prefer
