Scenes, Incidents, &C., of the
Democratic Convention.
Frank Hurd, heading the Vallan-
bingham wing of the Democracy,
threw the Convention into hysteri
cal convulsions by nominating
Pendleton for Governor. 1t was
cruelty Gone. If the Hon. George
should be nominated, he was sure OF
defeat at the polls, and that would
kill him as Presidential aspirant |
If he should not be nominated, he
would be dead beyond resurrection.
The gallant John G.. Thompson
mounted the breach and waved for
ten minutes in the most deafening
storm of confusion ever heard, even
in a Democratic Convention. He
said dispatches had been received
from Mr.. Pcndleton, stating that
under no circumstances should his
name be used as candidate. Cries
of Bogus! Another Xenia business !
Don't care a id what he says
nominate him anyhow! Set
down! Mr.. Chair-r-mom j.! !! VAN
TRUMP, d-n you, why don't you
recognize me ~! Am 1 to be choked
down! Yells, cheers, cries, stamps,
snorts, pounding Of benches, and
every conceivable sort of noise.
John g., proceeding, Il appeal to
this Convention whether gentle
man is to be sacrificed in this way,
against his express wishes !'
More yells and multitude confu-

tinued for an indefinite length oil
time, before the balloting could be
commenced. No pen. could do jus
tice to the scene. No locomotive
whistle would have been a pigs

appears in our report. A delegate
said viciously-If this and New
