A telegram was read from Council Bluffs.
Iowa, stating that the nomination of Cleye-
land has been received with enthusiasm
that thousands of democrats and hundreds
OF republicans were equally captivated
with it and that Council Bluffs would do
her part toward carrying Iowa for the de-
mocracy.
A delegate from Missouri seconded the.
nomination of Mcdonald.
Franklin, of Mississippi, seconded the
nomination of General ROsencrans.
No other candidate, he said could come
so near bringing together all the old SOL
diers who fought on either side in the late
war.
An Oregon delegate expressed the united
voice of Oregon in favor of Rosencrsns.
SENATOR WALLACE, OF PENNSYLVANIA,
said he nominated as candidate for vice
president, man conversant with public af-
fairs throughout his whole life, was an
honored statesman, was pure and upright
citizen, a victim of the grossest fraud ever
perpetrated on the American people.
THos A. HENDRICKS
lCheers.1 Waller, of Connecticut, sec
ouded the nomination of Hendricks, and
said that the democratic party would, in
defense OF fraud and in accordance with
Law, place him In the chair of ice-presi-
dent. The announcement Of Mr.. Hen
bricks name was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, the convention repeating in less
degree the::sceues which took place at the
morning session in honor of the same gen.
tleman. Mepzies, of Indiana declared very
EN- oh atically that Mr.. Hendricks was not
and could not be candidate for yice-pres-
edent. He had been authorized by Mr..
Hendricks himself to say so. He therefore
warned the convention not to do that
which il would have to undo.
Walsh of Georgia, asked Menzies whe tn
he was authorized to say that
MR.. HENDRICKS WOULD NOT ACCEPT
the unanimous nomination of the national
democratic convention for the Office of vice.
president?
Menzie repeated his statement.
Wall, of Connecticut said his state had
surely no desire to force upon Indiana q
candidate against its will, but this was not
an Indiana convention 1t was a national
convention and the democrats OF the coun-
try had right to take FIT man from any
place in the Union. [Cheersl. If any man
said he knew Mr.. Hendricks at this time
was
NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH
to take nomination rendered him under
these circumstances he would withdraw his
name but with humiliation. Wallace, of
Pennsylvania, said that Mr.. Hendricks
had been once chosen vice. president and
had been despoiled of the Office. The de-
mocracy of the republic demanded of him
again his name as a candidate and they
would not take "no" for an answer. He
moved to suspend the rules and nominate
Thos A. Hendricks as a candidate for vice
president by act limation. Cheers. .sss
Harris, of Virginia, united the voice OF
Virginia with that of the Keystone states:
Cheers.
Sears, of California, withdrew his nomi-
nation of Rosecrans. The other nominees
were all withdI avn one by one so that Mr..
Hendricks name alone remained before
the convention.
Hubbard, of Texas, made q spirited
speech in favor of giving to Hendricks
the Office out of which he had been cheat
ed.
Weed, OF New York, suggested that the
roll of states be called so as to put on re-
cord the unanimous vote for Hendricks.
Wallace accepted the suggestion and with.
drew his motion to nominate by acclams-
ton and moved that the domination now
close. The motion vas agreed to and the
clerk proceeded to call the roll of states.
The result was the unanimous nomination
Of Thos. A. Hendricks as the candidate for
Mr.. Menzie, of Indiana, asked that that
state be excused from voting cries Of
mo, no."
He then asked wheter there was any
name but Mr.. Hendricks before the con-
vention, and 90 receiving an answer In the
negative from the chairman, he said then
,ir. the state of Indiana casts 80 votes for
Thomas A. Hendricks. This was at the
close OF the call, making the result unan-
mous vote.
When this was announced it was appar-
mt that Hendricks nomination was unani-
nous.
