Mr. Waller, OF Connecticut-Mr. Chairman:
Connecticut usually has no desire to force on
Indiana candidate against It's will; but, sir,
this is not an Indiana Convention. Cheers
and laug hter) This is a convention of the
country, and the Democrats looking all over
the country have a right to take fit man
from any place they may. Connecticut, sir
would not have made at anybodys request
nomination of man for any Office unless
they had exercised little Yankee cuteneSs
as to whether man would probably
take it. If any man in this convention says
that Hendricks at this time is not patriotic
enough to take nomination rendered under
these circumstances will withdraw his name
with humiliation. tApplause) He does not
want this nomination. Every man Knows
il. He is called to the front; and The
ticket, with the statesman of New YorK on it
in 1884 representing the East, Thomas A. Hen
bricks, representing again the West, will be,
in the opinion of every Democrat who hears
me- victorious in November
Mr.. Wallace, of PennsyiyanIa-Mr Pres
dent, it would not be beneath the dignity of
an elected Vice-President of the United States
to be q candidate for the place second time.
Thomas a. Hendricks has been once chosen
to be Vice-President of the United States.
He has been despoiled of his Office. The De-
mocracy of the Republic demand of him again
his name as their candidate, and they will not
take no for an answer. tCheers.l Sir, move
you, that the rules be suspended and that this
convention nominate Thomas A. Hendricks,
of Indiana, as its candidate for Vlce-Presi-
dent of the United States by reclamation.
(Cheers.l

ton of one in Mississippi for Mcdonald, four
in Illinois, which were not voted, and the
thirty votes of Indiana. which asked to be ex-
cused, but on the Convention insisting upon
Indiana voting her thirty votes were cast for
Mr.. Hendricks.
When the vote of Indiana was announced
for Hendricks it was apparent that his nomi-
nation was unanimous the delegates and the
audience rose to their feet and INDUCED in the
usual extravagant demonstrations. The whole
house was sea of undulating color, formed
by waving handkerch.efs of every hue,
hats, umbrellaS and everything else which
could be seized upon by the excited as
semplage. The band broke in on the un-
earthly din with the strains of Hail to
the Chief number of delegates seized
the standards and bore them to the platform,
where they we're gathered into a cluster,
about which we're congregated two or three
hundred delegates yelling as If Cleveland
and Hendricks were Just being passed into
the Presidential offices. After remaining in
front of the platform few minutes the dele
gates in charge of the standards formed them
selves into pr cession and marched
around the hall, while the band favored
the crowd with "The Star Spangled Banner"
The Chair-There have been S16 votes cast,
of which Thomas A. Hendricks has received
every one, and is declared the unani Inous
