NOMINATION OF HENDRICKS FOR VICE
PRESIDENT.
On the re-assembling of the Convention,
nominations for Vice President were de-
clared in order. Mr.. Searle, of California,
put General Rosecrans in nomination.
Mr.. Grant, of Colorado, presented eXSen-
ator Mcdonald Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia,
nominated General Beach, of Illinois, who
respectfully declined on the ground that
he was pledged to Mcdonald. Indiana
announced that it would not present
candidate. Mr.. Click, of Kansas, was
presented by delegate from that State.
Mr.. Faulkner, of Mississippi, seconded
the nomination of Rosecrans. MIR. Wal
lace, in behalf Of Pennsylvania, presented
the name of Thomas A. Hendricks, when
Mr.. Manson, of Indiana arose, but could
not be heard for the applause, and in the
meantime Mr.. Waller, Of Connecticut,
seconded the nomination. The applause
continued, and Mr.. Manson was vainly
trying to make himself heard, while sever
al Of the other Indiana delegates were
gesticulating at the same time that those
around were arguing and demonstrating
with them.
When Mr.. Manson could proceed he
said most positively that Mr.. Hendricks
would not be a candidate, and in answer
30 an inquiry whether he would not ac-
cept unanimous nomination, Mr.. Man
son repeated that Mr.. Hendricks own
words were that he was not and would
not be a candidate. Senator Wallace said
the people demanded Mr.. Hendricks and
would not take no for an answer. He
moved to suspend the rules and nominate
Mr.. Hendricks by exclamation. Objection
was made, and a formal call of the States
was demanded.
The name of Rosecrans was then with
drawn by California and the nomination
OF Hendricks was seconded. A other
nominations were then Withdrawn. The
burly voice of Hubbard. of Texas, arose
above the din and united in the universal
demand for Hendricks. The States were
called, and all responded with solid vote
for Hendricks except Indiana, which ask
ed to be excused. New York, for the first
time on any question since the meeting Of
the convention, cast her u votes with no
sign of dissent from the minority. In.
diana, on the conclusion of the call, cast
her vote for Hendricks and lnaugurated
another loVefaast.
Nothing in the republican convention
came up TO the pitch of enthusiasm which
now took hold of the entire concourse.
Between the round Of cheers the band
played "Auld Lang Syne," sold Hun
GrpA -
of all of which were taken up in stentOr-
ian tones. Members of the ether deiega-
tlons. with aags and banners, surrounded
the Indiana delegation and then marched
up and down the aisles.
Every one seemed happy, and all WED
with each other in manifestations of de-
light and approval. Full vent was given
until every one was satisfied. The formal
announcement Of the vote was at last
made, and after the passage of the Gus
tomary resolution the convention, at 7.30
2. M. adjourned sine die.
HOW CLEVELAND RECEIVED THE
NEWs-HIs FIRST SPEECH.
The first intimation the Governor re-
ceived of his nomination was when sitting
in his private room in the Executive
Chamber in the Capitol at Albany at work
on routine business, ho heard the boom Of
a cannon. Adjt.. Gen. FarnsWorth was
with him, and they were considering
some matters concerning the State camp.
Every other minute q blue-coated mes
aenger interrupted the discussion with a
bulletin of the voting at Chicago received
from the Assembly telegraph office. When
the announcement of Pennsylvania s
change was read few friends of the Gov
ernor, who had by this time dropped into
the Office, applaqded vigorously. soon
after came the formal announcement of
the first ballot Of to-day. Still the Adju-
tant, General continued calling off the
figures from the proof in his hand without
watching to see if the Governor made cor
rections. At about quarter to 2 o'clock
Gen. rarusWorth first heard the cannon
shot. He put up his hand and said. "I.is-
ten - They listened. Then came another
roar from the brass gun that the Young
Mems Democratic Club had stationed at
the foot of State street. Gen. Farnsworth
Jumped to his feet and said:
"They are firing a salute, Governor,
over your nomination"
''That's what it is.' said Col Lamont
do you think so 2'' said the Governor.
We'll, anyhow. We'll finish up this work."
and at it they went again.
If any doubt remained as to what the
booming of the cannon meant, it was soon
dispelled by telephone call which said
"Tell the Governor he was nominated
On the second ballot"
Col. Lamont, the private secretary of
the Governor. conveyed the news. The
Governor smiled. He did not seem to be
at all nervous or excited. Hand-shakings
