PRESENTING THE NAMEs-CONFEDERATE PRTTER-

The convention itself did not seem in a cheerful
mood. 1t heard listlessly several nominated
for the Vice Presidency. Niles Searls of California
nominated General William = Rosecrans, charac-
terzing him as splendid soldier aud tried
statesman Governor Grant, of Colorado nom-
mated Joseph f.. Mcdonald, and spared the cOnven-
tiOn any eulogy. General A. o. Bacon, of Georgia
informed the convention IN mellltluous voice that

low the same discreet policy in regard to

MILD sPAsM OVER IgE "FRAUD" ISSUE
Then Game the sensation of the night. G.. l.. Men
zos. of Indiana said in apparently cross mood.
that Indiana had no candidate for the Vice-Prcsi-
dcncy. Both Mcdonald and Hendricks had failed TO
get the nomination for the Presidency, while ap-
paIently having fair prospects, and every Indiana
delegate desired to get home. Ex-senator Wallace
of Pennsylvania. surprised them. He IA tall spare
man, with clear, ringing voice. In tones
that could be heard all over the vast hall he nomi-
mated Hendricks for the VIce-PTesIdency as the
representative of the greatest fraud In history
A wave OF enthusiasm passed over the ball Dele
