NOMINATION OF HENDRICKS.
Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, said
that he nominated as candidate for Vice
President a man cOnyeTSant with public
affairs throughout his whole life; an hon
ored statesman; pure and upright citi-
zen; a victim of the grossest fraud ever
peTpetrated on the American people
Thomas A. Hendricks. [Cheers.l
Walter of Connecticut seconded the
nomination of Hendricks, aud said that
the Democratic party would in defiance of
fraud and in accordance with law, place
him in the chair of the President
The presentation of Mr.. Hendricks name
was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, the
Convention repeating in a lesser degree the
scene which took place at the morning ses-
sion in honor of the same gentleman.
Menzies OF Indiana declared very en-
phatically that Mr.. Hendricks was not. and
could not be, candidate for the Vice
Presidency. He had been authorized by
Mr. Hendricks himself to say SO. He
therefore warned the Convention not to do
that which it would have to undo
Walsh of Georgia asked Menzies
whether he was authorized to say that Mr..
Hendricks would not accept the unani-
nous nomination of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention for the office of Vice
President
Menzies repeated his statement.
Walter of Connecticut said his State
had no desire to force on Indiana candi-
date against her will, but this was not an
Indiana Convention. 1t was a National
Convention, and the Democrats of the
country had right TO take fit man from
any place in it. [Cheers.l If any man said
that he knew that Mr.. Hendricks at
this time was not patriotic enough TO take
nomination rendered under those circum-
stances, 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 Democracy Of the Republic de-
manded of him again his name as candi-
date, and they would not take no for an
answer. He moved to suspend the rules
and nominate Thomas A. Hendricks as q
candidate for President by acclama-
| ton
Harris Of Virginia united the voice of
Virginia with that Of the Keystone State.
| [Cheers.l
Searls Of California withdrew the nomi-
The other nominees were all withdrawn,
one by one so that Mr.. Hendricks alone
remained before the Convention.
Hubbard of Texas made spirited speech
in favor of giving Hendricks the office, out
of which he had once been cheated.
Weed of New York suggested that the
roll of States should be called so as to put
| on record the unanimous vote for Hen
bricks
Wallace accepted the suggestion, with
| drew his motion 10 nominate by acclama-
| ton, and moved that the nominations now
close.
| The motion was agreed to, and the Clerk
| proceeded to cal! the roll of States.
The result was the unanimous nonina-
ton of Thos. A. Hendricks as the candidate
| for Vice President.
| Menzies of Indiana asked that that State
| be excused from voting. Loud shouts OF
| No" moi He then asked whether
| there was any name but Mr.. Hendricks be-
| fore the Convention, and on receiving an
answer IN the negative from the Chairman,
| he said: Then, sir, the State of Indiana
casts 80 votes for Thos. A Hendricks"
| This was at the close Of the call, making
| the result unanimous vote.
The Chairman announced that there had
| been SIG votes cast, aii Of them for Thomas
| A. Hendricks. and that Mr. Hendricks was
| therefore the candidate of the National
! Democratic Convention for Vice-President
of the United States. [Cheers.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
The demonstration that succeeded ex
ceeded in vehemence and enthusiasm an,
similar scene that has taken place durin,
this eyentful day. All the flags and ban
