'RAH FOR THE BEST MAN !
St. Louis, June 29, 1876. j
How to got away most expeditiously is the problem
or the hour. There Is a rush in tho hotel ollices to pay 1
Mils; there is lively inquiry Tor lower berths in the ?
ileeping cars; the baggage smasher* were never so 1
Happy; tho last dinner is (airly shovelled down without i
regard to digestion, but In all tho hasto It is not impos. ,
iibiu to gather tho general effect* on men's minds of 1
.he consequence* of the severe recrimination of the
faramany people liy the friends ol all the disappointed
candidates aud especially by the Hendricks men.
these latter charge that Tammany made loola of them
tnd told them downright falsehoods. Kelly persuaded
tho Hendricks delegation that the Now York delegates '
wero secretly and heartily opposed to Governor Tilden,
and would be glad ol the opportunity to throw him
&vcr board.
"Tbejr are- not Tildon men at all,was Tainmtny a
assertion. ? They are roally lor Horatio Soy rnour, and
when tho break trom Tilden comes we can pledge Hen
dricks tho seventy voles from Now York. "
It is now ?eeu that while this piece of political
strategy was being played upon Hendricks Kelly never ,
bad more than a bare dozen votes in a delegation of .
teventy and only tnudo the assertion in the hope of
Inducing the Hendricks wn to keep up the light and 1
at least to defeat Tilden snl distract tho party. Tho ?
Indiana men, therefor*, lot I that they were badly sold j
by Kelly and were more indiguaut against him than
igaiBM any ol their opponents, At the same time ;
there was considerable feeling among a portion ol tho
delegates against the South, to wh.cli section tbey at- |
tribute their disappointment. Several luilianians de- |
nounced tho Soubcrn States bitterly for having, as |
they say, betrayed Hie West.
??We have done with them," said one excited
lloosier, "let th. m bo ground to powder hereafier;
ttit-y ui.ijr tako care of thomsolves. ludiana has dono

In the Convention this mom ng the evidences of

the call of States lor the nomination of Vlre Presi- j
dent, all punted in quiet till Indiana wu called
aud ilie c.tll was nu lej with cheers ami yells,
which continued lur S 'inu moments, but no respouse
was made from Indiana. At length Hendricks wa< ?
nominated l>y ?ouii- irresponsible person not in the
Indiana delegation, whereupon Mr. McDonald of
Indiana announced tliat the w is-ion of hit delegation,
t-o tar as cuccerncd the use 01 Governor Heudrjck's
name, terminated when the nomination for tbo Presi
dency w t made; that he could not answer that Gov"
ernor Hendricks would accept tbo nomination If ten
dered, and that the Convention must lake the rc.-pousl
bilitv. This was regarded as hedging lor the position
and endeavoring to secure lor Hendricks such a rela
tion to the nomination that he could not refuse It
?lt!i >ut teeming to exh.blt contempt for the position i
and the Contention, which alternative would ol course
lorce htm to accepk Hi* nomination was then formally ,
made by Missouri, and Pennsylvania announced her i
united demand lor bis name.
General Steadtnan announced that It vs as the Inten
tion ol Ohio to present the name o! Mr. Payne, hut
now declined. In lace of the demons; ration, to prc*>ent
any twine, but seconded the nomination of lU-tiurtcka <
Everybody else did the same. The nomination by ac
clamation was demanded, but the calling of the roll j
was voted and proceeded with, and Hendricks was
nominated by every vote in the ball except eight votes
from Ohio which were casi. blank. There was no in- i
cldent except wheu the call of Tennesi-eo came, and the
twenty-four delegates stood on their feet and shoutod
in chorus,
"Tennessee casts twenty-four votes for liendrickst"
Indiana passed in her turn, but at the close acq ill- |
csced in the decision ol tho Convention.
MR. KKU.YS DEMONSTRATION.
Mr. Kelly rose as boon as the voting had concluded,
and his reception was very d lierent irom that of yes
terduy. It was seen at oiico that the opposition ol'
Tammany had ceased; thai tho war paint was washed j
off, and that the big elite! was prepared to smoke the ,
pipe of pcuco. Tho Boss look the platform aud in
lormod the Convention that no person had opposed the
nomination of Tllden moro strenuously (ban ho had,
and as he had bceu overruled by the Convention uo
oue would now strive more vigorously to clect him
President than ho would, and the Convention was as
sured that be could do some good work when he put
his shoulder to the wheel.
Ho continued:?"But as I had known Hendricks, the
good and pure and able Wostern ruler, when X wus In *
Congress lllloen years ago, 1 had been auxious to place
him at the bead ol the ticket."
The speech was a conciliating ono throughout, giving
credit lor purity, honesty and sincerity In reform to
the Gov.-ruor who had been abused by Tammany as a
fraud, a bogus reformer and a trickster lor a whole
week and urging the whole democracy to support tbo
ticket. The Tammany warrior, torriblo In war and
mild in peace, was listened to attentively, and it was
lelt that from this timo forth ihe.efforts ol'Taiurcnny
would be devoted to makiug friends with the rising sun.
THE TWO THIRDS RI'LK.
Nebraska offered a resolution that this Convention
recommend to luture conventions the discontinuance
ol tho two-thirds rule, aud tnat the States instruct
their delegates on that subject In choosing them lor
the Convention in 1680. This was divided, and the
ilrst part?that making a recommendation to luturo
conventions?was voted down; but tho call upon Stales
to instruct their delegates upon this point was carried.

"I was opposed to Mr. Tilden's nomination," says
Colonel Roberts, "as others of my party wore, Irom no
personal considerations, but because 1 did uot believe lie
was as strong a candidate at this time In our State as some
Western man would have been. 1 nekuowledge allegi
ance to oi/ party, and 1 should regard him as a very
poor democrat who would not work equally (or the suc

as to names to be placed ou It bad not prevailed. 1

ALUKKMAX S11IKLS
says:?"Our doctrine is to light a man before ?bo Is

alter he is nominated whether we like him or uot.
My district will give a good account of ltseli iu Novem

Invincible in tbo eity."
It It. KDWAKU GALK,
Attorney for Arraars of Personal Taxes, says:?"Mine
Is a strong German district. 11 Govoroor Tilden is as
strong among the Germans as they say he is, with the
support ol Mr. Ottendorler and Carl Scburz to back
him, be will bavo a very largo vote in the district.
All will be done lor him that could be dono lor lieu

VIKWS or THK ALDKKMKX.
Alderman William McCarthy says he la a democrat
and bound by this political lealty to bow to the will ol
thi majority. Uo will do all in his power to givo the
ticket the most cordial support.
A deririftu Gross, lu his speech at the mass meeting
last evening, sp >ke his mind Ireeiy, and was very en*
lliustastlc over the nomination of Tilden and Hen
dricKs. In his opinion the Gtrman element will rally
readily on that ticket.
Major Quiucy, Deputy Sheriff, says:?"I fought
against Governor Tiiden's nomination lu nood (aim,
(or what I telieved to bo the party good. We are uono
of us infallible. Wiser men than myself have chosen
hiut for our candidate and my opoosnion is over. Ho
is now the democratic standard bearer, and I snail
tight for him as faitulully as 11 bo had boon my llrst
choieo."
Alderman lleury Gumblaton gives hia adhesion to
the nomination, but would like to bar* souie Western
man at tne hea l of the ticket. Still, a majority rules, I
and the New York democracy will givo account of ,
themselves.
Alderman Shields promises his district will poll a !
heavier majority lor Tiiden and Hendricks tnau any ?
other man ever beiore. He proposes to do bu best to
effect such a result.
Aldermen William Sauer and Peter Seery were o(
the same opinion, and will support the ticket with all
their might.
tlr. John Calvin, member ol Assembly, promised to
roll up 4.500 majority tor Tiiden and Hendricks in hi*
district, lie was opposed to Tildeu's nomination, hut
as the Convoution saw Ut to place this ticket in the
Held, ho considers it bis duty to support it with all his
might.
Coroner Woltman lakes to ibe ticket lu the same
spirit, and as he professes to be a good democrat be
abides by the decision ol tbe majority.
Mr. Ed. Kearnoy made another bet this morning ot
f'. ijOO ihat Governor Tiiden will not curry tho State of
New York nexi November. This makes over $30,000
Mr. Kearney h is pending on iho result of tbe election
In New York State.
Bernard Iteiily said:?"Of course 1 shall support,
with ail the inlluence and vigor at my command, the
uotnineos of tbe Convention. 1 was I. lavor of Hen
dricks, as 1 thought it more advisable to lake our can
didate lroiu tho West, but now that lite democratic
party ha? selected Samuel Tiiden, I shall take oil my
coal and dj all 1 can to aecure hit ?lection."
Aluerman Keonan says:?1"Tho nomination sulis me.
We have been beaten iu ou candidate, to be euro, but
this is no time to luink of that All ol us lu Now York
city must unite in order to secure the election ol Sam
uel J. Tiiden."
Colonel Thomas Dunlap says:?"The ticket ol Tiiden
and llendrteks is sure to be victorious ucxt Novcinucr.
All personal .issues are submerged in tho result ol the
Convention. It was forest-on by me all a'o.ig Hint
Samuel J. Tiideu wouni be nominated. It is needless
to say Tamilian) llall wul supi>ort hlin now with en
thusiasm, and that Mr. Kelly will direct h.a energies in
that direction."
Aldcrtnuu Ouiub'.oton says:?"It la ridiculous to bear
one or two ol our people still continue lo decry Gover

st itid by that gentleman's nomination as good dem

Thero is no other course le t open."
Alderman Tn-iney says:?"1 can do nothing else but
support Mr. Tudcu. That I will do most heartily. Wo

is over wo eau lay down cur arms and go lu with a will

AM AKIIKNT TAMMAXT IlAV
F.x- Alderman 1. J ward Gilon, an ardsnt Tatnoiany
man, exprc-scd himself perfectly sails fled with tbe
result, and promised that his party would do ? very
thing in its power to give the nominesa a most cordial
support, lie does not disguise the fart that Tammany
Hali would rather have had a Western man lo head tho
ticket, predicating a more rertain success Irotn past
experiences. When tbe republicans, taking their can
didates from tho West, elected them for four consecu
tive tortus, the tact cannot be disguifed that the West
holds ilie bounce o4 power. Tho opposition to Gov
ernor Tiiden was by no means pcrsouai. Nothing was
said Uy Tammany men against his houe.st capability or
greut reform principles, and the uominauou as made
will rouso tbe wontvl enthusiasm ol yoro, no mattor
what post diligences existed.
In the Ursi wlat ol their disappointment and cbagrla
the Indiana men found it diiUcult to reconcilo them
selves with the situation, but a night's rest basebanged
their touo and to dit they are happy autf harmonious.
M . lowing, ol oniu, is raid lo feel greatly tbe failure
ol his candidate, but ne yields gracefully to the views
o. a majority.

thu sagacity to perceive Ihat the voleol New Jersey was
cast in ill ? Kelly into, est, though laueilo i with Parser's

eignteen votes of New Jersey would have nominated
Tilden. it *w mi ?Mi>t*D( 0 u> ib* rings m keep those
Votes out ol | ? Tilden column. Whatever was the pro
text?and Ike iirtuiiM tliil tklivu done out of loyalty
to Parker <te< eived nt>?e but very stupid persons?It
was not strange that it waa said at the moment that
tbo charmau of the Mew Jersey delegation was In the
Tammany interest. It may have been that tbls gentle
man waa only slow to perceive the real nature of tbe
case, but In that sort ol rapid, fierce conflict tbe slow
men should keep to tbe wall and the safe places.
Senator Stockton, tfierulore, wben be rose
and proposed that tbe delegation have leave
to withdiaw wlib a view to considering a
change of vote, was politically r.gbt, and
was acting as Governor Parker must himself bave de
sired in preventing that gentleman's name troin beicg

observation produced at night

in the room of the* Jersey delegation. That night a
man said that there were six traitors among tbe Now
Jerseyiiien, and Stockton was one of them. Tbe Sena
tor was In the room and beard wbat was laid. He
approached tbe person and said be beard bi* nam'
spoken, aud the man repeated what he had said.
Stockton remonstrated wiib bim quietly for rashly im
pugning meu's motives, bat tbo man, misunderstanding
the Senator's quiet demeauor, became very violent, and
tbe Seuator knocked htm down ami then another
rushed in aud was knocked down in turn. There were
tureeof tnem on the floor at ouo time, and in a short
tune the ^onator clcarod tbe room and did tuuch to
correct those wh?> assume that a man will not defend
himself as occasion requires because ho sa gentleman.
Another circumstance whs tbo activity of Mr. Doo
llttb), ol Wisconsin, us a disorgunUcr. Scarcely wits '
any one point determined ero this gentleman had j
soiuu new proposition to make on the j
same subject As the ball was large, tbo Chair- :
man's voice feeble and tbe couluslon great, it waa
a horculeun labor to bring anything to a vote, and
when itny poiut had reached that stage and seemed
doue with there seemed a leuling ol relief that so muib
at last was over. At tnls point Mr. DooIiUc commonly
arose with a request for reconsideration?that ull that
had been done should, to obligo bim, be regarded as
not done, and that tbe Convention should begin again
and incorporate his little idea. He reuuudod men of
Ltucoln'a small boy on the Mississippi steamer who
warned the captain to stop tbo boat aud tl~b out tbo

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTS ON.

The Convention was called to order at twenty min
utes past tin A. U. The interest iu the proceedings
has evidently greatly abated, aud many delegates have
lelt, leaving their alternates. Tbe galleries contain
but lew spectators. Prayer was oil'rod by the Epis
copal Bishop, Dr. Robertstn.
The Cilur announced several telegram!, which were
re.td, ouo Irorn Sedaliu, Ma, saying: ?
We tired 10J guus lor Titdeu, and nopo Hendricks
Will be tbe candidate tor Vice l'residen..

Many others of a similar character were received in

Tbo Cuaik announced that tbe next business was the

called lor Its nomination tbo State was greeted with
much enthusiasm. Indiana lulling to present a can
didate some one Irom bis soat in Illinois nominated

Mr. McDoxalo, of Indiana?Mr. Chairman?When
ever we Qnd ourselves brought lace to lace with a great
re-ponsibility 1 know no means of saving it excepting
we tako coun-el by our Judgment and by our con
scienco. i bo mission of tho delegation Irom Indiana '
lo mis Convention, *o tur at least us tlie name ot
Governor Hendricks is concerned, was ended yesterday,
when wo had a struxglu from tho time
the canvass opened In tliis city until it closed
lust evening to place U m bclore tho country for the

he was qualilied lo till, i lie Convention saw proper to
decide otherw iso, aud, so far as that decision is con
cerned, we bow to ibe will of the Convention, lbe
democracy ol ludiana bas never yet sullercd its llag to
trail in the Just, ha* never yet lowered its standard lo
lbe common enemy. Whether we shall be uble to
comp.y witb the wishes of this large and most respect
able assemblage 01 democrats in what we may be al<ie
to do in our State In the coining election is one ol the
questions ol the future I have already stated that the
mission Oi tho deiegaiiou of Indiana, so lur us the
name ol Governor Hendricks is concerned, ended
on yesterday eveiiiug. Wo have no authority to
say to this Conveuiiun that if it tees proper to
pluce bis numo upon ibe ticket that be will accent I
it. Tbereiorc, we do not propose to place ourselves 1
in any lal?e position upou that subject. When >
we say that, Mr. President, we do not say it because |
tbe odice of Vice President is beneath hiui; u has been
beid by men more distinguished than he, more known j
to history, and whose patriotism has Illumined some
of ibo brightest pa/es ol history, and ol ihu history ol
our own party. For myeell, Mr. Presideut, I can only
stty that upou this question the Convection must take
ibe resi>ousii>ility?-(loud and prolonged cheering aud ,

SKETCH OF GOVEltNOR HENDRICKS.
Thomas Andri ws Hendricks, of Indiana, who was
yesterday placed in nom nation as tbe democratic can*
didatc for Vico President, is live years-youuger thau Mr.
Tllde i, hnviu.' boon born in Muskingum county, Ohio,
September 7, 1819. When bo was only three years o.d
his lather removed to Sbeluy county, Indiana, rnd thai
State was his home ever afterward: Mr. Heudrickl
received a liberal education, and gradua ed from
Hanover College in 1841, after which he studied law ia
the office ol the late Judge Thomson, ol Cbumbarsburg,
Pa., aud whs admitted to tho Franklin county Bar ia
1844, the dwtinguisbedjurist, Jerominh SJ. Blaok, being
at the iiuiAh" providing Justice ot the courts of the
coauty. He returned to Indiana immediately after
cmning to tbe Bar. and began the practice 01 hi* pro>
leseton. Success was not long in < om ng to tbe younj
lawyer, and be soon acquired not onlv a compicnct
but a high piase ai t bo Bar. lie bad not been long at th?
Bar, however, when be began bis political career. la
1848 he was chosen a member of tbe lndiaua legisla
ture, and In 1830 be eerv< d in the State Constitutional
Convention. During the next five years he wan a rep>
rescntative iu Congress, and in 1856 President P ores
appointed bitn Commissioner of tbe Goncral Laud
oillce. He continued 10 hotd this position under Mr.
Buchanan's administration until 185t>, when be re
signed. In 18(H? bo was the democratic candidate Tor
Uarettor ol iudiana, but Was de cated by Henry H,
Lull", l.uiii wu- s ion aiterward chosen I'm ted Stataa
.-onutor, and in 1863 Heudru-ks became hi* eoileugue
In tue Senate. At Hie tnno tbe democracy was
a very weak minority In thai bodv, bul
Mr. Hendricks succeeded in making a great
rcim-ation in tbe Senate ootb as a aiale-uma
! and a lawyer. Ho wus active and outspoken In opposl
I t on io Uio repuiil'.cau measures ot tbe time, among
' tiicin tbe bill overturning tlie old State government:* ot
the South, tbe Civil Itijlits bill and the Fri edman'*
! Bureau bill. In tbe im|>?uchmeni trial ol Auurew
| Johnson be played nn important part, and add. d greatly
i to bis rupatatios iu a lawyer. In a tingle torm n ibe
j Se-.ate M r Henuricks acquired a position of great prom*
j innnce before the country, and he placed himself so tar
forward In bis |>arty iliat sine; 18'iS he l.as been gener
ally regarded an aiming the aval able democratic candl
?dates lor the Presidency. But lor ibe Greeley tnove
ineut he niKht bave i ccti uoiniualed in 1*>?2, and tbtl
Vrar hlH cmincca lor the Art place on the ticket Ifert
de troyed by the inllution folly of tho West.
Alter bis retirement from tbe Senate In 1869 klr.
Hendricks returae.i to the practice ol his prolcsaiou al
Indianapolis, but he wu* not long allowed to remuia
ou ot public nle. After Greeley's nomination at Balil
more Hendricks was induc?l to acoept a nomination
lor Governor of Indlaue, in order to strengthen the
Presidential ticket, and. altera bitter canvass, he wm
elected i.y a small majority. ibe rest oi the ticket, ex
cept the Superintendent of Public Instruction, boinit
lost to the democracy. Tbe personal popularity ol
Governor Hendricks carried him ti reogh, bat be had
the adv mtage of bavin* an opponent against wh?m the
> umperance sehllutenl ol his State was arrayed. He Hot
| mod* an accept iit.e Governor, and has offi-nded only is
' one respect?by giguinu a local option liquor bill, which
| was Hunseqaently r>pealed.
(?< vernor Henlncka is a m in of strong and generous
instincts. Socially he is one of tbe mast agreeable
! meu tn public life, and he carries tbe ur
i hnnty lor which he la noted into the court
room as well as tlio exeoutivo chaofber. No
one meets bim without being charmed by his so
ciety. lie possesses a tund ot wit aad anecdote wh>< >
rn ike him a charming ooinpanion. His words are to
iicuously chose.i, bis sentences always well constructed
and b r elocution fluent and easy. Uli boiisrc is lull ol
books and paintings, and, aitnougb not a scholar u th?
higher sense, be is well versed in II cr.iture and Itai
been sn esiiec ?l y ctoee sta.ient of English and Ameri
can oratory. In busiaesa afl.nrs he is careful, methodi
cal and prompt?liberal without being extravagant?
ami ue has the reputation ol he.ng an honest man.
His nnuie on tbe tieket is expected to add materially to
Tilden's strength in the West; but whether this will
prove the case caa only be tested in tbe November cru
cible.
