Hendricks sought as Democratic nominee amid factional boldness
Telegraphic from New York on June 16 reports a sweeping push for Hendricks as the Democratic presidential candidate. Tilden's allies allegedly pledged Hendricks the nomination before he agreed to run second at St Louis, while Tweed's faction faces decline amid counter evidence and possible cash settlements. In Maine, Greenback delegates demand a fiat currency, repeal of the resumption act, and government issue of legal tender notes with low interest bonds. Rev. P. Emerson of Skowegan is named governor candidate.
