GOT HIM THERE.

SARATOGA, July 30.—Long before the hour for the ceremony to take place the parlor of the hotel was filled with handsomely dressed ladies and gentlemen, who sat in a circle around the space reserved for the committee. At 2:10, amid loud applause from the guests, the committee marched in and stood in a circle, and immediately after Mr. Hendricks followed and took his position in the center. Upon his arrival Chairman Vilas delivered a long address—officially notifying Gov. Hendricks of his nomination for the Vice Presidency by the National Democratic Convention, recounting interesting circumstances of that nomination and dwelling particularly upon the enthusiasm unanimously manifested in the convention hall. Col. Vilas closed with a declaration that it was the special desire of the Democracy to see Governor Hendricks invested with this dignity; because they knew that once he was given title to it by the people and wrongfully denied its possession.
