VOLUME I3.
Senator Hendricks.


MACK" the famous correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial, thus portraits
the democratic senator from Indiana:
Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, whose
recent speech III reply to his colleague,
Governor Morton, will attract attention
throughout the country, is unquestionably
one OF the ablest men on the democratic
side Of the senate chamber. He IS not the
equal OF Reverdy johnson as a constitu-
tional lawyer, but he is his superior as a
popular debater. \ man SO long IN a
hopeless minority in the senate is very apt
20 cultivate The politician at the expense
of the statesman-and if Mr.. Hendricks
has done that, he has done 10 worse than
others in his position of what may be
called political responsibility would have
usne. Hence, he has worked vigorously
FOR his party, and let the majority take
care of the country. Mr.. Hendricks is
about fifty years of age, medium sized,
strong, robust AID large-headed, with a
broad face full Of good humor, and more
indicative OF force Of character than re-
finenent He is BY 10 means lacking In
the latter qualification, as slight acqualn-
tance will prove; but speak of what he
appears to the stranger and not to the
friend. He is native of MuskinGum
county, Ohio. but has lived III Indiana
since the mpletion Of his college course
IN 1913. He has sounded the whole ga
nut of political Office from member cf the
legislature up to senator, and many friends
think him fit to strike stih higher note
Ia the next presidential canvass, notwith
standing the declaration of the Indiana
convention in favor Of Pendleton. He
served two terms in the lower house of Con-
gress, from 1851 to 1885. and then be-
came commissioner of the land Office under
Pierce As az orator he Is pleasant to
listen to, has q good voice and an earnest
manner, and good command Of language.
As de5a.er he is sharp. watchful, and
now and then unscrupulous-always On
the lookout for weak points in his antago-
mist, and never at less for few when
they can be had by slight perversion of
language, or the like. In social inter-
course he is one Of the most agreeable Of
men-atfable, courteous, and kind-ma-
king friends all the time, and never losing
them.
Itmay seem little strange. but it is
nevertheless true, thai the little state OF
Indiana. located somewhere ont west, and
bounded on one side by the Wabash and
on the other three by nothing in particu-
lar, is far more ably represented in the
senate than any other state in the
union. mean that her two senator's have
more intellectual caliber th,n the two
from any other state. New York has
Conklin, but then she has Morgan. too.
The former has great Repatriation, which
be viii perhaps justify after a
while, though he has doue nothing or said
nothing up to this time remarkably bril-
