Campbell; Commsssry, A. J. Bennett. The
Senatorial excitement continues 10 increase
as the time for holding the caucuses APP
proaches. Every possible effort is being
made in behalf OF the candidates by their
friends. There has beeu no new develop
ments in the contest day and both Rollins
and Patterson claim that they are sure of
the nomination. 1t is impossible to tell the
strength of either party certainly as there is
said to be a number of republicans who are
not pledged to either and do not indicate
their preference. The argument of rotation
is used with effect, and at present the chances
of Mr.. Pattersons nomination seem to be
fewer than Mr., Rollins, but it is possible that
a third candidate may yet receive the nomi
nation.

indianapolis, Ind, ~. After the an
nouncement of the choice Of W. {. Depew as
Lieut.. Governor, Mr.. Hendricks appeared on
the stage, escorted by committee, amid the
widest applause Of the convention. He
said he had no expectation Of being the nom
inee of the convention. He had been ap-
pealed to by those to whose appeal he could
not be deaf. He was influenced in his hest
taton to accept only by personal reasons
He spoke of the growing interests of the
State. and said that the office of Governor
was rendered more than usually important
by the encroachments of central power. If
elected he would cndeavor to maintain al
ways the most friendly relations with the
central power. He would most strenuousiy
labor to maintain the rights OF the State to its
own freside government. He asked if the
people of the South, beggard and oppressed,
shou appeal to us in vain for political sup
port? Cries of no. He referred to the
necessity for civil service reform, and trusted
that the party now seeking cooperation with
the democratic party would be able to achieve
it. Referring to the coming convention at
Baltimore, he said that he thought this con-
vention foreshadowed the result of which he
pledged his support. He was not afraid of
the one man power, but he was afraid of the
rings by which Grant was surrounded, and
the que ston was not as to the continuance of
Grant in power, but the continuance of cor
rupt rings by which he was governed. In
conclusion he promised to do all he could to
insure the success of the ticket. As the
State went in October so it would in Noyem-
Der. We have turned our backs upon the
past. We stand in the present and look to
the future. The past is lost to us and the
future is ours. Let Us make it glorious
