Divers uneasy and very anxious
Democrats interview Hendricks on
the Oregon question and he thus dis
courses:
INDIANAPoLIs, Ind. Dec. 12-Gov-
ernor Hendricks was interviewed
again to-day on the Oregon matter
in relation to the presidential ques-
ton. He said: "Govsfnor Grover
was undoubtedly right in his course,
and he had been shamefully and ont
rageously abused for simply doing
his duty. The laws OF Indiana and
Oregon are exactly similar on that
point, and in this state the supreme
court has held at the course OF ac-
tion pursued by Grover was the cor
rect one"
Hon. Horace Corbin and one hun
dred and sixty-three other equally
honorable Democrats see lack of
back bone in their representative
men. They desire to infuse them
with heroic courage which will meet
the emergency, and they resolve
thusly:

But very few OF these brave men
fought for the country when th ir
services were needed, and in their
valiant resolutions we find no indica-
tions OF readiness TO furnish any
part OF gore or corpses which the war
they desire must require.

filed TO the very letter. We are no
prophet nor the son OF prophet, but

finally endorsed by the highest, and

This gives Tilden 1S5 legal votes, a
