INDIANAPOLIS, June 8.-A farewell

prior to his departure for Europe was
held tonight at Masonic Hall, Senator
MeDarald presided. Hon. D. W.
voorhees, made short speech, after
which he introduced Gov. Hendricks.
who said that after the close contest OF
last year and of his official term OF
service as Governor he found himself
worn in physical strength and thought
to take a rest Of six months to visit
another part Of the world.
Referring to his public life he said his
rule had always been to do the best he
could, and whatever success had atten-
ded his course was due to that rule. 1t
was pleasing reflection to know that
he had the good wishes Of those he left
behind, and the thought that he enioved
the respect and esteem Of the people of
Indiana, was the richest gem in his
possession.
The earnest and determined party
contest that he had passed through left
no personal or bitter prejudices to-
wards his political opponents.
Senator Mcdonald had stated in
his remarks that had the popular will
obtained he would now be Vice. Presi-
dent of the United States. He was
certain that he had a majority of the
popular vote, and in defeating the will
Of the people blow had been struck at
American institutions which thousands

Of railway, which is of greatest impor-
lance to the Russians.
In reference to the report which
states that another crossing is conf
dently expected at Herzova with view
ofgaining the short line railway running
from Tehernavoda to Kusendana, any
attempt at an effective resistance would
probably cause such an attempt in
force to be abandoned, as a march
through the fever-haunted Dorudscha
ought to be as rapid as possible. There
are two Turkish gunboats in the mouth
of the river Lorn and two at the mouth
of the Yantre.
A Constantinople telegram dated
Saturday night announces that the
Turkish monitors which had been pre-
vented from ascending the Danube by
torpedoes placed off Hersova, had sue
ceeded in e1tricating themselves and
reaching Tehernavoda, thus furnishing
an additional obstacle to any Russian
attempt to capture the railway from
Tchernavoda to Kustendje.

Throwin ing Dirt.

.lat aFl.r -.
We publish communication from
an esteemed Richmond correspondent
who in reference to the gubernatorial
question very seriously advises US not to
throw dirt. Our correspondent has GER
tainly been reading some of his home
papers SO constantly that he has become
Impressed with the idea that every pa
per that undertakes to discuss the ques-
ton necessarily INDUCES in the very
common practice Of Throwing dirt"
We of course, have our choice and have
indicated decided preference for his
nomination, but as to the other hon
orahle. gentlemen, whose names are
mentioned in connection with the
nomination, we have not said one
harmful word. We have not even
inquired where they were during the
last nine years, nor intimated that be-
cause man is quietly attending to his
legitimate private business, he should
lie for ever barred from accepting any
position of trust or honor in the state.
We are prepared to give the nominee Of
the convention, whoever he may be, a
cordial and hearty support. We have
no disposition to followin the footsteps
ofthe smut machines that endeavor to
so blacken the strongest men that they
may not be in the way oftheir fayorites.
The subject is one of so serious a char
acter that itwould be decidedly better
to throw all questions as to locality
aside. The duty of the convention is to
select the best man we have. The
state-needs his services and so soon as
We are convinced that any other section
of.the state has man better suited fol
the place than the Valley has, we are
ready to give him a cordial support, and
render every possible aid in securing his
nomination. -gls l-G.s
