GOVERNOR HENDRICKS.

It was tho highest compliment that
could be paid to public man when dem
oeratic delegations from all parts of the State
of Indiana assembled on Friday, juno 18th,
at indianapolis to bid farewell to ex>Gover-
nor Hendricks on the occasion of his depar>
ture for three monts sojourn in Europe
Mr. Hendricks received his friends in Masonic
Hall, where speeches complimentary to him
were made BY Governor Williams, Senator
Mcdonald congressman and ex>Congressmcn
Voorhees,, Holman and Goodman, and others.
To these Mr.. Hendricks replied. Toward
the close of his address be said
Gas make my journey, as turn my back
for short time upon my home and fellow
citizens aud expect to look upon the nstitu-
tions that govern other people than those with
whom have always been associated, it is a
pleasing reflection that leave behind me the
good feeling of the men who know me-
And, indeed, as man stands upon tho sum-
init of the hill of life and looks behind and
downward somewhat, there is not much else
to contemplate with pleasure. He cannot
carry much of the goods of this world with
him, but as he goes onward and onward to-
ward the close of life the richest thing that
he can carry with him and down to the very
verge of the grave is the respect and cstecm
Of his fellow>ctizens."
