A PROMINENT HOOSlER DEMOCfai oS luc IN
DIANA sENATORsrIP AND TIE PRESIDENCY.
louisville Evening News, October 15.J ..
An Evening Ne1os reporter had the good
fortune to-day to collide, near the Louisville
Hotel, with Colonel Thomas j. Fullcnlove,
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee OF Floyd county. Indiana, and
one among the best-informed politicians OF
bis party in the Hoosier State. Without
ceremony the reporter proceeded to inter-
view Colonel Fullenlove, with the follow"
ing result: =,
Reporter: Well, Colonel, what means all
this talk in the papers about hard-money
candidate to be run by the bankers for
United States Senator in Indiana against
Voorhees,?
Colonel Fullenlove: It's all bosh. 1t
would be as much as his life IS worth IL q
Democratic member of the Indiana Legis-
ture should sell out Dan. VOORHEES,. They'd
lust take him out OF his seat IN the State
house and hang him to the most convenient
tree or lamp-post. The fight was made in
Indiana on VOORHEES, and by VOORHEES,, with
the Democratic State platform as basis !;
and every man accepts this. Wo hetide the
Democratic legislator who would dare to
sell himself to the hard-moneyites or any
other faction against VOORHEES,. The whole
story of conspiracy to this end among
prominent Democrats and the bankers is a
Radical lie manufactured to order out OF the
whole cloth. There's nothing IN it.
Reporter: Then Bill English, the In
dianapois banker, will be in the field for
the senate against Voorhees,?
Colonel Fullenlove: No, sir, he's a man
OF too much sense. Besides, he really de-
sires the election of VOORHEES,, believing
him entitled to the senatorship. Governor
Hendricks is for VOORHEES,, Senator Nc
Donald is for VOORHEES,, and Governor Will
liams is for VOORHEES,, and so are all the
rest.
Reporter: Well, how about Hendricks,
tie Indiana election, and the presidency
Colonel Fullenlove: Hendricks is all
right. He is the idol Of the Democracy OF
Indiana. He is their first and last choice
for the presidency. His speeches in the
late canvass revolutionized Northern lnd-
ana and the central part OF the State as well.
Wherever he went and talked to the people
victory crowned the eagles OF the Demo-
cracy. The Democratic majority and solld-
ity OF Indiana gave him position at the
very trout for the next Democratic presl-
dental nomination. Thurman and Allen
are settled by the result in ono. Inc
West wants no more eastern presidential
candidates. She has to eject the Democratic
President, if one is elected, and she de-
mands and will receive the nominee, and
Thomas A. Hendricks will be the man as
certain rs the next nationa! convention
meets. That st. Louis business taught the
Democracy a lesson they are not likely to
forget very soon. You can just bet your
pile on Hendricks and you'll win.
The West has tried the candidates OF the
East for the past sixteen years and has
failed. She now proposes to name the
candidate. and that man Will be Thomas
A. Hendricks. And on a sound Democratic
platform the Nationals will see their folly,
the hard-money Democrats will cease their
opposition. and will 60 together hand in
hand and sweep the country by a tremen-
dous majority. 1870 ,..,,:
Thanking Colonel Fullenlove, who, By
the way, is one of the most energetic,
shrewd, and well-known workers in the
Democratic party in Southern Indiana, the
Ne,rs reporter bid him good-day. ..
