Your correspondent sought an interview with
ex-Gov. Hendricks (Dem.) this afternoon on
the action of Congress in the adoption of Pot
ter's investigation resolution. He declined
peremptorily to be interviewd when the re-
porter first stated his Grand. 'Tell the Her.
dld,'' said he, that have nothing to Say on
the subject. have already stated my views
on this question to you in person, and do
not care to cheaper my opinion by arepetition.'
''Yes,' said the reporter, but that sew
eral months ago, and the recent action of Con-
gress has put an entirely different phase on the
matter. May not Your opinions have under
gone some change, too3"
II do not see," was the reply, that the
question has changed in the least; in any event
my views remain substantially as before
The next remark of the Governor led the
porter to believe that he thought affairs had
assumed different complexion, for, in response
to an incidental remark that things
said excitedly: ''Torn up! Well, |
should think they would be torn up. When
prominent government officials are charged
with high crime, involving the title to the
Presidency, the matter becomes one Of the
gravest importance. l, in common with every
citizen, will watch with interest the progress Of
the investigation ordered by Congress.
'But is not this order simply prelude to
active revolutionary measures, as the Republi-
can committee directly charges!"
'sPooh!' said Mr.. Hendricks; that docu-
ment was issued simply to break the force of
the threatened exposure Of election frauds"
''Then you do not anticipate revolutionary
action to follow the investigation"
81 am not in communication with parties in
Washington or elsewhere who could or would
give information on this score and am conse-
quently utterly unable to state what the Con-
gressional action portends beyond what appears
on the face. l must presume, therefore, that
the order for an investigation is precisely what
it pretends to be, and nothing else; but, as l
said before, am not Informed on the subject,
and cannot give any authorized statement In
regard to it. must, therefore, decline to be
| interviewed"
The interview referred to above was publish
ed in the Indianapolis Journal February~2S,
! and was called out by sensational dispatch
| in the New York Herald that Tilden and Hen
| bricks were about to institute proceedings in
the form of writ of GUST and deprive MI. Hayes
of the Presidency and seat Tilden. On that
| occasion Mr.. Hendricks declared himself as
emphatically opposed to extreme measures
affecting the Presidential title, saying: -
think that, when Congress adopted the report
/ of the electoral commission, that was fina
| settlement. 1t was not the commission, but
| Congress, that gave Mr.. Hayes the Presidency
/ am opposed to exciting strife and discussion
by reopening that question: These may
therefore, be considered his views to-day.
