A News reporter had the good fortune to-
day to collide, near the Louisville hotel,
with Colonel Thomas J. Fullenlove chair
man Of the democratic executive commit
tee of Floyd county, Ind, and one among
the best informed politicians of his party in
the Hoosier state. Without ceremony the
reporter proceeded to interview Colonel Full.
lenlove, with the following result:
Reporter-well, colonel, what means all
this talk In the papers about u hard money
candidate to be run by the bankers for United
States senator in Indiana against Voorhees,?
Colonel Fullenlove-It is all bosh. 1t would
be as much as life Is worth If democratic
member of the Indiana legislature should sell
out Dan Voorhees,. They'd just 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 plat
form as Saa,6 basis and every man accepts this
would dare to sell himself 10 the hard mon
eyites or any other faction against Voorhees,.
among prominent democrats and bankers Is a
radical lie manufactured out OF the whole
cloth. There is nothing in IT.
Reporter+Then Bill English, the lndianap0-
lis banker, Will not be in the field for the sem
ate against Voorhees,?
Colonel Fulienloye-No, sir; he's man of
too much sense. Besides, he really desires the
election OF Voorhees,, believing him entitled
TO the senatorship. Governor Hendricks IL for
voorhees,, Senator Mcdonald is for voorhees,,
all the rest.
Reporter-Well, how about Hendricks, the
Indiana election and the presidency?
Colonel NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is all right.
He is the idol of the democracy of Indiana.
He is their first aud last choice for the presi-
dency, His speeches In the late canvass rev.
olutionized northern Indiana, and the central
part of the state well. Wherever he went
and talked To the people victory crowned the
eagles of the democracy. The democratic
majority and solidity of Indiana give him a
position at the very 'front.' Tor the next demo-
cratic presidential nomination. Thurman
and Allen are settled by the result in Ohio.
The west wants no more eastern presidential
candidates She has to elect the democratic
president, IL one is elected, and she demands
and will receive the nominee, and Thomas A.
Hendricks will be the man as certain as the
next national convention meets. That st.
L6uis business taught the democracy 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 10 years and has failed. She
now proposes TO name the candidate, and that
man will be Thomas A. Hendricks. And on
sound democratic platform the nationals will
see their folly, the hard money democrats viii
cease their opposition, and we'll all 90 together
hand In hand and sweep the country by a tre-
mendous majority.
Thanking Colonel Fullenlove, who, by the
way. Is one of the most energetic, shIewd and
well known workers in the democratic party
of southern Indiana, the News reporter bid
him good day, and the colonel took street
car for New Albany.
