A HENDRICKS BOOM.
CENTRAL CLUB AT WASHINGTON.

CENTRAL CLUB AT WASHINGTON.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 21.- Indiana Demo-
cratic members of the House and the two
Senators met last night to organize a Her.
bricks club, which is to have utilization with
the Hendricks club of Indianapolis and
other Hendricks clubs of Indiana. They
elected Mr.. Cobb, of the Vincennes district,
president, and the other Democratic mem
bers vice. presidents, and outside Democrats
and the Senators were enrolled as members.
The main object is to urge Hendricks caE-
didacy, and the primary work of the club
will be to set his financial record right before
the country. The club claims that Hendricks
has been misrepresented, that he has been
called soft money man, when in fact he is
as sound on that question as any Democrat
wants to be. Senator Voorhees, made q
statement on his own responsibility, in
which he said that within a few weeks a
prominent man had arrived here from New
York, where he had seen Gov. Seymour,
and stated that Seymour said that Mr.. Hen
bricks was the man that should be nomi-
mated at Cincinnati, and that he could carry
New York. Senator Mcdonald said that in
South Carolina, while Hendricks did not
stand as first choice, he was ahead of every
body as second choice, and declared that
that was fair representation of his position
in the Southern States, and that all that was
necessary was active and aggressive work
for hinn and that this club was inaugurated
to bring him forward as first choice.

EIGHT HOUR LAW.

Great Meeting of st. Louis WOrkingmen in
Support of the Measure.
ST.. LOUIS, March Ala mass meeting of
workingmen was held at the Opera house this
afternoon, under the auspices of the Trade s
assembly, to consider the eight hour law and
devise means 10 procure its enforcement Sew
eral speeches were made by leaders Of the labor
movement in both English sri German,
strongly urging a reduction of the hours of
labor, and resolutions were unanimously
adopted calling upon our Senators and
representatives in Congress to vote for such
legislation as will ensure the impartial Observ-
ance and enforcement of the act Of Congress of
June. 1868, fixing eight hours as legal day
work for all laborers, workmen and mechanics
employed by or ON behalf of the national gov
eminent, and declaring they will do everything
in their power to accomplish the political
destruction of any Congressman of whatever
party WHO votes or speakes against proper
bill to enforce said national Law, and demand
ing of Congress the creation of q national
bureau of labor statistics in the interest of
manufacturing and mechanical occupations of
the country. The resolutions will be sent each
member Of the Missouri congressional delega-
ton. The opera house was packed from par
quette to gallery with very orderly but very
enthusiastic and earnest audience.

An Arrant imposition.

DR.. c. h. Taylor, who recently spent six
months in the comfy Jail on the charge of
rape, but escaped punishment through the
kindheartedness of g rand jury, entertained a
large audience at the Opera house last night.
Sunday night was an excellent evening for the
ex.rapist and champion fraud to appear before
the public. He styled himself on his bills as
Foster-Fay of Boston, residence which may be
doubtful, as the Massachusetts, State prison is
rot located at the Hub"
The entertainment consisted of series of
slight of-hand tricks, of the sort made famil-
lar to the public for the past half
century by Anderson, Blitz, and
the scores of so-called wizards
who have perambulated the country from time
to time. While assuming to be an expose of
spiritualism, it was nothing of the sort, the
tricks being only those that have been explain
ed time and again. While he exhibited con-
siderable dexterity, and mysti6ed those to whom
such performances possessed the merit of nov
city, there was nothing in the entire entertain
ment, if such it could be called, that merited
particular notice. The bills had announced
that small admission fee would be charged at
the door TO defray expenses, but when the peo-
pie arrived they found that they were called
upon for half dollar. The result is that the
doctor will be flush of cash for the next few
weeks, and those who attended will be con-
strained to remark in medItative mood. THE
fools are not all dead"

Yesterdays "Song SERVICE" at the YIN. CA.
Attracted doubtless by the fine weather and
the announcement that strangers would assist,
q larger number than usual gathered in the
pa-lor of the Y. NJ. G. A. yesterday afternoon
to participate in the service of song. The want
of pure and wholesome air long before the
hour of service closed only showed the necessi-
ty for larger and better ventilated hall to
be operated by the society if they are to con-
tinue public services.
The exercises were as usual conducted by the
secretary who, after singing and prsyer, an
nounced as his subject Some daily things, "and
in the course of the service made mention of
and read scripture passages bearing upon
the following things relating TO an
everyday religious life-daily living, daily dy-
ing daily bread, daily benefits, daily CLEAN
ings, daily praising, etc. Hymns were also
sung appropriate to each division of the sub
ject, and in the intervals short addresses were
made by two of the visitors present. Mr..
habit, illustrating by numerous
daily things, and urging his
hearers to live lives of such dependence on
Christ and trust in God as should enable them
to form such habits as would ensure their en-
trance into future life of purity and peace.
Mr.. Covington also spoke point
eddy and forcibly during one
OF Inc lnterval9 OF song on suDJects connected
with the general tenor of the service. The
singing was also led by male voices, the choir
being made up almost entirely from among the
guests who, as announced yesterday, in
the city on business connected with the recent
fire, had been secured by the secretary of the
association to add zest and intereat to the ser
vice. Altogether thu exercises were both
pleasing and profitable, the only drawback to
comfort being as above mentioned, the lack Of
good air.

NO WEAKENING IN INE f1GHl.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, March 2l.-The anti Tilden or
Tammany Democrats purpose holding their
State convention on the same day and same
place with the Tilden wing. The divisions
of the party in this State is not less clearly
defined that it was last fall. To disprove of
the eft made assertion of the Tildenites that
Tammany had no following outside of New
York, the anti Tilden faction is being reor
ganized throughout the State. Among this
faction Hancock seems the favorite
candidate. Anybody but Tilden will, how
over, be accepted. Tilden will never be,
John Kelly says SO, and nuquestionably
means it, and has his party at his back in
the association, sufficient party, as is adj
mitted on all sides, TO defeat Tilden in this
State in case of his nomination. Kelly says
also that Tammany wants harmony
without Tilden, that delegates will be sent to
Cincinnati by Tammany unless the other
faction pledges its delegates to somebody be-
side Tilden and that an unpledged delega-
ton will not be satisfactory. Tammany
must be on hand at the national convention
to see that no foul play is successfully at
tempted.

LIBERALS CONFIDENT.


LONDON, March 2l.-The campaign increases
in activity. The liberals seem more confident.
Their organs predict an overwhelming victory
Gladstone's speeches occupy more space IN the
newspapers than those of all other candidates
together. Gladstone made bitter deruncla-
tions of Austria in his first speech at Edinburg.
correspondent reports that the emperor has
told the British ambassador that as Gladstone
disapproved of Austria's foreign policy, the
emperor hoped that Beacons6eld would be
successful in the elections. Gladstone, repeat
ing this statement, said if the electors ap-
proved of Austria's foreign policy he would
advise them for the retention of the Beacon
field ministry. Austria, he said, has ever been
the unfinching enemy of freedom IN every
country of Europe, and there is no spot in the
whole country where one could place his finger
and say, There Austria did good"
John Bright, speaking at birmingham,
said: 1--WE are at this moment witnessing the
dying hours of the worst of modern parlia-
ments and beholding the spectacle OF the worst
of administrations brought up for Judgment
The conservatives conduct the campaign more
quietly, but every doubtful seat will be con-
Quoted to the bitter end.

A Tribute to Frank DAM.

The band house or rendezvous of the Great
Western band, No. "a Bridge square, was the
scene yesterday afternoon of delightful pres
entation gotten up by the members of the
organization as a tribute of esteem to one of
their most efficient members. The beneficiary

band, who was made the recipient of a hand
come cameo ring, the gift signifying his de-
parture for Minneapolis, where he will assuu
management of a separate band to be maintain
ed by Prof. Seibert.
The ring was presented by Prof. Seibert on
behalf of the members of the band, in neat
speech which was appropriately responded to by
Mr.. Danz. Mr.. DAM has won rich laurals by
his achievements in this city and carries
with him the reputation Of talented and
painstakipg artist. He formerly occupied
the position of professor of music at Manhat-
tan college, New York, and has since ofhciated
as bandmaster at Fort Smelling.

JUBILANT DEMOCRATS.
THE VICTORY OF FRIDAY.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 21,-The Democrats
generally are very jubilant over their victory
of Friday. They claim they have not only
beaten the Republicans on their own ground,
but have put them upon record as voting
against supplies for the government. With
two exceptions, Butterworth and Bedford,
Republican members voted against the
bill, which contains an appropriation
of nearly seven million for pension
ers. Mr.. Mcmahon, who engineered
the bill and accepted and reofered
Garfeld's compromise says that if the bill
becomes law there will be no further troub-
lie as to appropriations for marshals of cleo
tiops, and he does not see how the President
can refuse to approve the measure. He be-
lieves the President will do it, not only be-
cause the proposition emanated from leader
of his party and is fair and just, but be-
cause he will not dare veto bill which ap-
propriates seven millions for pensions to
persons whose claims are meritorious
and should be paid. Mr. McMahon
regards tie issue of the extra session
as practic Ally ended, even though tue Presi-
dent should not sign the bill. The Demo
Gratis can then say that he refused what his
own party offered him, and what was accept
ed by the Democrats: and that now they can
consistently go to the country as refusing to
appropriate money to carry out law which
they regard as vicious. In other words, if
the President does not sign the bill they ia
future will refuse to appropriate money to
carry out the election laws, and they feel
that they can safely go to the country on this
record. Many Republican members are bitter
against Garfield. They say he has sold out
the party. Yet while they concede that it is
anything but Republican victory. they say
the Democrats have gained nothing. They
look upon it as Democratic surrender. TIE
bill will be bitterly fought in the Senate. 1t
is expected that the Republicans of the
Senate will differ from Gen. Garfield and
his followers. Senators Carpenter, Conklipg,
Edmunds and Logan will oppose the bill
upon the ground taken by them during the
extra aession.

New YORK, March 21.-What Mr.. Tilden
thinks personally of the proceedings of the
Pennsylvania Democratic State convention
day before yesterday has not been ascertain
ed as yet, but his friends certainly take a
philosophic view of the meeting. Those
who are accustomed to spsak for Mr.. Tilden
assert that notwithstanding the apparent ad-
vantage gained by the Wallace McGowen
men, there is no reason to doubt the Penn
sylvania convention can be carried for him.
They say that the whole thing was a bit of
political legerdemain, mostly of Tammany
Hall in the palmy days of Boss Tweed. 1t is
long while before the meeting of the con-
ventiop, and in the interior every possible
effort will be put forth to neutralize its ef-
fccts at Cincinnati.
