4 sut Il.

INDIAN noI 9, June 2.-There has been
s good deal OF an attempt in quiet way TO
work up "Tilden al Hendricks" boom in
Iadia1a, and il il said forty-fve skly
Demo Ratio county papers have already
csUgnJ IN with IT. 1t VIZ intended some
time ego That II , b On wss TO be developed
- FoTt ef counter i-rilaat, so to spesk, 10
d aw OF ne swelling from the Mcdonald
iom, which il found was assuming such dan
gerous proportions thus early in the season
that 1t might possibly break and expend it,
self T fore the time OF the National Clnven-
TOD, and t , it W. limited that McDOnald's
friends would 10 it that there was some
Democratic Presidential talk about some one
else 10 Indiana for g while. But as there
VIZ no other Presidential quantity in the
State they ds must do the next best thing
and as 81 Iilden and Hendricks" was an easy
talking phrc ;, there it was. l do not give
this as the gene is OF this 'Tilden aud Hen
bricks" talk. 1 au only gathering up IN
consider trifes OF the PIT t, and setting
them forth in contiguity. C.rtain it is that
Mr.. Hendricks would not come part of
| this talk TO help the McDc nald boom, for SIS
to hizn, Hendricks, ike "Iago," "doth suspect
the lusty Moor ath leaped into his seat"
There is no nec"-sity Of going over the events
of the Cincinnati Convention OF four Year,
| ago. 1t isenough 10 say that if Hendricks is
willin' 1t is for the same reason that Barkis
was-he wants Peggotty. He would rather
see himself presiding at the north end OF the
| capitol than to ee Mcdonald living all over
the White House. / am led TO these re-
marks by an interview with Mr.. Hendricks
| just published IN the Wabash (Ind.) CoGIi Ter.
Jap Turpen, 2 well. known indisna newspa-
| per man with keen nose for "high" game,
| did the interviewing and it will be seen that
1 be got something definite even from Mr..
| Hendricks Delphie utterance. 10 the be-
| ginning MIR. Hendricks gives satisfactory as
surances as TO his health. "He knew he
| wasn't going to die. though some OF the doc
) tors perhaps thought otherwise" He simply
"stood greatly in need OF rest, which sore
foot arbitrarily imposed" Next Mr.. Hen
| bricks gave satisfactory assurances OF Mr..
| Tllden's health: "From all that he can hear
| II is reasonable 10 suppose that TIlden is in
| better health tina he has been for several
| years" The average voter may perhaps
wonder what kind of double barreled boom
it is that has 10 start out with two health
| certificates, but never mind. Mr.. Hendricks
then proceeded TO pronounce a eulogy Mr..
| Tilden. To the assertion that every post
master between Maine and California wou d
tremble, because they would regard the NOM
nation OF the old ticket "a equivalent TO q
Democratic victory" Mr.. Hendricks laughed
and responded: "There is no doubt come
truth in that" Right here it may be ssked
does this mean that civil service ia to be
killed if Tiden and Hendricks have the say
so? Mr.. Hendricks continued: Mr.. Tilden
is one of the most remarkable citizens OF the
republic. Everything that he does lie COM
plete. A work TO satisfy him must be fin.
ished. His letter of acceptance was the
treatise of perfect master of tue whole sys
TEN OF political economy. His letter to the
| la.t afi (auuanI Oh
mits was one of the most ingenious document!
that ever emana;ed from man, while hi,
friends feel that it was a. strong, candid state
ment, from the highest pos ible plane o.
| patriotism, 1t is wonderful. He has lived
down every calumDy. Every Islander awak
sned By the prosecutions Of that fellow Bliss
and dismissed soon ss they ceased TO be o.
any political benefit, would add to his
strength at this time. The whole county
has watched him closely since ne was de
frauded Of toe Presidency, and th-re has beer
everything in his lie to inspire respect. HI
is indeed great msn."
Then Mr.. Hendricks continues: "Ther
seems to be a strong sentiment in favor of tn
old ticket Four years ago J did not realiz
, the full force of The demand, and l reall,
} felt that had bcen in the position (Vic
Presidency long enough. l did not feel The
] absolute necessity OF taking the second plsce
2 Il was for that reason that l declined, no
from any hostility 10 Mr.. Tilden. Ga tn
) contrary there is no man in the government
9 whose Virtaes held in higher esteem"
And finally, said Mr.. Hendricks, in respons
! to a rehearsal that opinion had been ex
0 prefeed that he would moi take Tho seoou
2 place on the old ticket sgain: "When q dut
; | Ia required of US, however distaslefnl,
: must be performed. l do not doubt that
the old ticket were renominsted it would
s elected"
a This, l submit, is moderately clear stat.
=. ment, aud think there is 10 doubt it
q 10 ade in earnest, for i am sure Mr.. Hendricks
would not knowingly make il merely to bel
8 | the Mcdonald boom.
