EN Gov. Hendricks Tells of His Love
Feast with Tilden in 1879.


Indianapolis, June S.-The Hon. Thomas
A. Hendricks was to-day interviewed by cor
respondent as to the truth of an article in a
Baltimore paper which stated THAT in the his
toric Saratoga interview between himself and
Mr.. Tilden the latter treated him with studied
discourtesy, and from that time until after
the election evinced no desire for any inter
course with his colleague ON the ticket as to the
management of the campaign Mr.. Hendricks,
when asked: "fIs that trueT' replied, "There
Is not q word of truth in it, nor
particle of foundation for the statement.
There was some delay in the publication of
the letters of acceptance both of MIR. Tilden
and myself. Shortly after the convention i
went to Saratoga for the purpose of meeting
Mr. Tilden and comforting with him in regard
to our letters of acceptance. At that time
neither Mr.. TiIden nor myself had written
our letters of acceptance, and for purely per-
sonal reasons, relating to his private business,
he was not ready to write his letter, and ex-
planned his reason. think we had
two interviews during this visit to

SUICIDAL

The republican party of Illinois has
committed suicide. 1t got upon beer
keg, placed the Harper bill around its
neck, and kicked the keg out from under
it. And there ithangs, and will be lashed
to death by the votes of the people. Let
it hang; let it die 1t has outlived its
usefulness, if it ever had any.
The republican party dug its own grave,
crawled into it, and pleasantly invited the
democrats to throw on the clods.
Does any reasonable and sound think
ing citizen suppose, for one mment, that
the republican party will carry the state
OF Illinois? Chicago alone, will defeat
it. The Harper bill will give the demo
Gratis $4,000 majority in that city. That,
alone, is enough to turn the scale. The
democrats should feel jubilant, for victory
is surely theirs.

continuing his remarks for the most part to
questions of the division of routes. He main
tanned that no divisions of plunder

PRETENDED PROTECTION

The steamship City of Berlin, says the
st Louis Republican, which arrived at
New York on Monday last, brought over
100 skilled male and female operatives,
under special contract to work in New
England cotton and wooden mills at Fall
River Mass; Collinsville, Conn, and
POwnal, Vt. They are from England and
belong to the "pauper labor class" which
New England manufacturers make such a
pretense of protecting our own working
men against. They are imported be
cause they are willing to work for lower
wages than are paid TO our own work
people.
After all, then, the regard which these
manufacturers profess for home labor is
bald pretense, When they ask for a
tariff on foreign goods of 80 to 20 per
cent. they plead that it is for the pro-
lection of home labor against the compe-
tition of foreign paupcr labor But when
they cody put this protective tariff in
their own pockets, cut down the wages
of their operatives, and send to the
pauper labor districts for men and
women to work at the reduced rates in
place of the operatives they turn off
what shall that be called? If our pro
tective duties are really what they pre-
tend to be, taxes on foreign manufactures
for the protection. of American work
people, why not protect them directly and
efficiently by levying high duty on i'm
ported foreign labor as well as on the
products of such labor

One of the saddest cases that ever came
before q court was that of Catharine
Burneson, Philadelphia woman, who
killed little girl. She pleaded guilty,
and evidence was presented to show ex-
tenuating circumstances. The woman
was seriously i'll, and the school children
gathered under her window, shouting for
her to come out, and calling her filthy
names. For the purpose of frightening
them away she arose from her bed, and
opening window, pointed a pistol al
them. Her nervousness and excitement
were so great that the weapon struck the
window sill and was discharged, killing
one of the children in the crowd outside

Some years ago Julia Van .Dyne was a
servant girl in a respectable family on
Frederick avenue. Itwas at the time that
Leadville was at the height of its fame,
and she went there. Young girls were in
demand, and she had no difficulty in find
ing employment at good wages. II the
course OF a year or so she had saved a
snug sum of money, and her next step
was to start boarding house. Those
were days when $12 week for table
board was considered moderate return
for good food. Everybody was making
money hand over fist, and Julia at the laps
lapse of period of several years had q
handsome account to her credit at one OF
the Colorado banks. Some fortunate in
Vestments in mines brought ten fold
return, and when Julia was ready to gra-
tify her longing for the scenes of her ear
ller girlhood she was able to draw check
for $50, 600 and have it honored at any
bank in the carbonate camp.
She left Leadville and removed to one
of the East, where she entered ladies

completed her course, she determined to
make her wealth the means of benefiting

employer with plan which, meeting.witl
his approval, she has for several days
past been preparing to put into active
practise. She is at present going from

all young girls who, like her, are compel

who count on that are reckoning without
their host. The republicans are On the
down grade, and the next turn of the
wheel will put the gani old fenocratic
party on top. There is no use trying to
save the republican party. 1t is weighed
down with too much rottenness. Its
Robesons, its Chambers, its Keifers, and
its Camerons have rode it to death. The
necessities of the times called it into
power. It's corruption has killed it.
