ANOTHER INCRNDIARY FIRE IN BED
FoRD.-The Bedford Sentinel of Wednes-

six miles northwest of Liberty, was burned
to the ground yesterday morning about |
o'clock. Two yourg men, Henry Jennings
and Robert Elliott, were sleeping in the
store at the time, and barely had time to
escape from the burning building. They
occupied the rear room of the building, and
when they awoke the entire house was in
flames. The books, papers, safe, and a
small lot of shoes, was all that was saved
The building belonged to Mr.. Ro. Kelso,
and was insured for four hundred dollars.
Messrs. Norman & Carnefix estimate their
loss at three thousand dollars, with insur-
ance to the amount of twenty-five hundred
dollars.
From what we can learn there is no
doubt about the fire being the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire in the
house since last winter. We hope they
may be apprehended and-hung up to the
first tree"

that"
But, won't you say whether or not Tur-

you correctly; would you like to hear what
he says?"

"Did you understand that he was inter-

Will He Deny 1t?

Special to Cincinnati News-Journal.
TIE alleged interview with Governor Hen
dricks in the Wabash Courier, which appears
in an indianapolis special to the New York
Times to-day, in which Mr. Hendricks is
made to say that he would accept the nomi-
nation for second place if it should be the
pleasure of the convention to nominate the
''old ticket" is universally discredited by
Indianians here. They say such statement
from Mr. Hendricks would simply be sui
cidal, as it would be interpreted to mean that
he was prompted by malice against ex-Sena-
tor Mcdonald and that Mr.. Hendricks, hav-
ing been thought by his friends to be large
enough man for President is therefore too
large a man to be malicious. Besides, it is
We'll known to Indianians that Mr.. McDon-
aid, st Cincinnati, exhibited the highest type
of magnanimity in his devotion to the cause
of Governor Hendricks, and it is not believed
that the latter, even though he may not ap-
preciate it as highly as the friends of both do,
would scott at it, and, in an interview with
an obscure country paper, by proclaiming
his own selfish purpose to defeat Mr.. Nc
Donald's prospects. Mr.. Hendricks's friends
do not credit the interview and will be sur
prised if it remains suncontradicted moment
after it meets his eve.

be manipulated by a small cabal of senator's,
each one OF whom was supposed to have an
ak he wanted ground to a very fine edge.
The other, the very obvious thought that
would occur to the ordinary man, why, if
Indiana was to furnish the candidate,
such eminent men and valuable politi-
cal servants as Hendricks and Voor-
hees should be passed over and sighted?
The Mcdonald boom was therefore, begin
ming to lose its fair proportions and assume
sckly hue when it received an additional
kick by the suggestion that the Democrats
all over the country were beginning to look
to the nomination of the old ticket with
which the Democratic party won its only
victory in the last twenty-five years The
suggestion was attempted to be derided but
it has gained strength every day; and now
comes the announcement that Mr. Hendricks,
SO far from being unwilling to run as second
to Mr. Tilden, has the highest admiration
for his genius and character, and regards it
as his duty to submit himself to the demands
OF the Democratic party, and lend his name
to accomplish the victory which shrewd pol
iticians say will surely follow the old nomi-
nation,

at Cincinnati, instead of General Hancock,
he intended to make his campaign on the
basis of an attack on the Republican party
founded on these frauds, just as he made his
campaign for the governorsihp on the
frauds of the canal ring. When he
was defeated as q candidate, however,
his regard for the success of the
Democratic party did not, as l remember,
lead him to turn over to General Hancock
his evidence and his issue, but instead he
quietly suppressed it and left poor Hancock
to run alone on the local issue of tariff If
there is any doubt of the knowledge possess
ed by Mr.. Tilden on many of the facts of the
star-route frauds at the time of which have
spoken, Charles F. Mclean can if he will, set
that doubt at rest. Now, if Governor Hen
bricks proposes to run on ticket with Til
den on the basis of the innocence Of the star
route conspirators, he will be likely to find
that Tilden is standing on the platform of
their guilt. I would suggest to Mr.. Hen
bricks that the Democratic party is likely to
have quite as much as it can do to straddle
the tariff issue without undertaking also to
straddle the issue of public corruption"
