Ex-Governor Hendricks, received by q
citizen of that city In answer to an
inquiry concerning the rumors effecting q
change In the national Democratic ticket
consequent upon the reports published
against Governor Cleveland:
ISp1KNzpo11s, Aug. 81, 1ss4.-I have your
letters of the 10th instant. Icannot consider
with favor your suggestions Of a change in
the national ticket. The action of the con-
yention cannot now be reconeidered, and
think it ought to stand. / do not agree with
you in respect to the probable result. l think
the probabilities are favorable to the success
Of our ticket. The Cleveland scandal will not
have weight with the people, and ought not
to have weight. 1t is unworthy the national
contest Three times Governor Cleveland
has stood the test Of popular canvass-once
for the office of mayor in his own city-and
each time he received the endorsement of his
neighbors by vote largely above his party
strength. Whatever there may have been OF
the scandal existing before, it is not just

The public welfare requires that he be judged

"Most certainly. He cares nothing
about Mr.. Cameron's wishes, and has

cate early just what he wants done in
that state, and just what he does not
want done. The Republicans will elect
125 members OF the next house OF repre-.
sentatiyes, Of whom MIR. Cameron's
friends will have a possible rs. When
those rs gentlemen find that Mr.. Cameron
represents nothing but the Cameron
dynasty that lived and bloomed in
another age and can't be propogated,
they will turn in disgust from Mr..
Cameron and consult Blaine, the real and
only living Warwick. Yes, sir" warmly =
