PTTsBURG, Nov. 19.-Vice President-elect
Hendricks, accompanied by his wife, Sena-
tor Voorhees, and several other friends,
passed through the city this morning enroute
TO Brooklyn, where Mr. Hendricks takes part
N general jollifcation to be held there to-
morrow night. The distinguished party
sravel in Pullman hotel car and remained
In the Union depot upwards of half an
hour. The representative of the
GLOBE found Mr.. Hendricks pre-
pairing for breakfast. He spoke of the
extreme satisfaction prevailed throughout his
state over the result of the election. claiming
that the Democracy had made magnificent
fight, and that the majority in that state was
double that of his most sanguine expecta-
tions. He had expected a much greater
plurality in New York, but was not sufH-
eiently acquainted with the situation In that
state to discuss the causes which lea to the
Democratic triumph there. In regard TO the
new cabinet he said
81 hardly think that Mr.. Cleveland stands
In any need of help in the matter He is
very independent, and while he will un-
doubtedly take the advice of the Democratic
leaders in regard to such appointments, it is
something about which nobody knows any
thing yet. Personally have not had time
TO consider any question relative to the ad-
ministration. Mr. Voorhees,, who accompa-
nies me, is going to New York on private
business, and my meeting with him was purely
accidental. ] am going on an invitation to
attend a Democratic jolliication meeting in
Brooklyn, tomorrow night"
''The question now agitating federal Off
GERS is whether there win be clean sweep
or not.n
''Of that, of course, I can't say. Since
the election l have not paid much attention
to political matters, and have talked to very
few Democrats. Mr.. Cleveland as
governor has been very con-
servative in these matters, but as
to his course as president cannot say. As
to my own views of the matter, having
thought so little upon that subject, 1 cannot
now give any expression"
He then expressed hopeful views in regard
to the future prospects of American industry
in general.
Senator Voorhees, secuted the
idea of any political significance
attached to his accompanying
Mr.. Hendricks to New York, saying that the
statement of the morning papers that his
mission was to have a definite understanding
with Mr.. Cleveland regarding the share of
Offices which shall be the apportionment of
the Indiana Democracy was wholly wrong, and
that his mission was strictly private business.
Mrs. Hendricks, who accompanies the
party is handsome elderly lady, apparently
much younger than her husband. She en-
ters thoroughly into the spirit of satisfaction
attendant upon the success of the ticket by
the governors friends, and remarked laugh
ingly:
''It does seem nice to get in out of. the
cold after freezing for tweuty-four years.
