Thomas Andrews Hendricks was
born on farm near GAINESVILLE, Mus
kingum county, Ohio, Sept. 7th, 1919.
His father was John Hendricks, a
native of Western Pennsylvania, one
OF the first settlers of the LigOnier
Valley, in Westmoreland county, and
an active participant in public affairs,
serving in the State Legislature and
in other positions of trust. When
Thomas was but six months old his
father removed to Indiana, settling
atMadison, on the Ohio River. This
was the home of his brother, VIM.
Hendricks, the second Governor of
the new State, the first Representa-
tive in Congress and afterward the
predecessor of his more famous neph-
CIV in the United States Senate. In
the year 1922 the father of Thomas
concluded to move further into the
interior of the State, and took up his
sidencc in Shelby county, near the
present site of the county seat, Shell
byville, as handsome and productive
alocality as there is in the State of
Indiana. Here John Hendricks
built him a substantial brick house,
winch is still standing, in which his
family was reared, amid the best in
fluences that could be enjoyed in
those pioneer days.

when it knows that Mr.. Hendricks
did not attend the convention OH the

A. Hendricks, the public is familiar.
He has been Representative and Sen
ator in Congress, and twice Governor
of his State, having been elected the
last time to the latter Office in the
fierce campaign of-lS72, when the
State went the other way on the
Presidential issue and ont part OF
the State ticket. Mr.. Hendricks was
always personally popular, not only
in his State, but outside of it and the
enthusiasm elected for him in the
late Democratic Convention bore evil
dcnce of the fact.

What They Say Of McKenzie's
Speech at Chicago

The next presentation was that of
Kentucky, which State, in the person
of Hon. James A. Mckenzie, present
ed the name of John Il. Carlisle. We
do not deal in the language of flatteyr
when we say that it was a superb
oratorical effort, and was the best of
all the speeches made in the Conven-
ton. The breast of every Kentuck-
ian was filled with pride at the tri-
umph thus achieved by one of her
sons, and acknowledged by the uni, e.
sal applause of both floor and CALLER
les. His praise was on every lip, and
all complimented not only the SPLEEN
did delivery, but the manly and indie
pendent sentiments which marked its
conception. -Frankfort Yeoman.
The call of the roll preceded until
old "Kaintuck" was reached. The
name was cheered, and during the
hubbub James A. Mckenzie reached
the platform to speak for Kentucky.
Deviating from established custom,
he made no long introduction, but an
nounced in a few words his purpose
to present the name of John G. Car
Isle TO the convention on behalf of
his state, which gave 500OOdemocrat-
ic majority. The first applause the
speaker elected was by the plea to
bury the old war issue and consider
the war at last as over and as thing
of the past. 1t was repeated when he
formally rendered John G.. Carlisle as
peace offering from the south. Dur
ing his speech the speaker several
times made a half-turn and did not
look the delegates in the face. This
did not suit some, who said: "Fac(
the delegation" AS soon as McKen'
zie had found out what the Interrupt.
ton meant, he drew himself up to his
full height and shouted swell, l an
not afraid to face you !" and from that
moment the audience was with him
and nearly every one of mis- sentences
was rounded offwith applause. Whel
he had ended his brave and manly ap
Ipeal he was cheered to the echo as NJ

The speech of the afternoon was
from Congressman Mckenzie of Ken
lucky, who presented the name Of
John G. Carlisle. Mckenzie had, to,
the best subject. Carlisle is by long
odds the best man who was presented
to the convention. Mckenzie evident
ly knew all about Carlisle, and it was
equally clear that lie was his ferven
admirer lie was one of the few
men who were really eloquent, be.
cause he really had something to say
and believed in his own heart what he
said. He presented Carlisle in the

The Republicans are Directing TO
Cleveland because he conducted the
execution of two murderers while he
was sheriff of Erie county, New
York. The real objection they have
to him is that they fear he will take
Il hand in the execution of the Re-
publican party next November. The
more we know of Cleveland the bet
ter we like him. The man who can
hang murderers in the performance
of his duty as an officer, is the sorI
of a man the Democrats want to chol
off the official heads of Republican
thieves and bribe-takers.

Jefferson Davis at hatcher.

To Mr.. Jefferson Davis, as an individual,
much may be parloned, because much may
be expected by way of extravagant utter
ances in all his references to the rebellion
and the causes which led 10 it. His name,
for all time to come, is to be inseparably
connected with the abortiVe attempt to found
nation, for the purpose of perpetuating
and extending human slavery; in illustra-
ton of a profound contempt for the doctrine
of the Declaration of Independence, which
were the fundamental principles of the gov
ernment. that he aud his allies, North and
South, sought to overthrow. Their fool
hardy effort to retard the crushing advance
of the civilization of the age upon the ''pe-
culiar institution" was as infamous in NOR
ais as it was reasonable in execution. 1t
failed. And, as success alone justifes revo-
luton and transforms traitors into patriots,
Jefferson Dayis's place in history is
fixed. Most of bis associates have been
made patriots (?) by law. But, with lofty
scorn which would bring the blush into the
cheeks of his Northern sympathizers, if such
men could blush, ne has refused such re-
Mobilization, and prefers rather the forlorn
hope of justifyiDg to the future his treachery
to the country whose honors and emosu-
ments be had enjoyed, by PRONUNCIATION, on
every possible occasion, Of his conviction
that the North was wrong and the South was
right!
But Mr.. Jefferson Davis is something
more than an individual. He is no less
representative man of the South to-day,
than when, from the capitol of the pseudo
confederacy, he ordered the armies of the
South against the Government he had more
than once sworn to support. And no hon
est man, who knows anything of Southern
sentiment will undertake to deny that, more
than any other, his name is dear to the
Southern Democratic heart, or that, unre-
constructed and unrepentant as he boasts
himself to be, if Southern electoral votes
alone could elect President, he would be
their first, Last and only choice tor that po-
sition. The Democratic bulldozers in Vir-
ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and South Car
DINA would more cheerfully make the South
solid TO. him than for any other Democrat.
The speech of Mr.. Davis last Monday at
Natchez is significant. 1t was no hasty and
unprecedented deliverance to chance mob
of excitable Southerners assembled, as at
Copiah, for an infamous purpose. He was
delivering, in the Capital of Mississippi,
carefully prepared address at the request
of the Legislature of that State. He was
there, not as an individual, but as repre-
sentative Southern man, speaking to an au-
dience representing the Democratic
sentiment of that State. At such
place and in such presence he
The Portland daily press., 1884-03-13

chose to boast amid "vociferous APP
plause'-that he had never repented ana
to declare "Were the same to be done again
| would do as Ihave done" And he closed
with the prediction, amid CONTINUED
cheering" that ''the South disenthraiieo
would take hold of the helm ana
steer the ship of State into portF'.

enough Northern electoral votes will be unit

Democratic candidate for President. and
thus restore to him and his associates in the
rebellion their "hold of the heinz to "steer
the ship of State into port"-the port they
failed to gain by war. the subsection of the
whole nation to the oligarchy of Southern
aristocrats who despised free lalo or and hated
the institutions Of hberty That is the ex-
act, and monstrous and properly alarming
meaning of his words and of the cheers
with which they were received. II would
seem to be incredible that any man in
all the North who rejoiced when the con-
federacy collapsed at Appomattox, would
aid by voice or vote the consummation of
this Southern hope.
Let no Northern Democrat or political OPP
timist say that this issue is dragged into the
arena of political discussions by Republi-
cans. 1t is forced into prominence by rep
resentstive of that sentiment through which
alone the South is made solid for the De-
mocracy Speaking to, and with the ap-
proval of, representative SouthernerS,
Through whose votes alone the Democratic
party, in this approaching campaign, can
hope to win.
The Republicans will not hesitate to ac-
cept the issue, and closing up their ranks
will move forward once more as unit, 10
save the country from the dangers Of an I'M
regenerate Southern Democratic ballot, as
twenty years ago it rescued the nation from
the assaults Of Southern Democratic bullets.
The nation will be steered into safe and
friendly port, not into a pirates refuge, not
into the haibor of the Mississippi democra-
cy, where men who respect neither law nor
freedom, nor the common rights of human
ity, hold barbaruus sway.

turists of England, he said, were determined
not to submit to vexatious internal restric-

Secretary Frelinghuysen has transmitted
through Minister Sargent reply to Bis
marck's letter returning the Lasker resolu-
ton. THE resolution, Mr.. Frelinghuysen
says, was passed with courteous motives
and the indisposition of this republic
to obtrude it's sound political principles
upon any other nation, as proved by the his
tory of a century, should have contradicted
any suspicion to the contrary. The per-
sonal convictions to which Bismarck alludes
are, the Secretary says, a matter affecting
his excellency alone, and the American gov
eminent is not disposed to inquire into the
relations existing between different branches
of another government. The non-transmis-
sion of the resolution is matter of regret
only, aud of no further concern to either
branch of the United States Government,
concludes the Secretary. The letter is cour-
teous in tone, but at the same time sufi-
GENTLY cutting to satisfy American pride, 1t
says all that needs to be said on the subject
and puts the German Chancellor at great
disadvantage. 1t would seem to be good
ending of controversy, the continuance of
which cannot be profitable All the speeches
that can be made in the House of Represen-
tatives will place Bismarck's action in the
matter in no more unfavorable light than
it is in at present.

says that four United States judges, includ-

The jury, however, took view directly the

The bill which has been introduced into

on the agricultural department of the Privy
Council to stop the importation into Eng
land of live animals from foreign countries
where the foot and mouth disease is raging,
