An Earnest speech Delivered by
Him at COnnersvllle, Ind.
In the course OF q speech at Conners
vile, Ind, last week, Mr.. Hendricks
said: .....
"You know have been several times
candidate. CCries Of And elected once.
Yes, once or twice. have been before
the people Of Indiana more frequently
than desired. When was elected gov
ernor did not want to be candidate.
When was nominated Vice President
before did not want to be candidate.
| did not expect to be q candidate this
time but tell you now, | want your
votes the worst in the world. Laughter,
applause and cries OF 'You will get
them.'1 That is what l want.
"Some people have said the candidate
for Vice President ought not to 90 about
making speeches. Well speak to my
equals, to men who have the deciding Of
the question, and want them to say
when they elect me this fall that the act
which excluded me from the office to
which was elected before was an in
famous outrage. The Republicans believe
now that was elected. have not found
one for long time that was not perfectly
satisfied on that subject, and they are
becoming rapidly Satisfied OF another
thing that is, that it is going to be re-.
peated this fall.
"They tell you that In New York the
Irish people are going against the Demo.
Gratis, and that the laboIing party ia not
going for Cleveland, ami all that. 1t is
not worth while to disturb your minds
about that. The Irishman is natural
Democrat. [Great applause and laughter. ]
| am not speaking Of that in fun, but !
am speaking OF 1t in earnest.
"He has breathed the breath OF
anxious desire for better government in
his own country. When he comes here
his sympathies are for popular govern
ment honestly and economically admin
istered, and there has never been time
when the rights Of foreigners had to be
vindicated in this country that the Dem
ooratio party did not stand by their
rights. Irishmen and Democrats, stand
together. When l was defeated in my
own district at Shelbyville 1t was because
would not be Know-Nothing.

tion that nominated me, suoh as very
few men receive. When they placed me in

Acres of Buildings and Lumber on
Fire and the City Threatened.


Fire and the city Threatened.
CLEVELAND, Sept. Two boys play
ing with matches this evening set fire to
\ lumber pile on the Cuyahoga flats.
These flats separate the east and west
portions Of the city, and are covered
with hundreds Of lumber yards, factories
and foundries. The flames swept over
the dry, seasoned lumber and ignitsd a
dozen large lumber piles In as many
minutes. This was in the immense
lumber yards Of Woods, Perry h Co., and
In an hours time many millions Of feet
OF lumber were in flames. The fire
spread to the lumber yards and planning
mills Of U. G.. King & Co. and the
Sturtevant Lumber Company, and they
were soon in flames.
The entire city fire department was on
the ground but was unable to combat
with the fierce flames. The city lost several
valuable frs engines which were hemmed
in between the fire and the river. This
iremen fed for their lives. Five men
are reported as either killed or injured.
At 9 o'clock the FIRE was beyond control.
a heavy wind from the southwest drove
the flames across the railway tracks
toward the business portion Of the city
and the fire spread into several buildings
The wind then changed to the south
and in half an hour q score Of foundrieI
aud planning mills were in flames and aid
was telegraphed for to Columbus, Toledo
Akron, Youngstown and other points
The loss will certainly be over million
| Atmidnight 100, 900 people were watch
ing the great sea Of flame, the railroad
freight houses were on fire, the Western
Union wires were burned and all tele
graphic communication with the outsid,
world was being rapidly cut of.

piled that he thought not and as he went
ont he saw Libby cooking the revolver
aud just as he shut the door the1fring
began. Her brother who Is at Pine Point

A Detective Among the Murderers
OF the Mormons.

OF the MOrmonn.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 2.-SInoe the state
offered reward Of OIL 900 for the arrest
and conviction Of any or all the mob who
shot and killed the two Mormon elders
on Cane creek, Lewis county, August
18th, detectives have made attempts to
secure come clew that would lead to I'm
portant development. 30 far, however,
no arrests have been made. A Mount
Pleasant correspondent Of the Banner
writes that he was informed that
near the scene Of the Of Elders
Gibbs and Berry was found q
white banner with large red CROSS In
the circle, which rs supposed to be the
flag of an organization formed TO preserve
order and protect citizens from evil doers.
He was also told that an Evansville
(Ind.) detective visited Lewis county to
obtain some information regarding the
massacre. Becoming intimate with q
citizen, the detective asked him II he
ever knew any Of the \ rties concerned
in the killing, to which query the citizen
replied that he knew all Of them and
would reveal their names II he was given
$50. He further agreed to bring one Of
the guilty parties to certain spot where
the detective could take him into Gus
tody. At the appointed hour the
detective was at the place indicated,
and was suddenly surrounded by Az
to 80 masked men. They asked him the
nature of his visit to Lewis county, and
upon being informed, they placed q rope
around his neck and were about to hang
him to tree, when he begged piteously
for his life. They finally agreed to lei
him leave, giving him one hour 10 leave
Lewis county, and IL hours to leave the
state. Before letting him go they placed
a red cross on his hat. He started a
once for Evansville, and was so anxious
to get away that he did not walt for tn,
train to Mount Pleasant, but walked Il
| the next station.
