position of Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office. and assumed the
duties of that responsible position.
In this capacity his work was of a
high order. &
In 1860, after four years service in
the Land Office, he returned to Tndi-
ana, and was the Democratic candi-
date for Governor against Henry S.
Lane. Mr.. Hendricks made a mag
nificent canvas, but was defeated. In
1862, however, he was chosen to the
United States Senate by the Demo-
cratic Legislature of Indiana. Dur
ing the six year term he served his
country and party so earnestly and
we'll that he has ever since been re-
garded as one of the foremost states
men of the country.
In 1868, at the Democratic Nation
al Convention in New York, he was
one of the gentlemen prominently
named as the choice of the Democrat
ic party for President. In 1872,
against his wishes, he was nominated
as the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Indiana, and his great per-
sonal popularity secured him the cleo
ton, although all of his associates on
the ticket were beaten. Mr., Hen
bricks four year term as Governor
strengthened him with the people of
Indiana, and to a greater extent than
any other man he was regarded as
"the favorite son" Of that State. In
1876 he was strongly supported by
the Democracy of Indiana for the
nomination for President, but that
being accorded to Governor Tilden,
of New York, he received the unani-
nous nomination for Vice-President.
With Tilden and Hendricks as the
Democratic candidates Indiana was
carried for the Democracy in October,
1876, and again in November of the
same year, and the fifteen electoral
votes of Indiana went to swell the
victorious column.
Governor Hendricks was married |
in 1915 to Miss Eliza c. Morgan, who
lived near Cincinnati. He has no
living children.

guago stronger than the first. Again
the council went through the farce of
advertising for bids, and awarded the
contract as before. Mayor Cleveland
was aroused. He wrote the famous
veto message which subsequently made
him Governor, and now being effect
ivelyS used TO secure still higher
honor. There was no ambiguity about
the language. In the plainest words
of the English language it told the
council it was a set of thieves. The
council was paralyzed, and hurriedly
awarded the contract to the lowest
bidder. Ringsters were ousted from
office, and his administration saved
the city hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
In 1882 a cyclone of reform and
Democracy swept over the States Of
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and Michigan. Grover Cleve-
land, Robt. L. Patterson, Benz. +.
Butler and Josiah w. Begole felt its
effects. Cleveland was nominated
primarily as a reform candidate, but
was elected as much by the Republi-
cans as his own party. There was
need of driving out the corruptionisis
in the State offices. Who was so fit
ted as Boss Whites conquerorl The
Republicans nominated Charles j.
Folger, secretary of the treasury, and
the vast federal machinery was put in
trim to secure his election. 1t was a
bad year for machine politicians
Cleveland was elected by over 100000
the largest majority ever
given to the Governor of any State.
Since he has been in the executive
office, Governor Cleveland has proved
himself an utter failure as a politician |
in the American understanding of the
word--but has exhibited statesman
ship of the broadest kind. He has
refused to pander to the politicians,
and has kept himself strictly within
the limits of the constitution. When
a measure is laid before him for his
signature, he seeks the advice of no
"chum cabinet" he does not consider
how it will please this or that party
leader, or how it will affect Rochester
or Syracuse, or Buffalo. He retires
to himself, as it were, and passes on
the measure according as he thinks
public policy demands it and the con-
stitution gives him power to approve
or veto it. For this reason he has
been accused of being in sympathy
with the monopolist and careless of
the success of the Democratic party
in the State of New York. States.
is more to him than mere
party. When he vetoed the elevated
five cent fare bill, his enemies
md the partizan press claimed he had
lriven nail into his political coffin.
He did it because he considered the
measure unconstitutional. When Jno.
Dewey was convicted of libel on Au-
gust Belmont, the Irish (all-powerful
n New York, } clamored for executive
,lemency. The Governor refused to
interfere. He held, sentence having
been passed by the court, he had no
light to review its decision. A few
weeks ago he vetoed the bill to restrict
he hours of labor Of car conductors
md drivers. 1t was to antagonize a
powerful body of "heelers" and "strik-
,rs." While in sympathy with the
he declared the legislature

Cleveland in Massachusetts,.

There arc corrupt and dangerous
elements in both political parties.
In the Republican party, they have
at last prevailed. In the Democratic
party, they have been beaten down.
The Republican party is lead by its
tail, and the Democratic party by its
head.
With Cleveland a. the Democratic
candidate, the composition of the two
parties will be materially changed.
Democrats who are in politics for the
spoils and plumber they can get out
of it, will, many of them, openly or
secretly, go for Blaine. The better
portion of the Republican party, EN-
bracing men of principle and indie
pendence, will furnish votes for Cleve-
land. IF the Republican leaders are
satisfied with the exchange, they are
not to be envied their capacity for be-
ing pleased. With reform candi-
date, nominated by the Democratic
party, solely because he is and has
always been reformer, and is accept
able to the reform voters, it looks like
the beginning of the end of the Re-
publican party, as at present organ
lied and led.
On the whole change is desirable.
Twenty-four years is a long time for
one party to have control of the gov
eminent. A party so long in power
grows corrupt and disregardful of
public opinion. A party out of pow
CT so long loses the inspiration to faith
and courage, if not the capacity of
government. A dynasty is unrepub-
lican. 1t is disroyalty to the popular
principle to deny that government
of the people is not safe in the hands
of any majority Of the people. a
change would be useful, if for no
other reason than to disprove the
monstrous and insulting claim of the
Republicans that their party alone
is fit and able to administer the pub
lie affairs.
Even strong and conscientious Re-
publcans need not fear the change.
The war issues are settled. There is
no principle TO be sacrificed, Civil
service reform will be safer in the
hands of a President who has always
been reformer, and has shown both
his disposition and his ability to re-
sist partisan pressure for Office, than
il would be with one who, whatever
his eleventh hour professions, has al
ways been spokesman. There is no
danger Of any injury to labor or the
industries that employ labor, as the
result of Democratic restoration,
Probably seven-tenths of the Demo.
cratic voters belong to the working
class. Will the party be likely tC
use its power to injure its own voters
Or will it turn the business Interests
against it by adopting revolutionary
policy? The fear is groundless. II
addition TO this, we shall have a clean
CIR administration with Cleveland thar
we should have with Blaine. Hi
personal and public character arr
alike without blemish. He is al
honorable, frank, truthful, trustwor
thy man, who has been faithful an'
capable in every position in which h
has been placed. He would make
safe President. Defeat will do the
Republican party good. Success vii
do the Democratic party good.

FRED Douglas, the great apos.
tie of the colored race, said last
week to the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Hcyuld:-
After all, it may be tho very
best thing that could happen to the
negro to exclude him from politics.
For several years this exclusion has
been more complete in Georgia
than in any other State, and the
colored people are more prosperous
there than anywhere else. Being
practically robbed of the franchise,
they let politics alone some time
ago, and have been paying more at
tention to industrial pursuits. As
result thousands of them own
land and are making money. The
Southern people are kindly dispos-
ed toward the negro as long as he
lets politics alone, and will help
him.

putable widow in Avoyelles, who
was wealthy He, as the story
goes, accumulated a considerable
fortune for himself by the use Of
her money. He was younger than
she was. He went back to his ma
tive "Belle France" to visit his
aged mother and sister, where he
remained for some time. He re-
turned again aftes an absence of
about three years and did business
at Moreaurille. He and his wife
lived on different places, meeting
on friendly visits occasionally. He
went back to France in 1883, and
returned with young wife whom
he had married while there. On
his return a domestic scene is re-
ported to have occurred between
the two espoused ladies. The Sc
nior wife instituted suit for divorce
and obtained it some time last year.
In the meantime an heir by the
second wife was born. They lived
together as man and wife affection
ately. So soon as the divorce of
the first wife was granted a second
marriage took place between Gill
bert and his young wife, thus le-
eliminating his new born babe.
The young wife is a stranger and
was reported as being poor
girl in Havre, France. The death
of her husband leaves her large
fortune, reputed to be about one
hundred thousand dollars in cash.
She is to return to France so soon
as her business affairs are settled.
The evidence was reduced to wri-
ting. Judge Blackman had to en-
ploy in most instances an interpre-
ter as the witnesses spoke French.
After summing up the evidence by
the attorneys for defendant Judge
Barbin and Jofrion, which was feel
ingly done, Judge Blackman re-
viewed the testimony and stated
that it was his duty alone to in
qnire if there was a probable cause
of the guilt of the accused-and if
the evidence was strong and the
presumption great.
The Judge rcmanded the pris o.
ner to Jail without benefit of bail.
Public sentiment is much divided.
The standing of young Gaspar in
society is largely in his favor and
will have its effect on the Jury on
the final trial.
