CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Hon. Thos. A. Hen
bricks, the Indiana statesman and Cleve-
lands associate on the national Democratic
ticket, arrived at Pullman this morning from
indianapolis, and was visited by large
number of the most prominent citizens of
Pullman. Mr.. Hendricks notified the
Democratic workingmen's central
club, of this city, of his ar
rival at Pullman, and of his
willingness to meet them. The committee
representing this organization arrived at the
hotel shortly after 4 O'Clock. He received
the visitors in the large reception room. The
hotel corridors were packed, and the best or
feeling prevailed. Mr. Thompson, on be-
half of the committee, in addressing him,
said:
''On behalf of committee appointed by
the workingmen's central Democratic club
of Chicago, it becomes our pleasing duty to
welcome you to Chicago. Our club is com.
posed mainly of Democrats, though we num-
Der many in our ranks who formerly afili-
ated with the opposition party, but are now
with us on account of the course of the DEM
ocratic party, in behalf of their interests and
welfare. We cordially greet YOU as espec-
tally representing our INTERESTS

Before O'Clock the aisles were thronged.
and the blue coated preservers of the peace
found it an easy task to keep order. There
was no hauling or jostling, but every
one present waited patiently for the
coming of Mr.. Hendricks. The sons
of toll were brim full of good feeling. The
speaker of the evening was not in a hurry.
but there were no demonstrations Of undue
impatience. A few minutes after O'Clock
Mark L. Crawford called the meeting to or
der and said:
''lt may not be out of place for me to state
at the opening of this meeting that it is called
underthe auspices Of the Central Labor club
Of Chicago. Two men known in the history
of the country have gone forth and pro
claimed that the workingmen are not going
to support the candidate of
the Democratic party. We have
called this meeting to show
that we wish to have Thos A. Hendricks
elected vice president of these United States.
[Applause.l 1t has been claimed that one
JAS. G. Blaine THissesl is the true friend Of
the working classes. Misses If anv
man will show me where he has in any in
stance placed himself on record as the friend
OF the workingman I am willing to sup
port him. 1t has been claimed
thatin one instance ne supported what is
known as the anti Chinese bill. He is one
of the gentlemen who are responsible for the
John Cinnamon coming to this country.
Was it not under Republican rule that the
one of the claims of the
that they brought the
Cinnamon to this couutryl That is one of
the great things the Republicans have done
for the working people of this country. l
viii not talk long, because you want to hear
the statesman and scholar who viii address
you. In conclusion 1 will say there is not
a vice president on this platform !
who does not earn his bread by the sweat of 1
bis brow. When Mr.. Hendricks appeared I.
he was greeted by prolonged applause, and /
when st last comparative quiet had been re-
stored he delivered s. ringing address, 1
synopsis of which appears elsewhere.
