Nomination for Second Place.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 13.-Thomas A. Hen
bricks arrived home yesterday, and last
evening a meeting held at the
governors circle to ratify the nominations
which was addressed by Mr.. Hendricks and
Senator Mcdonald. A crowd of five or six
thousand had assembled when the guests
arrived, and they were greeted with great
enthusiasm. A salute was fired and an I'M
limited quantity of fireworks exploded in
honor of the occasion. Mr.. William Fl.
English was chosen to preside and he spoke
at considerable length, arraigning the Repub-
Gcan party for mismanagement of the affairs
of the government. He admitted that the
nomination of Cleveland had not been re-
ceived with universal favor here, but claimed
that the nomination of Mr.. Hendricks would
quite overcome any apathy that might have
been existing toward the other. He conclud-
ed by introducing Thomas A Hendricks,
Indianas favorite son and the next Vice
President of the United States Mr.. Hen
bricks was received with cheers and
q salute from the cannon The
opening words of his speech, which
was brief and well timed, remove all doubts
that may have existed as to his acceptance of
the trust. They were to the effect that he
had not sought the nomination, but that on
the contrary he had no knowledge of the fact
that it was even contemplated, and added
that during the campaign he had no doubt
that he would be assailed by the opposition,
both politically and socially Continuing his
remarks, he denounced the fraud of 1876,
and spoke in most eulogistic terms of Gov
ernor Cleveland.
Senator Mcdonald was next introduced,
was greeted scarcely less warmly than Mr.
Hendricks. He said that he had reason to
be thankful to his friends for their support
at Chicago, but that he was now satisfied
that Mr.. Hendricks was the choice of the peo-
pie of Indiana, in which he cheerfulIy ac-
guessed. He concluded by pledging his I'M
qualified support to the ticket, and declared
that none would be more earnest than he in
efforts to secure the election of the candi-
dates, which he confidently predicted.
Maine in Line-Twenty Thousand ma
jority Promised For Blaine.
LEWISTON, Me-, July Ex-senator Frye
said last night that he considered the Demo-
cratic nomination very weak. He thought
its prospect of success poor and even with a
strong nomination the party would have stood
but slight chance. Mr.. Frye said ten thous-
eL1u 1OI LII AdlI10 WOulu Do d
grand victory He designated as sheer non
sense this talk of carrying the State by co.
600 or 25, 900 and said: ''Three years ago we
lost the State. I was appointed chairman of
the committee and we put in year steady
labor. We worked every day. The cam
paign two years ago was the hardest fought
and most carefully contested in the history
of the State or that ever will be. The larg-
est vote was polled and we were victorious
by five thousand" Senator Frye claims that
Blaine will receive the largest Irish vote any
Republican nominee ever got. The cam
paign will not be opened till the middle of
August and until that time Mr.. Frye will go
out into the country and lie off.
Butler Coming Home-Not Yet Decided
Whether He Will Run Against Blaine
and Cleveland.
BUFFALO, N. Y, July 13.-General Butler
passed through Buffalo on his way back from
the convention early this morning. He left
for Niagara Falls, where he continued on his
way home in the afternood In an interview
had with him while here he said the ticket of
the Democratic party strong
as its authors could make it, but
that the polls would show whether it was
strong with the entire party. In reply to q
question whether he would remain a candi-
date of the Labor Greenback and Anti
Monopolist parties, he said he had not &C
eepted the nominations yet and would not
decide how he would advise his friends until
he had read Blaine's and Cleveland's letters
of acceptance. The Independent Republi-
can element he thought would prove a delu-
sive support to the Democratic ticket.
