Hendricks and Mcdonald.

THEIR CORDIAL RELATIONSHIPS FORMER EXPRESSES
HIS VIEWS AS TO REMOVALS FROM OFFICE
ADoNALD FOR THE CABINET.
Some remarks made by Vice President-elect Hen
bricks at reception given to him and ex-senator
Mcdonald in Indianapolis the other night are re-
garded as OF Importance being his latest decara-
ton with respect to what he thinks should be done
In the way Of removals from Office by the incoming
democratic administration. He said:
"There are reforms to be made men that are ca
pabe and honest will have to be placed In Office and
II some who are not Of that character shall have
10 give way FOR men OF this class, they may thank
their own fortunes for ii. The men that have In

ocrats MY friend, Mr. Mcdonald, and have stood
SIDE by Side for rs years without questioning one
another, without hlndering one another An is
cheerful and cordial, helping one another In the
fight"
This is considered as plain declaration In har-
mOny With views often expressed by Gov CIeye-
and-that faithful public servants ought not to be
dismissed simply on partisan grounds 1t has often
Deen SAID that Mr.. Hendricks favored a scleau
sweep of good and bad alike If they were repubI-
