HOW HENDRICKs BACKS HIS FRIEND.
There was hardly moment IN the speech of eX-
Senator Hendricks in which the question did not
arise As 10 whom it was that he was nominating.
HIS oration was eulogy Of the Democratic plat
form Of 1876 and his manner that OF a man who
knew an only fit candidate, but was prevented by
modesty from naming him. dis speech throughout
was a presentation of principles with which he Is
identified through the canvass Of 1876; and
the only portion which referred to
Mcdonald at al was brief sketch Of
his life and political career pronounced much IN
the style Of a penny newspaper obituary. The
speech was not unex pected and the MANAGERS OF
McDonald's boom had prepared for the emergency
by arranging to have the secondIng speech supply
the plentiful lack Of eulOgy which marked the
speech of Hendricks. The task was well performed
By General Black. of Illinois, Hendricks re-
ceived with an ovation. Cheers were given for the
'old ticket" aud John Kelly and Burke
Cochran made themselves conspicuous By
beInc early on their feet aul waving their
hats. Hendricks accepted the tribute a. duo iin'
and injected the personal pronoun INTO the tTst
sentence he uttered.

would confront the " first IuauEurated Democratic
President In twenty four years and pointed ont

The speech Of Genera. Black, secOuding Melon
ald's nomination. was a vast Improvement upon the
I cold sermon Of Heuducks, which threw a wet
blanket upon the hopes Of McDoualds friends.
General Blacks speech had been written
out beforehand, aud' the production Of an
earnest aduirer and loyal friend and supporter
He was generously appIauded but IL remarked
that his allusiou TO ienlrcks az the " eI-NIcf'
President Of tie United States excited httle
