INDIANAPOLIS, July l5.-The nominatio,
ot Mr. Hendricks Tor The Vice prssidenc,
reopens some old sores that may run beiorI

heir.at.law OF the fraud issue Of 1876. hal

may or may not be true, but his conduc,
has been in such striking contrast 10 tha,
Of Mr.. Mcdonald in 1880 that 1t has revived
the old scandal, and some, II not all, OF the
old animosities Of that year, s'-., y : :

ana. Upon this plea Mcdonald and his
wife were turned out Of the Episcopalisn
church, or, as they cali it here, ''They were
churched." This proceeding was charged
to Mrs. Hendricks and the McDonaids
were forced to seek their spiritual comfort
in tho Presby yterisn church.
CESSATION OF HoBTfL1rHs.
For nearly four years this family feud
raged, but since Mcdonald has had the
bee in his bonnet things have
been softened SO that these people have
been on speaking terms. This cessation
Of hcstilities enabled Hendricks to get his
wife's consent to 20 10 the recent conven.

This is the feeling here and 1t revives all
the old bitterness Of the trick Of 1880.
Now Mrs. Mcdonald is indignant over
the afftont to her husband, and charges
treachery on the part Of the man who has
for twelve years been q candidate for the
Presidency, and each time stood hat in
hand to catch any crun,b from the political
table. 1t is a curious mixture of society
and politics, and just now the Med Donalds
