Mr. Hendricks responded as foil

L
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Commit
tee: l cannot realize that man could ever
stand in the presence of committee repre-
septIng a more august body of men than that
which you represent. In the language OF
another. ''The convention was large in num-
Der. august in culture and patriotic in senti-
ment," and may not add that because OF the
power and greatness and virtues OF the party
which il represented, it was itself in every
respect a very great convention. LApplause.l
Delegates came from all the States
and Territories, and believe, too,
from the District of Columbia. APP
plause.l They came clothed with authority
to express Judgment and opinion upon all
those questions which are not settled by con-
stitutiOnal law. For the purpose Of passing
upon those questions and selecting a ticket
for the people that convention assembled.
They decided upon the principles that they
would adopt as their platform. They select
ed the candidates that they would propose to
the party for their support, and that the con-
yenfiOn's word was theirs.
THE PLATFORM.
Ihave not reached period when it is pro-
per for me t. consider the strength and force
| Of the statements made IN the platform. Ii Is
| enough for Tae to know that it comes at your
| hands from that convention addressed to my
| patriotic devotion to the Democratic party.
| fApplause.l / appreciate the honor that is
/ dome me. need not question that, but at the
/ same time that 1 accept the honor from you
| and from the convention feel that the duties
and responsibility OF the oflce rest
/
/ il is understood that this particular
/ Office, that of Vice President, does not involve
/ any responsibility, and as general thing that
Il is so: but sometimes it comes to represent
/ very great responsibilities, and it may be 50
| in the near future. For at this time the
| senate of the United States stands almost
| equally divided between the two great parties
and it may be that those two great partie;
4 shall so exactly differ that the Vice Presi

upon questions of law by the exercise o.
casting his vote. Applause.
GRAVITY OF THIS RESPONSIBILITY.
The responsibility would then become yery

bility OF representing n state or district. j
would be the responsibility Of representing

quirements of the people Of the Unite'
States 1t might be, gentlemen, tina

The Democratic National Committee
has been called to meet at Chicago on
the Sth of July next. St.Louis made
strong pull for the convention but was
defeated on the third ballot by vote
of 81 to II. There is no importance at
tached to the selection in political cir
cles. Chicago was chosen because of
her climate and excellent hotel accom-
modations Democrats inCOngress gener-
ally express satisfaction with the action
of the committee, and determined eff
fort will be made to adjourn Congress
before the convention meets. The call
is very short and shadows no line of ac-
ton:
Each state is entitled to a representa-
ton therein equal to double the num-
Der of its Senators and Representatives
in the Congress of the United States.
The Democrats of each organized Terri
tory and the District of Columbiaare
entitled to send two delegates, subject
to the decision Of the Convention as to
their admission. All the Democratic
conservative citizens Of the United
States. irrespective of past political as
sociatiOns and differences, who can unite
with us in the effort for pure, economl.
cal and constitutional government are
cordially invited to join in sending dele
gates to the Convention.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-02-28

Col. Bob INGERsOLL delivered his
lecture on "Orthodox Theology at
Kansas City last Friday evening to a
81. 1886 90 audience. People may like to
listen to Mr.. INGERsoLL speak, for his
light. surface talk on the gravest sub
ject of the day is probably Entertaining.
He selects the weak points of the Bible,
as any one of average intellect is able
to do, eliminates the context and pleas
es an audience by his fallacious, hui
morous reasoning. Such men as MR..
INGERsoLL will never do the Bible or
christianity any serious or lasting harm.
If any of the accepted central truths of
the Bible are to be destroyed, such as
the creation of the world and the origin
of man, such men as DARWIN, HUX-
LEY and TYNDALL will do it. And if
scientific research and investigation
demonstrate unquestionable truths
which shall oppose the Bible, a valuable
point will be reached without necessa-
rily doing violence to christian thought
On the contrary, the accepting of scien'
tific truths as fast as they appear
strengthens christianity and reduces
the opportunities of such light weight
Scoffers as INGERSOLL.

The Wool Growers.

The Kansas City Times says that 1.-The
wool growers, probably the most de-
serving of protection, made lame ex-
position of their cause before the ways
and means committee the other day:
You prefer high-priced raw materi-
ais. then?' asked Mr.. Hewitt. Mr..
Whitman replied that under the tariff
the price of wool has decreased in the
United States, and Nh. AmidOwn showed
that Oh January l, 1884, NN Ohio cloth
ing wool was selling at SO cents against
A cents on January l, 1882, and Xxx
New York, Wisconsin and Michigan
wool at 81 cents against 40 cents two
wears ago. Mr.. Amidown read state
ment that the selling prices of cotton
goods have fallen 80 per cent. to 81 per
cent, and of blankets So per cent to A
per cent. in two years. ITO what do
YOU attribute the decline?n asked Mr..
Herbert. ITO the constant agitation
of the tariff question" was the reply.
The favorite argument of the protec-
tiOnists is that protection stimulates
the manufacturing interests and home
production, and by increasing the sup
ply decreases the price to the consumer.
1t is the logic of the boy who under
took to lift himself over the fence by
his boot straps, but Mr.. Whitman, as
well as the rest of them, seems not to
know it.
Indeed, it did not occur to Mr.. Whit
man that other people could also make
comparisons, but they have done so all
the same, and show that ON January 1,
1882, middling cotton was worth liz
cents, and on January l, 1854, 10s cents;
No. 2 red wheat was worth S1.45 on
January 1, 1882, and S1.14 on January
1. 1884: No. 2 corn was worth III cents
on January 1, 1882, and 65 cents on
January 1, 1884; patent flour was worth
Sc. 5O(dS.5O on January 1, 1882, and
s5.25(6S6.75 ON January 1, 1884.
What was the cause for the decline in
unprotected articles? Of course Mr..
Whitman was not interested in them
and did not explain. He might have
also referred to the decline in railroad
stocks, but that would not have illustra-
ted his theme either.
1t is fact which the representatives
of the wool interests cannot conceal,
that the low prices prevail in spite OF
the tariff. 1t is not able to do even
what is claimed for it in the interest of
the manufacturers, but it is further
fact that whatever the tariff that much
is taken from the consumer and given
to the producer.
There are a number of enterprising
wool growers in Kansas and Missouri,

lett his fathers farm, near Jessie, Ind,
to pay visit to an uncle residing III
Abilene, Kansas, boarding the Wabash
train for that purpose.
AS one of the objects of his visit was
to engage in business for himself, his
Maternal ancestor furnished him with a
neat roll of crisp new greenbacks, at
the same time warning him, as this
was his first trip beyond the boundaries
of his own county, to beware OF confl-.
dence sharps. All this the young man
eagerly denounced, and pOcketing his
governors cash, started on his journey
to the wild west.
At Decatur, ILL.,, very nicely dressed
gentleman entered the car, and taking a
seat beside the young man, engaged
with him in conversation. 1t soon
leaked out that the smooth gentleman
was a prominent merchant of Abilene,
well acquainted with the young mans
uncle-in fact, doing business next door
to him. This broke the" ice, and in a
short time the pseudo merchant had
agreed to employ his newly formed ac-
ouaintance at comfortable salary. In
response to query as to where he was
going, the man from Abilene stated
| that he was on his way to st. Louis to
purchase some goods, as well as to pay
| the freight on previous shipment. At
| this iuncture another gentleman enter
| ed the car and was at once recognized
by the Abilene man as the freight agent
to whom he was to pay the money. The
usual conversation ensued; the agent
wanted his money, the debtor had moth
ing but a check on the Meridian Nation
al Bank of indianapolis for $3.50. AS
| the agent was unable to cash it, Metz
ger was appealed, to and of course he
readily furnished the money, receiving
in return the bogus draft properly in
dorsed. The party continued together
until the train reached Quincy, when
the merchant and MetZger parted, Metz
ger coming to this city over the Hannl-
bal and st. Joseph, his friend promis-
ing to meet him here after making his
Purchases in st. Louis. Soon after ar
irving here he accosted Mr.. A. Nearly
at the Union Depot, asking him if he
could cash check for him. When the
check was produced and pronounced
bogus, the young man called to mind
| the advice of his father and wondered
how he could have been so easily duped.
