Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE. Ind, Nov. 26.--The sudden and I'M
expected death of Vice president Thomas A
Hendricks, at Indianapolis, yesterday evening"
creates deep sorrow in this city, where he had
many warm personal friends. But few weeks
ago he visited this city, and at the hotel was
called upon by a large number of friends of
either party to whom he extended the most
cordial greetings. He was then in the enjoy
ment of apparent good health, hence the shock
which last evenings sad announcement produced.
To Thomas A. Hendricks as a partisan, the peo-
pie of Delaware county were antagonistic but for
him as citizen, as a man of ability and a
Christian gentleman they had the highest re-
spect, and at this time, when the Nation mourns
his death, their sorrow is unfeigned and sincere,
while their deepest sympathy goes out toward
the wife, who has been deprived of her husband
and companion. In this city flags are to-day
floating at half-mast and, although it has been
Thanksgiving day-usualy day of rejoicing
evidences of sorrow are conspicuous upon every
hand In the union Thanksgiving services
held this morning at the M. E. Church, appro-
pirate reference was made to the death OF Mr.

at half-mast.
Dispatches to the Associated Press from the
East and South are filled with expressions of re-
greet at the sudden demise of Vice president
Hendricks. AS the fact was not generally
known until this morning, and as the day was
a legal holiday, no general public expression in
the way of meetings or eulogies has taken
place; but everywhere the public sorrow is
evidenced in the half-mastng of flags. not only
on public, but private buildings and residences,
and the gathering of citizens in knots at the
street corners to discuss the political complied
lions likely to arise from his sudden taking
off. Dispatches to this effect came from
Jacksonville, Fla: Chattanooga, Boston. Buffa-

AS to Mr.. Hendricks intellectual equipment,
IL Is SUFFICIENT to say that he was eminent at the
bar, and no man can be that without a broad and
comprehensive intellect In ali his personal and
social relations he was man of the highest in
tegrlty. His private character was spotess, and
the people of Indiana had great confidence in
his honesty of purpose and his regard for the
public good. Whenever he was a candidate for
office he got votes from Republicans, because, in
spite of political differences, they liked him and
respected him man, and they believed that
he would do what he believed to be right, and
that he was beyond the reach of sordid tempta
tons.

Proclamation by Governor HoadIy.


COLUMBUS, O., Nov Ex-Governor Hoadly has
issued the following proclamation:
ITO the People of Ohio:
Thomas A. Hendricks. Vice president of the
United States, died at indianapolis Wednes-
day, Nov Is, 1885. His memory will be cher
ished, not merely by reason of the high station
he filled at the time of his death, but because of
his long, faithful and wise public service. To US
his loss is special, for, although removed from
Ohio. his native State, while yet child, he was
often and for much time in our midst,
and had become the trusted counsellor and
familiar friend of very many citizens of the
State. Sweet temper, engaging manners and
wide scope of intellectual vision, enabled him to
engage in party conflict without that acerbity
and bitterness which engender personal hostility
and leave painful memories. In honor of his
memory the State-house will be draped in
mourning, the flags upon all public buildins be
displayed at half-mast, and the National Guard
wear the usual insignia of sorrow for the Gus
tomary PERIOD and it is recommended that all
public Offices be closed upon the day of the flu
neral. and that full expression be given to the
general grief Given under my hand.
