Conflict of 1876,

Mr.. Hendricks was the nominee Of the Democracy
for 1.-THE Vice Presidency, being second on the
famous ticket, "Tilden and Hendricks" He sue
ceeded in carrying his own State by about 5000
majority but as is well known met with defeat
In the summer of 1877 Governor Hendricks, ac-
companied by Mrs. Hendricks, made tour OF
Great Britain and France, and upon his return 10
America resumed the practice of law.
Mr.. Hendricks continued his law pracLlce LOT
some time and remained in comparatively quiet
life uutil the summer of 1884. AT this time many
of his friends talked strongly of nominating him
for the Presidency but 1t was not deemed sadvisa-
tion was given to Grover Cleveland OF New York.
Mr.. Hendricks however was the only candidate
for the Vice Presidency His name was present
ee to the Chicago Convention by Senator Wallace
of Pennsylvania and the nomination was second
ed by Governor Waller of Connecticut. There was
great enthusiasm at the time the vote was taken
and it was with difficulty that the chairman OF the
convention got an opportunity to make formal
announcement of the vote. He finally said that
there had been SIC votes cast and all of them for
Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks and he was therefore
the candidate Of the convention for the Vice
President of the United States. The Democratic
bricks became the Vice President of the country
Since his election he has appeared in public but
few times, remaining at his home in Indianapolis
where he died so suddenly yesterday.
Mr.. Hendricks in 1845 married Miss Eliza O.
Morgan, who lived near Cincinnati, Ohio, and is
the granddaughter Of the late DR.. stephen Wood
a prominent citizen and an early settler OF Hami-
ton county. Only one child was born to them,
son, who lived to be but three years old.

is that this move is made to forestal legislation on

PANAMA. Nov. 25-The force of Caceres num-
bered 1000 men at the time of his occupying
,Jaulua, but that large number deserted him be-
fore the late struggle at Huaripama. After his
defeat Caceres was advised to capitulate, but he
said he would do so only when his army had dis
persed. This decision caused all of his officers
except one to leave him. Most of the officers, in
cluding nearly all of the commandants of battal-
ions and Caceres ministers, surrendered to the
government project at Tarma. The general opin-
ion is that the revolution is about crushed.
