FOR THIRTY YEARS WITHOUT A COMPETITION.
The following is from the address of Judge D
P. Baldwin, of Logansport:
1t was very pleasant to know Governor Hendricks.
While L was at indianapolis | was thrown a great deal
into his company; 1 met him socially and in court.
He was one of the most admirable opponents that it
was ever my good fortune to encounter. While he
was always a gentleman, always courteous, yet he
always insisted on all his clients rights with an elo-
quencs and zeal that did credit to his head and heart.
For the last thirty five years Governor Hendrick never
mad a cJmpest1Tr ha IN any office to which he was
haI'nA was in 1As '4s, 'As and 'n since ne 4s ever se
has been nominated for almost the entire scale of
American honors by reclamation. He was twice
nominated for Congress by reclamation; unanimously
nominated for Governor by acclamation; animou
nominated for the greatest office in the gift of the
and twice nominated by reclamation for the second
office in this great Union-for the vice presidency of
the United States. So 1 am entirely within the facts
when | say that for thirty years he has never had a
competitor for any Office to which he has been nomi-
mated. L don't think this can be said of any other
American statesman or politician.
