CHICAGO, January Sin an interview here to day
Vice President-elect Hendricks speaking OF the re-
cent campaign, said he was convinced that the
proper mode OF conducting a presidential contest
was to discuss the political issues involved and hot
make an attack on the presidential nominees He
was not fuly prepared TO admit that the attack on
Sen Gaf1eld'S connection with the DeGolyer con-
ttacts benefited the republican nominee for Pres-
dent in 1880, as he claimed that the main Tight on
Garfield was on account OF the latters connection
with the electoral commission OF 1876, and was
therefore political issue and proper subject for
discussion. Mr.. Hendricks alluded 10 the excite
ment attending the recent election Of the demo-
cratic ticket, and said that for short time after
election day in November he believed a second pro-
tracted struggle like that OF 1876 IN store Tor
continued the Vice Pres.dent-elect "This Is the
fourth time that an election in which was a cam
didate has been so close that both sides claimed 1t
until the Official count was declared" While not
admitting that he was in the least posted on the
members OF President-elect Clevelands cabinet,
SoV hendricks said he believed that the southern
states should be represented among the Presidents
advisers He had received letters from southern
gentlemen who had suggested the propriety OF
leaving out the south In The selection OF the cabi
net To these epstles he had replied, the
opinion that such a course would be Il virtual ad-
mission that the statesmen OF the south were not
aualifled lor cabinet positions. an admission that
was wholly unwarranted. Mr. Hendricks laughed
over the current report that his meeting with Gov
SAcstianh hdu uot betb Oh tHt HlCSy pleasant
character He said he had no intention or inter-
fering with any of the Presidents purposes pollti-
cal or otherwise. Mr.. Cleveland, he said, he re-
garded as OF most decided character but this i'm
preston was gained more from his record as gov
ernOr OF New York than from personal Interviews
Referring TO the Pres1denteects letter on the civil
service law. the Vice Presdent-elect said he be-
neved that the removal OF the intensely Partisan
ofnce-hoders, as was announced by Gov. Cleveland,
would satisfy the democrats and keep the Presi,
dent DuSy Tor some time In Filling vacancies MIR
Hendricks thought that Mr.. Blaine had made a
mistake In dsmissing his libel suit against the
indianapolis Sentinel on the ground that lie could
not secure astice at the hands OF jury IN Indiana
He Claimed that IL would have been better IL the
case had been dismissed without such reflections
on the people OF Indiana.
His FUTURE MOVEMENTS
Gov Hendricks says. referring TO his future
movement. Jnat he wnl not break up his home In
Indianano..S ad remove TO Washington; his duties
as Vice President did not demand that sacrifice he
thinks lie would probably take rooms at some
Washington hotel, remaining there about month";
or during the special session OF the Senate AL the
long session. commencing in December, he would
possibly take house and set up housekeeping.
