A prominent physician who was Mr.

A prominent physician who was Mr.,
Hendricks friend and attendant for a
longer period than any other physician
states that Mr.. Hendricks did not die
OF heart paralysis, as stated by Indiana
polls reports. He states that several
years ago Mr.. Hendricks was stricken
with paralysis, and from this he never
fully recovered, his father having died
from degenerated blood vessels. The
most rational explanation of the paral.
ysis is that an artery of the brain
burst. In a couple of years he was
attacked with senile gangrene OF the
toe. a disease caused by the degenerate
bio )d-vessels. After his toe sloughed
off, he recovered. Later he dies sud-
denly, and the cause is supposed by one
physician to be heart failure, and an
other to be brain clot.

st. Louis Chronicle :-"The wonder.
tul outpouring of the people to attend
Vice-President Hendricks funeral has
a meaning. When other vice. presi-
dents have died, the attendance at their
funerals and other marks of respect
and sorrow shown them have been
very tame affairs compared to the OBJ
sequies of Indiana's honored citizen.
Should either ex-President Arthur or
the renowned poultry dealer of FIRE.
mont, Ohio, named R. B. Hayes, de-
part this life, little would the people
mourn. Should Hannibal Hamlin, of
Maine, die, he would undoubtedly
have avery large village funeral-noth-
ing more. Mr.. Hendricks was a strong
partisan and was hated by his political
opponents. He was not a great states
man, and was not admired for his
overtowering abilities. Mr.. Hendricks
was a good nan He was an honest
man.. He was a brave man. These
are the characteristics that endeared
him to the American people regardless
Of party. The honest, brave citizen
and the good, devoted husband, won
the love of his countrymen."

Immediately went into a fight over the
United States senatorship. The Bar

numerous speeches a vote was taken,
and the motion was lost by q vote of

and it was conceded that Daniels had
won the lead. After further debate
it was agreed not to press the nomina-

coming to a vote, it was agreed that
the caucus would adjourn until next
Monday night, when a nomination will
be made. The Daniels men are
iubilant at his success.
