NICE-PRESIDEN TIENDRICkS.


/ itt-i itSlN!tHt i1ttltifIckS arrived at Ill
| dlanapolia last Friday. He is III cx
| cellent health and is looking better than
he has for years To Times Reporter he
said | shall stay at home the greater
part OF the Summer, with the exception
| OF possibly one trip East, rs | am under
engagement to deliver an address before
| the students and Alumni of the Law
| School Of Yale College. My subject will
| probably be The Supreme Court of the
| Gnited States and the influences that
have made ii the greatest judicial trlbunsi
i'll the world | have been exceedingly
| busy n Washington. and am glad to get
back home"
During the conversation which followed
| and which was by no means in tne nature
of an interview, Mr.. Hendricks said 81
think the Administration is getting along
very we'll. \ great many people do not
understand that it IS necessary for new
Administration, which is almost totally
unacquainted with the details of the Gov
ernment, to go quite slowly and cautious
~ and this Mr. Cleveland and his Cabinet
are doing There is a feeling, however,
that the Administration has not been de
cided enough in various ways"
''Do you think that there will be a
sweeping and general removal of the Re
publican office holders throughout the
countryy'
Il would not put it that strongly" re-
sponded Mr.. Hendricks, ''but | do think
that there will be a great many removals
made. Yes, SO far as | know, the Admin
istration, in general way, is receiving
the cordial support of the leading Demo
Gratis of the country, with possibly few
exceptions in the direction | have indicat-
ed-that is, that the President has been
possibly a little too conservative in certain
respects
The conversation turning npon tho re-
cent controversy over the Indianapolis
Post Office Mr.. Hendricks said 81 felt
assured all along that | had the support
of a majority of the people of Indianapolis
in urging the appointment of Mr.. Jones'
and this feeling has recently grown much
stronger. No your man in Congress had
finer prospects than Mr. Bynum when he
went there. He certainly is gentleman
of very decided ability, and during the
campaign last year as far as ! could learn
he was one of the ablest debaters we had.
He and John w. Kern and Judge Hord
were especially strong in this direction. y"
What about the rumor that Gov. Gray
was in Washington consulting with You in
regard to the best method TO secure his
election to the United States Senate two
years hence, as against Mr.. McDonald>"
''The is absolutely no truth in it, said
Mr. Hendricks Gov Gray arrived in
Washington just before | left, and | did
not even know he was coming | showed
him what little attention | could but the
matter of the United States Senatorship
was not even mentioned by us.
Tonight Nice-President Hendricks was
serenaded, a crowd of about $50 people in
front of his residence. In his response to
a short address of welcome by f. G.
Buskirk he SAID Il have incurred some
criticism in the newspapers because staid
in Washington to help my friends into
public office. Why should it be so2 Af
ter asking the people for their votes they
now ask me to help them. Shall not do
so! Whether | succeed in helping them
or not am not to be charged with being
an migrate, for do what | can. Why is
it that for this the newspapers criticise
me? \ man comes to Washington: he
him from the President down, and shall
ceive office but those who are sufficiently
known as politicians at Washington
am glad did stay and attend to that duty
| will tell you what is the real reason. 1t
is because | am Democrat and believe in
those principles that take the common
people by the hand and place them on an
equality with the most fortunate. A
scribbler from Washington sends on to
one Of his papers here that Mr.. Hendricks
is about the greatest beggar in Washing
ton. | have had no purpose of increasing
and partiality of the people for myself.
No: shall have no future connection with
any ticket, bat such criticism will not
