Governor Hill Made Big Impression
On His Recent Visit e. Indiana.
(New York HeFsid)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind July 2.-Governor
Hill has scored a great political point
by his visit to Indiana. The most ar
dent supporters of ex-President Cleve-
land admit that before Hill came among
the Hoosiers he had but few followers
among them. Tonight all 'the boys"
are for Hill.
He has been courted by Democrats
big and little since he arrived in the
city, and he seems to have made friends
with all whom he has met. Several
newspaper men have tried to interview
him, but he has declined to say any
thing for publication.
Major General Sickles and R. r. Soper
are doing the Governors talking on the
trip. The former said to the newspaper
men to day that eff New York furnishes
a Democratic candidate in 1892 Hill will
be the man."
The Governors candidacy, so long
hinted about by Western politicians, has
become living fact, so far as Indiana
is concerned.

and called upon Mrs. Hendricks. The
conversation with the distinguished lady
was free and easy, and much sit would
make excellent reading. A pct of the
conversation l am able t., present.
There was much talk about .eCleve-
land, in which, by the way, Mr.. Hill had
little to say.
General Sickles remarked that Cleve-
land had been unfortunate in giving
offence to the old line Democrats and
taken up with new men. There was a
general laugh over the fact recalled by
one present that Mr.. Cleveland had
taken up with the civil service reform
ers little prematurely before he knew
| much about them. Governor Hill

tention to the picture of Mrs. Hendricks

there is vein On the side of the boy
head which bears remarkable likeness
to something in the picture of the Vice
President there 2"

and going to the Governors side seized
his hand and remarked: -"Governor,
hope you will get there" speaking, il
seems, OF the coming Presidential cam.

Governor Hill was otherwise very
complimentary. Incidentally the In
diana Reformatory for Women was re
ferred to, and the fact was mentioned
that Mrs. Hendricks was the head Of thi
institution, which has been the first il
the land to separate the youths and tn,
old male and female criminals.
"Madam, | hope," said the Governor
II shall go back to New York and tel
them thai Mrs Hendricks is at the heat
of such an institution"
Before the visitors left Mrs. Hendrick

Gov. Hendricks by the State officers il
