New York and New Jersey Executives had ar

The spirit and enthusiasm OF tho Indiana

those who were at first disposed to complain.

Hendricks presented him. and talked great
deal about the dead statesman. to whose NOM
orr he had travelled go far to do honor.
Gov Hill. outside OF the visit to Mrs. Hen
dricks took the most pleasure in his trip from
the fact that ex-senator Mcdonald "Old
eaddlebaRs." with his friends and followers,
and ex-Gov. Gray and the men OF his camp,
were equally cordial. equally hearty. and
equally earnest In welcoming him. These two
camps are alike In their Democracy and alike
in their devotion to the memory Of Mr.. Hen
bricks but they are none the less two camps,
and the visiting Governor was therefore moro
than pleased to find them united In their at
tentions to and interest in him. he was also
pleased that this interest was shared by ex
Senator McFadden. State. Chairman Jewett,
and other prominent men. as we'll as the hosts

crowd called for him. But when Chair

You must speak to them Governor" he
responded unhesltatinGiy. No one would have
hesitated then unless for one reason and that
the all fficient one OF not having any thing TO
say. Gov. Hill did have something to say. and
frankly admitted at the outset that he had
prepared 80 as to be ready il he should be
called on: and what he had prepared was
feeling and impressive tribute to the dead such
as only sincere admirer OF the man and close
student Of his career could have written.
Gov. Hills other speech, delivered in the
swelterinR hall OF the Hendricks Club that
night, was also source OF satisfaction to him.
A severe criticism Is made against 1t by the
Republicans and Mugwumps but that does
not bother the Governor. Their criticism OF
the speech is that 1t was written In Albany.
Even Gov. HIPS warmest admirers are willing
to admit that speech like that does not write
itself. An arraiGnment OF the Admlnistra-
ton, a mastertul presentation Of points.

that the issue for lS92 has been formed by the

the expense of some thought So the Governor
cannot deny that he wrote the speech In AL

write 1t. But the further criticism that the
speech was sent on to New York In advance to
