THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
A Man of Even Abilities Who Sus-
tanned Himself Favorably.


The late vice-president was an unex-
ceptionable example OF the trite politi-
cal figure known as ''favorite son''-
phrase which has stronger meaning
in the west than in the east.
In the former public men are
more in social touch with the
masses, and especially with the
better elements of the people than
they are in the latter The interest in
politics and public affairs is more gen
eral. Mr.. Hendricks possessed traits
that rendered him personally popular
aside from his official record. He had
his ambitions, but cherished. no ami
mosties ii they were baked. Conrad
Baker, a Republican, who defeated
him for the governorshlp in 1868,
subsequently became his law partner.
His acceptance of the second place on
the Democratic national ticket of 1884
was attended by deep disappointment
that he did not secure the first place,
and not without an unfounded feeling
that he was entitled to it. At least three
times he came almost within reaching
distance of the nomination for the presi-
dency. In 1868 he stood second on the
ballot and only three votes behind the
leader. In 1876 he again came near the
goal; but Tilden won and he took the
vice presidential candidacy. If the
highest honor in the gift of the nation
was to fall to an Indiana Democrat. no
one but Hendricks, for the last twenty
five years of his life, was seriously
thought of as the recipient.
Though born in Ohio, his Hoosierism
was not to be impugned. He went to
Indiana in 1920, when but six months
old, grew up there, and graduated at
South Hanover college in 1S41. In 1843
he began the practice OF law at Shelby
vile, and in 1845 was sent to the legisla-
ture. He was elected to congress in
1850 and 1852, and in 1851 he
was member of the constitu-
tional convention. During Pierce's
administration he was commissioner
of the public land office. In 1860 he
was defeated for governor by Henry S.
Lane. From 1868 to 1869 he was United
| States senator, and was governor from
1872 to 1876. His uncle, William Hen
bricks, represented Indiana IN the
United States senate from 1925 to 1887.
The name Hendricks came to be re-
garded as almost an institution in the
state. .ua9
There was no single act or event of
overshadowing Importance in the life of
Mr.. Hendricks that raised him to the
marked distinction he enjoyed. He was
a man of even abilities, clear thinker,
a finished speaker, conservative in tenn
perament, suave in manner and an emf
nently prudent leader. His civic
virtues were of high order,
and it is to his credit that
he died in moderate financial cir
cumstances. He was to the Democracy
of his state in his day and generation
what his distinguished contemporary
Oliver p Morton, was to the Republi-
cans; and the fact that his old political
opponents as we'll as his friends will
assemble to do honor to his memory at
the unveiling of his statue is an eloquent
tribute to him as man and citizen
