man John X. Hendrick, of Kentucky,
In an interview Mr.. Hendrick with
holds his Endorsement of Secretary
Carlisle's recent bond call, as follows:
81 have tried to. stand by this Adj
administration, honestly and patriotic
ally, because / have realized that the
head of the Government should be
the head of the political party which
elected him and have hoped that by
standing to our leaders we would be
able to avert threatened division and
adisintegration, but it seems that the
Administration has determined to ex-
communicate its friends and cruelty
the party. l am not one OF those
who believes that public debt is a
public blessing; on the contrary L
think it the greatest curse that can
befall a republic. If this Govern
ment must be turned over to the
bondholders, then it ought to change
its form and surrender its liberty. Ii
an irrepressible conflict must come
between the bondholders and the
people, want it understood that l
am on the side of the people, and L
will never give my sanction to pol
icy that runs with indecent haste to
burden them with a heavy debt
"Mr. Cleveland says that free silver
will destroy the credit of the Govern
ment. There is one thing certain
free silver, free whisky and all other
frees combined will not destroy the
credit of the Government any quicker
or more effectually than the limitless
issues of the bonds"
