moro abuse than any other man in
the country, but he felt proud ,ot
one thing, that the meanest thing
they could say about him was that
he was republican, while he was
sorry to say that they had said
much more about him, but that 1T
was untrue and they knew it, but
they would do and say these
things 80 there was no chance to
get at them. And desired to state
that one of these mon that had
been the loudest mouthed IN his
abuse of him was now a applicant
for the postunicc here and that ho
had always been prominent in re-
publican councils, and that nc
never heard anything of N. M:
Morris being IL republican, until
lust before tho election Of Mr., Mo
Kinlny. when tho pie counter came
in view and that he was beng
pushed forward for this place by
somc of our present leaders, IN
order to humiliato him politically.
But that he was as confident as no
over had been that the entire mas
sos would give those men tho re-
buko they justly deserved when
the proper time come.
What Hendricks did say was
that he was Il candidate for the
postonicc at this place; that ne
! had been Il republican since 1868;
that he WAS republican from
1865 to 1888 before he cvor ro-
ceivcd anything; that he had Civ
on moro Of his means for the lar
ty than any man in it: that he
(had always paid the delegation >
expenses to the conventions; that
no one had helped any, except e..
II. Barton, who gave Miller twen-
ty-Gvc cents last year; that while
he worked for tho "Lily Whlto'
faction, last gear. it was all the
same: that he had to take heap
of abuse on tho account Of his pol
tics: that he was tcudcrcd the
shcril's office by committee Of
$50 mon or Il guarantee OF n0mi-
nation in the primary, if he would
cut loose from the republican par
ty; that he had always beon true
to the party; that ho thought no
would win in this fight.
