President Hendrick’s death J ——»- — •*- -
Commenting on this sad event
an estecmed contemporary says:
i|fe was 66 years of age the
7th of last September. For near
ly twenty-five years he had held
offices of importance, and if he
had been elected every time he
was it candidate, be would have
spent very little of bis life as a
private citizen. - lie was a mem
ber of the Legislature of his
Stale, and a member of one ol
its constitutional conventions.
He was a candidate for Govern
or three times aud was elected
once. He was a United States
Senator one term, and was twice
elected Vice-President, but was
defrauded of his rights the first
time. In 1868 lie was support
ed strongly for tho nomination
of his party for the Presidency,
and at each subsequent nation
al convention ho had a strong
following for that nomination.
Since his inauguration as Vice-
President his name has been
frequently mentioned in connec
tion with the Presidency, and it
is probable that if he had lived
he would have been a prom!
nent candidate for the nomina
tion in 1868. He was popular
with his party, particularly that
faction of it which does not be
lieve in giving the civil service
law a wider application than the
framers of it iutcudcd that it
should have.
Mr. Hendricks’ conduct dur
ing the period when the whole
country was excited over tho
great fraud of 1876 was admira
ble. Although lie had much at
stake lie did not for a moment
forget that Mr. Tildeu was lead
er of the party. He did nothing
that indicated a lack of confi
dence in Mr. Tildcn’s judgment
and patriotism. He trusted to
time to repair tho wrong which
ha suffered, and he did not trust
in vain. While he did not live
long to enjoy tho honor which
ought to have been his eight
years before, I10 lived long
enough to have the satisfaction
of oeeupyiug tho place of wlneli
ho lmd been deprived by fraud,
and of exercising his authority
over soiuo of those who helped
to perpetrate the fraud.
, Mr. Hendricks’ death will he
deeply and generally mourned,
lie was a good man and :• states
man. He mao havo been am
bitious, but his ambition was' an
honorable ono. The good of his
country was-his first considera
tion. Ilis public life was mark
ed by high and pure patriotism.
He aimed at truth and right,
and his methods of accomplish
ing his purposes were those of
an honest and honorable man,
A Bcpublican will be chosen,
doubtless, to preside over tho
Senate. The Republicans have
a majority of eight, and will
make Senator Edmunds, prob
ably tho Senate's presiding offi
cer. Only one life stands be
tween tho Presidency mid the
Republicans, but there is a sat
isfaction in the thought that it
is a life that will likely last un
til the people arc heard from
again.

It is being urged on the Presi
dent not to expose himself in any
.vav by attending the funeral of
the Vice President Hendricks, Mr.
Cleveland owes it to the country
more than to his party to take this
advice. It is true that if lie were
killed, the Republicans would lie
temporarily restored power, and
that fact would be a great tempta
tion to the party that produced a
Uuitcau to use foul play. Still
any such act would recoil'on the
party, and would kill Radicalism
beyond hope of revival. To the
Federal Government though,
which whonld be left without any
official head, the affect would lie
-ieplorable.--Savannah Times.

which time a regular correspon

both grew tired> of waiting. He
wrote that it was impossible for
him to come, and urg^dher to go
to him, he providing qje means.
To this she consented and, or

They have already marketed sev
enty-five bales of cotton, averaging
527 pounds to the bale, with several
more to gin and pack. Besides
this splendid result from the cot
ton crop, they have made 300
bushels of corn, with an abundance
of peas and oats. This is ivhat wc

stimulate others to renewed exer
