HIS BROKEN PROMISES, How the Quarrel Between Cleveland and Hendricks Originated. The President Failed to Carry Out Agreements Made When He Was but a Candidate. “But can Thomas afford to accept?” Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks asked me when I read a telegram to her announcing the nomination of Mr. Hendricks for Vice- President on the ticket with Grover Cleve- land. Indiana Democracy had been wild with excitement for months in anticipa- tion of the nomination of Hendricks for President. Cleveland and others had been mentioned, but the Democrats of the Hoosier State knew but one man in all America who was fit, worthy and entitled to be the National party’s standard-bearer, and when the secona place was given to their favorite, in the bitterness of their disappointment they asked as did Mrs. Hendricks, “Can Thomas afford to ac- cept?” This was in 1884 when Grover Cleveland gave the old leaders an exhibition for the first time of his consummate skill asa political mixer and manipulator. That he was adroit on that occasion there is no doubt whatever, but then he has been adroit enough on every oc- casion since that capture of the party to do about as he liked and I have watched with considerable interest his methods. Cleveland is not the stubborn and self-willed politician that some sup- pose him to be, but he is all thatanda good deal more when wearing the robes of office. The immense majority, nearly 200,000, he received when elected Governor of New York was misunderstood by him. Instead of understanding it as a rebuke to the Republican ring be looked upon it as an expression of the confidence of the people in himself, such as no other man ever received, and it so turned his head that he soon came to the conclusion that Providence had sent him into the world to rule mankind and that mankind could not get on without him, but that did not hinder him from studying the ins and outs of practical politics, nor to overlook the sleek methods of Tammany. But this is_a digression, although it serves to lead up to_revelations of the man’s true character. Mr. Hendricks, who was himself a thorough. but an honest, politician, made an analysis of Cleveland’s methods to capture the nomination for President, which convinced him that for his own good he had better have an under- standing with the head of the ticket be- fore accepting second place. Pressure was at once brought to bear upon Mr. Hen- dricks to accept, for, it was urged, he would have to pnfl the ticket through, if But the wily old Indianian said to them all, “Give me time Upon his return from the Chicago convention I called at his residence at Indianapolis, and when I asked when we might expect his letter of acceptance, ‘I will tellyou,’’ he said, “'but, as they say, ‘not for publication.” I do not know that I shall accept at ali; any- ay, not until I have had a clear, positive certain understanding with Mr. Cleve- land.” “That is an unusual procedure, is it not,” I said. “Perhaps so,” Mr. Hendricks replied, “but L have never met Governor Cleveland. Some of the’ New York delegates to the convention know him quite well, however, and after listening to recitals of their ex- periences with him I concluded the wiser course for me would be to have a confer- ence with him before agreeing to run for Vice-President.” A *Of course,” Isaid, “if you have a con- ference there would be no danger of a con- fiict of opinion and policy between your letters of acceptance.” “I am not thinking of that at all,” he re- plied, “‘but I shall not accept the nomina- tion until Governor Cleveland gives me satisfying assurances that, if elected, the Vice-President will not be a mere fifth wheel to a wagon. The office of Vice- President must be elevated to where its incumbent will not only be the principal official confidant and adviser of the Presi- dent, but he must be substantially on a parity with the President in the matter of patronage, and also there must be less dis- tinction than heretofore in a social way genween the President and Vice-Presi- ent.”” Being enjoined to secrecy, of course 1 did not ‘“‘give it away’’ 1o the newspaper I represented, but I awaited with interest Mr. Hendricks’ return from his conference with Cleveland. Meanwhile the pressure that was being brought to bear upon Mr. Hendricks to promptly accept was becom- ing almost too gr-at for a human being to bear. The ‘‘boys” wanted to go to work, but until Hendricks accepted there could be nothing to enthuse about. When it suited his convenience Mr. NEW TO-DAY. LOSE MILLIONS. Tobacco Manufacturers Out $10,000,000 in ’95. Prospeet of Sti]lmger Loss in *96. Great Anxiety in Tobaceo Circles. CHICAGO, TLL., May 8.—1t was reported here to-day that a large sum of money had been oi- fered for the tobacco habit cure No-To-Bac, {amous all over the country for its wonderful cures. This offer, it is said, was made by par- ties who desire to take it off the market and 8top the sale, because of its injury to the to- l&nc%o léulinefim ’Generm Man.ge;uxramer of 0-To-Bac, when interviewed at office, 45 Randolph street, said: 0, sir. No-To-Bac is not for sale to the to- bacco trust. Certainly No-Te-Bac affects the tobacco business. It will cure over 200,000 people in 1896, at an average saving of $50 which each would otherwise expend for to- bacco, amounting in round figures to $10,000,- 000, Of course, tobacco dealers’ loss is gained by the cured. Does No-To-Bac benefit physi- cally? Yes, sir. The majority of our patients Teport an immediate gain of flesh, and their nicotine saturated systems are_cleansed and made vigorous. No-To-Bac is sold by druggists throughout the United States and Canad: under absolute guarantee that three boxes wi cure any case. Failure to cure means the money back, Of course, there are failures, but | they are few and we can_better afford to have Baty e el i S i publish a little called ‘Don’t Tobacco Spitand Smoke Your Life Away,’ that summer.

It was not long after the inauguration of Cleveland and Hendricks before hints be- gan to fall here ana there that the rela- tions between lhedisfingnhhed gentlemen were very much strained. To me this was no surprise, for I knew certain of Hen- dricks’ friends did not zet the positions that were promised them, and not one of them blamed the Vice-President. I never believed for a moment that Cleveland in- tended to keep faith with Hendricks, and so when I next met Mr. Hendricks, which was in the following autumn, I made haste to find out how matters stood between himselfand the President. ‘It would dono good and might do much harm to publicly air our differences,’’ Mr. Hendricks said, “put I will say for your own information, but not for the public just now, anyway, that Mr. Cleveland bas repudiaied every promise he made at cur interview when I agreed to accept the nomination for Vice- President. 1am grieved at this revelation of his character, most, however, because he is sure to wreck the party sooner or later.” e “Do you mean,” I asked, “that Mr. Cleveland is already planning for a second term?” “Yes, and not only for a second buta thira and as many more as he can get. Moreover I am_satisfied that he was pre- aring’to get the machinery of the party in hand for that purpose at the very time he accepted my terms as the condition of my candidacy for Vice-President. My friends are_beginning to understand that it is no fault of mine when they are turned down. But if my name helped in any way to win the victory of November last surely I am glad that I accepted the nomination, for the party’s good is the first considera- tion always, but for many other reasons I regret very much that I uid not promptly refuse to accept before leaving Chicago. I think Mr. Cleveland’s acts and interpre- tation of Democratic principles will do great harm to the party.” 1 had a suspicion at the time, and not without good reason, that the agreement between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hendricks included a promise from the former that the machinery of the party should be run in the interest of the latter’s candidacy for the nomination for President by the next convention, and the vehement man- ner of Mr. Hendricks when he told me of Cleveland’s ambition in that direction re- moved all doubt from my mind. I felt contident that Mr. Hendricks agreed to run for Vice-President and carry Indiana for the ticket under a promise that he should head the procession four years later. And I may add that, in my opin- ion, it was his betrayal more than any- thing else that sent Mr. Hendricks to an untimely grave. He was the soul of honor, and to be betrayed by a friend was too much for his great and good heart. The cold-bloodedness of President Cleve- land’s plan to break with the Vice- President wounded Mr. Hendricks deeply, for it was the dragging in of social and ersonal matters in a way that was calcu- thcd toestablish intensely hostile relations between Mr. Hendricks and several of the leaders of the party in Indiana. Ex-United States Senator McDonald and Mr. Hen- dricks were good enough friends to work together for the party’s good, but there was a bitter feud between Mrs. Hendricks’ ‘“set” and Mrs. McDonald’s ‘“set,” and under no circumstances could they have met upon common ground in Washing- ton’s social life. All this was told to Cleve- land by a mischief-making friend, who knew that it was just the wedge the Presi- dent was looking for. Mr. Cleveland had his strikers give it out that he was ex- ceedingly anxious to give McDonald a high position of some kind in the administra- tion, so that it could have the benefit of hig own great ability asa juristand statesman, as well as the social influence of his family. Now, Cleyeland never intended to give MecDonald anything, but hig seheme worked so well that Indiana’s social and political worlds were thrown into_the wildest commotion. Naturally Mr. Hendricks stood by his wife and her tset,”” as did Mr. McDonald by his wife and her “set.” Then the personal friends and political following of Hendricks and McDonald_took sides, and right then and there Mr. Hendricks’ hopes for the nomi- nation of his party for President in 1883 were blasted, his power to control patron- age broken, Mr. McDonald was dropped for good and all, and Cleveland was supreme in the command of the Demo- cratic party. % The domestic life of “Thomas and Eliza,” as the intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs. Heundricks were wont to call them, was an 1deal one. There was nothing in their going and coming that had any rel.. tion whatever to aristocracy, yet two more polished people could not have been found in America. They were very happy in their own companionship, but they were exceedingly fond of the society or their friends. This will, in some measure, g a glimpse of their home life when alo I called early one morning to v good-by before leaving Indianapsiis and found Mr. Hendricks in h shirtsleeves and ‘‘tied’ in white apron helping his wife *‘to clear o the breakfast table.” ‘‘To what base uses may nol a Vice-President of the United States at last come, madam ?” I jokingiy remarked. ‘“Our girl,” said Mrs. Hep. dricks, as taken iil last night, and Thomas is helping me with the kitchen work, as you see.”” ‘I rather like it, sides it gives me more time to be with Eliza tnese busy political times,” obserye] Mr. Hendricks. On leaving their house I met a lady, an old friend of the Hendricks family, I related to her what I had just seen and heard. ‘‘Yes,” she sald, “Thomas and Eliza will always be lovers, and were . crowned King and she Queen of Ame the simplicity of their home life wounld countinue.” ARMOND. UPWARD TENDENCIES, The Prices of Wine and Grapes Climb- ing Higher Very Rap- idly. ‘Wine experts say the outlook this year, so far as prices are concerned, is more promising than it has been for a decade. In speaking on the subject, John ‘Wheeler, manager of the California Wine- makers’ Corporation, said that the trend of prices this year will carry them away above expectations, *You see,”” he said, “the figures are these: The output last year was 9,000,000 gallons; this year it will be 4,500,000. The annual exports for the last few years have been 16,000,000 gailons, and the home con- sumption has been 6,000,000 gallons. This gives a total of 22,000,000, but as this rep- resents 4,000,000 gallons of sweet wines it leaves the market demand for dry wines at 10,000,000 gallons. Last year the wine- men were already drawing upon their ac- cumulated stock, and all they have now to fupply the demand is about 5,000,000 gal- ons. ‘“‘Grapes have taken a correspondingly high range. At Glen Ellen and Sonoma they are offering $30 a ton. In Napa Val- ley they are offering $25 and $30 a ton, but there is not much of a crop there. In other places grapes are proportionately high.” fiir. ‘Wheeler thinks the price of wine is going over 25 cents ngnllon within a short time. Offersof 20 and 21 cents are already being made.
