Speech of the Democratic Viu PrcMden tial Nominee. Sabatoqa, July 30. -A part of the committee appointed by the recent Democratic national convention for the purpose of notifying candidates of their nominal ion arrived last night. Hendricks is at the Grand hotel. The committe held a private consul tation at 1120, to take action on the matter. A committee consisting of Yilas of "Wisconsin, Waller of Con necticut, Hocker of Mississippi and Stockton of New Jersey, was appoint ed to confer with Hendricks and as certain the most feasible hourio make the final notification. The com mittee returned and stated that HeS:- dricks would be ready at 2 o'clock. and the ceremonies would take place in the large parlor at that time. "Waler of Connecticut introduced a resolution extending thanks to "W. F. Vilas, chairman, and Chas. M. Bell, secretary of the committee, for the dignified and intelligent manner in whioh they had performed their du ties. IiOiig before the hour for the cere mony to take place the parlor of the ho tel was filled with handsomely dressed ladies and gentlemen, seated in a cir cle around the space reserved for the committee. At 2:10 amid- loud ap plause from the guests, the commiti tee marched in and stood in a circle, and immediately afterward Mr. Hen dricks followed and toojc a position in the center. Upon liig -arrival Chair man Vilas delivered a long eloquent address, officially notifying Governor Hendricks of his nomination for the vice presidency by the Democratic national conventien: recounting the interesting circumstances of that nomination, and dwelling particular ly on the enthusiasm and unanimity manifested in the convention halL CoL Vilas-closed with the declaration that it was the especial desire of the Democracy to see Governor Hen , dricks invested with the dignity, bs causethey know that once he was given the title to it by the people, and -wrongfully denied its possession. HENDRICKS' BESrOXSE. Mr. Bell, secretary of the commit tee, then read a communication which had been prepared and personally signed by the committee. The docu ment was a formal notification to Governor Hendricks that the nationa1 Democratic convention had nominat ed him its candidate for the office of vice president of the United States. Mr. Hendricks replied as follews: Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of the conventien: I cannot realize that a man could ever stand in the pres ence of a committee representing a more august body of men than that which you represent In the lan guage of another the convention was large in numbers, august in culture and patriotic in sentiments, and I may add to that that because of the power, and the greatness, and the virtue of the party which it repre sented, it was of itself, in every re spect, a very great convention. The delegates came from all the states and territories, and I believe too from the district of Columbia. They came clothed with authority to express judgment and opinions which are not settled by constitutional law; for the purpose of passing upon these ques tions, and selecting a ticket for the people that convention assembled. They decided upon the principles they would adopt as a platform; they elected the candidates that they would propose to the party for their sup port, and that convention's work was theirs. I have not reached the peri od when it is proper for me to con sider the strength and force of the statements made in the platform; it is enough for me to know that it comes, at your hands, from that convention, addressed to my patriotic devotion, to the Democratic party. I appreciate the honor that is done me; I need not question but at the same time I accept the honor from you and from the convention. I feel that the duties and responsibilities of the office rest upon me alone. I know that sometimes it is understood that the particular office of vice pres ident does not involve much respon sibility, and as a general thing that is so; but sometimes it comes to rep resent very great responsibilities, and it may be so in the near future, for at this time the senate of the United States stands almost equally divided between the great parties. "When the parties shall so exactly differ that the vice president of the United States shall have to decide upon questions of interest to all by the exercise of the deciding vote the responsibility would then become very great; it would not then be the responsibility of representing a state or a district, it would be the responsibility of rep resenting the whole country, and the obligation would be to the judgment of the whole country; and that vote, when thus ca3t,would be in obedience to the just expectations and require ments of the people of the United States. It might be, Gentlemen, that upon another occasion great respon sibility would attach to this office; it might occur liat under circumstances of some difficulty I don't think it will be at tin next election, but it may occur the president of senate will have to take his part in the counting of the electoral vote; and allow me to say that that duty is not to be observed in obedience" to any set of men or party, but in obedience to a higher authority. Gentlemen, you have referred to the fact that I am honored by this nomination in a very special degree. I accept the suggestion that in this candidacy I will represent the rights of the people to choose their own rulers. That right is above all; that right lies beneath all, for if the peo ple are denied the right to choose their own officers, according to their own judgment, what shall become of the rights of the people, and what shall become of free government? If the people select not their officers, how shall they control the laws, their administration and their execution? So that in the suggestion that in this candidacy I represent that right of the people, as you have suggested, a great honor has devolved upon me, by the confidence of the convention at Chicago. As soon as it may be convenient and possible to do so, I shall address you more formally in respect to the letter you have given me. I thank yon, gentlemen." At the close of Mr. Hendricks' re marks hearty applause was given, and he was introduced to each member of the committee and a general hand shaking followed, after which the people paid their respects to Mr. Hendricks, and theiuquietly dispersed. CAPETOWN DIAMONDS. The Supply Practically IncxliatwtiWf-ss Found ia an Extinct Volcano. '. ." .T. C. Silberbaurer of Cane Town in M'-i-.i i r Il. '.'mos . iJeraCsaid: "When people tell you that'Uxe supply of diamonds down our way is exhausted you just take them to one side and whisper in then ears the solemn fact that they don't know as much about our business as they did lastsummer. Sahe? Our diamond fields cere situated in the middle of what is known as the Great Desert Now, I am going to tell you somethiug that will surprise you. The leadiug diamond mine and the one that furnishes "jnqst of the diamond wealth is nothing.inore nor less than what do you suppose? the crater of an extinct volcano. This mine since 1870 has given to the world at least 8100,000,000 worth of diamonds, and is still yielding S15, 000,000 worth yearly. Now I will tell you something about the plan of work in this volcanic diamond mine. The interior of the extinct volcano is filled with a sort of ashen substance which is of the hardness of rock. Within this the diamonds are imbed ded. Thousands of crystals exactly similar to diamonds, are also imbed ded in the same snug quarters. The mine is divided into hundreds of claims and the crater has now been emptied to a depth of 300 feet. Ex perts have bored down to almost end less depths, however, and report the supply as practically inexhaustible. As soon as this ashen substance is loosened, hauled to the surface of the earth and exposed to the influ ence of air or water, it dissolves and crumbles like sand and the crystal and precious stones lie in the grasp of the speculator. To you, the crys tals would appear of equal value with the diamonds, but an expert knows a great deal better than that. He places stone after stone between his lips and the precious treasure is easi ly selected and carefully looked af ter. The secret of the matter is not much of a secret when you know that a diamond in its crude state is velvety to the touch, while a crystal is hard and unyielding. The mouth of the diamond volcano is surround ed with mining machinery, mostly of American manufacture. The work men employed in the mines are en tirely naked and their movements are watched with a jealous eye. The laws have been made exceptionally severe for the punishment of thiev ing miners the penalty in most in stances being long years of service in the penal colonies but this does not deter the poor devils from taking their chances for winning an im mense fortune with a single stone. Their hair is clipped to the scalp, thev are not allowed to wear' beards of any sort, they are entirely naked, are examined critically upon leaving the mine, and yet they steal millions. How? I will tell you. They swal low the 'shiners.' You should see them gulp a stone down in the face of the guards. Alter recovering their plunder the thieves dispose of the stones to crafty speculators who hang about the place like carrion crows. These receivers also run a great risk from stringent laws, but the great profit justifies the peril. They generally buy a S10.000 stone for about $500. There are also sev eral mines in the desert besides the crater mines, but they are small and comparatively unimportant Our diamonds all go to England in the rough, but the United States buys more pure diamonds of the first wa ter to-day than any other country upon earth. That's news for you, my boys news. The Indies and Turkey are great markets for off-color stones, the nabobs setting them in swrd and dagger hilts. Our gold fields north of the Transvaal are also assuming proportions of real commercial im portance. Bradford, Pa., July 30. The Brad ford glass works, which shut down recently on account of a strike, re sumed to-day with non-union men. This afternoon the strikers sur rounded the factory while the new foreman and Superintendent McCart ney were inside and began throwing stones. McCartney escaped, but the foreihan was captured and his eyes gouged, out to prevent him doing any more work. There is great excite ment to-night, and it is feared the strikers will burn the factory and other buildings of the company. Victoria, July 30. Four divers to be employed on the Umatilla, ar rived yesterday. They were only sixteen days from Liverpool, via the Northern Pacific railroad. Had they not staid two days in New York and eight hours in St Paul, they would have made the trip in thirteen days and two hours. London, July 30.
