GOVRRkOR BAKRR vs.. sRSAT0R
HENDRICKS.
cratic ISLANDERS Refulcdl

Previous to the Gubernatorial can
Vass in 1868, It was the boast of the
Democrats that should the Republic
cans nominate Conrad Baker as their
candidate for Governor, he would be
completely used up by his opponent.
Dir. Hendricks. A few joint discus
sions demonstrated to the Democracy
that "Old Honesty, as they sneering-
ly designated the Governor, was not
SO easily "chawed up" as they imagin-
ed. Indeed, he proved to be the tough
est and most indigestible food upon
which the ex-senator ever tried
his intellectual grinders. Realizing
from that campaign, that joint discuss
sions were not profitable, the ex-
Senator and would be Governor, has
been putting in his time slandering
the Governor, in different parts OF
the State. The other day the latter
ran down to New Albaby.. where Mr..
Hendricks had extensively retailed
his little, demagogueioal stories. and
replied to several of them in his own
peculiar way. We copy a few only
of his remarks to DIR. Hendricks

Mr.. Hendricks said I had cheated
him ont of being Governor-that /
had got certificate of election, but
that there were light fingers in the

corrupted, and that / was party to
that corruption, aud Jet without a
particle Of evidence. And yet he talks
about my eliminating other people I
He says he was disappointed in me. I
have no doubt of that; in my opinion

disappoint the kind of men that DIR.
