Why Hendricks Beat His Ticket

After all, Hendricks ran far enough ahead
of his ticket to beat even the >" back counties y
The reason for hi, success i not 80 much his
personal popularity as the identity establish
ed in the public estimation between his can
djdacv aud that of Greeley. The fact could
not be lodged that vote for Hendricks was
a vote for Greeley. and the result shows that
Greeleys strength was greater tlan that of
any other candidate in Indiana. There are
also symptoms of Grceley'S superior strength
in Ohio, In this county, for instance. it is
clear that about four hundred republicans
who would not vote ademocratlc tlckct.voted
for Wiley in consequence OF the suggestion
that the vote foL him >hauld be made and ac-
ceptcd as test of Grcclcy's strength CM-

The above statement shows that Hendricks
bold advocacy OF Greeley helped him, while
i'm Pennsylvania BuckaleW's position Of ig-
norng Greeley hurt him. Buckalrw was for
Greeley, but left that issue outside of the
contest a. much as possible. On the other
hand. IIrudrick, took bold, open ground for
Greeley, aud beat his Ticket. IL Gd&sHe.
At the same time. don't hesitate to explain
how the name Of Judge J, u. Walker was at
tached without authority. And while yoHr
hand /. in tell vs. how the name Of Capt. II.
i. Barry. editor of the Dardanelle Transcript,
was attached to the almost iatherlcss address.

Upon the first point We refer the Press to
Gran Wilcox aud the debates Of the June
convention. Upon the second. to the editor
vi the Dardanelle Transcript. Come, Barry,
out with it like a man.. Il. Gazette.
Our reply 10 the Gazette. in reference to the
above is, that TuSucr-s.t '' 20 O"t W1t

for the editors Of that papsr notwithstanding

took with our name when they deliberately
signed it to an addrcSr we had never seen.
never heard Of and had never dreamed of.
Had our name, rs principal or security TO Il
ten thousand dollar note or bond, been sub
scribed to, without our knowledge or consent
We would not have felt any more seriously
injured than We feel in having it forged TO an
address that holds uS up before the people OF
Arkansas, a liar and almost if not quite a
psjured man. We 90 not know who is the
guilty one-we know not who Forged our
name to that address, but we assure the gen
tiemau, whoever he IS that it is well he dld
not live in our native state, South Carolina
as she used to be in the days of freedom. for
il he had, hs would dangle at Il ropes end for
so grave crime against the law. We do not
wish to be driven to the wall in this matter.
We would prefer to let the whole matter rest
at what il /. at. it were better for the Ca
zette, that bat little be said about it, though
the Gazette is welcome to all it knows OF MS.
Suffice it for us to say, that Col. Bell, OF Pine
Blum. Col. NitherspoOn. Gordon \. Peay and
Col Farr, all know that the editor Of the
Transcript was decidedly opposed to any new
ticket Immediately before the interview with
the Gazette men. and Col. Nhipplc, If ncces-
Sarv, could certify that we put him in posses
sion of many of the facts connected with our
interview, Immediately attcrWard. The ia
Zettc will see at once, after this disclosure
which seems to be requisite 10 our defence
that it would do it no good for us to "out
with much more of it, and so the least
said about it, the better for the Gazette. We
would add ia this connection, that We would
hardly be 50 Indifferent to our own honor as
to 90 back upon Joe Brooks, when we take
to ourseli the credit Of being the first 10 hoist
hi, name for Governor to the mast head OF
the Transcript This we did, just about one
wear ago. and kept his name there, adNocat-
inc the very line of policy adopted by our
convention in June. SO the Gazette must
excuse us, Il We were little Jealous OF our
honor. and used a little statcgy to find out the
plans Of what we regarded sort OF enemy IN
the camps af the retormers 80 that prcpara-
ton might be made to defeat them 10y antiri-
pating them. But We have said enough, per-
haps too much - DdrdaReiie Transcript.
Capt. Barry has out with it, "and leaves
the Editors of the gazette IN most miserable
plight. These gentleman seem to treat the
use OF the name Of Capt. Barry and Others TO
the bogus democratic address as no more than
a rood Joke on them. We are afraid that they
have been so long in the company of the
State House Ring they have become thor
oughly demoralized.
