OF course you would, for, in that

you are an intelligent gentleman,

indirectly: in securing the success
of party which has persistently op-

standing in the way of those who

those independents who are advo-

the face of existing circumstances,

are the willing tools of democratic
tricksters, whom they allow to use

Gov. Hendricks is right. The
official corruption with which this

the fault of our civil service system;

The removal of no one man or set
of men can effect this reform, nor
will any change ofparty do it. The

to procure its change the public

The Acceptance Letters.


We have carefully read the let
tiers of Messrs. Tilden and Hen
bricks, accepting the democratic
nominations, and must admit that
they are able productions. Mr..
1llden's letter shows that he has not
only studied the issues involved in
the canvass, but that he has careful
ly perused Governor Hayes letter,
and as far as he gives any express
sion of opinion on subjects of vital
Importance he agrees with the lat
ter. For instance, he urges civil
service reform as necessary for the
perpetuation of our free institutions,
and arrives at the conclusion that
this can best be secured by making
the President ineligible for re-elect-
ion. He proposes that this shall be
done by the adoption of a constitu
tlonal amendment, and to this extent
his recommendation is, perhaps, an
improvement on Gov. Hayes, He
does not, however, pledge himself
to refuse denomination.
On the financial question Gov
ernor 1ilden'S letter is susceptible
'ot several constructions. He is in
tavor of the resumption of specie
payments, and thinks it will not be
a matter of such great difficulty to
DO this as is generally supposed, and
says, very t1uthfully, that it is the
uncertainty in which our finances
are now involved that has had and
IS still having such depressing and
rulnous influence on the business
interests of the country. He would
have a system which should passive
ly allow the volume of circulating
credits to ebb and flow according to
every changing want of business
and, if we understand his language,
agrees in this respect with the advo-
Gates of the "greenback" policy, for
that IS Just what they desire; but
they prefer that such circulating
credits" should be government
notes and bonds, rather than the
notes of private banks or individ-
uals; while the only fair conclusion
to be drawn from his language is
that he would have such "circulat-
ing credits" rest upon private re-
sponsibility.
Mr.. Hendricks is, also, in favor of
civil service reform; agrees substan-
TALLY with Mr.. Tilden on the curren-
cy question, and favors the repeal
Of the specie resumption clause in
the act of 1875. He also opposes
Chinese immigration; and denounces
any change of the common school
system which shall place them un-
der sectarlan or partizan control, or
divide the school fund for the benefit
OF any sect or class.
Both of these candidates devote a
considerable portion of their letters
to abuse Of the republican party,
and labor to make it appear res
ponslble for all the evils of misgov-
ernment which have occurred since
1860. Gov.' Hendricks, however.

The latest reports from the
Black Hills country indicate that the
Indians are separating into small
guerrilla parties, and intend carrying
on the war in that manner until they
can induce the command of Crooks
and Terry to divide into smaller
detachments for more facile and
rapid pursuits. In that event, they
will probably rapidly concentrate
their forces in sufficient numbers to
attack the detachments successfully.
They have burned the prairies and
nearly all the drift wood along the
Missouri river with view to destroy-
ing the forage for cavalry horses and
deprlvlng steamers of available fuel.
