Governor Hendricks denies that he felt
any personal modification at his defeat for
the first place on the ticket, and says he
shall give Governor Tilden his fullest SUP
port. In conversation with reporter Of
the indianapolis Sentinel before he was
nominated for Vice-President he said: e.
think Mr.. Tilden has been nominated under
two infiuences-first, his position in New
York as prominent representative or the
wishes OF the people for thorough reform
in governmental matters, and the widely
spread opinion that there is a strong neces-
sity for reform; secondly, Governor Tilden
is a most capable organizer, and his friends
have been, both before and at the Convcn-
ton, very efficient and successful III their
support OF his nomination. Taking it as
whole, the platform is well-eXpresscd and
compact statement OF sound views. The
nomination and platform will make the fight
one OF honest reform more marked than
was thought. Although Governor Hayes is
most esteemed gentleman, and is sup
ported most cordially by his admirers and
friends, yet he is the representative OF the
Administration in the imminent struggle,
and will have much to contend with against
the platform and nominee OF the party
representing reform"

have become historical, and the only hui
initiation we have at the end OF the first

Government, grown as ii has in population,
spread Us it has in territory, in the hands
and in the possession OF the spoiler. 1t is
our duty to wrcst it from the hands OF the
spoilers; it is our duty to snatch it from
them and place it in the hands OF the true,
tried, and honest, who will bring the re-
form we hear of in New York to Washing
ton city, and spread its benign influences
over all this land, and then commencing
the new century OF our existence we may
see the country put upon new track OF
honesty and constitutional administration
that will give it lease Of life for ages yet
to come, and rs it rolls in power, as it in
creases in wealth aud popularity, us it in
creases in territory, let its honest admins
tration send forth voice to the nations OF
the earth. Let the sons OF liberty keep on
in their struggle for free government, and
then let us make this country OF ours the
lighthouse OF liberty to the world. [Crics
OF "Timc, timc."] And, sir, may this great
Union last until the last syllable OF recorded
time" [ChecrS.]
