THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July I, 1876
GENTLEMEN: l have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your COM
munication i'm which you have formal
ly notified me of my nomination by
the nation:.. Democratic convention at
st. Louis, as their candidate for the
office of vice president of the United
States. 1t Is nomination which L
neither expected nor desired, and yet
| recognize and appreciate the high
honor done me by the convention.
The choice of such body and pro-
nounced with such unusal unamity,
and accompanied with so generous an
expression of esteem and confidence,
ought to outweigh all merely personal
desires and preferences of my own. 1t
is with this feeling, and trust also,
from a deep sense of public duty, that
now accept the nomination. and shall
abide the judgement of my count, y
men. II would have been impossible
for me to accept the nomination if 1
could not heartily indorse the plat
form of the convention. / am graft

tied, Therefore, to he able unequivOcal-
ly to declare thatfagree IN the prnc-
pies, approve the policies, and sympa-
thlze with the purposes enunciated in
that platform. The institutions of our
country have been sorely tried by the
exigencies OF civil war, and
SINCE THIEF PEACE,
10y selfish and corrupt management
of public affairs, which has shamed
us before civilized mankind by unwisc
and partial legislation. Every indus
try and interest of the people has
been made to suffer. and dishonesty,
and rapacity, and venality have de-
bauched the public service. Men
known to be unworthy have been
promoted whilst Others have been de-
graded for fidelity to official duty
Public office has been made the means
# private profit, and the country has
been offended TO STE Il class of men
who boast the friendship OF the sworn
protectors of the state, amassing for
tunes by defraud;ng the public treas
ury, and by corrupting the servants of
the people. In such crisis in the his
tory of the country, rejoice that the
convention ut st. Louis has so nobly
raised tic standard of reform. Moth
ing can be well with us or with our af-
fairs un'il the public conscience,
shocked hy the enormous evils and
abuses which prevail, shall Rave de-

In such Il reformation. the removal #

comparatively IA trifling matter. if

and which has fnstered him as he fos-

president alone must not be made
the scape-goat for the enormitirs of
the system which infects the public
service and threatens the destruction
Of our institutions. In some respects.

Leen The victim rather than the au-
hur of that vicious system. Congress
.iOnal and party leaders have been
stronger than the president. No man
could have created it and the removal
of no one man can amend it. 1t is
thoroughly corrupt and must be swept
remorselessly away by the selection
of government composed of elements
entirely new and pledged to radical
reform. The iirsts work of reform
must evidently be the restoration of
the normal operation of the constitu-
tinn of the United States with all its
amendments. Tie necessities of war
cannot be pleaded in time of peace.

Speaking of the new Democratic can
didates for Supreme Judges the South
Bend Herald says: I'VE place the
names at the head of our columns to
fill the vacancies. The Democratic
party may now go into the canvass with
clean hands," Yes, but Murray con-
tinually rolls the word ''salary-grab'
under his pen as sweet morsel. and
an objectionable offense as applied to
Republicans And we want to know
now about those ''clean hands" since
they have selected Judge Niblack as
one of their candidates; and though a
salary grabber,' the Herald promptly
endorses him. And of such is Demo
cratic consistency, and honesty, and

Orth's Withdrawal.

We have no hesitation in saying
that we regret exceedingly the with
drawal of Hon. Godlove ). Orth, our
late candidate for governor of the
State. His case is another illustration
of the criminal injustice frequently
done to men who nave spent many
years usefnlly and honorably in the pub
lie service. Such bald injustice must
stand to the disgrace of the people, the
injuring of the nation, and the degre-
dation of the public morals.
The motive which has led Judge
Orth to this determination is a noble
and praiseworthy one. He assigns it
in his letter of declination, that he is
of the opinion he cannot receive the
united support of the Republican par
ty," and preferring its success to his
own advancement, he tenders his decli-
nation. We think he has been led in
to an exaggerated idea of the disaffec-
tion and that people would have come
to the conclusion that he has been
grossly maligned. OF course the trou-
BILE has grown out Of the Venezuelan
matter, in which, as we showed last
week, Judge Orth did nothing that any
honorable man might not consistently
do. The case is one of great personal
hardship. 1t will be remembered that
He was holding highly honorable and
desirable position abroad, representing
this country at the court of Vienna, as
minister to Austria. In the nature of
the case, he must have preferred to re-
main there; but when the Republican
State Convention in February tender
ed him the nomination he regarded it
as command, and like a faithful sol
dier he prepared to obey. Resigning
one of the finest positions i'm Europe,
he came home to enter on an arduous
canvass for the governorship. Then
the vials of Democratic wrath were
opened, and the winds of slander
swept iiercely around him. The effect
has been. we suppose, to poison the
minds of some Republicans. But we
envy neither the head nor the heart of
the Republican, who could thus strike
a distinguished Republican statesman,
and honored citizen of Indiana, and a
true and honest man.
We have never believed, and have
frankly stated that we did not believe,
that Gov. Hendricks was guiltily COM
promised in the Gatling gun affair, or
the water works bond matter: but we
add now that there is not ground for
tithe of the suspicion of corruption
in Orth's case as that i'm Hendricks.
And as for Tilden, there are score of
cases, proven by Democratic authority
of his corrupt raids on railroads; and
of his implication. beyond all manner of
doubt, in the Tweed election frauds in
New York, yet he is set on high as
''reformer," to be voted for by the very
men, who exposed his dark ways and
crooked tricks, while Orth, because of
groundless suspicious arising from
Democratic slanderers, must stand
down from the head of the Republican
State ticket. 1t is "A cruel outrage that
such gross injustice can be done.
Marshall County Republican., 1876-08-10

Why railroad lawyer, more than an
other kind of lawyer, should be par
ticularly preferred as Presidential
candidate, does not appear; nor does it
appear that Mr.. Tilden's friends, in
picking out that peculiar qualification
to urge in his favor at st. Louis, have
been guilty of more than necessary dis
erection. No friend of his, acquainted
with his record, would ever dream of
touching upon that point except to sup
press it. I'm that record is written a
story of crooked transactions, part of
which has found its way into the
courts.
And the same issue contained the
following:
Tilden and Hendricks, two mere pro-
fessiOnal party men, representing IN
combination nothing but the time
honored" habit of the Bourbon party
/ to worship Good Lord and Good Devil,
would constitute probably the weakest
/ ticket it would be possible to concoct
at st. Louis. 1t would be. on the very
/ face of it, an advertisement of total po-
litical depravity. So palpable fraud
would disgust both the friends of hon
est money and the devotees of the
wretched legal-tender swindle. and re-
ceive the appreciation of none but po-
litical hucksters.
The Kansas City Times, which now
supports Mr. Tilden said of him just be-
fore the nomination.:
He has lived long enough to make
SO, ,000, 900 in Wall street, and yet has
never married, never propagated
his species, and never given a female a
dress in his life. He is too old to be-
gin now, and so he proposed to spend
his fortune in an effort to buy the Pres
idency of the United States.
PomerOy's Democrat spoke of Refor-
mer Tilden as, 1.-The heartless corrup-
zionist, dishonest intriguer, overbear-
ing aristocrat, railroad monopolist, ar.
rant shyster, unprincipled KnowNoth-
ing, pseudo Democrat, and corrupt tool
of the money power" and declared
that all who know Tilden regard him
as small, mean, selfish, egotistical. cum
ming, INSCRIPTIONS man, whose nomin.
alton would be national calamity
and whose election would be an utter
impOssibility.

give 1T is criminal folly to withhold it
and postpone it, under the plea that
times are hard and money must be
saved instead of expended. 1t will be
applied on the payment of the debt,
and will go to men who do not need it,
and who do not want it. Better far have
appropriated a large part of the surplus
towards the completion of the necessa-
ry public works, and thus given en-
ployment to much idle labor, and kept
the wolf from the door of thousands of
families. This of itself would have
been large step towards prosperity.
But instead of increasing the number
of Government employees, this con-
gress, with criminal disregard of the
public suffering, has, by the reduction
of appropriations added thousands to
the number of the unemployed. They
inflict cruel outrage Oh the suffering

The Plymouth Democrat in noticing
the speech made by Maj. Kendall at
the organization Of the Hayes and
Wheeler club, says: He likely does not
know that committee rooms, like
courts of law are open to all who may
choose to enter" We presume he does
not know it, nor does any one else
know it, The rule is that committees
sit with closed doors, but they have the
right to open them if they choose, and
the Republicans have always made in
yestigations public, giving persons un-
dergoing investigation free access to
the committee: But the Democratic
Naval committee sat with closed doors
for four months, and examined 500
witnesses without permitting Secreta-
ry Robson to hear the evidence
against him. 10 was one of the gross
est outrages upon the rights of an
American citizen ever perpetrated in
this country.
