The people before long win have clear
INSIGHT into the chaFacter Of Samnel J.
TIIden. When Tweed vas in his glory,
robbing the people Of New York, Tilden
was assooisted with him in politics. The
wsy Tweed stuffed ths ballot-boxes in New
{. York is an old story that win not be for
gotten. He cheated Grant out Of the elec-
toral vots Of New York in 1868, as was
abundantly proven BY 3 Congressional in
Testigation. Tilden was the Chairman Of
TEeeds Committee.
Vice Hendricks, at IadianapOlis on Fri
day evening last removed ell doubt as to his
status upon the financial question, in as

Carl Scburz has spoken through the
WsstlicAs-P Poe, Of st. Louis, his views con-
esrnine the Democratic ticket, and has set
ut rest all uncertainty as to his choice be-
tWesn HAYES and Wheeler and Tilden and
Hendricks. BE spuTns the latter as a
swindling combination, and viii have
none Of It. Such Germans as Sehurz are
not slow in the discrimination Of char
iacter and stability. Itdoes not take long,
therefore, toehose between the men and the
tickets.
- The PsnnsylVania Railroad inTestiga-
ton begun BY 8 Congressional Committee
has been postponed until December next.
To haTs pushed the matter vigorously
would have incurred the ill-wiu of the
great railway corporations interested in the
matter, and, IS Tilden relies strongly ups
on railroad infuenee to assist his cleo
ton, the order was no doubt promulgated
from Albany for the postponernent Of the
Investigation til after the close Of the
Presidential campaign.
Nj. Hendricks and the Indiana Demo
crats must feel greatly huiniIiated at being
forced to take the second place on the tick
ct with q man at the head HhomH they hate
Is cordially as they could possibly hste
any member Of their own party. Il was
bad enough to have Hendricks defeated
for the first place, without imposing on
him the duty Of helping to carry in Indi-
ana and the West the very man who rout-
ed him, and to do that BY taking the sub
erdinats place on the ticket. Senator Nc
Donald, speaking in the Convention On be- ]
bali Of Hsndaeks, would not pledge the !
lsttsE to accspt ths nomination for Vice
President, and intimated q very serious
doubt as to whether Indiana wonld 90
Democratic, even with Hendricks running.
The fact is that the Vice Presidency IS
place without patronage, or influence, and
the eleetioa Of Hendricks TO that Office
would IN ne sense secure to the Indians
Democrats Whist they hoped for in running
him for President. The President end
Yies President are generally at logger
heads. and it Wauld be notably 50 in the
csza- Of Tilden and Hendricks If they |
could ever attain these positions. Hen
dgieks win never forgive Tilden, and Til
den wiz always suspect and hate Hen.
drieks as one man always suspects and
hates another whom he has wronged.
