We have not seen the terms of any
of the bills or resolutions introduced
by either Sargent in the Senate, or by
Piper or Page in the House bearing
upon the coolie question. All we know
thereon we have learned from the
scanty dispatches we have received.
We have no complaint to make of any
OF these measures. All are directed to
the same good enid. O.. the restriction
of Chinese immigration. To-day We
learn from Washington that Senator
Sargent has developed u violent oppo.
sition to Pages resolution calling for
such a revision Of the Burlingame
treaty as will enable the United States
to reserve the right to regulate, res
trict or prevent the immigration Of
Chinese subjects into the United states,
except for commercial pursuits" Mr..
Sargent fears that the adoption Of this
resolution may interfere with the pas
sage of his bill restricting all Chinese
immigration. and limiting the number
of Chinese passengers on any vessel to
ten. We believe that all the members
from the Pacific Coast are acting in
good faith in this matter, and, as far as
their abilities go, for the hest interests
of their constituents. We hope that no
wrangling among themselves will pre-
VEN such action OF the part OF Con-
gresS and the Executive as will relieve
us before next session of all danger
from this fruitful source of danger.

THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1876.

After our last issue was printed, We
received news of the unanimous
nomination of Hendricks for the Vice
Presidency. Tilden and Hendricks!
With this ticket-no doubt the stron-
gest that could have been nominal
ted-we ought to win the race. They
are both representative men and
have a national reputation. With
reform in the Civil Service" as our
platform and watchwOrd, git is believ-
ed we can carry the honest men Of
the Republican party and make a
clean sweep at the November elec~
ton. The financial question, as will
be seen in the platform, which we
publish this week, is made seconda-
ry, but our representatives in Con-
gresg are expected to vote for the re-
peal of the resumption act. As we
understand it, the whole matter is
left to the Congressional districts. If
we can elect enough greenback men
to carry out our views, all right.
The Republicans and Democrats in
the West hold the same views on
this question; consequently neither
party can make much capital out of

man 10 lead in the State. Prominent
friends of reform urged him to accept
the nomination for Governor. They
said he could be nominated without
difficulty and elected triumphantly,
and in his triumph the great cause of
administrative reform would receive
an impulse which would propagate it
not only over the whole State, but
over the union.
Mr.. Tilden ultimately consented TO
take the nomination for Governor,

by single consideration. 1t was the

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,
From the Evansville Courier.


Thomas Andrews Hendricks was
born on the 18th day of September,
1919, in Muskingum county, Ohio,
and is therefore five years the junior
of the man who heads the ticket.
When he was but three years of age
his father moved to Shelby County,
Ind. Mr. Hendricks received liberal
education and graduated at Hanover
College, in this State, in 1871. He
then removed to Chambersburg, Pa,
where he studied law and was admit
ted to the bar in 1913. Mr. Hendricks
returned to Indiana Immediately, and
rapidly acquired a well-earned prac>
tice. In 1913, Mr. Hendricks was
chosen a member Of the Legislature,
and two years later was elected as a
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention. At the conclusion Of these
labors lie was elected to Congress
from the Indianapolis District, and
remained in that position for five
years, when he received the appoints
ment of Land Commissioner from
President Buchanan. In 1850 he ran
for Governor, but was defeated by
Henry S. Lane. The later was chO-
sea United States Senator, however,
Immediately after his Inauguration,
and Oliver p. Morton became his sue
cessor. The campaign of 1862 in
Indiana was almost a political revOlu-
ton, and Indiana elected a Democrat.
ic Legislature. Mr. Hendricks was
chosen United States Senator for the
term ending March, 1869. His Ca
reer in this body when the Democrat
ic minority was insufficient, and left
to oaly Il course of protestation against
the various measures adopted, won
for him a national reputation. His
course in the Senate is direct con-
tradiction of the criticism that he is
timid and cautious, for the debates
show him to have been active and ag>
gressiye in the times when it was not
popular or even polite to he radical
in the expression of Democratic views.
After his retirement from the Sen
ate in 1869, Mr. Hendricks devoted
himself to the practice of his protessic n
at indianapolis, and continued until
1872. when against his earnest pro-
test, he received the nomination for
Governor. His election to the office
by a majority of 1,14S votes, when
the Republicans carried the Legisla-
ture and State ticket, is but 4 proof
of his great popularity in the State of
his early adoption. He still retains
the Governorship. His administra-
ton of State affairs has been wise,
able and conscientious, and no man
can honestly criticise his official con-
duct in any position he has held
throughout his life. At the bar Mr.
Hendricks was distinguished for'learn-
ing and eloquence, and before an as
semhly he has the faculty of command
ing the collective sympathy, and him
self kindles with the excitement Of the
occasion so as TO lose the habitual cast
of thought with which his face is over
spread. To acquaintance he is affable
and courteous and he is easily ap-
preached by the most humble, but it
is only in the circle of his friends that
his geniality and sunniness of DISPOSE
ton shows itself.
