make a different ticket 10 the one
which heads this article, they heartily
acquiesced, as good Democrats always
do. in the will Of the majority. Even
the anti.Tilden, anti.Tammany Dem
ocrats Of New York, headed by Au-
gustus Schell and John Kelley, who
went TO the Convention with large
force for the purpose of defeating Mr..
TiIden, heartily joined in the chorus
for Tildeu, Hendricks and Reform,
and they returned to New York asser-
ting that 1t should be their pride TO
use their best efforts to secure the tri.
umph of the ticket. From every
State in the Union, come the joyful
tidings that the Democrats are united
and firm in the determination to root
out the corrupt practices Of the party
in power by electing Tilden and Hen
bricks. Our readers are familiar with
the names Of the two men, for their
worthy deeds as Governors Of two of
the greatest States in the Union, have
given them a reputation for States
manship co-extensive with the nation.
New York, the lifelong home Of Mr..
Tilden, and Indiana the home Of Mr..
Hendricks, have just cause to be proud
of their distinguished sons. The man
ner in which each has conducted the
affairs Of State and brought to con-
dign punishment the rogues who have
plundered the treasury, is an earnest
that when the reins Of National Gov
eminent shall be placed in their hands
the country will rise from the depths
to which it has been sunk by sixteen
years Of Radical misrule. No formal
acception of the high positions
which have been rendered to the two
distinguished gentlemen has been
signifed by them. but there can
be no doubt that each will, in due
time, and formally, tell the people that
the proHered trust is accepted. In
fact, they could not refuse it. A ma
ton, as it were, not section, calls
them, and they must, and will heed,
and accept that call. The platform
upon which a united Democracy in
vites them to stand, is based upon Re
form. 1t is the sheet anchor Of our
hopes as a nation offreemen. Without
reform in every department Of our
government, there can be no hope for
future prosperity and greatness. The
ticket presented is the ideal, the per-
sonification of Reform. New York,
the Empire State of the Union, with
her IS electoral votes, representing
millions of souls and millions Of mon
ey and other property, had been con-
trolled by rings and thieves, until that
great State seemed to be little else
than a den of robbers, sucking the
life-blood of the people. A reform
was necessary to save the tax payers
who had been burthened with tax Of
sixteen millions. The rings and dens
must lie broken up. In this condition
of affairs the people arose in their ma
jesty, without regard to past party
predictions. and called Samuel j.
Tilden to the helm Of State. Behold
the change! The canal and other
rings were broken up, the ring leaders
sent to the penitentiary, and the tax
reduced from sl6,000,0O0-to S.
100000. To our nominee for the
Presidency, the people of New York
city and State. are indebted for this
wonderous reform. There are Nation.
al rings and dens of thieves who
need to be reformed. The people de-
mand Gov. Tilden's services at the
head of National affairs in order to
purify the political atmosphere, and
the signs of the times strongly iDdi-
cate that the good work will begin af-
ter the 4th of March next. Thos. A.
Hendricks, the great and good Cover
nor Of Indiana, not less able as
Statesman and Reiormer, than Mr..
Tilden. will be suitable help-mate in
bringing about a thorough reform in
all public affairs. His talents, integ-
riiy, and honesty. have rendered H.
diana one of the leading 81 States.
His nomination secures to the Democ-
racy, Indiana, above all possible doubt,
because the people know him to be
without spot or blemish in public or
10 private life. Nothing detrimental
can be said of either Tilden or Hen
bricks. and having been the servants
Of the masses in their respective
States, it is fair to presume that neith-
er has ever falsifed or betrayed the
great trust which has been confded
to him. And this is the ticket pre-
sented to every qualified voted in the
land for his suffrage in November
next. Coulda better or stronger onehave
been made by Democratic Conyen-
Iionl Is il not immeasurably superi.
