| INDIANAPOLIS, July I8-The Ddilu
Netus publishes the following interview
with Governor Hendricks, with refer.
ence to the special from Saratoga to the
Commercial Advertiser, New York:
Reporter-Will you indicate to the
NelOs whether or not there is any truth
In the Associated Press dispatch from
New York, to the effect that such differ
ences developed between yourself and
Governor Tilden, at the Saratoga con-
fereneey on the currency question, as to
possibly oblige you to repudiate Tilden
or retire yourself from the ticket?
Enthusiastically / have seen no
such dispatch rs you refer to. THE re.
porter promptly produced the telegram,
and the governor, after reading 1t aloud,
continued, 1t is wholly unfounded in
every particular.
Reporter-Was your conference with
Mr.. Tilden harmonious and satisfac-
tory?
Mr.. Hendricks-It was; Of course we
differed on some immaterial points, but
on the real issues of the campaign we
were united. 1t would, indeed, be
strange coincident to find any two men
In the country whose opinions on ma
tionsl questions were in exact harmony.
Reporter-The telegram, then, you
pronounce as lacking of every element
Of truth?
Mr.. Hendricks-Most decided SO;
The Commercial Advertiser, referred to
In the telegram, suspect Is strongly
partisan paper, which readily accounts
for the fabrication to which 1t gave pub
licity.
ANOTHER INTERVIEW.
Cincinnati EnquiIer.l
INDIANAPOLIS, July 16.-Governor
Hendricks returned from the east this
morning, and when approached this
evening spoke freely of his eastern visit.
Without relating matters which are
properly private regarding Mr.. Tilden
and himself, he said Mr.. Tilden had
called on him at Saratoga, and they had
discussed the political situation at some
length. He had known the governor of
New York long before, and on this oc.
casion was confirmed in his previous es-
innate OF his character. He is man of
great nerve and decided aggressive prin-
ciples. There is no authority, said Gov.
ernor Hendricks, for the statement that
Governor Ti!den is using his influence
to oppose the repeal of the resumption
clause. He stands on the platform. At
the same time 1t is true that reform will
be the cry of the campaign, aud that
question in Mr.. Tilden's mind seems to
overshadow all others. In this he is
only abiding by the spirit OF the plat
form, and certainly is expressing the de-
msnds of the time. That is q paramount
consideration of the governors Democ.
racy. In answer to the question whether
he had any hope OF congress acting
on the repeal this session, he remarked,
with much earnestness, that with any
other congress there would be no doubt
of prompt action, but that the present
house is so constituted that the commit
tee are sgainst US. There are two men, two
Democrats, one from Illinois and one
from Louisiana, actually holding back
the entire party on this great issue.
There should be some way to reach their
cases, but 1t has not yet been successful
ly suggested. 81 understand" he con-
tinued, "that the gentleman from Louis
lana has stated that tomorrow he will
present his plan to the committee, aud
have some hope that 1t will be in har-
mony with our expectations. want
them to do something tc morrow or stop
trif1ing. l believe the Enquirer has
given up hope long ago." he remarked,
ION the ground that the Democrats there
have not the courage to do their duty.
l am sorry 1t should be their fault. It is
very unfortunate. Should the present
house do nothing, the only way will be
to transfer the qut ton to our congress
sionaI districts, and have the next con-
gress constituted with view to that is
