The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-08-09

statesmaulike We opposed the nomins-
ton of Mr.. Tilden. When nominated, we
gave him support. With his letter before
US, we cordially call upon our friends
everywhere to give him an earnest support.
De mas Jeit no excuse for a third party.
DE has lett no excuse for rebellion or
Doltlng" among Democratic ranks. He
has made noble and sta esmanIike conces-
slons to the Democracy OF the West, by
reason of which be deserves their support.
IL there are any who are dissatisfied with
the letter of Mr.. Tilden il must be- the bul-
lonlsts of the East, under whose approba-
ton be has serenely rested. Upon all other
topics the letter OF Mr.. Tilden is excellent.
sTATEsMANLIKE DOCUMENT.
lSt. Louis Republican,
The whole document is coucned in very
vigorous, plain and simple language. L
loi ger than such letters usually are, 1t
may be said that the occasion and the op-
portunity justify an elaborate presentation
OF views aud sentiments. The letter is
such one as could emanate only from a
state sman worthy to be the president of a
grand republic. Those who have been wor-
ryiug themselves as TO any Disagreement
OF the views OF Gov. Hendricks with the
sentiments expressed by the st. Louis
convention, will find in his letter &C.
coping the nomin ration for vice presi-
dent that there Is no such disagreement.
In his clear and fOrcible letter, Mr.. Hen
bricks starts out with q full, uneauivocal
and emphatic endorsement of the Demo-
cratic plsttorm. He reioices that the
standard of reiorm has been 30 conspicu-
cusly raised, and places the responsibilit
Of the evils from which the country suf-
fers, not upon the president alone, but
upon the system which congressional
and party leaiers have made stronger
than the president" This point is well
taken, and should be enforced throughout
the canvass.
HENDRICKS HoNoRs HIS COMPANY.
Chicago Timesl
Ofthe general functions OF government
and office, Hendricks very naturally be-
lieves with the Jeffsrsonian school. he is
so little of centralist that he holds that
tire prodigious political evils Of the times
are TO be attributed to the baleful compul-
sorry Influences of party leaders, rather
than the corrupt instincts OF the president.
Nor does he give this as his conviction
without an evidence of a thorough knowl-
edge o. the conditions ana limitations OF
both. He draws from his six years as SEN
ator an experience which justifes the ex-
preston OF faith. Otherwise he holds,
and with force, TIE change In the head of
the administration might insugurste
reiCrm, since the executive alone
and not his advisers won d be guilty of the
decentralization. The substi .usion OF a
pure tor an,impure man would reform the
government. AS It Is, the election OF any
oue man will make no sential difference
the whole system must be revolution
izsd. Nor is he inexplicit or vague or
hard-hearted in the reform necessary to
raise the standard of public morals. He
would have q general reform il the civil
service. He would retain in Office ire
spectve of party I'll who by capacity, in
tegnty and fitness approved themselves
worthy OF reten ton. That is a long way
in advance ofthe N Ost lipeIal form thus
tar declared. Nor is the governor without
a practical record in this preaching. IL
must be said I'd his credit that party lines
have not withheld fit men from judicial
and other p)sitions in Indiana since he
has been governor. Ga the whole, Hen
bricks does no discredIt in this uttersnce
TO the company he is in.
COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE.
[COurier-Journal.l
We publish this morning the lorg-
looked for letters of acceptance from the
two governors. Each OF them rings a
New York strike out from the shoulder
clear note. But the great reform COVER
nor is like man whose muscle has been
de geloped by incesssnt training and
practice. Governor Tilden is certainly a
master OF practical administration, and
for the reason that be Is equally a doctri-
nsire in the best arts snd usages of gov
eminent. No one can read his clear
and simple elucidsion of the hard times
problem and bis straightforward, compre-
hensive, and comprehensive SCENE for
the restoration OF better times without
feeling that he is perusing the preach
ments of one who knows by the expert
ences of lifetime given TO material pur-
suits what he is preaching about. There
are no glitteriug gsneraliJles in Governor
TIlden's busine-s-lIke communication to
the American people. IL Il sn embodi-
ment OF cOmmoD sense derived from great
kno~lecgs OF human nature and nn-
man atisirs. lie lie worth, in every aspect,
dozen of sucn platitudinOus illusions as
that which Carl SchuIz ore pared for Gov.
Hsyes, because it is the emsnstion of a
mind fruitful In practical resources, and
not the offspring OF mere theory expressed
in mere rhetoric. We commend it to a
more careful reading than is bestowed
upon the political literature of our time.
1t deserves to be studied, tor it contains
something more than "words, words,
words" The letter OF Gov. Hen
sustsins in every part the ut
tersnces OF Governor 1llden. The two
governors are, therefore, in perfect accord.
They give the Democratic campaign a mag
nificent send-Cf. Their letters will impress
themselves upon the mi-ds and hearts OF
millions of their countrymeD, and msy be
accepted not only as foretokeniDg glori-
Gus Democratic victory in November, but
as disclosing a glorious Democratic policy
which will be inaugurated and put into
practical effect from the 4th of next March.
