"The assistance which he rendered toward seeur-

truth in the story, as indeed every one supposed

nomination for the Presidency, is to subject him

The New York World uses harsh Ian
guage to Mr.. Hendricks in connection
with the Indiana convention. 1t says
"Had Mr. Hendricks had any chance to
secure the nomination at st. Louis, his
action during the past six week would
have destroyed it, for this is not time
when the democracy will condone the Of
Tense of those who try 10 hunt with the
hounds and run with the hare. 1t may be,
and probably is, true that he was the
creature of circumstances over which he
had la,terly no control, for he helped along
the initiation movement year ago, and
made, with Wash Mclean as head cham
bermaid, the uncomfortable bed he must
now lie on; none the less has Indiana's
iavorite son lacked wisdom and courage
to take at the flood that tide that might
have led him to fortune, and now sweep
ing by, has left him stranded in shadows
and miseries."
Nevertheless Hendricks will be at St.
Louis with following large enough to
drive Tilden from the track, unless the
present aspect of things in the democratic
party changes very much before the con.
vention. :.

ELECTION FRAUDS IN NEW YORK.

The attempt on the part OF the demo-
Gratis at Washington to defame President
Grant in connection with certain expendi-
lures Of the Secret Service Fund, have
served to refresh the public mind in re-
gard to the great election frauds commit
ted in New York under the direction OF
Tammany Hall. Ii wa in order to check
or put an end to those frauds, which were
Of gigantic proportions and far reaching
in their operations, that Davenport was
appointed Supervisor OF Elections and
did the work the manner of payment for
which is now called in question by Mr..
Caulfcld's Committee.
II was in relation to the preparation OF
these frauds that Horace Greeley addressed
his famous letter to Samuel 1ilden, then
chairman of the democratic State Commit
tee Of New York, but now Governor of
that State and seeking the democratic
nomination as candidate for President,
appealing to him to use his influence for
a fair election in New York, and remind
ing him that ii he but said the word his
position gave him the power to put stop
to the repeating and other villainies by
which the ballot-b box was outraged But
Mr.. Tilden. now conspicuous as a
would-be reformer, turned deaf
ear to Mr.. Greeley's appeal, and al
lowed the frauds to go on. And
so they continued until the general
government was obliged to take the mat
ter in hand, and through Dayeaport's la
bors succeeded in putting an end to them.
1t is for this good work in promoting and
establishing fair elections in New York,
that Davenport is now called before the
committee of the democratic House at
Washington, and the President has been
denounced in the democratic papers and
threatened with impeachment.
As an example of the spirit which actu-
ates the investigations at Washington this
is instructive. The Tammanyites are pur-
suing the President because he interfered
with and broke up their system of con-
it,sing the elections in New York by the
ruflianly class of the city. A large
share Of the investigations going on
at Washington are conducted in no better
spirit than this. The public business is ne
elected and the treasury is largely drawn
upon in order that scoundrels may repeat
scandals and falsehoods to be reported in
the press Tor defamatory and partizan
purposes.
