The Voice of Victory.

There is something in the very names Of
Tilden and Hendricks which has the ring Of
victory. II sounds like ticket of the olden
days, when honesty, patriotism and states
manship were the index which was used for
the selection of the presidential candidates
They are names which for years have rode
upon the tormost wave of national notoriety
but which were borne up, not like so many OF
the present day, by purchasing their sails
and initiating them with corruption and plum
der, but b. administrative acts of reform
which have endeared them to the hearts of all
lovers Of honest, faithful and economical adj
mnistration of government. Their deeds
have reflected national lustre around them
which has placed them conspicuously before
every person Of the country and when their
names are displayed upon the ticket no man
will wonder what manner of men they are

political managers. 10 the people, Tilden and
Hendricks will be making immense strides to-

mated, was received throughout The entire
country with wild rejoicings and the general
expression that success is certain Hayes,
when nominated, scarcely reusing cheer,
and the people wondering who he is and from
whence he comes.
Both stand before the people upon plat
form pledging reform, Tilden nominated for
that purpose by plundered people demand
ing reformation; Hayes nominated by the
plunderers Of the people, who only make their
promises to break them as soon as success is
achieved. Tildeu, who, when the State of
New York was being robbed by official plum
derers of his ewn party, and who aroused
against himself all The hatred of that then
powerful element, started upon his warfare in
the interest OF reform and has never ceased
