view with ex Gov. Hendricls,b by Jay Turpin
OF its editorial staff The manuscript is
said to have been revised by Mr.. H., and
tn erefore is reliable. Mr.. Turpin says:
Saturday afternoon I gave Mr.. Hen
dricks a call. He was alone in his Office
looking through weekly papers. He
readily laid the papers aside and gave
himself so completely to the visitor that
was led to believe it was matter of mutual
enjoyment. The conversation took a wide
range, referring to Mr.. TiIden, ex-senator
Conkling, what he regards as the most
effective speech of his career in senate of
the United States, dining with Chas. Sum
ner and Agassiz at the residence of the
great statesman in Washington, etc. At
no time since Mr.. H. retired from his
campaign in 1876 had his health been bet
ter than it is to-day.
Il knew I was not going to die," he said,
"but some doctors thought otherwise. I
stood greatly in need of the rest a sore foot
arbitrarily imposed"
"While in New York, did you see Mr.
Tilden?"
My visit being merely of business ma
ture, and time an object, did not see Mr..
Tilden.'
"He is generally described in newspa-
pers as having recovered?"
eyes, from all that can hear it is rea-
sonable that he is in better health than he
has been for years"
The country being assured that the
Old iron governor of New York is physical
ly qualified flor the presidency would make
every postmaster between Maine and Cal
ifornia tremble. They would regard the
nomination of the old Democratic ticket
as equivalent to victory"
Mr. Hendricks laughed and said, there
is 90 doubt some truth III that. Mr.. Til
den is one of the most remarkable citizens
of the republic. A work to satisfy him
must be finished. His letter of acceptance
was treatise of a perfect master of the
whole system of political economy. He
has lived down even calumny, every SLAM
der awakened by prosecution of that fel-
low, Bliss, and dismissed as soon as thev
ceased to be of any political benefit. The
whole country has watched him closely
since hs was defrauded of the presidency.
He is indeed good man.
"Is it the Bliss now prosecuting Brady
and Dorsey who brought those indictments
against Mr.. Tilden?"
''The same fellow"
Il remember lately" observed the
writer, seeing in the Cincinnati En-
qujrer paragraph to this effect: The
Republicans laugh when the old ticket of
- Tilden and Hendricks is mentioned.' Did
you see it."
YES answered Mr.. Hendricks with a
smile. 81 saw that. There seems to be
strong sentiment in favor of the old ticket.
-Four years ago 1 did not realize the full
force of the demand and really felt had
been in the position (vice president) long
enough. did not feel the absolute ne
cessity of taking second place. It was for
that reason 1 declined, not from any hostil-
lty to Mr. Tilden. On the contrary there
was no man in the government whose vir-
tues held ir higher esteem"
To this the writer replied, II have talked
on this question in various parts of the
country and with Democrats from every
section. All unite in believing the failure
to nominate the old ticket at Cincinnati. a
public calamity. Geo. W. Julian said to
me, in that nomination there would have
been or will be vitalizing principle In
every section it would awaken
patriotic impulse, an en-
thusiasm, to wipe out the great
stain of 1876 that would result in electing
by larger majority than ever before cast
within the history of the country. have
heard no man from Democratic country
editor to a congressman doubt that that
ticket would be triumphantly elected
'Yes," answered Mr.. H., ''when duty Is
required OF rs, however dIstastetul, 1t must
be performed. I do not doubt that if the
old ticket was renominated it would be
elected. was reading just before you
came In" continued Mr.. H., "of Gov. But
ler' we were never friends nor particular
enemies but he is doing famous work in
Massachusetts. II is good solid Democrat
ic work and the Democrats of the whole
country ought to appreciate it,"
remember lately TO have seen en- inter-
view with ex-senator Coakling in which he
alluded to you very kindly.
81 did not happen to see it but if Mr..
ConkIing spoke of me at all it was no
doubt kindly. 1 have always had the high
est degree of respect for his statesmanship.
