Jority was indicative Of Republican weakness
rather than of Democratic strength, but
when the Democratic party is required to
contemplate the reduction OF that majority
to 10000 it forces upon the minds of prudent
men the conviction that the State of New
York may be lost entirely to the Democratic
party unless the incest of wise counsels pre-
vail.
Taking this view of the subject, the Demo-
cratic party is confronted with an lnterroga-
tory which cannot be brushed aside-that
will not down. 1t must be considered. 1t
must be answered. 1t is this: Who of all
the distinguished men whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for President, is
most certain to carry New York in 1884? In
replying to that question, which is pivotal,
commanding, opportune, central and essen
tial, there need be no hesitancy. Equivoca-
ton is not in order FrankneSs is what is
required. The welfare of the country is at
stake. Individual preferences must yield
to that higher and nobler idea, the good of
the country. the triumph of the Democratic
party. What then is the natural, the
spontaneous response to the query: Who
can carry New York in 1884? In naming
Samuel J. Tilden l am satisfied i voice the
sentiments of the great mass of the Demo-
cratic party of the country. Samuel J. Til
den can carry New York, and the Demo
cratic party, to succeed in 1884, must carry
the Empire State. To ignore it is treason to
the Democratic party and to all the high
hopes and patriotic aspirations which have
animated the party since the DAYS of Jeffer-
son.
Again, the Democratic party in 1884 must
carry Indiana. New York gives thirtY-six
Eelecteral votes, Indiana gives fifteen,
total of fifty-one votes for President have
said that Samuel J. Tilden is the man
to carry New York in 1884, and
this view of the New York problem
leads naturally to the inquiry,
who of all the distinguished Democratic
standard-bearers named in connection with
the Democratic Presidential ticket is most
likely to carry Indiana in 1884? Quick as
the thunder peal follows the flash, the re.
spouse is Thomas A. Hendricks. There is
absolutely no controversy on that subject.
There is not negative voice in the State,
nor in the country of sufficient character to
require attention. By universal consent.
Thomas A. Hendricks is the citizen, the
statesman, the Democrat who can carry In
diana if the State can be carried at all for
the Democratic ticket in 1884.
The Democratic party takes special pleas
ure in contemplating the character. the
qualifications and the abilities of Thomas
A Hendricks. His life is above reproach
true to conviction, self possessed, lf-poised,
Sell-assured, devoted 10 principle, and with
courage equal to conviction, he is always,
whether in victory or defeat whether
leading fOrlorn hope, or at The head of his
party flushed with triumph the same grand
character Here in Indiana. Thomas A.
Hendricks is a ''favorte SON. enthrOned in
the affections of the people who will rally
10 his standard they will rally to the
standard of no other living man. To say less
is TO lalSify history and put upon record a
palpable injustice
What, then of the matter under discus
sion? What is the lesson Of the elections.
do not hesitate to declare that the COM
handing conclusio ion is that il brings to the
front the old ticket. and brings it there to

events have no meaning and the Democratic
party is at sea without chart or compass.
do not so think or believe. The late
elections demonstrate beyOng cavil that
American thought and conviction are IN
favor of Democratic supremacy, but there are
circumstances which emphasize the import
ance of Democratic prudence, Democratic
prescience and Democratic harmony. These
elements of success secured and assured.
there will be a majestic power in the old
ticket, TIl!en and Hendricks, which
will prove irresistible. The
''old ticket symbolizes not only Democratic
supremacy, economy, reform integrity, JUS
tice and the enthronement of Constitutional
| vertieS but ii means as no other ticket can
imply popular rebuke of the most stupen-
dous crime ever perpetrated in land digni-
fed and glorified by popular sovereignty.
Such are my views in regard to the politi-
cal outlook, and am the more readily will
ing to put them on record, because | am
convinced they are the views of great ma
! iority of Indiana Democrats, and of the
Democratic party throughout the Union.

A correspondent of the New York Sun asks
for the prayers of all true Christians for the
State of Massachusetts, for the following rea-
sons;

voters.

meaningly that children whose parents have failed
