with this. There is more, and perhaps worse,
to come.
HendrIeks's MisconsI acs ga 1850 Ruined
Him for AIi Time.
Baltimore SUMS w sshiDgton special: at is
a marvel that Mr.. Hendricks would announce
his Willingness to sgain go on the ticket with
Mr.. rilden, sfter what has occurred between
them. The following facts, now for the first
time printed, ami which we're obtained from
the most undoubied sources, possess addi-
tional interest in view of the changed atti-
tude Of Mr.. Hendricks. While in 1876, be.
fore the action of the Democratic Conven
tioh at s.. Louie, Mr.. Hendricks hoped and
expected to receive the Democratic nonina-
ton for President, positively declined over
and over the nomination for Vice President,
ADD forced the Convention to adjourn with.

own personal ambition and aspirations, and
was 10 no wi-e aciuatfd by any feeling to-
ward Mr.. Tilden, with whom al IHe lime he
was unaoquaInled. Some time afer the sd-
tournament Of the Convention, Mr. Hendricks
went to Saratoga for the purpose, a. he uu-
derst0od, Of comforting ADD Consulting with
Mr.. TIldea as 10 their letters of acceptance
aad plans for conducting the csmpaIgn.
Here he apple of discord was sowH which

to the friends Of Mr.. Hendricks, Mr. Tilden
did not consult with hiih, almost Ignored he
presencs and the iatervie VS. which took place
e@t4seh Them were formal lad Inca ming lssa.
Mr.. Hendricks left Saratoga In disgust.
From that time till the election in NoVem-
Der Mr.. IIiden evinced no desiIe for any in
tercourse with his associate on the ticket;
and Mr.. Hendricks, sInsrting under what he
considered the neglect at Saratoga, made no
oyertures TO Mr.. L IIden. Alter the election
1t waa the same. Daring all the long aud
trying period that elapsed from November
until March, when Hayes and Wheeler we're
hoally declared elected, Mr.. Tild IN neither
directly nor indirectly communicated with
Mr.. Hendricks. Mr.. TiIden may have had

Rouli receive it. Hos fallacious their
reasoning was shown when, after Mr.. rilden's
deeliDstion, Mr.. Hendricks had not one vote
in the Convention beyond the half-hesrted
support of his own delegation. Surmises are
thrown out that Mr.. Hendricks, in the posi-
ton just assumed, was prompted by the be-
lief that Mr.. TIiden would decline, and his
own chances for the Presidential nomination
would be very much enhanced. Whether Mr.
Hendricks has such ideas does not MISTER.
He will not obtain the nomination for Presi'
dent. The time has gone By when that was
possible. 1t is exceedingly Questionable
whether he could even secure a united dele.
