The first grant was made in 1850 to the
Illinois Central railroad and the Mobile
and Ohio railroad, under the leadership
OF Stephen A. Douglas, who introduced
bill therefor and carried it through
congress. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
was representative in Congress from
Indiana March 4. 1851, to March 4. 1855,
and senator from March 4, 1868, to
March 4, 1869. On the 9th day of July,
1852, as shown by the Congressional
Globe Of that date, Mr.. Hendricks is
recorded as voting for a grant to the
states of Missouri and Arkansas of public
lands to aid il the constr uction of rail
ways, as follows:
| St. Louis and Iron Mountai ! liz, 4o8 Al
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad. I27 LBS. 81
Sc; Louis and Iron Monntain.... e3,29a. u
This last grant 10 the Little Rock and
Fort Smith company Is the one about
which Mr.. Blaine Is 50 persistenIly and
immeasurably denounced. So far from
Mr.. Blaine haYIng voted for. the grant,
it was made more than ten years before
he was = member OF congress, and was,
in fact, voted for and supported by Mr..
Thomas A. Hendricks, Democratic can.

same Mr. Hendricks now denounces the
Republican party, aud especially Mr.
Blaine, for doing what he himself did

bal and st. Joseph, COS, sos 80. In 1864
Mr.. Hendricks, as a senator in con-
gress, not only voted for, but in an ella
borate and very able speech supported a
grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad,
at what was then estimated TO be fifty
seven million acres, and Of which forty
two million acres were available, good
lands, and have been obtained under
the grant.
Again, in 1866, Mr.. Hendricks favor

I-iavOrIng an extension Of ten years

The land grants were mostly made in
answer to the popular will, but there
having been a reaction agalns
the system it has been
the constant endeavor of the
Democratic party to make political cap
itAl out Of the enormous abuses of the
land grant system. The records will
show, as above quoted, that the country
is indebted 10 the Democratic party fo
the Inauguration of the land grant bus
iness, and that its present candidate TO
vice president occupies the singularlI
inconsistent position Of denOuncing him
self for his votes in congress. Wha
can the public think OF such a dema
gogue.

Blaine at the point of shotgun to mar

father died Janusry, 1915, and it was

Republican obstructionis,s.

IT affords a great deal Of qualification
10 Republican newspapers 10 repeat
that "a Republican senate will see to
IL that Democratic president shall
not remove and appoint officials at
pleasure The hidden threat Ia this
Is that the Republican majority IN the
senate is to be used as an obstruction
to the Democratic policy Of turning
the rascals out"
We shall see If the senate is capable
Of making itself the instrument Of such
partsanism. IL will, of course, be the
policy Of the Republican party to OBJ
struct and enibarrass the adminlstra-
ton all that it can, but II ia to be chopped
that such eminent statesmen as United
States senators are supposed to be will
not lend Themselves TO the scheme
suggested. The Republican majority
ia the senate, by Withholding their as
sent TO the appointments of the presi.
dent, can cripple and delay the public
service. In doing so they may be rem
derlng service to partisan office
holders, hut they win not be acting
for the welfare Of the country.
During the two yesrs that the Dem.
ocrats had majority in the senate,
from 1877 to 1879, no attempt was
made to dictate the appointments Of
President Hayes. II they were proper
persons they We're confirmed at once,
without the question Of their politics
being thought Of But one Republi-
can appointment Of any importance
was rejected, that of Mcneil OF Mis-
souri,, who was refused confirmation
on account of his infamous connection
with the massacre of plumber Of non
combatants In Missouri during the
war, Many Republican senators, as
well az Democrats, voted to reject him
If the Republican senate enters
upon an obstructive policy now the
country will see to it that after the
fourth Of March, 1887, there will be a
Democratic senate TO sustain Demo-
cratic president.
