The Rebellion Record of Hendr1ck

HIS PERSISTENT OPPOSITION TO EVERY MEAS
URE FOR CARRYING ON THE WAR.
Secretary Mcpherson, in response to numer
Gus inquiries. has prepared the following letter
as to the record of Thomas A. Hendricks dur
ing the Rebellion:
WAsHINGTON, ID. G., Sept. ), 1884.
To ID. +. Welch, Esq, Baraboo. Wis:
Dear Sir-I have not prepared any pamphlet
about Mr.. Hendricks record in the Senate
but during his term in Congress he voted
against every tax bill to raise money to carry
on the war. He was in the senate when the
| Tariff act of 1864 was passed, and he was one OF
five Democrats who voted against it. On the
question of the Draft act, which was passed in
the winter of 1864, and which increased the
power of the Government to fill up our weak
ened armies, be was one of ten Senators who
voted against il on its original passage through
the Senate, and one of sixteen who voted
against it on its final passage. He also voted
against the passage of the supplement to the
Enrolment act. which was passed in July, 1864
He did not vote in favor of any measure that
looked to carrying on the war On the question
of employing cOiOred troops he was always in
opposition, and was one of the most determined
of the opposition to the administration OF
Abraham Lincoln in all its measures for put
ting down the Rebellion. He was opposed to
the amendment to the Constitution abOlishno
slavery, and was one of six Senators who voted
in the negative. He was opposed to the Four
tenth Amendment to the Constitution, and
was one of eleven Senators who voted in the
opposition. If there was suggestion or move
Inent calculated to embarrass Mr.. Lincoln Mr.
Hendricks was always in support of it. If there
was an honest blow TO be struck at the enemy
Mr.. Hendricks was always unable to come tc
the help of Mr.. Lincoln. Sometimes he haC
one excuse and sometimes another. He Away.
had an excuse. His record during the wal
was detestable and unpatrotic.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD MCPHERSON,

One feature of the election in this county is
both surprising and gratifying. Among those
who voted the straight Republican ticket last
Monday We're greater or less number In al
most every town who had been lifelong Demo-
Gratis. Their patriotism is commendable They
nave wisely cut loose from party which is OPP
posing every good movement and araying itself
against the best interests of the people. to
strengthen the party of progress, temperance
and morality, the party which stands for the
welfare and prosperity of the whole country.
John George Bourinot, Esq, Clerk of the
Canadian House Of Commons. has recently
completed IA work on Parliamentary Proceed
ure in Canada" which is highly complimented
by the leading reviews and periodicals of Eng
land. 1t is a work involving great deal of
labor, and as the British Quarterly Review
says supplies a distinct want. and will be of
the greatest value to the lawyer and parlia-
mentaran.' Mr. Bourinot devotes his leisure
hours to study and literary work, and has won
prominent place among Canadian men of

The trick of the opposition in asserting that
Maine Republicans were claiming 20 900 or 20
oN0 majority, when the highest estimate was
but 10000 is exposed by the Boston journal,
which says: We have TO 60 back eight years
i'll Maine to the Gubernatorial election of 1876
for 4 Republican majority of HIPS. The in
iluence Of the Greenback movement brought
the Republican majority down to 544l in 1877.
The next year this disappeared altogether, and
The combined opposition vote exceeded the
Republican by T., 49,. In 1879 the Republicans
fell short of majority by SOB, and i'll 1850, in
the Gubernatoral election preceding the elec :
ton of Garfield, the Republicans were beaten
by lS9 plurality for the Fusion candidate. At
the next Gubernatorial election, in 1SS2, the
Republican majority was 6Ss6. The following
is Il compact statement of the vote at the last
six Gubernatorial elections:

Read the Returns.

The election returns published in other col
umns tell the story of the battle fought and
won in this State on Monday last. 1t was Il
glorious victory, unexpected in its magnitude
and far reaching in its results. Maine and
Vermont have led the way, Ohio and West
Virginia will follow next month, and in No
ycmber Blaine and Logan, the peoples candi-
dates will sweep the country.
The highest Republican estimate was 10000
majority on the Gubernat oral vote. Governor
Robe is reelected by $1,000 majority. The
Democrats counted on defeating Reed in the
First District. He is returned by 100 majority
while Representatives Dingley, Nilliken and
5outelle are reelected by increased majorties
Maine will have in the 49th Congress. as she
has had in the 18th Congress- a delegation sec
ond TO none and equalled by few,-a delega-
lion in which every citizen of Maine should
feel Il pride. The Legislature is overw helming-
~ Republican in both branches. Every county
has gone Republican. Waldo is redeemed. She
has been in the tolls of the enemy, has suffer
I'd il reputation and in pocket under Fusion
mi>rule, but her hour of deliverance is at hand
and she can once more stand proudly erect
among her sister counties.

The Boston mud machines - the Herald,
Globe and Advertiser-red doubled their eXer-
tions As the day Of The Maine election approach
ed. They raked the cutters for garbage and
filth and kindred ammunition to throw at Mr..
Blaine, while their hreling liars in this State,
stimulated, no doubt, by promise Of increased
compensation did their utmost in the way of
inyenting scandals, circul ating forgeres and
propasating lies. But it was all in vain. The
people of Maine have set the seal of condemna-
tors, by rolling up an increased Republican ma
jority. In good time they will settle the ac-
count with the defamers of this State and of
its hon0red leader.

Some one has sent us a bulky pamphlet which
aims to prove that beer is supplanting distilled
liquors, and that beer drinking has largely con-
tributed to the prosperous condition Of the
country. The brewers and saloon keepers have
prospered, no doubt, but the people would be
more prosperous if they let both beer and
