Ext Governor Hendricks of this State
should not be elected Vice President and
I'll tell you why. In the first place no
living man knows his position on any
issue. He has no fixed position on any
important subject. But it is Of his pas'
record lam going to write. During the
war lie was rebel sympathizer known a.
q "Copperhsad.' and Ill prove il by ex-
tracts from speeches made by him ct the
time: In 1862 he said, III the war being
prosecuted should have the effect OF abol-
ishing our market in the South by dss.
troy ing the peculiw system Of labor IN that
Section then / would advise the North
vest to look out for itself" A few days
ago / read 10 . Democratic paper the
ridiculous assertion that Hendricks was
great friend Of Lincoln. Why, in 1868
he denounced Lincoln % an imbecils and
q tyrast aud in . speech made At Shelby
vile. Ind by the way one Of the strongest
Democratic neighborhoods Of the State,
he said, III Congress would take bundle
OF switches and switch them Lincoln and
his cabinet out Of the White house il
would he well for the people. but until
that is done it will not be we'll. You hear
prayers in our churches. Your sens 60
