day morning it aroused itself to its custo-
mory role of abuse, singing out Gov.
Hendricks as the object of its venom.
With an insincerity entirely characteristic,
it beslabbers Gov. Cleveland with affected
SANDER of Gov. Hendricks the more effec-
lively. The feeling in this community has
long been that the praise of that venal
journal is disgrace and its abuse harmless
Gov. Hendricks is gentleman of too high
character, and too well established national
reputation to be affected by the ribald villif-
cation of the Pioneer-PresS. 1t assails him
by general denunciation, without specifying
single act personally derogatory to him.
AS Governor of Indiana and United States
Senator, he'has displayed marked and con-
spicuous ability and ripe craftsmanship. In
personal character he is without reproach,
and in official integrity without spot or blem
ish. The secret of this vile attack upon his
character, is in fear of his popularity, and of
tine strength which he brings to the contest,
not only in Indiana, where he is respected by
all classes of the comm unity, for his exalted
personal character and shining abilities, but
throughout the whole country. The fear that
his nomination will carry Indiana against
the Republican ticket, inspires this manifest
alton of hate and detraction.
The vile and venal p. p. thinks it can afford
to commend Gov. Cleveland without aiding
him, because it believes that with the defec-
ton of John Kelly and his gang of Tamany-
ties he cannot carry the state of New York,
and the idea prevails that Republica n COM
mendation will place an additional aping
knife in the hands of political savages to
immediate their victim and iniame Demo-
cratic hate and hostility. The commenda
ton of the Pioneer Press has this insane
basis and no other
But the fear of Gov. Hendricks, as the
representative Of the sold ticket,' and the
victim conformity with Gov. Tilden, of the
basest fraud that disgraces American annals,
inspires this venomous abuse, to weaken bis
position and damage his canvass. Vain
hope. There is sense of justice abiding in
the breasts of the people, that will cause them
to rectify wrong when convinced of its
perpetrator.
The ticket put in nomination at Chicago
last week is one of exceptional character and
strength. With the exception of Mr.. Tilden,
ton of the high character and
great worth of the several gen.
tlemen whose names were suggested in con
nection with the presidency, in all justice il
may be said that no better or more deserving
nomination could have been made, nor one
pie than the one that was made.
In private and public character, Gov. Cleve
land is without blot or stain, and in developed
ability is the equal of any of his compeers o.
the present day. As Governor of the state
of New York, he has shown capacity. enlight

unswerving integrity, a lofty, but not bigotet
independence, and withal, the courage o
his honest convictions in the discharge o
executive duties.
1t was his faithful following out the right
as he understood the right to be, without
swerving, that set John Kelley's breech
clout partisans against him. They coult
not use him. He refused to appoint to

Grady who assaulted him in the Chicago con
vention, and whom Gen. Bragg denounce,
on the floor of the convention as a taker o
brides, as New York state senator. Fo

he brought down upon him the Ire of Johr

But they have not power to carry the stat,

1t is not often that a gentleman of sue
