T. A. Hendrioks. Copperhead.

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. d. O., Sept. 5, 1884.
To D. q. JFeIch, Esq, Baraboo, Wis -
Dear SRI have not prepared any pamphlet
about Mr.. Hendricks's 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 pes1ed, ana be was one OF
five democrats who voted against 1t. 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 he was one of ten senators who
voted against it on It's original passage through
the ssnats, and one of sixteen who voted
against its final passage. He also voted against
the passage of the supplement- to the enroll
meDt 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 eolored troops he was always in
opposition and was Ons OF the most determined
nj the opposition to the administration Of
Abraham Lincoln in all its measures for put
tidg down the rebellion. He was opposed TO
the amendment to the constitution abolishing
slavery, aud was one of six senator's who voted
N the negative. He was opposed to the Four
tenth amendment to the constitution, and was
one of the eleven senators who voted in the OPP
position, If there was a suggestion or move
ment calculated to embarrass Mr., Lincoln, Mr.
Hendricks was always in support OF it. IL
there an honest blow to be struck at the
enemy Mr.. II ndricks was always unable to
c ms to the help Of Mr.. Lincoln. Sometimes he
mas one excuse aud sometimes another. Sc si-
ways had an excuse. His record during the war
was detestible and unpatriotic.
Very trnlY yours,
EDWARD MCPHERSON.
