Mr.. Hendrioks

In another column we publish some ex-
tracts from the speeches of the Hon. Thomas
A. Hendricks of Indiana made during the
war and some comments made upon them
by Harper's Weekly in 1876. Mr.. Hendricks,
who was then a candidate for vice president
of the United States with Samuel J. Tilden.
is, it is perhaps superfuous to say, the same
Mr.. Hendricks who is now candidate for
vice president on the ticket with Grover
Cleveland. The danger that he might be-
come Presldentif elected Vice President was
no greater in 1876 than it is in 1884, and
therefore it is just as pertinent to inquire
what manner of man he is this year as it
was eight years ago.
The extracts from his speeches show be-
yond all doubt that during the war he was a
Copperhead of the worst stripe, doing what
he could by his speeches to paralyze the arm
of the government in its efforts to put down
the Rebellion. "If Congress would take a
bundle of switches" says Mr.. Hendricks,
''and switch them all out of the White
House''-meaning Mr.. Lincoln and his Cab
inet-''it would be well for the people,"
After the war he showed no amendment.
He was Bourbon still. He had learned
nothing and forgotten nothing. We find
him in his seat in the Senate denying the
power of Congress to abolish slavery by
constitutional amendment and fayoring a
proposition that no colored man should vote
unless he were possessed of $3.50 in his own
right or in the right of his wife. Years later
we find him going over into Ohio to advo-
cate the election of Democratic candidate
for governor on a platform of reputation.
In 1876 he was attached to the sham reform
ticket of which Tilden was the head and to-
day we find him in the same relation to
Cleveland.
OF course there is nothing in his career
which any dyed-in-the-wool Democrat can
be expected to condemn. OF the Democrat
ic party he is undoubtedly much better
representative than the head of the ticket.
and Democrats can swallow the dose with
enjoyment. We're he the nominee simply of
the Democratic party there would be moth
ing incongruous about his candidacy, but on
the other hand it would be highly natural
and proper. But Mr.. Hendricks is not only
the candidate of the Democratic party; he is
the candidate also of body of Republicans
disaffected by the nomination of Mr.. Blaine,
who style themselves Independents and
clam 10 be Jaboring simply for reform. He
is the candidate of George William Curtis,
who in 1876 pronounced his association on
a ticket with Mr.. Tilden an ILLUSTRATION of
the hollow pre- ence of the Democratic cam
palgn." What has Mr.. Hendricks done in
the eight years between his first and his
present candidacy to commend him to Mr..
Curtis and bis fellow reformers? Nobody
pretends that he has done anything How
then, can these men reconcile the accep-
lance of Hendricks with their professions of
reform? Has any one of them shown 'tany
good reason why he should be selected from
forty millions Of people to be the possible
head of a government which he did his best
to destroyP''

then that 1t was not only right, but "politic
for the National Democracy to commit itself
unreservedly to revenue reduction" that
the vote on Morrison's tariff bill made a

the ''cause of revenue reform" was "Dem-

Col. McHenry, a member of the Democrat
ic National committee, says, "Mr. Barnum
was Cleveland's choice, and hence there
was no opposition to him." This ought to
put an end to the attempts of the Indepen-

was elected against the wish of Cleveland.
1t ought also to stop the cheap talk about
Cleveland being better than bis party.
