HENDRICKS' VIEWS.
Mr. Hendricks, one of the "old ricket,"
was interviewed in Chicago on Saturday.
He said:
"The recent election in New York is
fraught with great significance. It demands
the most careful consideration
next year at the hands of the Democratic
party in the selection of a nominee. It
is evident that New York is a very close
State and swings in the balance. Nothing
should be done to jeopardize its vote.
and the man who has the greatest
strength in that State should be nominated
for President. I shall mention no
names, because I do not care to tread on
any one's toes, nor seem to advance the
political fortunes of any one. but I feel
convinced that the sound, good sense of
the party will be alive to the necessities
of the hour by the time the convention
meets. I was much surprised at the outcome
of the election in New York: quite
as much so as I was at the result in Ohio.
I looked for 60,000 majority for the
Democratic State ticket."
It would have added greatly to the interest
of the interview had Mr. Hendricks
allowed himself to "tread on somebody's corns."
Wonder if it was not a sense of delicacy
that held him back from naming Samuel J. Tilden?
