TILDE AXIrtiESDRICKS.
It is interesting to watch the drift of,
sentiment and to note the various con-
the next Democratic ucsei, aim
es-
necially so with reference to the Messrs.,!
Tilden and Hendricks. Yesterday we
copied a striking article from thej .Lou
isville Courier-Journal, on the subject.
The New York Express takes ; issue
with the Louisville Courier-Journal
with regard to the propriety of renomi
nating Tilden for the presidency with
Hendricks as Vice-President -The Ex
press says of the use made of the name
of Gov. Hendricks in the last canvass:
It is with the greatest '"difficulty that
ho was prevailed upon by his friends
nnrsnnal
senting to serve as the second marr.
After his nomination, through all the
campaign in which he had a profound
personal interest, in the protracted and
intensely exciting contest which fol
lowed the election, he was . virtually ig
nored by Tilden and Tilden's confed
erates, treated as tliough he had : no
part or lot inthe matter, neglected and
pushed aside as though he were a no
body. His name was hardly ever men
tioned by Tilden and his understrap
pers. He was left out in the cold by
the wily and selfish maneuverer who
had managed to get himself at the
head of the ticket, before he was count
ed out by the electoral commission,
about which he was not consulted. Mr.
Hendricks has at least ordinary iself-.
respect. He will be likely to think
twice before he consents to act as sec-,
ond man on any ticket headed by Sam
uel J. Tilden. Other things being equal,
the next candidate of the Democracy
should a Western man; Between
Senator!! iXhurman and ex-Goy. Hen
dricks it wbuld be verj hard indeed to
choosf. Bat Hendricks - has jfone
claim to the nomination which Mr.
Thurman cannot urge, in the fact that
for the sake of the party and to
strengthen a weak ticket he consented
to take the second place when fairly
entitled to the first place in 1876, and
was counted out of the Vice-Presiden
cy, to which he was fairly elected.' If
ho is drafted into the service again it
must not be as the second man.
The Indianapolis. Sentinel, published
at the home of Gov. Hendricks, and
supposed to reprjesentf-the views of the
Indiana Democracy, if not of Gov.
Hendricks-himself, repruita in leaded
matter and adopts the above; utterance
from the Xlxprats, kn$ 'add.l -
The views expressed ' by our New
York contenr&orary are 'manifestly in
harmony with the sentiments of the
great body of the people South and
West, and it is not too much to say
that in the East Mr. Hendricks would
command a larger Democratic vote
than anv other name mentioned in con
nection "with the first place on the tick
et. At any rate it is well enough to
state that "the Couri-er-Journal ticket
whic h places Mr. Hendricks second, is
not indorsed by the Democracy any
where. -Lyncii Law" xot ".axctioxed."
We are surmised to sev ascribed to
The Observer, by the Asheville Jour
nal, a paper usually so just to its politi
cal adversaries, sentiments which this
paper not only never expressed but
never entertained. After remarking
upon the fact (one by tbe way, which
we had overlooked) that numbers of
North Carolina newspapers have re
cently sanctioned lynch law as a meth
od of expediting the cause of justice, it
severely citicisesTHE Observer, which
it does us the compliment to say "is
quoted from more than any .other ten
papers in the South," for approving of
this method of the dispensation of jus
tice. It bases its comments upon our
recent editorial upon the Secrest case,
nothing in which. can, by. any proper
construction, made to convey the
idea which the Journal associates with
it. Oiir mountain contemporary, how
ever, does us the justice to copy the
paragraph .upon which it bases its stric
tures, and our cause . for. complaint
against it is by this much diminished.

of the Bed 8ea, and the waters were found
to be rising, that gallant commander checked bis
own prancing steed and ordered hte officers to ra
diate in search of the shallow waters. The one
that found himself tai swlnuntog water was as
much in his line of duty as he who found the high
est shoal, but It was to the position of the latter
that all soon flocked for protection from the swell-
Ing tide. So, when the municipal year is drawing
to a close and the efficient Mayor is looking around
for a worthy eltlzen to wear his mantle, he certain
ly expects the members of the mercantile fraterni
ty to be vigilant in selecting a good stock of

So that every family can be supplied without pay
ing exorbitant prices; wherefore.

It is an excellent corrective of indigestion. Have
used it with prompt beneficial results.
Rev. Dr. Mangnm, Prof. University of N. C.
I concur with Bishop Doggett in his estimate of
the Vest Pocket Cure.
" Rev. E. A Yates, P. E. N. C. Conference.
It has benefitted me. Send another package.
Rev. Leroy M. Lee, D. D., Meth. Hist'n.
I am never without it at home or abroad. It is
an antidote to Indigestion. Uneasiness after a
meal or purging is checked and the bowels regula
ted. Its merits are attested by numbers of high
character. I have seen a "tried-everything" dys
peptic of fifteen years relieved by one dose.
Rev. Dra.' Jeter, Broaddus, Dickmson (Bap.)
It Is endorsed by the direct personal testimony
of men of national fame and of strictness ef
speech. It is not too much to say that no medicine
ever had such support in its favor as a specific.
The word of any one of the eminent divines who
underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia has deserved
weight. Their united witness Joined with the ex
perimental use and approval of the preparation by
well-known physicians, removes all doubt. It is,
beyond question, a wonderful therapeutical agent.
Editors Religious Herald, Va.
Rev. R. L. Dabney, LL. D., Ham. Sid. Col., Va.
It is highly esteemed here by the regular Medi
cal Faculty and the people. It Is excellent for in
digestion and flatulent colic sedative, soporific,
tonic, slightly aperient, without nausea.
