Show HO SPLIT. Governor Hendricks denounced the Itaragraph published in a New York piper to the eflect that Tilden and himself had split on the currency question, as wholly unfounded in every particular, adding: "Of course we differed on some immaterial points, but on the real issues of the campaign were united. It would in-dted in-dted be a atrange coincidence to find any two men in the country whose Opinions on all national questions were in harmony." Another story is published in a New York journal to the effect that Hendrick3 baa written a letter to an Indiana member of the house demanding aa a condition of his acceptance of the nomination for vice president, that the house before adjournment pas3 bills repealing the resumption act, on the ground that this action would seal tbo pledge of the St. Louis platform and bring the wholo nartv over to inflation ground or so near it that Hendricks and bin followers could profess to be satisfied. If fhey can get this concession in advance they will voto for Tilden on the grouud that be cannot stand in the way of their Bchemes, since the first important step has already been Uken. There is not likely to bo any more truth in this rumor than in that of the break between Tilden and Hendricks, Hen-dricks, The latter has nothing to do with the action of congress and would be tho last man to mako such a demand. de-mand. There is probably a majority in the house favorable to the- repeal of the resumption act as t hero are very few prominent democrats who do not regard it as an absurd and impracticable im-practicable law, nnd if a square voto can be reached in the closing hours of tho session the repeal is almost beyond question. It i believed that such action would strengthen tho democratic campaign, bringing to the support iA the ticket a sufficient num. bir of voters in the central western states to render Indiana, if not Illinois Illi-nois and Ohio, even fighting ground HtwD the two ifUsi. |
