A remark able interview with Mr. Hendricks appears in the Wabah Courier to day, which has caused much stir in political circles. The paper says at no time since Mr. Hendricks retired from his campaign in 1S76 has his health been better than it is to-day. Regarding his recent visit to New York the following conversation oc curred : "While in New York did you see Mr. Tilden?" 'My visit being merely of a busi ness nature, and time an object, I did not see Mr. Tilden." He is generally described in the newspapers as having recovered?" Yes. from all that I can hear it is reasonable to suppose that that he is in better health than he has been for years. I was talking to Senator McDonald about him this morning, and he told me there was no question of Mr. Tilden's good health." To the suggestion that the country wouhl regard the nomination of the old ticket as equivalent to a demo cratic victory, Mr. Hendricks said: 'There is, no doubt, some truth in that. Mr Tilden is one of the most remarkable citizens of the re public. Everything that he docs is complete. A work to satisfy him must be finished. His letter ot ac ceptance was a treatise of a perfect mister on the whole system of po litical economy. His letter to the last Cincinnati convention, every enemy admits, was one of the most ingenious documents that ever ema nated from man, while his friends feel that it was a strong, candid statement from the highest possible plane ot patriotism. It is wonderful lie has lived down every calumnv. Eyerv slander awakened by the pros ecutions of that fellow, Bliss, and dismissed a soon as they ceased to be of any political benefit, would add to Ins strength at this time. The whole country has watched him clos ly since he was defrauded of the presidency, and theie has been ev erything in his lite to inspire respect. He is, indeed, a grand man." Is it the liliss now prosecuting Brady and Dorsev who brought these indictments against Mi, Tilden?" 'The same fellow." I remember," saui tne reporter. cine in tne Cincinnati Jz.nauircr .1. a paragraph to this effect: "The re publicans laugh w hen the old ticket. O- Tilden and Hendricks is mention e !. There are some people who al wavs laugh when they are scared.' Did you see it?" "Yes," answered Mr. Hendricks with a s,r.He, '-I bau- that. There seems to be a strong senti ment in favor of the old ticket. Four years ago I did not realize the full force of the demand, and I real ly felt that I had been in the position of vice-president long enough, I did not ieel the absolute necessity ot taking the stcoau place. It was for that reason that I declined no: from my hostility to Mr. Tilden. On the contrary, taerc was no man in the government whose virtue I held in higher esteem To this the w riter rep a en : "I ! tation.

'Yes." answered Mr. llendr-CKs when a dutvi-- required of us, how ever distasteful, it mast oe pertormed I do not doubt that if the old ticket were renominate'! it wouui .-e tinn ed." This is a square indorsement of what was said a week ago as to the certainty that Mr. Hendricks was for the old ticket, and would accept the second place now with even more readiness than he did in 1S76. Mr. Hendricks has made his bid, and it is a loud one. It is the tender ot the olive branch to Mr. Tilden, and an acceptance in advance. It will be worth the country's while to note the response from the Indiana democra cy, which will test the assertion of the enthusiasm and unanimity tor Sir. Macdonald. With rejrard to this interview, the authenticity of which has already been questioned here, it d, 011 good authority, to have been in Mr. Heudrick's own handwriting. State Auditor Rice, who has been the secretary of the democratic central committee for years, savs. there Is a very strong pressure being brought to bear ia favor of the old ticket, and he believes ex-Governor Hendricks is a candi date. On the same authority it is said that Mr. Hendricks position on the tarilt is the correct one, but in answer to tha question what it was. Mrl Rice sadly said. "I don't know " although he insisted that it was a good position to hold. Doable Daily Line.
