The Delphi Times says:
After the resolutions were adopted. the Presi
dent, VIM Montgomery. introduced TO the meet
ing Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks. Ii would be
useless Tor u 10 attempt - give our readers anv-
thing like a full. or accurate idea of the beauti-

speech of Mr. Hendricks. We never listened to
an ADLER view of the misguided course of any
administration than he gave OF the present ru
nous policy inaugurated by Abraham Lincoln
No speech ever delivered was better received,
