Democratic and Liberal Republican
Demonstration.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 10.-The Dem
ocratic and Liberal Republican meeting
at the Academy of Music onight was
addressed by Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks,
the Governor elect, Judge Gooding, Gen.
Mansion, ]. s. Williams, and Hon. Geo.
W. Julian.
Dir. Hendricks said the presence and
enthusiasm OF the audience aroused him;
that the work yet to be done will be done.
The contest through which we have lust
passed had many peculiar features. On
the part OF our opponents 1t was bitter,
and they used their money lavishly for
corrupt purposes In conducting the cam
paign, but against all this formidable
array he came out Of the struggle with
over 1000 majority. The work is not
ended. We must commence the work
for November. The New York election
will be followed by moro decisive vic.
tory for Greeley and Brown. The de.
teated candidates on our ticket arc still
with US. At the close Of a cam
paign like this some might ques.
tion the propriety Of alluding to my
connection with 1t, but wish to refer to
one fact. l have been Tor many years
conspicuous in the politics Of the State,
but never experienced such bitter attacks
as in the present campaign. For my
public acts | ask no cover, but private
affairs, Tor contemplate purposes, had
been brought into the question without
reference to truth. But all their attacks
added to the votes I received. There is a
sentiment Of fair play ip the minds oil the
people which induces them to defend a
man when unjustly aSsaied. A little
more effort would have elected both the
Congressman at large and tho whole
State ticket. The vote of the Republi.
cans In the election just closed was o
turn in favor of reform. He was gratifed
to express his obligations for their sup.
port, and also gratitied to know that the
Democrats stood side by side with the
Liberal Republicans in favor of reform
and good government. He regretted
that there Is single man In tho Dem.
ocratic party that received Grant
money, and in return for it struck a blow
against conciliation and an honest ad.
ministration of the laws. They will
hereafter be rejected by the Democrats
and rejected by the Republicans as unfit
10 be trusted. Indiana can be carried for
Greeley and Brown If We work vigorous
ly. There is not single man in Indiana
but knows that there Is occasion for re.
form. 1t Is said that the fight between
the boys in blue and the boys in gray Is
still going on, but l dispute it fnt0to.
The war ended seven years ago, and the
year 1879 should be year of jubilee, gen
eral rejoicing and gladness. l ask
the soldiers to make his ballot mean Just
what his bullet meant. Not to MAKE
dissolution, but that the United States be
the legitimate authority Of the country
restored, and one Republic, aud continue
! q united nation. Let the hatred which
separates the North md South pass away,
and we shall be brothers again, as in days
of old. Mr.. Hendricks In closing, said
the GRANTEES had expended ali their
money, and could not get any more to
import votes with, and with proper Or
ganization and diligence on the part ol
the Democrats and Liberal Republicans
the State can be carried ior Mr.. Greeley
by 5000 10 10000 majority.
