Speech of Thos. A. Hendricks.


the Academy of Music tonight was ad-
dressed by MIR. Hendricks, Governor elect,
Judge Gooding, Gen. Manson, Hon. J. S.
Williams and Hon. Geo. w. Julian.
Mr.. Hendricks said that the presence
and enthusiasm of the audience assured
him that the work yet to be done will be
well done. The contest through which we
have just passed had many peculiar fea-
lures. On the part Of our opponents it
was bitter and INSCRIPTIONS, and they
used their money lavishly for corrupt pur-
poses in conducting the campaign, but
against all this formidable array we came
out of the struggle with over
one thousand majority. The work is not
ended-we must commence the work for
November. The New York election will
be followed by more decisive victory for
Greeley and Brown. The defeated candi-
dates on our ticket are still with us. At
The close of campaign like this some
might question the propriety of abiding to
my connection with it, but l wish 10 refer
toone fact: have been for many years
conspicuous in the politics of the State, but
never experienced such bitter attacks as in
the present campaign. For my public acts
l ask no cover, but private affairs,
for contemplate purposes, had been
brought into question without reference
to truth. But all their attacks added to
the votes l received. There is sentiment
OF fair play and justice in the minds of the
people which induce them to defend man
when uDjustly assailed. A little more eff
fort would have elected both the Congress
men at large and the whole State ticket
The vote of the Liberal Republicans in the
election just closed was true one, In favor
of reform. He was gratiied to express
his obligations for their support, and also
gratified 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 a single man in
the Democratic party that received Grant
money and ia return for it struck
blow against Cancellation and
the honest administration of the
laws. They will hereafter be rejected ;by
the Democrats and neglected by the Repub-
licans as unfit to be trusted. Indiana can
be carried for Greeley and Brown, if
We work vigorously. There is not a sim
gle man in Indiana but knows that there
is occasion for reform. 1t is said that the
fight between the boys in blue and the
boys in grey is still going on, but dispute
it in toto. The war ended seven years ago.
1872 should be
A Year of Jubilee,
general rejoicing and gladness. l ask the
soldier to make his ballot mean just what
bis bullet meant, not to make desolation,
but that the legitimate authority of the
country might be restored, and our repub-
lie continue united nation. Let the ha.
tired which separates the North and South
pass away, and we shall be brothers again as
in the days of old.
Mr.. Hendricks in closing said that the
GRANTEES had expended all their money and
could not get any more to import votes
with, and with proper organization and
diligence on the part of the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans the State can be
carried for Mr.. Greeley by five to ten
thousand majority.
