THE CANVASS In INDIANA.
Speech by Mr. Colfa1 a, Goshen.

Speech by hr. Colfax At Goshen.
GOSHEN, IND, October 5.-An immense
mass meeting Of Republicans, estimated
at 10000 people, was held here to-day,
and was addressed by Vice President Col.
fax and Gen. Benjamin Harrison, a grand.
son OF old Tippecanoe. A good deal oil
enthusiasm was manifested.
Mr.. Coliax stated that sickness in his
family compelled him to return by the
first train. Hereferred in the opening Of
his remarks TO some pleasant incidents Of
his first Congressional canvass in Elkhart
county over twenty years ago. Those
who were his warmest friends then were
his warmest friends still. He reminded
them also Of the fact then when Indiana
was 30 closely divided four years ago, the
Republican gains in Northern Indiana
saved the State for Governor by one thou.
sand majority, but that small majority
settled the Presidential election. He
said that while he should not mingle in
the bitter debates OF this campaign, nor
attack parties nor candidates which he
could not Conscientiouly support, he cher.
ished the same devotion 10 the Republi.
can cause which they had labored for,
fought tor and voted for as in any Of the
years Of the stormy part. he was sure
the best thing possible Tor the Democrat.
iC party was TO defeat It. Sweet to them
are the uses of adversely. In 1854 their
national platform declared the war
q failure, but two years afterwards the
Democrats declared they rejoced over its
success. In 1866 they opposed the Thir-
teenth Amendment abolishing slavery and
only two years thereafter, declared they
were glad 1t was gone. In 1858 their ma.
tional platform declared all the recon-
struction measures unconstitutional, but
in 1872 their platform ratified all of them.
In 1870 they bitterly opposed the Fifteenth
Amendment, but now they declare their
allegiance to it. All this has been ac-
complished by the repeated defeats the
Republicans have given them. Now they
have progressed SO they can nominate
and support independent Republicans in
preference TO Democratic boilers. GCheers
Beat them once more, and by 1876 they
may progress 80 that they can vote
the regular Republican ticket and usher
