GOV. HENDRICKS ON THE IN
DIANA VICTORY.
Extract ef a COngratulatOry Speech Of
Gov. Hendricks.

But let me tell you, Gen. Fitzpatrick
did not mistske the sentiment and heart
of his party when he said to the candidate
for the Presidency, in letter addressed
to him, that if they trusted to the discus
sion of the finances of the country they
would be beaten, but if they trusted to
the use of money and to the bloody shirt
they could carry Indiana To night,
thank God and thank my fellow-coun-
trymen that in the estimate that he has
made of the people of this State he was
mistaken. They did adopt the sentiment
represented by the bloody shirt. They
did adopt the appeal to the prejudices of
one section of the country against an
other, and they did resort to the use of
money, and yet to-day the Democratic
banner tioats.in triumph in the clear sky
Immense cheering.
l am very proud that Indiana-this
great State-this State that lies midway
among the States of this Union, has said
to the people of the North, East aud
West that we will be no party to any dis
union sentiment or to any hostility to-
wards'any section. lApplause.] Occu-
pying this midway position among the
States of the Union, Indiana is true to
every section. Indiana will stand by
the East, by the North, by the South,
and by the West Indiana in sentiment
accepts the Union always, and no poll
tician can hereafter live and prosper in
this State who relies upon an appeal to
the bad sentiment Of humanity. None
except those who appeal to mans
honor, to mans patriotism, to mans love
Of every part of our glorious country.
Applause.
My fellow-citizens: The work does not
stop to night. It goes on for yet another
month. belieye we follow the leader
ship of chieftain worthy to be followed.
/ we follow man who has shown in his
past record, that he is a true reformeE.
believe that Gov, Tiiden is worthy Of
your support and of mine. There is
nothing in the history of the Democracy
Of Indiana of which I am prouder than
this fact. Gov. Tilden was not the first
choice of the Indiana Democracy for the
Presidency. Applause. But when
in national convention the Democracy oi
every section united upon him as the best
and most available candidate, then the
Indiana Democracy looked the question
squarely in the face, and they came up
together. shoulder to shoulder, step tc
step, and they have under his leadership
so far as it was felt in the State contest
they have made the most sublime, deter
mined and grand contest for the righ
that has ever been made in my opinion
in the politics of the world. Applaase.

Vulgar Words.


A distinguished author says: 81 re-
solved, when | was a child, never to use
word which I could not pronounce
before my mother without offending her"
He kept his resolution, and became a
pure mined, noble, honored gentleman.
His rule and example are worthy Of imi-
tatiOn.
Boys readily learn class of low, vul-
gar words and expressions which are
never heard in respectable circles. The
utmost care on tie part of the parents
will scarcely prevent it. OF course, we
cannot think of girls as being SO much
exposed to this peril. We cannot imag-
inc decent girl using words she would
not give utteraLce to before her father or
mother.
Such vulgarity is thought by some
boys to be Smart" the "next thing to
swearing" and yet "not so wicked" But
it is a habit which leads to profanity,
and fills the mind with evil thoughts. 1t
vulgarizes and degrades the soul, and
prepares the way for many of the gross
and fearful sins which now corrupt so
ciety.

Irish Wakes.

The Irish peasantry have an Unborn
taste for funerals. and in the amount of
honor done to the departed they lose
sight of the actual loss they have suffered.
"Och, shure, thin, it was fine berry,
ing; there was a sight of people and a
power of cars, is as great eulogium as
can be accorded any man, and will quite
console the survivors. And the reverse,
"Och, thin, he didn't leave enough as
would berry him dacent;" :" in fact, they
think far more Of how they are to be bu-
ried than Of keeping life itself. The
poorest and most improvident lays
by something for his or her own
wake, and l have myself known
cases of paupers in the hospital wards
who were accumulating under their pill
lows little store 70 save the disgrace of a
parish coffin, that being the greatest and
last misfortune that could befalI them.
Douglass .lerrold was much struck bv
this phase Of the Irish character. and Il
is he, l think, who tells an affecting
story Of a young girl whom he found in a
cabin busy at her needle. I" I see you
take in plain sewing; this il some bridal
grandeur" he said, taking up what
looked like an elaborate night-dress,
g Tis no wedding grandeur. " replied the
girl proudly. ssShure It's my own
shrowd let life bring what it may, plaze
God I'll have dacent wake"
In parts Of the North Of Ireland there
was at one time, some forty or fifty year
ago, rather romantic custom, that wher
very young unmarried woman died he
coffin should be carried by young girl
only to the graveyard. As this was stu
ated perhaps fifteen or twenty miles from
where she has lived, it followed that IA,
bearers should be changed every second
mile, and on these occasions there wa
generally an escort Of running volunteers
who in this way often did their thirt,
miles in the day. This custom was calleI
ssshifting the coffin and good man
marriages we're the result of these excu.
sions; but the idea was nevertheless
pretty and pastoral.-Dublin Unirersit

G. Wiley Wells.

From the Santa Rosa {Cal,) Democrat
One G. Wiley Wells, member of
Congress from Mississippi, has been for
some weeks past engaged in the business
of making radical harangues in Califor-
MIA, and villifYing and slandering the
people of Mississippi. That the people
of this State may know who this Hon.
G. Wiley Wells is, we give the following
letter, written to Judge Porter, of this
city, by Major Kinloch Falconer, present
Adjutant-General of Mississippi, which
we are permitted to publish =

My DEAR CART: send you, by to-day's
mail, i copy of last weeks CLARIoN, con-
taining two articles in relation to G. Wiley
Wells. The statements made in the longer
of the two articles, headed: sc. Wiley
Wells in California" are true OF NY own
KNowLEDGE.
We in Mississippi expect to be misrepre-
sented and slandered by the professional
Republican orator; but we looked for better

the political position of this willy Wells.
lie acted with the Democratic party in the
canvass OF 1875, and was elected to Congress
by Democratic votes. He now ISLANDERS the
Democracy OF Mississippi solely to be fright
on the record" with Hayes, in the event of
his election.
Wells course in California has convinced
ME of one thing: that the Republicans only
hope of success is to array the people Of the
North against those Of the South hy excit-
ing sectional prejudice, and that they have
selected their ntost lnscrupulous tools to
carry out the programme. Tire party is re-
dueed to 4 desperate strait when il has only
that to rely upon.
You know me personally, and you know
| would not misrepresent. And you know
| speak the truth when l tell you that G.
Wiley Wells speeches in California. in re-
gard to the South, are tissue of unfound-
ed malicious lies, from beginning to end
And speak the further truth. W hen / tel

bad, unsrupulous, dishonOrable man. The

Yours truly,
kTNLOcH FALcoNER.
Ard this immaculate member of Con
gress is now telling Californians hcz
they should vote; and viliifying anC
slandering the very people to whom h'
owes his present position, endeavorins
to stir up sectional feeling among oul

sent away off here in the hope that b

The fact is, that a few men at the
North know but little about our real
condition down here but l cay to you,
it the policy Of the oarpetshag party Of
the South is kept up, the negro must go
TO the wall. Men at the North seem to
forget that the colored men as a class
are without homes, penniless and unedu-
Gated, and that there are 5000, 900 of
them who sleep under the roofs of their
former owners, with all the brain power

The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1876-04-12


The municipal authorities OF THIS
city have permitted to remain for a
long time a man-trap, which, II not
looked to, may be the means OF the
death of some good citizen, and cost
taxpayers a good round sum in the
way of damages. We allude to the
UNPROTECTED sewer on the south side
of Main street, east of the market.
For distance of three hundred yards
there is a sheer fall of from three to
five feet from the sidewalk to the bot
tom of the sewer, the footway being on
n level with it, and entirely unpro-
tected by railing or otherwise. Thata
a half.dozen serious accidents have not
already occurred is to be aserlbed more
to providence on the part OF individu-
ais passing that way than to any care
on the part of the authorities Let q
pstout railing be pnt up at once.
