The Work to be Done.
That defeated, gallant son Of Indi
ana, Gen. Ben. Harrison, spoke il
Indianapolis on Saturday evening
Sept. 10th, to an immense and enthu
siastic audience. The following ex
tracts will give an idea Of the speech
My fellow citizens, while the can
vas was still on and the battle wa:
still raging, as I faced large audiences
Of my fellow citizens was led to say
Il am glad 1 am Republican" and
repeat the sentiment tonight
[Cheersl 1 feel more quietness oil

membership in that party OF great
achievements, though victory has not
perohed upon our banners in this
campaign. than pessibly could Tee
ih the camp OF the enemy. had
rather be beaten on the side OF truth
than win on the side of Ignorance
and error. There is q resurrection
for trampled truth, while only judg-
ment awaits victorious error
[Cheersl. was alittle afraid tonight
as we waited for some speakers who
were expected to be here, that our
successful Congressional candidates
might not put in an appesrance.dnl
hear that our gallant Representative
whom we have elected from this Con-
gressional district is sick For my
self, though on the list OF the beaten,
I am better to- night than when en-
tered the canvas. Cheers. And ]

triumph, AID that the American peo-
pie in this great presidential cam
paign, Notwithstanding our repulse
in this preliminary skirmish. will yet
pronounce on the side Of the Union,
on the side of truth, on the side OF
justice, on the side Of the equality of
all ment all over the land. [Cheers.]
I don't feel whipped at all. tCries
and cheers Of -good.'l Ny friends,
you know this campaign had very lit
tie involved in it to myself; I could
make the result q matter Of joke II its
results reached no further. I have
felt deep grief in the grief of hosts
Of personal friends IN the State Of In
diana whose attachment and interest
in my candidacy and warm devotion
to myself rs displayed in this cam
paign have won from me a debt Of
gratitude which / shall never be able
to repay. But far above all this, for
my party. for our good State, for the
country, I have felt--Ia do feel to-
night-deeply grieved that Indiana,
our grand old State, should have
seemed to answer to the Confederate
roll-call. [Cheers. i'qHg-f '.iou

But the battle is not lost. When
that grand old sailor, Paul Jones.
joined battle with the Serapds, and
when one Of his batteries had ex.
ploded and his enemy were pouring
broadside after broadside upon his
already apparently disabled ship. the
British commander asked: HAS your
ship struck?' The gallant old cap
tain answered through the battle
smoke: mo; haven't begun to
fight yet" And in two hours time
he towed the Scraps . prize into
port. fCheers.] So we say to the
Democracy Of Indiana to-day: ~Our
ship has not struck: we haven't be-
gen to fight yet; we mean to win
this fight and tow the Tamrnany scow
into port q prize OF war. lCheers.-
