GOV. HENDRICKS.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-Intense excite
ment has prevailed all day. The streets
have been literally packed.
Gov Hendricks was serenaded tonight
by an immense crowd. with band OF mu
sic. The governor addressed the crowd as
| follows:
am not we'll enough tonight to make
a speech. The work of this campaign in
which | have taken quite part. has fati-
gued me, and have not been able to be
out to-day, but | guess [ shall get we'll
now. lCheers. l believe that the re-
suit will justify you in the expectation
which has brought you together this
evening. The dispatches are not uniform,
but it will appear that the Democratic
ticket is elected
The result in this state is very crafty
ing. | have not carefully examined the
returns, but the news of this city of to day
places the Democratic majority from r.,
600 to 1900 cheers which is very
great gain. | suppose that 10 the country
over, Gov Tiden has received the largest
popular vote ever given to a candidate.
lGreat cheers. This great popular ex-
preston is in favor of principles which we
supported aud purposes that we declared.
We have conteEded for better government,
for cheaper government and for universal
fraternity among the people of the United
States. believe that this emphatic ex
preston of public will must be heard and
needed by congress and by the executive,
of whatever party. | think | may say
; know it will be needed if our expectations
are realized in the election of Mr.. Tildcn
The claim of the Republicans to gu
ownership of the vote of soldiers has come
to an end. That was settled 10 the grea,
meeting of soldiers and citizens i1 this
city, loud applause, in which more sol
diers participated than in any other politi
cal meeting ever held in this state. They
then gave all men to know that they
; would vote as they had fought-for a re
stored Union and the rights of all sections
! By this contest, also, another proposition
j is established That the Republican party
: is not the only friend and protector OF the
colored people of the south, If We have
carried South Carolina, it is by the aid o.
d the colored vote, as was the case in Missis
{ sippi one year ago.

that it will be divided between the parties
