Great Qualification at Indianapolis,
Modest and Sensible Speech by Gov.
Williams.

At the immense iiollifcation meeting at
Indianapolis the other evening, Gov. Will
liams spoke as follows: =
My FELLOW CITIZENS: Ineither sought.
desired, nor expected the nomination for
the Office to which have been elected. 1t
was the free-will offering of great party,
which L appreciate in the highest degree
The people have approved and indorsed
that nomination by my election feel
thankful to them for it and will labor
to make them the only return in my pow
er, the only return which they will accept
"a faithful discharge of the duties of the
office. l have had long and important
connection with the legislative department
OF the state, and it is gratifying to me to
know that il the fierce political contest
through which we have passed. and in
which scarcely anything has escaped ex-
animation, no fault has been found with,
and not even a criticism of my legislative
record. After the close ofthat legislative SER
vice il is very gratifying tome to receive from
the hands of the people the highest elect
i've office ofthe state. While experience the
highest appreciation of the honor which
has been done me, and | would not utter
one word or sentiment in the spirit of ex
ultation, my full understanding of the re-
spoDsiblllties am to assume, as we'll as
the prophecies of this occasion, make it
improper for me to indulge in such a
speech. During the contest / have been
the object of political and personal crit
cism, yet wish to assure you | came out
IF the struggle with kind feelings toward
all, aud no personal or partisan bitterness
will embarrass me in the discharge Of the
duties Of that high office as the represen-
| tative of the whole people. Nv fellow
citizens, congratulate you upon the re-
suit in Indiana in respect to its influence
upon the national contest now pending by
both parties aud by the people ct other
states. 1t has been felt that the result in
Indiana would have great influence in ev-
cry section OF the country upon the presi
dental election, and as the national result
involves, as | believe, considerations OF
the purity OF the government, economy IN
expenditures, and the fraternal relations
between the great sections, am greatly
rejuiced that the state which has been my
home FROM my youth up has thrown her
great influence upon the side which, be-
lieve, will promote the honor of our country
and the prosperity and happiness of our
people.

says the Jews refuse to train with the Re

case. The Children Of Israel are keen
and observing people, and they see that
there car be no health, business or politi
cal, in the country. until the party which
has administered the government for its
own advantage has kept itselfin power by
the aid OF a vast army of Office holders, and
has steadily disregarded the rights and

Hendricks and tho Canvass.

Some discreet friend Of Mr.. Hendricks
John Kelly, for instance-should tell him
that he is not running for President, but
Vice President. We know that Brother Hen
bricks feels sore on this point, and that he
disdained the nomination, and that he sent us
corruscating Demosthenes, named Hanna,
to howl in Tilden's Gramercy Park
mansion, with the thermometer about seven
hundred and fifty in the shade, and the ice all
melting about the champagne in the dining
room, and everybody hungry, about the
sacrifice Hendricks made in going upon the
ticket Every day or two we see
something in the papers about Hen
bricks s'He will accept" or 'he will not
accept" HE has made up his mind" and
che has not made up his mind" He wants
to know what Tilden will say about finance.
He is anxious about Congress and the Resump-
ton act. He hurries to Saratoga and has an
interview with Uncle Sammy-the thermome-
ter eight hundred in the shade-and Dor
sheimer on guard to keep off the reporters.
One story about this interview is that Uncle
Sammy and Hendricks had it hot and
heavy-pillows, chairs, champagne glasses
and miscellaneous articles of furniture flying
around-and that but for Dorsheimer the
furniture would have been smashed. Then
comes another story that the interview was
lovely; that each candidate melted under the
gracious candor of the other; that they
agreed upon all points; and that all
Dorsheimer had to do was to see that the ice
was cracked fine and keep his weather eye
on the reporters. Now we have third
story from Hendricks himself, which con-
Tilden and himself differed on some imma-
terial points, on the real issues of the cam
paign" they were united. In addition to
this we have story of an embassy from
Hendricks to Congress asking that body to
repeal the Resumption act.
The attitude of Hendricks and his friends
in this campaign is unfortunate If
Hendricks wishes to run for the Vice Presi-
deacy let him fall into place behind his
leader and keep time The Democratic Con-
vention, by singular unanimity, chose Til
den to lead this campaign and not Hendricks.
They chose Tilden because of his loyalty,
his ability his record as reformer
and his soundness on the money question.
They did not choose Hendricks because.
as the HERALD expressed it at the time, his
nomination would have been construed by
conservative men to mean reputation in
the North and revolution in the South.
They put Hendricks on the ticket for har-
mony, not because they wanted him. and
there are many democrats now who feel that
it may prove as grave a blunder as the nomi-
nation of General Blair with Seymour eight
years ago. General Blair, it will be remem-
bered, had n policy of his own, like Hen
bricks. and took to writing letters rs to what
We should all do TO restore the Union, and
he was whipped and Seymour with him.
The democrats feel now that Blair's nomi-
nation was q grave blunder. Hendricks
seems to be following in the wake Of Blair.
The New York herald., 1876-07-21
A Petition to Congress.

It il really time for Congress to adjourn.
The thermometer in Washington is away up,
about nine hundred and fifty in the shade.
and we notice alarming symptoms in the
behavior of our own little Sunset Cox and
Townsend and some of our sable statesmen
from the Carolinas. The only man who
seems to keep his head cool is Blue Jean
Williams, which, We are told, is the result
of copious libations of iced lemonade The
second Washington feels the heat keenly, as
Mr.. Jewell and other wandering statesmen
will testify, and we would not blame him if
he were to throw down his staff and turn
the whole concern over to Ferry. Ferry is
statesman who appears the better the higher
the thermometer. But the second Washing.
ton has his cottage at Long Branch
all ready, newly painted and the
shrubbery getting on, with George
w. Childs, ex-Collector Murphy, Mr.. Hoey
and other serene and soothing influences
awaiting his coming, and Congress will not
adjourn. Moreover what good does Con-
gress do remaining in session? We can
fancy Mr.. Fish asking the question, sur.
rounded by dusty portfolios and letters
upon extradition from Lord Derby, and
thinking of his Hudson River home, opposite
West Point, where he can have the HERALD
for breakfast all the days in the week, Sun
days included. The two members of the
administration to be envied are Jewell
and Bristow. The ex-Postmaster General
can sit under his spreading oaks and
not care postage stamp whether
the fast mail trains run or'not The ex-
Secretary of the Treasury can stroll along
the Newport cliffs and see the polo games
three times week, with no grim Ulysses to
frown upon him. If the weather continues
we shall soon have no government, and
members of the Cabinet will begin to defy
the President IN order that they may be dis
missed into cooler havens. Let Congress
adjourn and save the Republic

Honors to Custer and His Men.

The proposed monument to Custer and
the brave men who died with him on the
Yellowstone must not be misunderstood. It
is not trophy Of the Indian war. 1t has
nothing to do with the Indian question. 1t
is not a personal tribute'to Custer. 1t is not
to be military monument, like that to
Frederick the Great at Berlin or to Napoleon
in the Place Vendome. 1t is a monument to
bravery, devotion and duty. 1t will cele-
brate alike the valor of Custer who
led the charge; of the faithful cor
respondent who died at his side /;
of the humble private who rode in
his retinue It will commemorate the
fact that in this decaying age, when, as the
politicians tell us, We are all going to the
bad, we have officers and men who in obe-
dience to the call of the country, do not hes
itate to pay to it the highest measure of
devotion. The question is not, were we
right or wrong with the Indians-was our
campaign good or bad-but can we afford to
overlook an achievement which for yalor,
self-denial and self-sacrifce will be remem-
bered with the charge of the Light Brigade.
We do not celebrate any war with Indians.
There is nothing in these wars to call for
mementoes. We only celebrate what was
done by American soldiers in the field.
In that memento all can join. It is a
pleasant fact about this Custer subscription
that all classes vie with each other in honor
ing our dead soldiers. Most of the subscrp-
tions are in small amounts-from the peo-
pie. This is gratifying. Ten. or twelve
wealthy citizens could club together and
build a monument to Custer or any one else
monument that would be q credit to the
city. But this is not what we want It is
our desire that the people should build this;
that it should be the expression of the
gratitude and admiration of tho humblest.

The City Children and tho Free
Baths.

While New York lies 'broiling under a
MONDAY sun" day after day, with ther-
mometer rising to the hundred, it is to be
hoped that those fortunate citizens whose
means enable them to escape from the city's
heat to the cool sea and mountain breezes
will give some thought to the poor children
who are compelled to remain shut up in the
metropolitan oven. subscriptions from our
summer absentees as well as from others
should flow in literally to promote al the
schemes devised for the health and comfort
of the children of the poor during the
cheated term" The bay and river excur-
sions, the "open air fund" the picnic asso-
cations, should one and all be well supplied
with money, for the charity that gives health
and happiness to suffering childhood must
commend itself to every Christian heart.
The city should do its part toward needed
relief by hurrying up the new free
baths, for which, we believe, an ap-
preparation has been made, and which
ought to be now in use if they are to be of
any benefit to our citizens this summer If
the city authorities intend to get these baths
ready for use when the ice is in the river the
money invested in them will yield no return
until next year. There seems to be some
thing wrong in the management of the free
baths under the present administration, and
the delay in launching the new baths shows
either incapacity or carelessness in the Pub
lie Works Department. Complaint is made
that in the female baths the swimming les
sons are neglected and the attendance is not
such as it should be. This should be rem
edied The new baths should be opened
without delay, and the attendance and man.
agement should be such as to afford full
accommodation to the public and insure
safety to the bathers. Commissioner Camp
bell should look after these matters himself
and not leave them in the hands of incom-
petent subordinates
