Mr.. Hendricks ut indianapolis. BE.
low We give similar report Of the
speech made by Mr.. Tilden, from his
own door in New YorE, in response to
sereuade, aud in the presence Of
large couceurse Of bis fellow citizens:
Mr.. Tildeu made his appearance ut
the door, being escorted by Mr.. Van
Wyck, president OF The Young Meus
democratic association. AS the crowd
caught the first sight OF him roar OF
cheers aud applause went up which
continued for u long time. MIR. Au-
guslus Scheil advanced IN trout Of the
group assembled GU the trout steps.
lie SAID that Mr.. Iilden had warm
place in the hearts Of his c0untrymen.
lie had been fairly aud honestly elect
ed President by the people OF the
United States, but he had been de-
prlved OF the office by u series OF fraud,
aud by that same fraud the country
had been deprived of his services. 1t
was fraud that could not be cOndoned,
aud one which Mr., Tlldcn himself had
said could never be repeated without
disastrous results. Mr.. Schell's re-
marks were applauded, and then came
calls Tor Mr.. Iilden. Mr. Tildeu was
standing bareheaded in the middle OF
the group. He descended the steps
aud took his position on top OF large
stone supporting the lett side OF the
stoop. The crowd cheered again, and
it was long time before MIR. T'lden
could proceed. His face seemed pale
as he stood under the glare of the Gals
ciunl lights, though his health is said
to have become robust during his trip
abroad, but he spoke with unusual
warmth and vigor. the crowd frequent
ly iulerrupting with questions, all of
which he noticed and replied to. lie

public shall be completely restored aud
re-established according TO its original
ideals. Cheers. The contrast which
strikes the American eye between the
British isles aud our own country IN
the supply of food, and especially ee-
reals. ought to be the basis OF profit
able exchanges and inestimable mutual
benetactions. The wants of our Brit.
ish cousins, already enormous, will
rapidly increase. They grow, not only
with population, but by an incessant
diversion OF labor towards the mos t.
profta be enplOyments. Our means OF
supply ara boundless. We have i'm
mense areas of fertile soils-cheap-
peculiarly fitted tor the use of agricul-
tural machinery, and connected with
the centres OF foreign commerce by
great rivers, by vast inland seas and by
$4,000 miles Of railway. We have
sun in our heavens which, in the sea-
con of agricultural growth, pours down
daily floods of light and warmth. max

and variety of fruits, assuring the
wheat crop, yielding cotton in its zone,
and ripening corn everywhere, even to
the verge of the farthest north. lpre-
diet great increase in the consump-
ton of our cora bv Great Britain over
the J.0O0, 900 bushels which it reach
ed last year. 1t is the most natural
and spontaneous of our cereal products.
Our present crop oughtto be l,5O0, ,000,-
600 bushels against 300, 900, 900 BUSH
els of wheat. 1t Is but little inferior
TO wheat in nutritiye power. 1t costs
less than one halfon the seaboard, and
much less than one half on the farm.
1t can be cooked, by those who con-
sent to learn how, into many delicious
forms of human food. Why should
not the British workmen have cheaper
food? Why should not our farmers
have a great market? Why should
not our carriers have the transporta-
ton? Let us remember that CONNER
cial exchanges must have some element
of mutually. Whoever obstructs the
means of payment obs;ructs also the
facilities of sale. We must relax our
barous revenue system so as nc. un-
necessarily to retard the natural pro-
cesses Of trade. We must no lopger

tv and the bene6cence Of God
