Serenade to and Speech by Ex-
Gov. Hendricks.

| "VVs hSnAos
New YORK, Oct. l0.-Ex-Gov.
Hendricks, who arrived yesterday
from Europe, was serenaded at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel tonight
by the members of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of this
city. At 5 80 the members of
the club assembled in the parlor
of the hotel, and shortly after they
were introduced to Gov. Hen
bricks, while Dodsworth's brass
band played !" Home Again and
other favorite airs.
The Ex-Governor was then
escorted by Mayor Ely and other
prominent Democrats to the bal
cony facing Madison Square.
About 500 people had assembled
il the streets facing the hotel, and
Gov. Hendricks appearance was
the signal for great cheering.
Mayor Ely introduced Mr.. Hen
bricks as Vice President elect of
the United States.
Mr.. Hendricks commenced by
saying that he was more than
pleased to return to his native
country after his visit to Europe,
and that pleasure was increased
by the cordial greetings of his
countrymen. Duing his soiourn
abroad he found DO place like the
United States. Mr.. Hendricks
next gave Il sketch Of the various
countries that he had visited.
Abiding to England, he said he
found the people there were loyal
to constitution and their country.
In France he was delighted with
many circumstances, and he could
not forget that it was the country
that acted friend to Lis own
country i'll the hour of need. He
believed that a majority Of French
men would stand by the republic,
and as for himself, his whole heart
was with Gambetta.
Mr.. Hendricks next said he
noticed that the people of Europe
carried burden which they ought
not to do; he meant their immense
standing armies, and be would
like to see the time when no stand
ing army would be required in any
country in the world. Mr.. Hen
bricks concluded by abiding to
the Eastern war, and thought that
all quarrels between nations should
be settled by arbitration.

nomination for President at the
last republican national conven-
ton, has drawn the sword and
thrown away the &c ,hborl, in a
war npon the acting President,
and in the late republican State
! Convention in the Empire State
signally defeated All attempt to
endorse the national atiniiiistra-
ton. Following this blow came
the Ohio State election last week,
resulting in an overwhelming
democratic victory.
The two great features of
Hayes Administration which lave
aroused the ire OF the radical
republicans, are his southern
policy and his civil service reform
policy. The former consists sim
ply i'll the withdrawal OF Federal
troops from interference in the
political affairs of the Southern
States, and the latter in requiring
Federal otficeholders to attend to
their official duties, and to abstain
from political party management
during their tenure of Office.
Both these policies merit com
mendation and we are glad to see
that the first, at least, has re-
ceived the emphatic approval of
every democratic State conven-
ton held since it's adoption.
We have no sympathy with
those democratic journals which
join the extreme radical press in
denouncing Hayes as traitor to
his own party, and which exult
over every manifestation of OPP
position to his southern and civil
service reform policy. 1t may be
strictly in accordance with i'm
partial justice that Mr.. Hayes
should find trouble and opposition
in his occupancy of q position
which rightfully belongs to Samuel
j. Tilelen, but as long as he en-
deavors to use his high Office for
the best interests of the people of
the entire Union, his efforts to
promote the general peace and
prosperity of the country should
be seconded by every man who
loves his country. No democratic
journal can consistently denounce
him for his practical recognition
of the doctrine OF State rights, by
Withdrawing the Federal troops
from Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, and leaving the people of
those States to regulate their own
domestic affairs; and as for his
policy Of divorcing officeholders
from actual interference in politi-
cal affairs, We have not the slight
est doubt that if the honestly
elected President, Samuel J. Til
den, had been inaugurated, and
had adopted the same policy,
there is not democratic nor in
dependent journal in the country
which would not have claimed with
pride that he had done the very
thing of all others best calculated |
to destroy political corruption, and
to insure q faithful discharge Of
duty on the part of Office holders.
The republican party has stolen
the presidency, and for this great
crime it must be punished by
complete and final overthrow and

Mr. Jefferson says error may be
tolerated while truth is left free to
combat it. How far this sentiment
applies to the free traffic in liquor
which the friends of temperance
nre left at liberty to show the in
jury which results from it, is a
query; but some of the papers,
and "a good many citizens, in as
we'll us out Of Texas, are stiil urg-
ing legal prohibition as well as
wholesome counselin the premises.
There are doubtless thousands OF
people, now passive, who would
become prohihitiopists If they had
hopes of abating the liquor traffic
by SO doing, but the magnitude
and apparent hopelessness of the
undertaking deter them from TAX
lug part in the effort. An effort is
now making to organize national
alliance on the following declara-
ton of principles Il Galveston
News.
1. That it is neither right nor
polite Tor tho State to afford legal
protection and sanction to any
traffic or system that tends to in
crease crime, to waste the national
resources, to corrupt the social
habits, and to destroy the health
and lives Of the people. 2. That
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors,
as common beverages, is inimical
to the true interests Of individuals,
and destructive to the order and
welfare OF society, and ought,
therefore, to be prohibited. 8.
That The history and results Of all
past legislation in regard to the
liquor traffic, abundantly prove
that it is impossible satisfactorily
to limit or regulate a system so.
