OPENING THE INDIANA CAMPAIGN.
The democratic campaign, in Indiana was
formally opened last evening by eX-GOv Hen
dricks in speech at Indianapolis. He said:
Need remind you that the next legislature
will choose United States Senator and that
pend upon that choice! suppose the support
of the democratic legislative ticket means
Mr.. voorhees, for Senator and the republican
ticket Gen: Harrison. They are both gentle
men Of ability, but they represent very differ
ent political opinions and purposes. In vOt-
ing directly for Senator how would your ballot
be cast? You are sincere and earnest in your
upon a legislative ticket that you know can
rot be elected, nor do you wish to hold an un.
certain position between the two parties to be
at bargained with aoeG or for. How, then, will you
bank notes should be retired and in lieu there
should ce issued by the government an equa'
amount OF Treasury notes, and that the
right to issue paper money as well as coin
the exclusive prerOgative OF the government.
He alaO believes Congress should provide for
taxation by the states of the. United States
believes the policy of Gen. Grants administra-
tion and of the present administration in con
vertlng our debt into foreign debt is unwiSe
and inexpedent, and that the true policy of
our government and the best interests of the
people would be SubServed by making it do
mestic debt, by affOrding the people the most
favorable and practical opportunities for the
investment OF their savings in the funded debt
of the United States. He believes also in the
restoration of the silver dollar with full legal
tender qualltyln the payment OF all debts, both
public and private, and that the coinage there
of should be made as free and unlimited as
that of gold. You are to be told that the sue
cess OF the democratic party means payment
for slaves and southern claims, even to the
bankruptcy OF the treasury. Can it be neceS-
sary to say that the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution fOrbids much that you are
assured We will do? The constitutional pro-
visions are that neither the United States nor
state shall assume dpht nhIi
CATION incurred in aid of inSurrectiOn or re-
belliOn against the United States, or any claim
for loss or emancipation OF any slave. Any
man who tells you that an obligation can be
assumed or paid in violation of the cOnSti.u-
tic deals falsely with you. Do you ask what 1
think OF Hayes, southern policy? He has none:
any policy; but what they have done in the
South approve. General Grant will probably
be the republican candidate, and his can
didacy will signify strong government, always
Miss MARY GUSTS LEE, daughter of Gen.
Robert E. Lee, has been having an adventure
in Italy. While stopping at the Hotel Royal
des Strangers, in Naples She accidentally
ignited the mosquito bar in her room. de-
strOyed all the curtains in the room, and came
pay for the damage. The landlord demanded
2,C0O francs for what was literally estimated
to be only worth $40. The American consul
was called in. The landlord reflected in Some
way on the character of Miss Lee, and was
Immediately bounced by Mr.. Clark, of South
Carolina. A general row followed, which was
participated in by Judge Melton. Col. John
Carolina, and DIR. l. B. Roberts, of Georgia, on
one side, and all the hotel clerks, walters and
citizens Of Naples on the other. Col. Sloan
challenged the landlord to meet him in the
garden with sword or pistol. The landlord
compromised on $40 and didn't fight.
