HENDRICKS ON THE SITUATION
SHORT POINTS WELL STATED,
Governor Hendricks, at indianapolis,
lately, delivered an address to the "Hen.
bricks Club" an organization devoted 10
his political interests, which is supposed
to get forth the issues on which he thinks
the Presidential canvass should be made.
Referring to the Republican victories OF
this year, Governor Hendricks said that
as to Maine. while Grant had carried it
by thirty thousand, this year the Repub.
lican vote was less than that of the Ma.
tional5 and Democrats. In California
the party lines were broken down by the
Chinese question, and Ohio, which was
a Republican State, had simply gone Re-
publican. The Republicans were elated
over the latter, because without Carving
Ohio they could not look for any Ma.
tional 8 lcce whatever. "Will YOU
Democrats" he said, "who never faIter.
ed, or never feared the future, be dis
couraged Seven wears ago r was the
only Democratic Governor elected in
any Nor hern Safe This State went
Republican. in 1864 by twenty seven
thousand majority. We have reduced
that msj lrity again and sgnn, until now,
with whatever hesitation may speak
of other States, understand the State
of Indiana, aid have no fears"
Gov. Hendricks charged that the Re-
nnbicans had an organ ztIiJn called the
Emigration Society, in Washing on city,
which had tor its objects the "exodns"
of negroes from the Southern States,
10 the close N rthern S aies, with the
expectation If controlling them polite
ally, They propose to introduce negroes
into Indiana in the guise Of laborers. to
change the vote of the State, aud take
the bread out of the mouths of white
workingmen bv cheaper work.
On the third term Grant movement,
Gov Hendricks said:
