"Keynote."
INDIANAPOLIS, October 29.-Mr. Hen
bricks attempted to make the greatest
effort OF his life in his speech to the
Hendricks Club tonight. He spoke at
length and carefully throughout the
speech, on all political questions, and it is
accepted by the Democracy as "the key
note" He discussed the southern ques.
ton and asked the north what they were
going TO do about the southern brigadiers.
So long as the people in the south voted
Tor them it could not be helped, and there
was no use in crying over what couldn't
be helped. The man who talked Of the
solid north and the solid south, talked Of
what was reasonable. The good times
were not to be attributed to the Republi.
can party, but they would have come
sooner had the Republicans been as
economical as the Democracy had been
since they have had control OF Congress,
The Republicans had made the issue
one OF military at the polls, and he had
accepted it. President Hayes vetoes were
denounced as the acts OF man who had
not been elected, but had sneaked into
office. lie himself had been elected to
the Vice Presidency, an office he did not
care for. but the army OF 100000 OF men
who had voted for him he felt proud OF.
DE had received more votes Tor that Office
than any other man, and 1t would never
be again within history that the man not
elected to the Office would be einaugurated.
He elaborated on the negro exodus, and
said 1t had been worked up by organiza.
tion directed from the North, and there
was now a scheme to carry Indiana by
flooding the State with ignorant colored
men to the exclusion Of honest white
labor. He was very severe in his denun.
citation Of this, and worked his hearers up
to pitch Of great anger.
The meeting was very enthusiastic, and
Mr.. Hendricks was warmly congratulate
ed. The speech will be issued by the
Democratic Committee as campaign doc,
ument.

prove more detrimental to the interests Of

OF the system Of slavery. The final steps
IN the matter will be taken in December.

Carlos, are said to be secretly organizing

the case before the French authorities,

THE article from the Bellaire Tribune in
to.day's paper, advocating the building OF
road from that point down the Ohio
shore to Marietta, is worthy Of attention Of
thepeople OF this city and OF this side the
river along the West Virginia shore. 1t is
the second newspaper demonstration that
We have published from the Ohio side in
favor OF such road, and is all the more
important because It Is well known that
there is public sentiment at the back Of
the proposed project Bellatre has mar
row gauge already built six miles down
the shore, and it would only need about
70 miles Of road to connect her with
Marietta, whereas we need 04 miles to
connect US with Parkersburg, or 90 miles
in case the P, W. 4 Ky. is extended to
Benwood and permits the laying OF a third
rail wherewith to utilize It's track.
We submit that 1t is full time the people
along the West Virginia shore gave this
matter of a railroad their serious attention.
They have certainly long experienced the
need OF such means Of overcoming the
disabilities laid upon them by the condi-
ton OF the river in summer and winter.
There is no need Of argument 10 convince
them OF the necessity for such a road.
Why then not start movement all along
the shore between this city and Parkers-
burg, in favor OF commencing operations
as SOON as possible. There is money in
the project for the stockholders and the
general public. 1t has been estimated
that the actual running expenses Of the
boats that ply in the trade between here
aud Parkersburg and intermediate
points, not counting the Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati bosts, but only
those between Wheeling and Par
kersburg, are 500 per day. This is
their actual expense, and over and above
this they must make their profits. The
running expenses Of marrow gauge rail.
road between Wheeling aud Parkersburg
would certainly not exceed half Of this
amount, and hence It Is easy to see that
there Is q handsome amount OF profit in
the enterprise, saying nothing Of the great
indirect benefit that must result to the
people OF the shore counties and to the
trade Of this city.
