the frsi iniimaii0n a the conclusion OF the it-
turning Baard."
And what do you, fair-minedd
men that have from time 20 time
taken your seats in the juro' s-boX,
what DO YOU think Of the nan that
Is 20 come on TO Washington 20 try
the cause.
Being anxious in his mind as he
leaves New Orleans, aud all the
way from that city until he reaches
Bellaire, until be reaches the Ohio,
he is in state of great anxiety,
and there the dispatch comes at
lightning speed "The work is done,
and henceforth there is no anxiety.
The perjury and the forgery are
committed. The people OF the
United States have been beaten III
their might and majesty and in their
glorious sovereignty at the ballot
box. They are beaten like the
old lion that had his claws entaugl-
ed in the meshes Of the net. The
great people of the United States
are beaten, and part of the work
was done in the inner room of the
4 Custom House at New Orleans.
And this is the evidence, gentle
men. And this is the evidence,
Mr.. John C. New, you that stand
high as citizen of Indianapolis,
+ this is the evidence that ] quoted
/ in my speech at Marion. And ]
gave page and document so fully
that if you wanted the truth you
can not have fallen into error, and
here is what | said in that original
speech: "Garfield's testimony COM
mences at page 7S9," and here it is /;
you can come and look for your
selves referring to the book,
Document 81, accompanying Re-
port No. 40, House Of Represent
atives, Third Session, Forty-fifth
Congress" And is that not in de-
tail Why it is more specific than
the conveyancer's description in n
deed or will. Go and read il
for yourself. Now, tomorrow
morning, let him who wrote the
article this morning come down
upon his knees and pray Gods
pardon, and go to the journal Of
fee and do justice to his neighbor ;
aye, more than that-do Justice 20
himself; aye, more than that-do
justice to the intelligent sentiment
and judgment TO the people of In
dianapolis, that lie addresses every
morning, [Applause. He knows
now where the evidence is, and
will he repeat what be said thi.
morning. A little further; Cooks
at book ! can't find it-(here II
is); if you are after a thing YOU
will always find if it is there, aud
we Democrats are going to stick &c
this man until he is sorry that BE-
was ever nominated. Applause.
He may understand that there
is now encircling him a popu.
lar judgment and a public con.
science that is as terrible as the fate
that awaits the wicked. Here i.
what the Journal saws: "If thi.
could be substantiated, then Gar.
| field would be disgraced.' laugh.
ter How stands he now. How is il
between you and me-betweenyo YOU
intelligence and your couscienc,
and mind! Aye, more than that
How is it between you and your.
selves! Is he disgraced "Unles.
Mr.. Hendricks can spbstantiate th,
charge he is disgraced ?" ! have
accepted the issue without fear
and ] stand here in the presence
Of my ncigbbors; uproarious ap.
plause which lasted several min.

telligence. | am not disgraced
| Applause. "Mr. Hendricks Of.
fered no proof Of the charges in
the Marion speech, and has none
since he can not produce any. The
charge is unsupported by any
evidence worthy of belief ant
the evidence is Garfield himself
| Applause. That is harder OF
Garfield than anything ] ever said
Now, gentlemen, this man, thai
thus conducted himself at the cit,
Of New Orleans, and helped to pre-
pare the case-I say to you, help
ed the case-and helped to get Z
false return from a false and per.
jured Returning Board, be came
on his way North as far a,
Bellaire, and was overtaken by tn,
lightning informing him and hi,
co-conspirators as they sat in tn,

Orleans. j know how a lawyer
feels when his case has been sub

may depend upon the decision
