lllden was beaten in Louisiana. Could
you suppose that this man was to re.
turn to Washington and become a Juror
and decide whether Tilden or HAYES
was elected, and to decide between man
and man whether Hendricks or Wheel.
er was elected Vice-President. He saws
on page 1893: 81 heard OF nothing ofthe
kind that is, Of a decision then made. J
l don't think any Of our party had heard
OF 1t Tor We left in great anxiety as 10
what the result would be-" Then a lit
tie further down he says: 1--WE went
away from the meeting, and within per.
maps three hours from that time at least
by the hrst train after that We left New.
Orleans. know that there was great
anxiety amongst us all As to what the re.
suit would be, and We had no word or
nm OF 1t until We had passed Bellair on
tuesday morning, when a dispatch was
received addressed TO some OF orr num-
per- perhaps to Senator Sherman. giving
us the first information OF the conrln.
sion OF the Returning Board" And
what do you, fair minded men that have
from time to time taken your seats upon
the Iurors:box, what do you think ofthe
man that Is to come on to Washington
to try the cause?
THE WORK Is DONE"
Being anxious in mis- mind az he
leaves New Orleans, and all the way
from that city until he reaches Bellair,
until he reaches Ohio, he is in a state of
great anxiety and then a dispatch comes
at lightning speed, "The work is DONE"
The work is DONE" and there is nc
anxiety thence on forever? The per-
jury and the forgery is committed. The
people OF the United States have been
beaten in their might and majesty, and
IN their glorious sovereignty OF the bal
lot box. They have been beaten like
the old lion that had his paws entangled
in the meshes Of the net.
The great people OF the United States
are beaten, and a part OF the work was
done in that room. and forever from
this time infamous room in the custom
house, and this is the evidence, gentle.

John G. New, you that stands high as
a citizen OF Indianapolis, this is the evil
dence that j quoted in my speech at
Marion. And | gave page and docu.
ment so full that il you wanted the
truth YOU cannot fall into error, and
here is what | said in that original
speech: "Garield's testimony COM
mences at page 1885," and here il is; YOU
can come and look for YOURSELF referring
to the book, Document 81, accom-
panying Report No. l40, House OF Rep

Congress" Is that not in detail? Why
it is more specific than the conveyaEcer
describes a piece of land in a deed or
will. 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
office and do justice to- neighbor; aye,
more than that-do justice to himself;
aye, more than thst-do justice to the
intelligence, sentiment and judgment OF
the people Of indianapolis, that he adj

He knows now where the evidence is
and will he now repeat what he said
this morning?
A little further (looks at a book; ]

to a thing you will always find it il it is
there, and we Democrats are going to
stick to this man until he is sorry that
he was ever nominated. Applause.
He may understand that there is now
encircling him a popular judgment and
a public conscience that is more terrible
than the fate that awaits the wicked.
Here is what the Journal says: I'll this

would be disgraced." Laughter. How
stands he now? How between YOU and
me between our intelligence
and your conscience and minds?

plause "Mr. Hendricks offered no
proof OF the charges in the Marion
speech, and has none since he cannot
produce any. The charge is unsupport-

and the evidence is Garfield himself.
Applause. That is harder on Garfield
than anything ! yer said. "A voice,

GARFIELD y THE ELECTORAL COMMITS.

Now, gentlemen, this man, that thus
came and conducted himself at the city
of New Orleans, and helped to prepare
the case, and helped TO get a false return
from q false and perjured Returning
Board; and he came on his way to the
North as far as Bel,aire, and was over
taken by the lightning informing him
and his Co-cOnspirators, as he sat in the
palace car, OF the decision tia, they had
procured IN the city OF New Orleans. /
know how a lawyer feels when his case
has been submitted. ! know the anX-
iety which drives sleep and quiet
away when lilo or property may de-
pend uDon the result made by the Jury.
But surely ! never expressed myself in
regard TO that anxiety, as Garfield did
when he said they left New Orleans,
very anxious about the result, and
when the result came all anxiety dis
appeared. His work was completed,
and an honest return was defeated.
He came on to Washington, and then
what do you think he did when there
was a bill proposed in Congress-the
bill that did finally pass--to appoint a
commission, composed oil five members
OF the House and five members OF the
Senate and five members Ct the SUI
preme Court TO hold a conference upon
that great issue? When that bill was
pending Garfield got up and said, no, il
mus! not be; and here are the reasons
that he gave. Let me give you, in his
own words, il | can. 1t is verv
fine print and difficult to read. Speak
ing OF the bill then pending in Congress
he savs-this was on the 2jth OF January;
he got back to Washington by the 2nd
of December, and the bill came up for
consideration in the House, whether
this commission should be appointed to
pass upon the right OF President and
Vice President, and Garfield opposing
this bill uses this language: 1T as
sumes the right OF Congress TO 90 down
into the colleges and inquire into all the
acts and facts connected with their
WORK. 1t assumes the right OF Congress
