Mr. Hendricks and the "Fraud ISSUE
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-Mr. Hen
bricks opened his campaign to-day at
Marion, Grant county. In regard Il
Garfield's nomination, Mr.. Hendricks
SulS IL IuGHllS INC lHuOESenlCul anu dI)-
proval, in the most positive and often
sive manner possible of the presidential
fraud of 1876 and 1877. He had more
to do with 1t than any other man, and
was the only man who occupied double
relation After the election Garfield
went TO New Orleans, by the request of
Gen. Grant, without the authority OF
law, as a partisan; he went there to as
sist his party in making up a case, and
after his return to Washington, of all
his associates he was the only man who
| took his seat upon the electoral commits
sion. By every sentiment of fair play
he should have been excluded from the
| jury box by his own sworn statement of
| what he did in New Orleans. Garfield
had charge OF the returns from West Fe-
| liciana parish. In one of the inner
rooms of Packard's custom house he did
his work, examined affidavitS, and when
they were not sufficiently full he pre-
pared, or had prepared, additional inter
rogatiOns to bring it within the rules
adopted by the returning board. The
testimony so revised by Garfield went
back to the returning board, and the re-
suit was that West Feliciana, with its
democratic majority, was thrown out. In
Washington, Garfeld's vote was that
congress could not go behind the re-
| turns thus made. AS agent for his par
ty, he helped TO make the returns by
manipulating evidence, and as juryman
for the nation, he held such evidence
conclusive and binding. In respect to
the action of congress upon this ques-
| ton, | have always thought and said
that wrongs done to individuals were
swallowed up and lost in the greater
wrongs and outrage upon the people and
their institutions; but in respect to
James A. Garfield, other considerations
arise. He accepted (perhaps sought a
place upon the tribunal that was to de-
eide not only the questions of public
right, but also the claims of individuals
to great offices. He did that when he
had formed a purpose to decide against
those whose claim was suppressed by
the preponderance of the vote. He was
disqualified by his formed and avowed
purpose, and also by his participation in
the preparatory work; for that l chal-
lenge him before the bar of public opin-
ion, and l do this in the name of public
and private right, in the name of JUS
tice, of fair play and universal laws. l
think the great body of people now
think and know that the incumbents of
the Offices of president and vice presi-
dent were not elected, but that they
were inaugurated without right. Are
any of you willing to endorse the great
Gen. Garfield did right? Shall it be
made an honOred precedent or a con-
demned crime?
Mr. Hendricks arraigns the admins
tration for putting in place full one hun.
dred persons connected with this great
crime whose salaries amount to a quar-
ter of million of dollars per year-the
price the American people are compelled
to pay for the contamination of the
| fraud in A rnoriaaT Iicfnrrr
After an elaborate discussion of con-
stitutiOnal questions, as to the rights of
states against the doctrine of federalism,
Mr.. Hendricks spoke of Gen. Hancock,
styling him warrior of great distinc-
ton, whose nomination means restOra-
tion of fraternity, and whose election
and successful administration will COM
plete a personal record of the greatest
and rarest interest. In war he overcame
| physical resistance and compelled re-
cognition of public authority; in peace
| he will overcome the malignant in
| fluences that distract and divide, and
will place the sections in absolute har-
mony with the constitution and the laws
! On his shield will then be inscribed:
''Peacc has her victories no less rcnown-
ed than war" He then pays him the
highest homage for the rare qualities he
| displayed as a civil ruler at New Or
| leans closing with the statement that as a
candidate, / am sure he is highly ac-
ceptable TO the Democrats of Indiana,
and l am confident he will carry the
| state.
Turf Triumphs.
| ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Aug. 13.-The
greatest days sport in the history of the
Rochester driving park, occurred to day.
The announcement that Maud S. and ST.
Julien would each be trotted, the former
| TO beat his own best trotting record of
2,123 and the latter to beat this. and
Sleepy Toms best pacing record of2 :12 a
was enough to attract multitude Of
| spectators, who went in throngs to the
track. There were 1900 people present
to witness the grand event of the
day.
| St. Julien, the California wonder and
| king of the turf was first brought out.
He went down past the judges stand sew
eral times before Hickok nodded to the
judges To give the word. Then he darted
around the track, without mate or any
thing else than his driver to urge him,
making his first quarter in 80, the half
mile in :07, three quarters IN l Al and
the mile in 2:13A, the fastest trotting
ever done upon the Rochester track.
1t was forty minutes late when Barr of
Cincinnati, drove out his 6-year old mare
Maud s., deafening cheers greeting both.
Barr nodded to the judges, and Maud
was given a send-off the first time she
came down the stretch. The track and
everything was in her favor no less than
st. Julien. She sped away magnificently,
and the involuntary EXPLANATIONS of
many thousand witnesses was "Beauti-
full" She completed her first quarter in
3211S, second in :05, third in 1 :3S1 d, and
a mile in 2:1124, an entire second lower
than the best trotting time on record,
and half second better than the best
PAGER ever went. The widest enthusi-
asm followed the performance. Every
body knew that the best time on record
had been made before the timekeepers
had made their announcement or were
consulted.
St. Julien was brought out for his sec
ond heat. There was less enthusiasm
than before, but he got away in fine
shape and trotted to the end of his first
quarter in 3134 second, in 1 :042 third,
in :3S34 and the mile in 2:11 A-pre-
clsely the same time made by Maud in
the first heat.
Maud S. was trotted again, however
but she only made her second mile in
:2024, and was excused from the third
heat. st. Julien trotted the third heat in
the ordinary time of 2 :241z.
Handsome testimonials were pre-.

the greatest trotting event the world has
