M'DoNALD's SPEECH.
FELLOW CITIZENS OF INDIANAPoLIs-On last
Tuesdaythe representatives of the Democracy
of theentire Union assembled at Cincinnati
for the purpose of publishing to the world the
principles of the Democratic party and of
selecting gtandard-bearers that are 10 lead
US in the great political contest OF 1880
Those representatives were honest men, Sc
lected from the best men in the land and they
met there simply to inquire what was best TO
be done and after thre days session in which
us far AZ IL was possible, conflicting personal
interests and personal ambitions We're recon-
ciled, they produced and announced to the
world the Democratic ticket Tor 1880,
For President, Winfield Scott Hancock, ana
for Vice President, William H. English. IGrsat
applause 1t would have better pleased us if
they had honored our distinguished Chair
man, who sits here, with the place that prop
erly belongs to him-at the head of the ticket
Mont but IT was ,hn no fault OF any In
that high honor. Discussions Ia other Sec
tions OF the country that were held up as per-
duced hundreds who were his friends 10 turn
their faces to other candidates, and finally the
instinct of that immense Convention selected
and let me- say to our you feo%
citizens, that one fact that contributed more
than any other to his selection was, that when
in New Orleans, placed there as a military die
tator over those people, he issued orders en-
bracing the principles of civil liberty which
your Chairman has read in your hearing.
These orders went forth as seed sown
in good ground, years afterwaId
gratitude the liberty he had extended to them
On that occasion. Our adversaries say that
we have selected mere military chiehain,
and they have put before the country a man
country. now, fellow citizens, /
detraction against General Garfield never
advance my standard by detrscting from my
adversary applsusel, but l stand here to-day
to say that General Garfields record as a civil
ian and a statesman furnishes no illustration
OF sound statesmanship that can be compared
with the short order that General Hancock
from his place in New Orleans. There is more
statesmanship in that than is TO be found in
the whole lie of Garfield, because it an
nounces to the people of this country the
great principle that governs and contfols this
great Nation f1n ana that Is shst the military is
to the civil authority, and the
military man who understands that
principle and theory of our Government, L
care not how much ne may have been a mill
tary man, he still has the true principles of
Democracy sufficient to administer the affairs
of Government like ours, and the selection
made at Cincinnati last week we are not only
ratifying now, but Indiana will ratify IL by an
overwhelming majority at the October elec-
tion.
Fellow citizens, the hour has come when this
Republican party must be defeated, and
and found wanting. The handwriting is upon
the wall, and this early you are joining your
wtS the same knS of Shouts tnaf ap
going up from all over this land.
The Democratic thunder is reverberating
cratic lightning is fissnfng ali around. and the
| Republican party know their hour has come.
lApplause.l As citizen Of this great State of
TO on nhs sgfS he
can party TO break and TO scatter it like cnaff
| before the wind, has been intruSted to the
Democracy of Indiana. In October we will
lead the charge upon the enemy's center, and,
like my namesake under the great Napoleon,
| who lead the charge at Margrun, the Democracy
of Indiana will lead 1t ia this great contest.
Don't you all begin to feel how good it will
/ be when we have triumphed over our
| enemies? and we will take precious good care
OF them. After we have done 1t we will not
oppress them, and we will give to them the
same principles or civil liberty that we claim
for ourselves. But it will be high qualification
| for the Indiana Democracy To lead IN the
Sank and compelins Ing retreas
/ We are bringing up on more mat old ship OF
