stration made when he en-
tered the hall, began his speech
10y saying that The election next Tues
day, IS of great importance, ON account
OF the offices to be filled, bat more es-
pecially, because of the influence IL Will
have on all the states of the November
election. lie therefore appealed to Ohio
to give all proper consideration to the
election. The election IN November vas
not only a choice oI men, but IA decision
oil a national policy. That decision
would turn, not only on the men pre-
scented, but on the policies and p%rilci-
pies they represented. he then pro
ceeded to argue that there
should be change in
the administration of the government,
and gave among other reasons TIL CON
cession in the Republican platform,
that the tariff was laid unequally, and
that more revenue was collected than
was necessary for an economical adj
ministration of the government. If these
faults were conceded by the party
which has been in power nearly 1t
quarter o. Il century, he asserted there
should be Il change so that n remed"
could be applied. IN proof of
the admission by Republicans OF
the existence of excessive revenue
he cited President Arthur's message
ton of congress TO the matter, and
suggested appropriate legislation.
The revenue law was modified,
but not sufficiently, and now the excess
of revenue above the requirements Of
an economical administration was $50
100000 annually. This sum was inn
properly kept from the business
uses Of the country, and the
government was compelled to build
expensive vaults for It's storage. He
asked if the Republican party, under
this condition OF affairs, had the right to
ask continuance in Office. Cries oi"no!'
"no!'l Four years ago he said
times were fairly good, fair prices We're
obtained for products and fair wages
for labor. Republican orators
said: "Let well enough alone" and
that short but powerful argument. Do
they say so now? When wheat is 80
cents per bushel lower than it was
then; when men are every
where seeking employment and
often finding ii at reduced wages; when
times are hard, indeed as they
are now, the argument is,
lst tlltlt Dt IL 'bdliSC lbsN
times may be better, CHEERS and :
think that argument ought to have
great weight wher the party
in power keeps calling in from
the people $Sj, 100000 more
of taxes than is necessary. Turning to
the question OF what remedy the
Democrats proposed for these Excess
sive taxations, he read the declarations
of the platform to which the
hamnpratin nnD,inElS ware nlT n frnl and
said beyond question, they met the case.
The banner of Democracy thus
inscribed, he said, was placed in
and Thomas A. Hendricks. Cheering
for several minutes interrupted the
speaker; when IL ceased he added, and
they were required To carry it before the
public, and, with it in their hands, to
either stand or fall. TCheersl. That
platform commands my approval, and
pledge fidelity to it in my official Life.
Continuing his argument for "A change
he said it might be Detter-it could not
be worse "a VOC -"You may be
counted out!') Gentlemen, said Mr..
Hendricks, there's no danger of that.
OF all the men in this country, the hon
est Republicans are the most tired of
that business.
He then, in a facetious manner, read
the demands Of the Republican platform
tor the restoration of the navy and the
destruction of polygamy, and said he,
too, wanted a navy strong enough that
no foreign power shall dare place
American citizens in the .jails of
Ireland without cause, whether
their names be McSweeney or anything
else. Referring To the German detection
in Ohio, he said Republicans are trying
TO make up for it by getting the Irish
vote. This he regarded as proof
of desperation, and doubted the Irish
voting with Republicans, for d
man, who as secretary of state,
allowed McSweeney, an American
citizen, to be in q foreign
Jail without a charge and without a
trial. After %ridiculing the position
against polygamy in the Republican
platform, he closed by an appeal
10 the freemen of Ohio to regard the
ballot as a thing too sacred for barter. If
the voters determined hat there should
be a pure ballot next Tuesday the Demo-
would win. If the ballots
were permitted to be bought and sold
they would lose. Senator Bayard fol-
lowed in a speech of considerable
after which short addresses were
made by Judge Thurman and Gen.
Itosecrans.
