IND1ANAPoL1s, Sept. 3.-Ex-Gov-
ern0r Hendricks addressed an
audience of 2, 900 persons for an hour
and q half 1T Connersvllle to-day at
the fair grounds. Hendricks recep-
ton was cordial. After repeating
substantially the same speech deliv.
cred at indianapolis last Saturday,
he closed as follows:
You know I have been several
times q candidate; (cries of land
elected once" ] yes, once or twice. I
have been before the people Of Indi-
ana more frequently than I desired.
When I was elected Governor I did
not want to be q candidate. When I
was nominated Vice President before
l did not want to be candidate, but
it is not necessary to talk about that
now. lcries of ''no."] I did not
expect to b. q candidate
this time (but we wanted you.) I
tell you now want your votes the
worst in the world. daughter and
applause, and cries you will get
them. That is what I want! Some
people have said . candidate for Vice
President ought not to 60 about max
ing speeches. Well, I speak to my
equals, men who have decided opin-
ions and I want them to say when
they elect me this Fall that the act
which excluded me from the Office to
which I was elected before was an
infamous outrage. The Republicans
believe it now. Applause and cries
we know it, 1 have not found one
for q long time that was not
perfectly satisfied on that sub
ject, and they are becoming
rapidly satisfied OF another, and
that is that I am going
to be rewarded this fall. They tell
you that in New York the Irish peo.
pie are going against the Democrats
and that the laboring party is not
going for Cleveland, and all that. It
is not worth while t., disturb your
minds about that. An Irishman is
q natural Democrat. (Great ap-
plause and laughter.] + am not
speaking of tnst in fun, but I am
speaking of it in earnest. He has
breathed the breath of anxious de-
sire for better government in his
own country. When he comes here
his sympathies are for q popular gov
ernment, honestly and economically
administered, and there has, never
been q time when the rights of for
eigners had to be vim
dlcated in this country
that the Democratic party did not
stand 0y their rights. Irishmen and
Democrats stand together. When I
was defeated in my own district at
Shelbyville, it was because I would
not be Know Nothing. If had
been willing to have been q Know
and cared for Know Moth
ing votes, I would have done well
enough, but would not. l would
have felt so mean all tho balance of
my life l could not stand it.
Applause and laughter.] 1t is i'm
possible now, my fellow citizens. It
is not necessary for me to appeal to
you any further. You have known
me more or less for q good many
years. If am worthy Of the high
office the party has nominated me for,
then I appeal to you for
your support. NOW, received d
great honor in the convention that
nominated me such as very few men
It was an honor which l
felt was extended to the people of my
own State, and when they placed me
IN nomination it happened to be q
lime when 1 did not know exactly
what was going on in the c0nyen-
ion, and I was not drunk either.
Laughter. Then I could not re-
[use ard did not desire to refuse 1t;
but am candidate before you; l
lake of my nat and ask of the ladies
and Qenllelnen their support. Ap-
plause
