cfatic STATE loIlflcation was b.ld here 20.
DAY and was largely attended. Bet
aud O'Clock this afternoon meeting
WIS organized at Circle PARK. where Ex-
Governor Hendricks was introduced and
spoke ~ follows:
81 take great pleasure in expressing to
the chairman and members OF TIE Demo-
cratic stale Committee nv appreciation OF
Tue value OF Their great services in this
contest. lhe democracy Of the State should
thsnk thehl. For myself, take this op-
p+rtub'ty Also 10 express my obligations to
lilc voters OF The state Of Indiana. In the
bist spetch l made during the contest |
said 70 the people that hoped TO
receive lDcir votes. aud | repeated
frequently during the camptign. |
said II earnestly, aud some gentle men
thought u was not The thing to do. Why
lhey should have thought so | cannot tell.
thins that when desired the support OF
The people OF Indiana Il was Dropcr that |
should say so TO them and now have an
opportunity Of thanking them for granting
my request. Indiana to-day Is Democratic;
1t Is Democratic by good many thou
sand mai0rity-a strong, solid. earnest.
Democratic state: and, my fellow -citizens.
rs the result Of the late controversy we
have our national ticket sustained by a
good majority. Cleveland and Hendricks
have Ocen elected President and Vice
President OF the United States, and have
received the vote OF Indiana. Next 10 that
we hsYe the election OF our entire state
ticket from the Governor Ia the
close OF the ticket. We have nine
congressman out OF thirteen; we have
both branches Of the Legislature, and that
means that we have Mr.. Voorhees, also.
We have great result in several counties
OF the State, and II this was not cclcbra-
ton OF State victory, would refer TO the
glorious victory that the Democrats have
achieved IN indianapolis. OF all the
blows that the Republicans have re-
ceived the Icss OF Marion county
is the hardest TO ther.. A. result Of The
Rational election, wish 10 say TO You that
the value OF our public securitc, have al
ready advanced. Many who do not think
rightly. said that the effect Of our victory
would be 30 reduce the value Of United
States securities. Suc, we see has not
been the effect OF the election. Certain here
sizes and mistaken opinions have prevailed.
The Republican party has been party OF
les than h1lf the people Of this country,
claiming that they alone ought 10 be al
lowed to execute and administer the laws.
This hcreSy has been rcbuked. A certain
set OF men i 10 longer 10 he allowed to
control this Government. The doctrine
Of this country il that the ruic OF the ma
jority Is TO be respected; and now the
majority has caused itself 10 be under
stood, and no more will il be said that one
particular class Of men can arrJglie to
themselves the government OF the country.
Tie majority will rule. and when the bal.
ance shall turn 10 the Republican party
and that party shall have the majority. We
shall respect that expression OF the PEG.
pies will. Somehow Republicans did not
Get az much money as usual 10 use
for the election in Indiana, and the result
was left to the best judgment OF the p.o-
pie. We see the result; we covered the
whole earth. II has been decided that the
people are capable Of managing their own
election, and from tins time on the United
States marshal is not to dcputiZe any secret
agents 10 interfere with O!Ir elections. Short
ly before the election in this city certain
gentlemen addressed note 10 the United
States marshal. They wanted United States
marshsls in this city. For many years
there had been no disturbance at any cleo
ton. and where the marshas had been adj
monishcd there was absolute quiet at cleo
tons. Yet these gentlemen asked for
the appointment 81 deputy marshals. |
will not read the names OF the gen
t!emen who have become immortal
because they have thrown reproach
on the good name OF the city OF
Indianapolis. United States marshals were
appointed; how many and who we do not
know. They came in our midst ~ secret
agents 10 carry out schemes unknown TO
the citizens OF the community: but the
people so bore themselves on election-day
that not Sirg.e marshal dared TO
show his head. But they were there to
rule over you and 70 strike YOU down. /
hore 20 see all the laws allowing any such
abuse Of power wiped from the statute
books Of free people. | want 10 see the
time return when in effect the people will
govern themselves. There never has been
in Indiana canvass in which there has been
so much SANDER, scurritity, and untruth. II
has been filed with charges not sustained
by any facts. never, so far as | was con-
ceped, turned to the right or to the left
because OF them. | knew that many
things that were being said against
nv loyalty, about my
devotion TO the country-were un-
derstJOd by the people. We have
learned in this contest that truth is stronger
than lies. and the party that hereafter
reaches power will reach IT by truth and
not by lies. The Democratic party, be-
licve, will come into power. II sincerely
desires reform. The watchword OF the
party in this contest, n in the contest
Of eighty years ago, has been re-
administrative. and reyc-
nue. refoTm-an honest construction of
the laws and IN honest administration
Of them. The revenue now collected e.
cpeGS the wants Of economical administrl-
ton by ass. 100000. Because OF this. Dem
ocrats. let there be revenue reform; let
that reform consist In part in re-
luciiOn Of taxation. l. il not patent
10 every man that there ought 10
be reform here: 1he Democratic party
tbs wear came before the country with a
clear and straightforward statement OF the
reform they intended TO accomplish. In
he national platform they declared what
reform ihey would have. II WIS
irst. that taxation shall not exceed the
wants OF the Government economically adj.
second, that taxation shall be
or public purposes alone and not for p-l- |
rate gains or advantage; third, that in the
adjustment care shalt be taken 10 /
neither hurt labor nor harm capital: !
nd fourth. that taxation shall be |
leavleSt on articles OF luxury and !
ighteSt on articles OF necessity. When !
