CHICAGO, Oct. 22.--About 5000
people assembled in the Armory in
the evening to listen to the Demo.
cratic candidate for Vice-President.
The hall was comfortably filled.
Governor Hendricks was received
with marked demonstrations of ap-
plause. When the noise subsided
and after referring to his action in
Congress in behalf of workingmen.
he took up the question of civil
service reform as exemplified in the
Republican party. The Republicans
had been in power for twenty years
and in face of vigorous prescription
declared in its last platform in behalf
of reform of the civil service. What
was meant by this? 1t meant Impair
tiality in appointments and fidelity
in service. 1t forbade the use OF
office to perpetuate power or secure
private gain. The Republican party
did not recognize these principles.
In the recent election in Ohio the
State was overrun with federal
office holders, many of them not
citizens of the State. and with federal
officers who instead of serving the
government were secretly plotting to
continue themselves npower. Could
the party be trusted which would
conduct elections as they had Deen
conducted in Cincinnati. The
people demanded n0n-partlsan.
interference at the polls. Instead OF
this a vast number of the Republican
nartv were sent there armed. Many
of them were unfit persons for the
nositions I'D by them. The result
was riot md bloodshed. Couldn't
Ohio conduct an election to results
without the interference OF bureau
officers from Washington? 1t was
the duty of the government to see
the laws executed. They were viO'
,ated at Cincinnati, In view OF the
dignity and fairness which had CHAR

him in the belief he would not allow

The speaker then took up the tarlH
question. He said that IN the Pla.
form of the Republicans the proinlsss
was made to correct irregularities anu
ahuses of the tariff. This adml'leu;
the present tariff was unequal anu anu
