The Indianapolis Celebration.


ocratic state jollitication to-day was not
so large as was expected. The streets
are full of people, however, and liberal
display of decorations was made.
Between and o'clock this after
noon the meeting organized at Circle
park, where Gov. Hendricks was intro
duced and spoke as followed:
GOV. HENDEICKs' SPEECH.
| take great pleasure in expressing to
the chairman and members of the state
committees my appreciation of the value |
of their great services in this contest. |
The Democracy of the state should thank |
them. For myself, take the oppo~tu- |
nifty also to express my obligations tothe |
voters of the state of Indiana. In tho |
first speech | made during the contest
said to the people | hoped TO receive
their votes. | repeated il frequently |
and some gentlemen thought it was not |
the thing to do. Why they should have |
thought SO cannot toll. say again, |
desired the support of the people of In
diaua. Itwas my purpose that | should |
say it to them, did say |
so to them, and have !
now an opportunity Of thanking thom
for granting the request. Indiana to-
day Is Democratic. 1t is Democratic by
a good many thousands majority
strong, solid, earnest Democrats Of this
state. And, my follow-citizens, as q re-
suit Of the controversy, we have ma
tonnl ticket sustained by al
good majority. Cleveland and
lleudHcks have been elected president
aud yice-president of the United States,
aud have received the vote of Indiana.
Next TO that we have the election of the
entire state ticket, from governor TO the
close OF the ticket. We have nine con
Tessmen out of thirteen. We have
both branches Of the legislature, and
that means that we have Voorhees,, also
We have great results in several
counties OK the state, and i
this was not a celebration

the glorious victory that tho Democrats
have achieved in Indianapolis. OF all
the blows the Republicans have received
the loss Of Marion county Is the hardest
to them, AS q result OF the national
election, ! wish to say 10 you that th3
value Of public securities has already
advanced. Many who do not think
rightly said the effect Of
our victory would be to re-
duce the value of United States
securities. Such, we know, has not
been the effect of the election. Certain
heresies and mistaken opinions pre-
vailed. The Republican party has been
Il party of less than half the people,
claiming that they alone ought to he all
lowed To execute and administer the
| laws. This heresy has been
robuked. A certain set OF
men is no longer to he
allowed to control this government.
The doctrine of this country is that the
will of the majority is to be respected
and now the majority has caused IL TO
he understood, and no more will II be
said that one party or class of men can
arrogate to themselves the government
of this country. The majority will rule,
and when the balance shall turn to
the Republican party and that
party shall have a majority,
we shall respect that expression
of the peoples will. Somehow the Re-
publicans did not get as much money as
usual to use in the election in Indiana,
and the result was left TO the best judg-
ment of the people. We see the result.
We covered the whole earth. II has
been decided that the people are capa-
bio of managing their own olcc
tions, and from this time on United
States marshals will not dare
to deputize any secret agents to inter
fero with our elections. Shortly before
the election in this city certain gents
addressed note TO the United States
marshal. They wanted United States
marshals in this city. For many years
there had been no disturbance at any
election, and where Il marshal
had been admonished there was
absolute quiet at elections. These
gents asked the appointment
of deputy marshals. / win read the
names of the gents who have become
immortal, because they have thrown
