.t HENDRICKS ANSWERED.
In reply to a portion Governor Hen.
dricks' speech last night, Gen. Logan
said: "Nir. Hendricks last night, il he is
correctly reported in the newspapers,
stated to his audience that the Republi.
can party had been direlcct in its duty to.
wards foreigners in this land who hud
been permitted to suffer because Of u fuil-
1rc OIL the part OF the Rcpub-
llcan party to Is perform their
duty, Now | am sorry that Mr..
Hcndrlcks made that statement. For 10
years, as is well known by every reader
OF political history in this country. and I
speak Of that time because OF the fact that
The Democratic party controlled this Gov.
ernmcEt nearly ull that time, the foreign
Governments led by England announced
the doctrine that once Il citizen always n
citizen. That doctrine OF self expatriation
was not correct. The doctrine that citi-
zen did not thereby sever al
legiance from the mother country,
and II he returned to his native land there
they had control over him US n citizen OF
their own government. While the Demo.
cratic party stood in control OF this country
lot the length OF time l have mentioned,
let my friend Hendricks point to one single
statute ,that was enacted by the Democrat
party declaring thata a citizen Of the United
States should be protected whether he was
u native or foreign born, when he passes
back to his native country. u. s-
S5 wnAT!ruE inErUDLlcASyrAnry DID. J # +
Now tel you tonight that it was left for
ihe Republican party in 1SGS, aftcrtlie war
had concluded, TO pass n law, declaring
that a citizen OF this country foreign born
should be protected OIL his own mother soil
II. person and property the same us ii he
we're u native born citizen, and never was
that doctrine cnunciatcd in Il State OF this
country by the Democratic party, nor was
1t ever done until rs I said the Republi-
can party announced that doctrine. And
It was because OF the fact that persons oi
foreign birth who had taken allegiance to
this country returned to their former
homes and were impressed into the army.
Now, then, why should Gov. Hendricks
say here Inst night that the Republican
party had failed TO perform its duty to-
wards foreign born ctizens?" .s'E.3S-5
