A Speech by Mr.. Hendricks, 60.

A democratic Slate Notification was held a
indianapolis, yesterday and was largely at
tended. Between 3 and o'clock yesterday
afternoon meeting was organized when
e1- Governor Hendricks was introduced, anG
spoke. He thanked the voters Of Indans
for their support.
''In the first speech | made during the
contest" he said, II said to the people that
hoped TO receive their votes, and repeated
it frequently during the campaign. said it
earnestly, and some gentlemen thought il
was not the thing to do. Why they should
have thought so l cannot tell. think that
when desired the support of the people Of
Indiana it was proper that should say so to
them, and now have the opportunity Of
thanking them for granting my request. In.
diana TO day is democratic ; it is democrat
ic by good many thousand majority q
strong, solid, earnest democratic State.
Cleveland and Hendricks have been elected
President and Vice.President of the United
States, and have received the vote of Indi.
ana.
LAS the result of the national election,
wish to say to you that the value of our pub
lie securities has already advanced. Many
who do not think rightly said that the effect
of our victory would be to reduce the value
Of United States securities. Such, we see,
has not been the effect of the election. Ger.
tain heresies and mistaken opinions have
prevailed. The republican party has been
party of less than half ofthe people, claim
ing that they alone ought to be allowed to
execute and administer the laws. This
heresy has been rebuked.
II did not desire the nomination for Vice.
President Several voices, "You will be Presi-
dent four years from now."] 1t became my duty
to accept it. l went as far I could over the
State and spoke to the people frankly, as l have
always spoken on public questions, and to you
and to the men and women and children who are
at home l tender my heartfelt thanks on this
day"
Following MI Hendricks, Governor-elect Gray
made short speech, in which he said: THE
time is near at hand when the democratic party
will have an opportunity to carry out its reforms.
The plea is put up will we turn republican, office
holders out? Of course we will. This has been
contest between parties. The republican party
in its twentyfour years lease of power has filled
all places with republicans and when the demo-
cratic party obtains power, the fourth of March
next, we will expect from that time as rapidly as
possible the offices will be filled with democrats,
Il don't expect that all the republican Office
holders will be turned out. There may be some
widow holding a second-class postoffce that will
not be disturbed, but these big fellows who have
made money by fostering monopoies, to these l
expect democratic administration to say: Pack
your gripsack, get your Saratoga trunks ready
you may go to q cottage by the sea for awhile
or, if your health is not good, you may 90 to Eu-
rope; or, if you don't want to do that you may
take Horace Greeley's advice and 60 West when
We need you again we will send for you"

Now THAT such al ultra and unscrupu'
lous republican newspaper. as General Ma
homes morning organ at Washington makes
the formal announcement to the negroes that
their old masters do not want and will not
have them as slaves again, and that under
President Cleveland's administration they
will not be remanded to slavery, the silly fear
of being transported to the cotton, rice and
sugar plantations of the South, excited in
the poor, ignorant, prejud.ced and easily
deceived negroes by the federal office hold
ers as the most eflectual means to induce
them to vote the republican ticket, should
be dissipated at once, that is if they be ra
tionsl creatures, OF which many who know
them best entertain strong doubts.

PARIS, Nov. 12.-The clerks in the minis
try of the interior sent deputation of their
number yesterday to M. Laguerre a mem
Der of the Chamber Of Deputies to demand
of him retraction of statements made by
him in the Chamber. In these statements

mand of the deputatioD, but utterly refused

challenge, but sent NJ. M. Rochefort and
Judet, both members Of the Chamber
of Deputies, with challenge to M.
Waldeck Rousseau, minister of the interior
in case the latter considered himself insult
ed. NJ Waldeck Rousseau declines TO take

The OFFICIAL CANVASS official
canvass Of the votes cast for Presidential
electors in the State of New York at the
recent election was begun in each county
of the State yesterday. Official returns
were made in thirty three of the sixty coun-
ties, and in several counties the canvassing
boards adjourned over until to day in order
to have clerical errors in the returns cor
rected By the inspectors of election in GER
tain districts. The changes thus far made
by the official canvassers do not affect the
general result as indicated by the unofficial
returns. In twenty out of thirty three
counties thus far heard from the official
figures stand exactly as given in the un-
official returns published on Monday and
taken from the figures of the county clerks
returns. In the ten counties in which
changes have been made Cleveland gains
seven and Blaine five, being net gain of
two for Cleveland.

SEVENTY THOUSAND men accustomed 10
work in the protected industries are no"
oilt of employment in the States Of Della
ware, PENNSYLVANIA, New York, Connectl-
cut and Massachusetts. How many IN the
other States have not yet been computed.
The existing protective tariff has been 10
operation quarter of century. Aud yet
the protectionists have the effrontery to
reiterate the glarugly apparent misstate-
ment that protection gives employment to
the laboring man. The fact that the wages
of the men who still have employment in
the protected industries are reduced almost
to the starvation point, shows too plainly
that protection does not enhance the price
of labor, though the protectionists also con
tinue to say it does.

heat supplies energy sufficient TO run all Of
the steam engines on the earth. Is the ra-
diation of the sun a constant quantity?
This is a most difficult question. The vine
and the olive flourish, as they did 1000
years ago. From geology We can gather no
certain evidence. But we must apply to
The sun these principles we have eHuncia-
ted. Some have said that the constant
rushing of meteoric bodies into the sun feed
it and keep up its heat. We can Calculate
this matter, and let us see hew much would

and crumble it up, and pour it into the sun,
it would not keep up lis heat for twelve
month. No, this cannot be. Then, is the
sun redhot body gradually cooling? No.
Then is 1T burning On, consuming itself In
such a case it would have been all burned
out by this time. Humboldt discovered the
clew TO this problem. The sun is gradually
growing smaller, four miles in a century.
As the particles grow smaller, they crowd
closer together. And here in this delicate
relation we find u solution Of this question.
