CHICAGO, Oct. 22,-Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks spoke here tonight on the
invitation of the trade and labor unions.
He arrived at Pullman this morning.
At noon about 5000 workmen and resi-
dents Of that suburb and the nelghhor-
ing towns Of Kensington and Roseland
assembled in front of the hotel aud GOV.
Hendricks addressed them briefly from
the balcony. This afternoon a COM
mittee Of tho labor unions went to
Pullman and escorted him into the city,
arriving at $40. Tho time of his arrival
was not generally known, consequently
there was no demonstration at the de- !
pot. With the committee he was driven |
to the hotel.
About 5000 people assembled in the
armory of Battery D in the evening to
listen to the Democratic candidate for
vice-president. The hall was completely |
| filed. Hendricks was received with |
marked demon trations of applause. |
When the noise subsidized, and after re-
| terring to his action in congress in be- |
half of the workingmen, he took up
the question OF civil service reform,
as eHemplitied in the Republican party. |
! The Republicans had been in power for
| twenty years, aud in the face of the Wig
orOus prescriptions declared in It's last
platform i'm behalf of reform i'm the
| civil service what was meant by this
II meant impartiality in appointments
and fidelity in service. IL forbade If
office TO perpetuate power, or to secure
private gain. The Republican party did
not recognize these princi-
pies. In the recent election
in Ohio the state was over-run
with federal uiliceholders, many of them
not citizens Of the state; with federal
officers who, instead ot serving the gov
ernmout, were secretly plotting 10 con
tinue themselves in power. Could a
party be trusted which would
conduct elections rs they had
been conducted in Cincinnati?
The people demanded non partisans AT
the polls. Instead OF that . vast number
Of Republicans were sent there armed,
many of them unfit persons for tho posi-
tiOns held 10y them. The result was riot
and bloodshed. Could not Ohio con-
duct an election to the right result
without the Interference of bureau off
cers from Washington? twas the duty
of the government to see the laws
executed. They were violated at
Cincinnati. In Wow of the dig
nifty and fairness which had
characterized the present admimstrs-
lion, Democracy looked hopelulF to
him in the belief that he would not al
low this wrong repeated Iapplausel. He
then took up the tariff question.
lie said that in the platform
Of the Republicans the promise
was made 10 correct the inequalities OF
the tariff. This admitted that present
taxation was Unequal and
unjust because 1t levied in
excess of needs. The speaker
said: "Niuetecn years have elapsed
