ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
Governor Hendricks Speech

TOLEDO, o., Sept. ll.--Gov. Thomas A.
vice president, arrived in this city yester-
day morning as the guest of the Tri-State
fair association. In the evening Governor
Hendricks spoke to democratic mass meet
ing in the 5th ward, an immense audience,
numbering fully 5000, being present. The
Governor in the course OF his remarks said :
submit to you that there are certain
changes we ought to feel important and pro
per. First, there should be reform in the
revenue system Of the country. | say there
ought to be change, a modification Of the
closed 10 years ago and in 10 years this
country should have been administered up.
OH principles that govern in times of peace.
Why should we have extraordinary tax
alton twenty years after We have pass,
away from the condition of war
The republican party, under the leadership
OF the chieftains who are at its head, have
now abandoned substantially their old
hold Of my Irish friends with zeal that is
absolutely beautiful. What has the Ger
man done that he should be abandoned by
the republican party thus? How isitthat no
address to him and his patriotic devotion is
made, and it is only made to my Irish
friends? Why is this? The only fault /
know of the German is that he says when
he lived in Germany beside the Rhine he
thought he had the right to decide for him
self what he would eat and drink and
wherewithal he should be clothed The re-
puhlcans say that will not do, and it is
only day before yesterday, in the State of
Maine, that they would not trust this ques-
ton any longer to legislation, but placed it
in the irrevocable provisions Of their consti-
tuition, that henceforth and forever no man
should drink his beer in the State of Maine,
and the candidate for President of the
United States did think that it was proper
thing for him to say that he did not vote on
that question at all. What say you. my Ger.
man friends? Is prohibition right or wrong?
Gov. Hendricks recited at length the Kos
ia case, in the administration of President
Pierce, in 1854, and the insolvency case,
in 1881, when James G.. Blaine was Secreta-
ry OF State as tending to show which party
was the true friend of the foreign born citi-
z.n. Gov. Hendricks closed with an allu-
sion to the manner of his nomination, and
il strong appeal to, democrats to carry Ohio
in October, as that would decide the contest
in November

Mr.. HUBBARD, one of General Mahone'a
candidates for Congress, says "that to band
the colored people together in favor Of
what is right is no crime, and cannot be an
injury to the white people" But the
trouble is about that what is right" The
Mahoneites say that is right which every
body else knows to be wrong; and no sane
man would submit question of casnistry
to the decision of party who denounced
preacher for saying that what was morally
wrong could not be politically right. To
band the negroes together so that they
shall continue to vote against the interests
of the State and of their white neighbors-
of the very men upon whose prosperity
their own depends-is not only wrong, but
is q crime more deserving OF punishment
than some against which there are severe
penal enactments.

The Internal Machinery.

Even when we go to sleep, the compIicat-
ed apparatus of the inner man is continu.
ally at work. Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys
and all, keep at work from birth
until death. How important it is
that all these should be in perfect or
der! Let any Of them run down, or let the
blood become impoverished, and the result
is disease and decay. But Browns Iron
Bitters is the sure restorative. Witness, for

IT Is announced that Attorney General
Brewster is to take the stump for Mr..
Blaine Mr.. Brewster is one Of the federal
Office holders who approves of the unrevoked
executive order prohibiting persons in the
pay of the Government from taking an
active part in politics. But leaving that out
of the question, is openly asserted that the
Department of Justice, over which he pre-
sides especially in the South and West, is foul
with corruption, and that Mr.. Brewster is
aware that in many cases the assertions are
true. Wouldn't it better suit protested
civil service reformer to spend his time in
examining those charges, furnishing the
offenders and correcting the abuses, than in
going about the country advocating the
election of man to the Presidency who is
proved to have prostituted the high offices
he has filed to the low purpose of pecunary
gainp Most people think so, if Mr.. Brewster
does not.

A "VINDICATIoN."-T Maine election

plete vindication of the character of their
candidate.
Maine is a republican State naturally
The State has recently been "gerrymander-

The Kittery Navy Yard was loaded up with
workers pledged to vote the republican
ticket. There was open bribery and pur-
chase of votes by the republicans. The
democrats made no fight, while the republi-
cans were abnormally active. Yet the total
vote polled was one hundred and forty thou
sand, as against one hundred and thirty
eight thousand in 1882.
How many of such "vindications" will be
required to make Blaine an honest candi-

A Romance.

The daughter of G. p. MoroSini, private
secretary of Jay Gould, and partner of Jay
Gould, eloped Wednesday night with her
fathers coachman, named Ernest Schelling.
I; is said that Schelling is Il hoffman but that
his poverty forced him to come to this coun-
waiter at Delmonico's There, it is said, he
and Miss Morosini became acquainted, and
it is also stated that he obtained the siua-
ton Of coachman with her father that he
might have greater opportunity of cultivat-
ing her acquaintance. If Mr.. Morosini re-
fuses to pardon his daughter and Schelling,
it is believed she will become an opera
singer, as she possesses IN excellent voice,
and frequently expressed a desire to go on
the stage. When Miss Morosui left home
she took with her several thousand dollars
worth of diamonds and other jewelry be-
longing to her. 1t was learned that the
clipping couple were married Wednesday
night. They arrived together at the Grand
Central Depot and went direct to the resi-
dence OF Rev. Mr. Hauser, adjoining the
German Methodist Episcopal church in
East t;t.y.hHh street. As both we're of
age, he married them as they requested.
The groom signed his name John Ernest
Hulsksmpr, age 81, birthplace Germany.
The bride gave her name Victoria Agnus P.
Morosni, age "A. They asked the clergy
man what bis fee WAS, and being told 50,
gave him Sc. At their request Rev. Mr.
Hauser sent for carriage to take them to
the pier OF the Troy boats Both were very
nervous, however, aud left before the car.
riage arrived. They speot the night in the
city. What action the father will take is
unknown. It is believed that the name the
coachman signed to the register is his real
one, and that that horne by him while EN-.
ployed By Mr.. Morosini was assumed.
