.be invitation of the trade and labor
unions. He arrived at Pullman this
corning. At noon, about 5000 work
men and residents OF that suburb and
the neighboring towns OF KensingtCn
and RoseIand assembled in front OF the
hotel. and Governor Hendricks ad-
dressed them briefly from the balcony
This a teFnOOn a committee of the labor
nnions went to Pullman, and escorted
him into the city, arriving at 5.15. The
time of his arr.v was not generally
known, consequently there was no
demonstration at the depot. He en-
tered a carriage with the committee
and was driven to a hotel.
About 5000 people assembled IN Al
m0gy 3 in the evening 20 listen 10 the
Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency. The HAL was completely
filed. Gov. Hendricks was received with
marked demonstrations OF applause.
Wnen the noise subsidized and after re-
9erring to his action in Congress III be-
half of the workingmen, he took up the
auestion Of Civil Service Reform as eX-
smpli6ed in the Republican party. The
Republicans had been in power for
twenty years, and in the face OF the
vigorous prescription declared IN It's last
platform in behalf of reform IL the
civil service, what was meant by this
10 meant impaTtlahty in appointments,
fidelity IN the public service; 1t forbade
the use Of Office TO perpetuate power or
secure private gain. The Republican
party did not recognize these princi-
pies IN the recent election in Ohio
the State was Oyerrun with federal or
Ece-l0iderS, many OF them not Citi-
Lans OF the STATE; with federal
ct1cerS, who, instead OF serving the gov
eminent, were secretly plotting to
continue themselves in power. Could q
party be trusted which would conduct
Elections as they had been conducted in
Cincinnati? The people demanded non

Interference b. a bureau OF officers from
Washington 1t was the duty Of the
Governor to see the laws executed; they

tie dignity and fairness which had char

Democracy looked hopefully TO him in
The belief that he would not allow this

speaker then took UP the tariff question.
lie said that in the platform OF the
Republicans, the promise was made to
correct inequalities and excuses OF
tariff. This admitted that the present
taxation was unequal and unjust, be-
cause II levied in excess of needs. The
speaker said: Nineteen years have
elapsed since the civil war, yet
t2e republican party, cOnfesSing
ELe inequality and injustice of
- taxation at the end OF that
time, asks you To continue it in
power and promises to remedy these
evils. VIII you trust it2 Ono! No!!")
iAe Republicans were trying to make
inc people believe that the Democracy.
Il It secured power, would inaugurate
nee trade. That statement is not true
me Democratic party was not IN favor
Oh Tree trade. It had always favored
raising revenue Tor the government by
Means OF tariff. What the party did
claim, was that the amount of tariff
beng collected should be reduced.
The Democratic point was that the
tariff should be reduced TO the wants OF
Inc government economically admin
isteTed. In support of this he had the
words of no less high an authority than
President Arthur. The Republican party
was collecting S35,050,0 00 yearly above
the needs OF the government. The
points in the Democratic tariff plank
were: First, taxation must be limited to
TIE needs OF the government econOmi-
calty administered; second, taxation
must be Tor public purposes only; third.
n changing the law care must be exer-
cISeG not to injure the interests OF labor
and capital interested; fourth, In levy
ing taxes articles Of luxury must bear
the highest rate, and articles of neces-
Sily the lowest. The speaker commented
on these articles one BY one, and asked
the assent Of his audience TO them,
meeting with an enthusiastic response
IL each instance.
be next took up the navy plank in
the Republican platform and said in
demanding the strengthening Of the
navy 10 It's former force, it may be
demand OF itself. When the last Demo
crate secretary of the navy left the
once, he lett many vessels fIving the
american flag on the high seas. The
Republicans had appropriated son 000.-
700 for navy, but no navy was The re-
suit. He then reviewed the case of tba
seizure Of the Austrian Kostka and
his subsequent release on demand Cf
The Democratic secretary, Marcy, VINO
sent an American man-Of-war 10
enforce the demand. He supposed this
vas the powerful position to which the
Republican party demand restoration.

she United States. lie would appoint
secretary OF the navy who would see to
me restoration of the navy when Con-
6reSS should make the appropriation.
The speaker did not believe that the
democratic party made any mistake in
nominating Grover Cleveland. He
would not, however, press his opinion
on ms hearers, as they might think him
s'1l llal. lie would merely refer them
70 the large body OF INDEPENDENT
republicans who believed him the best

proceeded to urge the need of a change
