/ Circle park, where Gov. Hendricks was intro
duced and spoke as follows: ~ take great pleas-
/ ure IN expressing to the chairman and members
/ OF the state committee my appreciation OF the
value Of their great services in this contest The
Democrats OF the state should thank them. For
myself, l take the opportunity also to ex-
press nay obligations 70 the voters Of the state Of
Indiana. In the first speech made dpriny the
contest said to the people I hoped to receive
their votes, repeated it frequently durnrg the
campaign. said it earnestly and some gentle
men thought TWAS no thing to do, Why they
should have thought so l cannot tell I think
when desired the support OF the people Of In
diana it was proper 1 should say so to them.
did say so then, and now have an opportunity
of thanking them for granting the request.
Indiana to-day is Democratic 1t is
Democratic by a good many thousand
majority. A strong, solid, earnest Democratic
state, and my fellow citizens as a result of the
controversy we have our national ticket sus-
tanned BY good majority. Cleveland and Hend-
rieks have been elected president and vice presi-
dent of the United States and have received the
vote OF Indiana. Near 10 that we have the cleo
ton Of our entire state ticket, from governor e
the close OF the ticket. We have nine congreso-
man out Of thirteen, we have both branches OF
the legislature, and that means that we have
Mr. VOORHEES, also. We have a great result in
several counties OF the state If this was nos
celebration Of our state victory, I would refer
TO the glorious victory the Democrats have
achieved in Indianapolis. OF all the blows the
Democrats have received the loss of Marion
county is the hardest to them
As a result of the national election | wish to
say to you that the value Of public securities
have already advanced. Many who do not thirk
rightly said the effect OF our victory would be to
reduce the value of United States
securities, which we see has not
been the effect of the election. Certain heresies
and mistaken opinions have prevailed. The Re
publican party has been party OF less than half
the people, claiming that they laone ought to be
allowed to execute and administer the laws
That heresy has been rebuked. A certain set
OF men is no longer to be allowed to control this
government, The doctrine OF this country is
that the rule OF the majority is to be respected,
and now the majority has caused itself 10 be I'M
derstood, and more will it be said that
one particular class of men can
arrogate TO themselves the government OF
the country. The majority will rule, and when
the balance shall turn to the Republican party,
and that party shall have majority, we shall re-
spect that expression of the peoples will Some
how the Republicans did not get as much money
as usual TO in the election in Indiana and the
result was left to the best Judgment of the peo-
pie. We the result; we covered
the whole earth. 1t has been decided
the people are capable of managing
their own elections, and from this
/ time United States marshal Is not to deputize
any secret agents to interfere with our elections
/ Shortly before the election in this city certain
I gentlemen addressed a note TO the United States
marshal. They wanted United States marshas
in this city, where for many years there had been
no disturbance at any cleo ton, and where the
marshal had been admonished there was abso-
| lutte quiet at the elections Yet these gentle
men asked the appointment Of deputy marshals
j will read the names OF the gentle
men who have become immortal
on the good name of the city OF indianapolis
/ Upon their petition the marshals were appointed,
/ how many and who we do not know They
! came into our midst secret agents to carry out
schemes unknown 10 the citizens of the commun.
! ity, but the people so bore themselves cleo
/ ton day that not single marshal dare 10 show
I his head. But they were there to rule over you,
and TO strike you down. hope to see all laws
allowing any such abuse of power
! wiped from the statute books OF q
/ free people. / want to see them return
when in effect the people will govern themselves,
/ There never has been in Indiana a canvass in
/ which there has been so much SANDER, scurility
and untruths. II has been filed with charges
not sustained by any fact. l never, so far as
was concerned, turned TO the right OF to the left
/ because of them. knew that many things that
were being said against myself about my 10y.
| atty, about my devotion to the country,
were understood by the people. We
/ have learned in this contest that truth is
stronger than lies, and the party that hereafter
reaches power will reach il by truth and not by
/ lies. The Democratic party, believe will come
! into power. IL sincerely desires reform. The
watchword Of the party in the contest, as in the
/ contest OF eight years ago with Tilden and Hen
bricks, has been reform, executive, administra-
| tive and revenue reform, honest construction Of
/ the laws and an honest administration of them
| The revenues now collected exceed the wants
of an economical administration by eighty-fve
million Because OF this the Democrats say let
/ there be a revenue reform. Let that reform CON
sist in part in reduction of taxation. Ii is not
| potent TO every man that there ought to be a re-
form here. The Democratic party this year came
/ before the country with a clear and straightfor-
ward statement of the reform they intend to &C
eomplish In the national platform they de-
clared what they would have. II was:
First-Thar taxation shall not exceed the
wants Of the government economically admin
/ istrated.
| standardization shall be for public purposes
only, and not private gain or advantage.
| Third-In the adjustment care shall be taken
/ to neither hurt labor nor harm capital.
] FOurth-TaIation shall be heaviest articles
| OF luxury and lghtest on articles OF necessity
! When az the great convention at Chicago this
/ banner was put into the hands OF Cleveland and
/ Hendricks, we took IL TO carry before
/ the people, to rise and fall with this glorious
\ banner. That banner / have carried over Indi-
ana. Wherever 1 have gone have preached
/ that the true doctrine Of the spirit of taxa
| ton, and the result has been four, five or six
thousand Democratic majority in Indiana. This
I is doctrine on the subject of taxation, and it
4 is right that the people should understand
| this question. My countrymen, 1 cannot
/ express to you under how much
and how great an obligation feel to you. did
/ not desire the nomination for vice president; it
/ became my duty to accept. Iwent as far az I
could over the state and spoke to the people
I frankly. as / have always spoken on public ques-
/ tiOns, and to you and the men, women and
| children who are at home tender my heartfelt
/ thanks on this day.
Following Mr.. Hendricks, Governor elect Gray
made short speech, in which be said: 1.-THE
time is near at hand when the Democratic party
viii have an opportunity to carry out its reforms.
The plea is put up, will we turn the Republican
office holders out. OF course we will. This has
been contest between the parties.
The Republican party, in its
/ twenty-four years lease of power
/ has filed all places with Republicans and when,
the Democratic party obtains power on the
I fourth of March next we will expect that from
/ that time as rapidly a. possible the Offices will
| be filed with Democrats. don't expect that all
I the Republican oficeholders will be turned out.
/ There NAV be some some widow women hold
/ ing second class postohices that will not be
/ disturbed, but these big fellows who have made
| money by fostering monopoles To these 1 ex-
/ pect the Democratic administration to say:
| ''Pack your grip-sack, get your Saratoga trunks
ready, you may go &c the cottage by the sea for
while. or If your health is not good you may
/ 60 10 Europe, or il you don't want to do that,
/ you may take Horace Greely's advice and 60
west. When we want you again we will send
i for you"
Other addresses were made by local speakers.
