Hendricks addressed 5000 people u
Mnncie to-day. In the conrse Of his
speech he said; 1T Is now twenty five
years that ths Rspnblisen party have
controlled the aduhlnistxative and execu.
tive affairs Of this country. aud Il Is ol
the fisst Importance that you and
should consider the question whether
that is as long as one set Of men ought
to continue in absolute control. In
other words, the question is before us:
Ought not there be change !
l ask your attention only to
the la9 nino years during which that
party q controlled. cannot find fig
urts or lrds TO express to you the enorm-
Gus sum bf money that have been COL
lected and the enormous sums that have
been paid out. l will refer by way of
illustration only, to one year, the last
year As reported by the Seere-
tart the Treasury the collections
And> Expenditures amounted to
$685.. 600. 600. The history Of those
transactions is found in many thousand
volumes and they were scorded by
many thousands Of men. lieu belong
Ing 10 one party only. No Democrats
have been allowed to participate in any
Of the affairs Of the country. speak
in substance. An occasional Democrat
may be allowed an office but for the
great purposes of administering the af-
fairs OF tile Government, Democrats
have been excluded, and to you men the
question is presented now, ought there
not be changer Who knows what is
wrong in the books! Should they
not be opened. should there be no op-
portunity for US to know what is wrong
Ia the records of the country, so we may
know whether it is well or i'll. l don't
claim that one political party in its
Is probably any more
honest than the other. II we had no
political parties in this country
and were going to establish two
political parties and were to run
o line through this crowd and let that
side be of one party and the men on this
side Of the other party, The chances are
that there would be just a. many honest
men on one side % the other, and a.
many rogues on one side, perhaps. as on
the other. But suppose this party
comes right into power and 1t becomes
established that It is going 10 retain pow
er. For twenty years they have had the
.. htrol Of the offices and the control Of
the money Of the country. Don't you
see that all the rogues on this side would
gradually come over and JOIN the strong
side and gradually push the honest men
on this aide back aud back, until they
would take control Of the dominant
party themselves! Republicans for the
last nineteen years have said to every
Democrat you shall have no voice in the
control Of the affairs Of the government.
They have seen tit to occupy that posi-
ton, cruel proscriptive policy. excluding
every man that did not agree with them.

men, Shall it continue any longer

is trouble somewhere. God wrote il
in the early days Of our race that
BY the sweat OF his brow q man shall
earn his bread, but IL did not seem that
there was coupled with that Divine SEN
timent that perhaps man should have
no chance to earn his bread by the sweat
Of his brow, but II Il so.
There are q few other matters about
which, probably, ] ought to speak to
you this afternoon. The Republicans
have pretty much given you and me up,
my fellow citizens. They do not expect
any more to get the votes Of the natives
Of this country, those that were born
here. They have given up the Swedes
and Danes, and / believe they have
come dowh hard and heavy upon onr
Irish fellow citizens. When they como
to the conclusion that they have
caught the Irish voters, they are
pretty much gone up themselves.
] think / can say to you that our cause
will be successful this year. We have a
candidate for President that has borne
himself with distinguished credit and
honofs in the high Offices which he has
filled. He has borne himself with credit
in the city which promoted him to be
Chief Magiatrate o. that city. He has
borne himself with great credit as Chiel
Magistrate Of the greatest State of this
Union. Substantial objection has
not been made to his admins.
fratio..., He Is today supported by
tho ablest men Of the Republican party
The Independents Of New York, Con.
necticut, Massachusetts, and Indiana.
He is woi thy their snpport. I can en-
fertain no doubt OF the result. A paper
