COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 25.-The state mass
meeting Of Cleveland and Hendricks clubs
brought forty Of the organizations to the city
and from 10000 to $1,000 people. In the
afternoon the meeting was presided over by
Senator Thurman. who made the introduct-
DRY speech and remarks on introducing the
different persons. Senator Bayard, of Della
ware, made the main speech on the growth
Of the Democratic party since the war, on
The ideas Of reform and constitutional gov
ernment which had been developed with its
progress. Other speeches were made by
Senators elect Henry B. Payne, Robert Nc
Lean, of Maryland, and ex-senator Doo-
little, Of Wisconsin. Governor Hendricks
was given an ovation but postponed his
address till evening. A conference was af
terward held by the officers of the Democratic
clubs throughout the state, at which a consti-
tuition and bylaws were adopted perfecting
consolidated organizations and arranging
for perpetuating the organization as a state
association, for which the officers will be
elected on st. Jackson's day, Jan. 8, 1885.
In the evening a grand street parade was
given in connection with an elaborate dis
play Of fireworks. Speeches were made from
four different platforms in Capitol square,
and addresses made by SEN
ators Bayard, Payne, Pendleton,
Doolittle, Gen. Mansur, of Missouri; Con-
gresham p. A Collins, of Boston; John f.
Folem, Gen. Darbin Ward, and Others
Gov. Hendricks spoke at the east front and
was introduced by Thurman. He said he
had just returned from his home and was
astounded at the interest displayed in pub
lie affairs, but when he remembered that
the state election was but three weeks and
national election but six weeks distant, the
wonder ceased, even when he saw the
thousands gathered here. Every fourth
year the people at the ballot box decide
for or against a change in the manage
ment of the government. In November
the people must again decide
for continuance or change
of the administration. Did they think the
same men must be continued from Olym-
piad. 1t is now twenty-five years since
there was change. Millions of dollars have
been collected and paid out in that time
Last year there was collected and paid out
an aggregate of $66, 800, 600. The story of
these transactions are written in thousand
books, by thousand clerks, but they all are
R"publicau-no Democrat is allowed to read
tie story. Much more money is collected
than used. The government should have
all that is needed for an economical admin
istration of the affairs Of the country, but
not one dollar more. When the citizens
have paid all the government
needs, they have done their whole
duty, and ought not TO be asked to
DO more. Senator Sherman said, in very
rough language last night that he (Hen-
dricks) had misrepresented the national
treasury. The remark reflected more on
Calkins, the Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Indiana, than on himself. Calkins
had said, in speech, that the Republicans
found the treasury empty and that now it
was full to overllOwing. He (Hendricks)
had quoted Calkns on the supposition that
he knew, being a member Of congress. The
question is whether taxation is too high, and
ought TO be reformed. Two years ago
Arthur said the taxation is too high aud
ought to be lightened. 1t exceeded the
needs of the government by
300, coo, 900. In 1882 excess
was Sl45,O00, 600. Congress undertook
slight concession, but at the second session
nfterward the secretary of the treasurer re-
ported the reduction would not relieve the
people as it should, the excess being SS5,-
O00,000. This excess is increasing annually
SO that the speaker did not suppose Calkius
~
mained with people or in the channels OF
trade would il not be a great benefit. In
the sentence of the Democratic platform II
says the taxation shall not exceed the needs
of the government. II shall be for public
purposes alone, and shall be the highest on
articles of luxury. By its honor the Domo-
cratic party stands pledged to support these
principles. In discussing Blaines
foreign policy the speaker related
incidents of the arrest in Pierce's
administration by Austriaus, Of Costa, q
Hungarian, who had become an American,
citizen, and the seizure by the English, when
Blaine was secretary Of stale, of McSweeny.
In Irishman, who was a naturalized Ameri-
can citizen. II said something was wrong
between the Republicans and Germans, and
the latter would not support Blaine, their
differences having been widened by Blaine's
conduct in regard TO the prohibition in
Maine. His speech was closed with an ap-
peal for the citizens TO vote for Cleveland.
Speaker Carlisle msde the most elaborate
speech OF the night, arraigniug the Republi-
eau party for corruption, loss of the navy,
public lands aud other mismanagements in
gorernment affairs. He also ar
araigued them for encouragement
OF corporations and monopolieS and
FOR the Wholesale pillage Of funds uselessly
collected from the people, and denying thai
he was 4 freetrader. He proceeded TO advo-
cate q tariff and revenue reform on the hasi:
OF collective taxes exclusively for economic
administration of the government. tie said
that the working men were being deluded by
the question Of wages, when in fact the,
were kept poor by high prices. Labor trouble:
were heard OF on all hands. The Re
publican party believed in higt
taxes and great expenditures, with the
fullest license to itself, while il
seeks 20 control the tastes and habits Of III,
people Tie Democrats favored coustitu
tional rights and personal liberty They
we're in favor Of no determinations by a pro
lective tariff, but for the free growth of al
industries. They did not believe in the the
ozy OF getting rich by ourselves and no
trading with others. The Democrats prom
lsed to have s revenue tariH which would re
dnce taxes and benefit ali alike. Tn,
speaker devoted much Of his time to an.
sweriug Blaine's letter OF acceptance as Il
the tariff question and As 10 "a,
growth of wealth in thi:
country under Republican rule
He spoke for over two hours on this and tht
subject of general retrenchDent and reform
