Democratic state jollitication was held
here to-day and was largely attended.
Between three and four o'clock this af.
ternoon meeting was organized at
Circle park, where Ex-Governor Hen

follows:
81 take pleasure in expressing to
chairman and members of the Demo
cratic state committee my apprecia-
tion of the value of their great service
in this contest. The Democracy of
the State should thank them, and as
for myself l take this opportunity also
to express my obligations to the voters
of the State of Indiana. In the first
speech / made during the contest
said to the people that l hoped to re-
! ceive their votes, and l repeated it fire.
qrently during the campaign. said
it earnestly and some gentlemen
thought it was not the thing to do.
| Why they should have thought so l
could not tell. l think that when de-
sired the support of the people of In
diana it was proper that should SO say
to them, and l now have the opportu-
nifty of thanking them for granting my
request.
"Indiana to-day is Democratic. 1t
is Democratic by good many thou
sand majority. A strong, solid, ear
nest Democratic state, and my fellow
citizens, as the result of the late con-
troversy. we have our national ticket
sustained by good majority.
"Cleveland and Hendricks have
been elected president and vice presi-
dent of the United States, and have re-
ceived the vote of Indiana.
Next to that we have the election of
the entire state ticket from governor to
the close of the ticket We have nine

value of your public securities has al
ready advanced. Many who do not
think rightly said that the effect of
our victory would be to reduce the val

Such, we sac, has not been the effect of
the election. Certain heresies and
mistaken opinions have prevailed.
"The Republican party has been a
party OF less than half the people,
claiming that they alone ought TO be
allowed to execute and administer the
laws. This heresy has been rebuked.
A certain set of men is no longer to

be said that one particular class of
men can arrogate to themselves the
government of the country. The ma

shall turn to the Republican party and
that party shall have the majority we
shall respect that e1pI ession of the peo-

did not get as much money as usual
TO use for the election iu Indiana and
the result was left TO the best iudg-
