 This is no ordinary triumph We have not only outnumbered the voters at home who opposed us, but we have overcome the influence and power of regiments of offcehoders It is a consideration of great pleasure to that this battle has not been achieved exclusively by Democrats (applause) l believe am as earnestly Democrat as almost any man. but here tonight in New York adjoined to pleasure to say we owe much to the Independent Republicans (great applausel It is hard thing to telf how strong the bonds that hold partisans together but in these days the leaders, the bright est scholars the patriots have stepped out from the ranks and taken hold of the Democratic banner for the time being and helped achieve freedom from rings and cabals. Let us see to it that we drive none of these men back into their old ranks by any misconduct part. (Great applause).
 The question presents itself what does our vic tory signify What ideas of government stand ex- pressed in the votes cast on November 4? Perhaps the d ehiefet is stability The De%oerate f party in born support of stable government and firm author ity until it came by way of derision to be called pressed Stability in favor of right accept it. so far as expressed stability and support of the wrong that we will stand by established constitutions The result means change but it does not signify de struction We do not propose to break down that which has been established in periods of the past The constitution with it's amendments we propose to stand by. Nothing in the great contest snesesng that the T be in favor of any disturbance of the constitution
 very few days beg say to you that this contest in none of it's developments does signify any dis colored people As the coIored man comes into the new administration as a voter, So he will go out of free man and clothed with the beautiful gar ments of citizenship, so will he, step, out at the same legal and constitutional rights Oh, it has been cruel thing that Republicans for the purpose nisIed them in respect to the probable results of the election They have been m made de to believe for would be the destruction of their rights as estab

Nothing in the contest just closed authorizes any Republican established instrumentality of the of the country. There some other lessons taught in this great contest: It has been taught by this de cision of the people that the minority shall say to the majority we can't trust you quite yet to piause) They. said that eight years ago-Tre- mendous ehser9g ThTee cheers Ter were gYenId Tor When the people eight years in the popular vote well as n the electoral college declared & the cleo, again interrupted by wild outburst of cheering and stamping of feetthen it was continuedMr Hendricks organized to defeat in the United States of America the right Of the s0 o b fheP own

(Ap plause) In your past history for several years ii has been forgotten but it has been taught that truth is powerful than ever and will prevail Mr. Hendricks proceeded to denounce the untruths of the scandal which had disgraced | the campaign and continued:
 It has been decided by the people that there shal 1 be executive and administratiye reform Do yor | course am cannot be in favor of continuation years that are past. The people tired of it and want change g 6APpaqs2eo 2 Do Ssa,,d you desire t am free to say to you people tonight that an not particularly confident of success after school

 has established that there must be revenue reform
 Mir Hendricks here referred to the large surplus arising from taxation and adopted l President Arthur's maxim that the standard | of taxation should be ''the needs of the gov
 ernment, economically administered" H. also praised Secretary Folger's admonition to
 Congress that the pressing question now Ii
 what legislation will relieve th'
 people of the burdens of unnecessary
 taxation. There being some noisy
 crowding at the door Mir. Hendricks paused l in his argument to remark, t'I expect some
 body will have te=see to the trouble at th
 door. I suppose there are some Democrat
 there and they want to get in Daughter.
 There may be few on the other side tha want to get out" (renewed merriment.) Afte
 this by-play Mir. Hendricks returned to tn l discussion of his party's position regarding
 taxation. He said the Chicago platform ex | that in f0r1r T1rOTOSitiOnS:
 First-Taxation shall not exceed the needs of tn l government economically administered; second
 for nriyate eain and speculation (appianse) third
 taxation shall be adjusted so as not to hurt labo
 Heaviest rn on aricles of luxury and lghtest upol ! articles of necessity.
 | He invited any Republican present to ob ject to any one of these propositions ana
 hearing no response congratulated the lat
 national convention upon adopting tarif scheme acceptable to all parties. He added
 that the tariff was difficult question only tt
 those somewhat interested in making it so
 These four propositions made it plain tC
 everyone. He predicted legislation nex l spring which would do something toward re
 storing the navy to efficiency and our mer
 chant marine to supremacy. In conclusion
 he told story of going in his ch1lhoot l during the Jackson campaign to tn ! nearest town to where he lived an(
 seeing a hickory broom on a pole l which he was told indicated that whel
 Andrew Jackson got to Washington he wa
 going to sweep all the corruption out of tn
 departments ffFrom that day the hickor..
 broom has been the symbol of my Demoe | racy and when Grover Cleveland shall talk
 his place believe the hickory broom will b
 his banner too And SO I hope the grea
 victory has not been in vain, but that upol
 the truths it has established shall be bull
 the permanent structure of mans rights, c
 mans equality, of mans greatness an
 glory.n Applause.
 Andrew Mclean then made a brief addres
 and after adopting resolution of thanks t Governor Hendricks the meeting adjourned
 During the evening there was parade C 3 Democratic and Independent uniforme clubs through the principal streets, whic .. were illuminated in honor of the occasion.
