sentatives of political parties, aud demand of
them an account of their stewardship. Parties
may be long IN power, and may become so AFRO
CANT ana careless OF the interests OF the people
as to grow needless of their responsibility to
their masters; but the time comes as certainly
as death, when the people weigh them in the
balance. The issues TO be adjudicated by the
nation are great as its size They are made up

INDIANAPOLIS, July l2th.-A largely attended
Democratic meeting To ratiy the nominations
of Cleveland and Hendricks was held here to-
night. Messrs. Hendricks and Mcdonald were
escorted 10 the place of speaking by the new
political labor organization known as the "Au-
tocratS The meeting was called to order by
Austin II. Brown and William H. English was
made Chairman. Hendricks was received with
a burst of genuine enthusiasm, which seemed
to inspire him, and he spoke with more than
hSudi CsiSS anu AANltINN. MS hS NGTt as
follows:
My Fellow Citizens You are almost as mad
as they were in the Convention at Chicago.
lGreat cheers. thought they would not stop
up there at all. | am very much encouraged
and delighted to meet you on this occasion
You come 10 celebrate and TO express your ap-
proval of the nomination that was made at
Chicago. am glad that you are cordial in
this expression. This is a great year with us.
Every fourth year we elect two great officers
of the Government. This year is our great year
and every man, whatever his party associa-
tions, is called upon 10 reconsider all questions
upon which he is disposed to act. and having
reconsidered these, to cast his vote in favor of
what he believes to be right. The Democracy
of Indiana appointed me as one of the delegates
TO the Convention at Chicago. l spent nearly a
week in attendance in that city, and now re-
turn to say few words to you-and only few
things-in regard to that Convention. 1t was
the largest Convention ever held in America.
Never has such an assemblage been seen before
1t was a Convention marked in its character for
sobriety, deliberation and purposes. 1t selected
two men to carry the banner of Democracy, and
leaving that Convention and going out before
the people, the question is, viii you help carry
that banner? tGreat cheering and cries I'VE
will do it."
do not expect, have no right to expect that
l will escape the criticism and it may be the
SANDER of the opposite party. / have not in my
before you, Democrats, conservatives, indie
pendents, all men who wish to restore the Gov
ernment to the position it occupied before these
corrupt times and to all such men make my
appeal for your support for the high office for
which have been nominated by the Democ-
racy at Chicago. [Great cheers
Governor Cleveland is the nominee for Presi-
dent-a man promoted to the high office of Gov
ernOr by the largest majority ever deciding an
election in that State. He is man of eStab-
lished honesty of character. and if you will elect
him TO the Presidency of the United States you
will not hear of any star-route frauds in the
postal service of the country under his admin
istration. [Cheersf l VIII tell you what we
need-Democrats and Republicans will alike
agree upon that; we need to have the books of
the Government offices open for examination.
fCheers and cries of That it. Do YOU think
that men in this age never yield to temptation?
lLaughter.l 1t is only two weeks ago that one
of the Secretaries at Washington was called be-
fore Senate committee to testify III regard to
the condition of his department and in that
department was Bureau of Medicine and Sur
gerry. In that department an examination was
being had by committee from the Senate and
it was aseertained by the oath of the Secretary
that sits at the head of the department that the
defalcation found during the last year, as far as
it had been estimated. was $4,000, and when
asked about il he said that he had received a
letter year ago, informing him of some of
these outrages, and a short time since some
body had come 10 him and told him that there
were frauds going on in the service, but mem
Der OF Congress had recommended the contin-
uance of the head of the bureau with such
that he thought it must be all right
Now it turns out that the public is $500 out,
and how much more no man, expect, can now
tell. What is the remedy? To have President
that will appoint head of the bureau that will
investigate the condition of the books and
bring all the guilty parties TO trial. [Cheers and
cries of g That's it,
Ny fellow-citizens, did not intend to speak
this long to you. Loud cries of Go ahead :"
aud Keep it up ~ The Convention at Chicago

self had no expectations. In no respect. in no

We did not realize all that we expected. but
believe that is the fate of humanity almost ev-
erywhere and under almost every circumstance
But we have realized that that should encour-
age us TO make an effort for good government
Cries of That is the beginning. Not that i
want the Office to which ! was nominated, for
you know that did not desire that but some
body must be nominated for Vice President and
when the ticket is presented to you you are
called upon to pass Judgment upon il in respect
TO its merits throughout. [Cheers and cries of

| have every faith that this ticket will be
elected. [Cries of 80 have 1T think know
something about Indiana. Great cheers and
laughter We will probably stand here to-
gether, won't we? Cries of g You bet"] And
this banner of liberty of right of Justice of fair
government, that has been in the hand of Cleve-
land and Hendricks shall be carried and placed
in glorious triumph on the top of the national
Capitol in November next. [Great cheering and
cries of We will put it there =" Shall this be
the peoples banner? Cries of "1t is ~ You
have no interest except in good government,

dence and preserve it ferries of - You have it,
too - i and all ask of you is your support. not
for myself but for yourselves and for your chill
dren and all the people that are interested in
good government. Cheers.
They tell us that the Government can be well
carried on for Sl00 900, 600 less than is now col
lected from the public. If Cleveland shall come
into the Presidential office believe that he will
bring the expenses down TO the last dollar that
will support the Government economically adj
[cheersl, and then, when he does
that. he will have accomplished what General
Jackson said was the duty of any Government.
A Government has not the right to collect dol
lar from the people except what is necessary to
meet the public service. Cheers and cries of
!" That is right. For what Government needs
she has right to come to me, or to you, or to
all of us, and make us pay for il, but when she
gets all that she needs for economical admins
tration she has not the right to take another
siXpence out of our pockets, and that is all we
ask. When this ticket shall wave in triumph
that idea viii be established in this country
Cheers.

have given me. l ask you simply that, as a
citizen interested in all that interests any of u.s.
that y0u will give your attention to this cam
