INDIANA'S DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.

ing of the Indiana Democratic editors, held
mere to-day, was addressed by several promi-
nent Democrats, among them Vice President
elect Hendricks. In the course OF his re-
marks Gov. Hendricks congratulated the edi-
tors for the great work they have done in the
last six months. 81 do not Think" said he,
''that you ever yourselves felt the full force of
your arguments more than in the great con-
test just closed. 1t has placed some questions
correctly before the country, the most impor-
tant and striking of which, perhaps, was
the right of the people TO select their
own rulers without any fraudulent inter-
ference whatever. That right, i think, is
now well established. 1t is illustrated, in
fact, that the country accepts the results of
the last election, although very small ma
jOrity in the State OF New York decided that
contest. That is a very sublime spectacle
the acquiescence of solmany upon SO great
result and upon SO narrow majority.
