AT SEYMOUR.
At Seymour the Governor, despite the
heavy rain, was met by a large multitude,
| to whom he spoke as follows:
FELLOw-CITIZENS: thank you for your
cordial greeting. Four years ago our Cd
| ponents predicted that our country would be
ruined by the advent of the Democratic party
| to power. They predicted that it would assume
| the Confederate debt; that the colored people
would be remanded to slavery, and that the In
dustries OF the country would be overtasen by
disasters of all kinds. 1t is hardly necessary
| for me to say that all their predictions have
come to naught. Her, the speaker was in.
| terrupted by the whistling and steam. blowing
| OF q passing locomotive. Silence having
been restored. he resumed.l That steam
/ engine reminds me OF one of Chauncey
Depews stories On the day OF the unvailing
of the Bartholdi statue, the moment it was
unvaled Mr.. Depew was introduced That mo-
menL every steamboat in the harbor started
| up its whistle, and, said Mr. Depew: This is
| the first time that have ever been called upon
| TO address crowd of applauding steamboats,. -

best OF you in the end. For three and a half
years you have experienced the benefit of a

never in forty yearS4ave you had better one
than that given to you by Grover Cleveland.
| prolonged applause.l The question now pre-
sents itself to you whether there should be q
change in the Administration. The business
community is satisfied, the country is pros per-
GUS, the working people are receiving good
wages, every where there is contentment. 1
do not believe that the truest. the best inter-
ests OF the country will be subserved by q
change in the Administration. There is no
doubt OF the sincerity of the President He
may have made m stakes, but I can't recall

In regard 90 the tariff is for the best
| interests OF the land. They believe
that the place for the surplus is In the
pockets OF the people, and that there shou Id
be a reduction in the tariff without doing in
jury to the wages of the laboring man. They
want system of taxation in moderation, a
taxation in the interests of the people them
selves. A Democratic House of Rep -esenta-
tives has given to us bill founded on the true
| interests of the masses, founded upon patriot
ism. framed in the interest of all consumers Of
| the land. Republican Senate may refuse to
pass it but in my judgment, it will have to do
so, and that fact will be recognized in this cam
paign. The interests of the people in this cam
paign are identified with the Democratic party,
and in this campaign the interests of labor are
identified with that same party CHEERS But

AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Between 200 and 1000 had assembled
at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, to hear
the Governors evening speech. For five
minutes the audience, nearly every man
on his feet, was in perfect frenzy of en-
thusiasm On ct being finally restored.
Governor Hill, who appeared profoundly
affected by his reception, with broken
voice and in a hesitating manner said:
FELLow-CTrIzENs: have heard considerable
about the Wild West, but this far exceeds my
expectations. IGreat applause.1 thank you
for this kind and flattering reception. am
proud to speak in the City that was the home
of that distinguished statesman, Thomas A.
Hendricks. [ApplauseI 1 am likewise proud
to speak in the city that is the home OF your
present able Governor, Isaac P. Gray Jap

sends greetings to the Democracy of the State
of Indiana LApplause.l We are assembled
this evening to hear discussed the issues of
the hour. Waving all prelim mares, permit
me now to enter upon the discussion OF the
principal topic to which I desire to call your
attention. I need not inform intelligent
audience like this what the issue OF the hour is
You have had meetings he etofore in this city,
and I have no doubt that the great ques-
tion known as the tariff question has
been most deliberately discussed before
you. Permit me, however to call your at
tention at the outset of my remarks to one
popularity of this campaign 1t differs from
the campaigns of the past in Presidential
years in this respect: for the first time in
twenty-odd years the people are engaged in the
discussion OF economic and industrial ques-
tions. The first point that desire to make in
behalf of the Democratic party is this: that
we are indebted to the wise, statesmanlike and
honest force OF Grover Cleveland Lccntinued
cheering] for having the opportunity of pre-
senting these questions. Fear years ago other
questions occupied the attention OF the people:
the various sections of our country were ar
rayed against each other. We were fighting
the war over again. To-Say, by reason of
three-and- half years OF National Demo-
cratic Admin stration. the country is entirely
and completely pacitied: and hence we are
permitted to discuss these questions that more
intimately concern the PEOPLE. lApplause.l
This result was indeed worth all the effort
and all the labor 1t cost four years ago to bring
it about.
What is the issue of the hour? The great
question is: Shall there be reduction of taxa
ton in this country? 1 need not argue before
this intelligent audience of the danger to the
people in overlooking treasury You have
heard this question discussed at length b. and
you undoubtedly have made up your minds on
the question, but say this-and but echo, I
think, the sentiments of the American people
that we do not believe the best or truest inter-
ests of this country will longer be subserved
by having an OVERLOOKING treasury. We be-
| leve, in word, that the place for a surplus
taxation is in the pockets of the people and not
in the Federal Treasury. [Great applause. I
We believe that in times of peace there should
be no longer imposed upon US war taxes. Zap

Cleveland might have avoided the issue-[ap-
plausel-.but it confronted HIM and he met It
grandly and nobly. That issue is nov pre-
sented for the consideration of the American
people. Last December, in a message, which
was bold and able, strong and patriotic, Presi-
dent Cleveland presented the question to the
American Congress He pointed Gut the duty
of that Congress; he pointed out the needs of
the people: ne pointed the way for relief for
taxpayers and consumers of our country; GER
tain recommendations were mads in the inter-
ests of the people. The first objection made
by our opponents in and out OF Congress was
that there was no necessity for any action on
the part of Congress or the people. do not

quest on in and out OF Congress. They as
