statesman, Thomas A. Hendricks, pro
lOnged cheers.) l am pleased to speak
in the state that was his home.
You know what his Democracy was,
how true and how abiding. how disin-
terested, how patriotic. l believe it is
a sample of the Democracy OF the whole
state of Indiana. We were delighted to
honor him in the state of New York.
He was tower of strength to us in the
last campaign. and we all regret his
death. My friends, came TO you to-
day to ask you to do your duty, the same
as though he was your leader IN TINS
state to-day. You have another leader
here, the distinguished present governor
of your own state. Applause. Al
though not a candidate for public Office

Of the state of New York is proud OF
him. as you are also. Again. my friends,
permit me to thank you for this kind
and fiattering reception. l take this
not as a personal compliment TO myself.
but to the great cause OF Democracy
which we all have at heart. Loud and
continued cheering. Senator Raines was
hen introduced, and spoke for twenty
minutes on the tariff issue. He was
followed by Gov. Gray, who received
an ovation from the HOOSierS. AT
o'clock the party left Mitchell, en- route
to indianapolis. The first stop was at
Seymour. the junction of the Jefferson
vile. Madison IL Indianapolis road.
Fully a thousand people greeted the
party in a driZZling rain. Gov. Hill,
Gov. Gray and Senator Raines were es-
cOrred to the Junction hotel. where from
the balcony Gov. Hill briefly spoke as
follows:
Fellow Citizens: l thank you for
this cordial greeting. Four years ago
your opponents predicted that the cOun-
try would be ruined by the advent of
the Democratic party to power. They
predicted that we would

laughter; that we would repudiate
the national debt: that the cOlOred peO-
pie would be restored to slavery; that
the industries of the country would be
paralyZed and disasters of every kind
would Overtake this land. To-day we
can say that all these predictions of our
adveTsaries have come to naught. Here
Gov. Hill was interrupted by the noise
of an engine in the neighbOrhOOd. After
repeated cries to $50 ahead" he pro-
ceeded as followsl: That steam engine,
my friends. reminds me of one OF
Chauncey Depew's stories. Upon the
nnveiling of the Bartholdi statue in the
port of New York Mr.. Depew was the
orator of the day. The moment the
statue was unveiled Mr.. Depew

and he said to his audience
that it was the first time he had ever
been called upon to address crowd of
applauding steamboats,. Great laugh

the steam engine, because | am very
sure that these railroad mOnOpOlles al

We have now had three and a half
wears of a wise. stateSmanlike admins
tratiOn of public affairs. In the last
thirty or forty years we have not had
better administration than tnat which
has been given US by Grover Cleveland.
our president. Enthusiastic cheering.
The question which is now presented is
whether there shall be a change of adj
ministratiOn. think that the business
interests of the country are satisfied
with the present administration. The
country is reasonably prosperous.
OUR INDUSTRIES ARE FLoURISHING.
Our people. in the main. are receiv-
ing good wages and everywhere there is
cOntentment. No one. no matter how
bitter a partisan he may be, doubts the
sincerity of our president. He may
have made mistakes, but 1 do not and
cannot recall what they are. He has
submitted to the people suggestions in
regard to the tariff. What he proposes
is for the best interests of the consumers
of this land. The Democratic party
proposes to relieve the people from the
burden of unnecessary taxation. That.
my friends, is the issue of the
hour. We believe that under the pres
ent SyStem-rather under the present
high tariff-we are raising an unneceS-
sary amount of revenue in this country.
We believe that the place for the sur
plus taxes is in the pockets of the peO-
pie. and not in the federal treasury.
We believe a reduction should be made,
and we believe it can be accomplished
without iujuring any industry, and
without injuring the wages of a single
labOring man. We want a system so
adjusted that the people may have the
BENEFITS OF MODERATE TAXATION.
] am satisfied that the people of In
diana appreciate the Importance of this
campaign and propose to do your duty.
1t is impossible in this weather to speak
at any length. l thank you for the
compliment which you pay me and the
friends vino accompany me by coming
out to hear what little we have to say
on this inclement afternoon. Applause.
Three hearty cheers were given and
then Hon. 5. RaineS was introduced.
He made a short but eloquent address.

ing enthusiastic applause. At o'clock
the party re-embarked for Indianapolis.
Columbus was reached at $50. Between
1000 and 5000 people were at the depot
aad called loudly for Gov. Hill, who ap-
peared and said:
Fellow citizens. thank you for this
kind and fiattering reception. do not
propose in this inclement evening TO
speak to you upon the issues of the day.
l assure you. however, that New York
proposes to follow the people of Indiana
in this campaign, and cast its electoral
vote for Cleveland and Thurman. Pro-
lOnged cheers.
The crowd then called for Gov. Gray,
who, picking up the thread OF Gov.
Hills Utterances. said: And l want
to say, my fellow citizens. that Indiana
intends to give a larger majority for
Cleveland and Thurman than New
York" Great cheering.
At Edingburg, the next town, crowd
of 500 with torches called for Gov. Hill.
and cheered frantically as the train
moved away as the governor stepped
out. AT Franklin the crowd was from
800 to 500.
HURRAH FOR HILL.
