Turpie's Eloquent Address.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1.-The monument
erected in the State House grounds in
honor of the late Vice-P p resident Hendricks,
was formally unveiled to-day. The day
dawned clear and hot, but with good
breeze blowing, and when the trains began
to pour crowds into the city ii was clearly
apparent that the crowd would be the
largest ever assembled in Indianapolis.
Governor Campbell and party, of Ohio.
and Governor Hill and party, Of New
York, arrived yesterday, and among the
earliest arrivals to-day was Governor
Francis, of Missouri.
Early this morning n delegation OF the
Cook County Democracy, 800 strong. ac-
cOmpanied by the famous Second Regi-
ment Band. came in by special train from
Chicago, followed u little later by big
delegation from the IrOquois Club. Five
hundred members of the DuckwOrth Club,
of Cincinnati, next put in an appearance.
About every civil and military Organiza-
| ton ir Indiana and many from Ohio, llli-
nois, Kentucky and Missouri was repre-
sented. The local committee had provided
%. 900 silk badges adorned with bust cut
of Hendricks, but the supply was soon ex-
hausted and even if there had been twice
as many there would not have been sut-
ficient 10 go round.
THE GRADE PARADE
was made up Of five divisions. Mrs. Hen
bricks rode in the first carriage with the
sculptor, and received a grand ovation all
along the route No fewer than 10000 men,
comprising political clubs and civic and
military organizations were in line.
Houses along the route and the whole city
were profuscly decorated. AT the monu-
ment the exercises were short but impress
sive. Governor HOvey called the gather
| ing to order in a very few words, extending
a hearty welcome TO the visitors from
abroad, and paying brief tribute to the
memory of the man they had met in honor.
| He concluded by installing Hon.
Frederick Rand, President OF the Monu-
ment Association, rs presiding officer The
latter. in turn introduced Rev. Joseph >.
jerks, of St Paul's Church, who led the
gathering in prayer After a selection by
the Hendricks Club Band, President Rand
made historical statement, narrating the
circumstances under which the movement
| for the monument had originated; the
amounts contributed by the several States,
and the total expenditures The hymn
America was then sung by the
chorus and audience. As the last
notes died away Mrs. Hendricks rose
and gently pulled the rope, causing
the canvas to recede and disclosing the
