SPEECH OF GOVERNOR Claude Matthews.

Before 1 democratic State Conventio , Indianapolis, August 15th, 1894. Once again a great party assembles in convention to deliberate upon those questions that concerns the welfare of a people, the good of government, and make appeal to the public fora renewal‘of its support and confidence. It is gratifying to see so many gatheredtogether from all the.walks of life, and y :ur enthusiasm gives* h< pe ful sign of coming success. Surely the gloomy forebodings and presages of defeat heralded in the opposition papers has had but little effect. We are met under peculiar conditions, still fighting the bat. ties of the people to relieve them from the burdens of tax and a system of taxation created one generation ago through the necessities of war—burdens the placed under the promise that so soon as peace was restored relief should be give >. A party policy which was enriching the few at the expense of the many, heaping up fabulous wealth in the hands of one class and sapping the strength and resources of nil others to maintain it, begetting extravagances that invaded the administratio a of government until it was impoverishing the millions to pay tribute to the privileged few. Ihe people at last revolted an I for the fiist time sinoe'lßs7 placed all departments of the government in the hands of the democratic party tofree them from these evils and reform the injustice of the past. We came into possession of the government, but with a depleted and < mpty treasury, made so by the recklessness and profligacy of republican administration. Not alone was this our inheritance, but cripplecUand embarrassed through the entailure of extravagant appropriations, reaching beyond the close of republican control of public affairs, and forcing upon their successors the passage of deficiency t ills, and issuance of bonds to maintaiq the credit and he honor of the govern, ment. These strained and unnatural oondit ons resulting from their ruinous policy, deceptive teachings and juggling with the financial and public debt statements of the country, introduced by Mr Harrison’s secretary of the treasury, could not but sooner or later seriously affect the prosperity of the people. Deceptive and corrupt policies, aud reckless extravagance in the administration of government through public'ofiicials seriously affects the morals and integrity ci a people and < ncourage like in the management of private business affairs of the citizen,

The results have been witnessed in the widespread financial snd commercial de. pression that swept over our country Great national banks have toppled and fallen burying, too often in disgrace, officials of thqse institutions 'hi t&e ruins’— Forced and unnatural prosperity of cq umerciid a d manufacturing enterprises could not meet the day of reckoning. And now we see a once great party seeking to esc pe public condemnation for their mischievous policy, a d still deceive a long suffering people ny charging these result® to the accession to power of the dpmqparty. How in the seeming satis-: faction which the republican press recorded one commercial disaster after another, did history seem to .epeat itself wsen we read that Nero fiddled when Home was burning. In assuming ontrol of the govern ment no party ever encountered such tremendous difficulties as met the democratic party, and no greater st aggie to fulfill the promises and redeem the pledges it had made iu its declaration of principles of 1892.

Pledges Being Redeemed, One I y one these pledges are being redeemed through the heroic efforts of our representatives ii; congress. The iniquitous and unjust federal election law his fallen be eath our sturdy blows; the prgipise tp repeal the silverpurchesiugclause of the Hherman act has been fulfilled »ud the measure enacted into law that uo special or privi eged class of property shall escape its just share of the burden o tax, even though that be the hitherto hoarded and sacred greenback ornational currency The atrugglt must be brave earnest, £or the fiercest opposition is to oe encountered all along the '.ine. Siege has been laid to the stronghold of republicanism—its proteetive tariff—and thej'lay of a broad com merci il fr edom is surely dawning upon us. Step by step we tight pur way, camping on every vantage ground, until we si all stand amid the purpling bights of vict'ry won and Saocess achieved: We willinot be conte it to r. st upon the mountain and look into the promised Jand, but will enter it to take fuli posses tina le .vp it as blessed heritage to ouy Children and they .who may come after them. Every point gained is an advance not alone for today, but for the future of the country. There must be no backward step; the cry is forward. We may not in the present measure and through the present congress secure all that, may be desired, but it is just ag sqre as night shall follow the day all legislation that may give relief in the direction of true tariff reform is e remain upon the statutes fixed and sscure. It may be added tojor advanced, but it will never moie be taken from or moved backward. It matters not whether the repubrlican or the democratic party may be in tbe ascendency. Trqe tariff yefopp; a bfoad commercial freedom, a revenue taxation b s§d upon economic expenditure hag come to set its seal upon ail future legislation of the government. No grander opportunity wr.s ever presented to a political party than that placed within tfie reach of tbe democratic Wp shall earnestly oppose aipd bravely mept ap oner., honest foe, who; byinberitaiieo and teachings, may have never been with, of, orforus. But those who, marching under the banners o! democracy, abandoning demociaticpr uciples and forgetting the sacred cause of the people, would place obstacles in the way by locul’ziuggreat national truths of governnient, let them beware the indignation of an aroused aud outraged party. Where President Cleveland, trusted leader, will be true to lead, we shall be brave enough to follow, The democratic party has at times suffered defeat in the past, and may j it< et temporary defeats in tbe future, but iit never surrenders. Surrender will on y ' come when the cause of the people, to which it has ever been true, when representative governm nt which it has faithfully defended, and the great principles it h~s advocated shall have been eternally lost.

The line mark’d out by President Cleveland in his message of I'B7, his recent letter to Congressman Wilson, the platform in 1802, will be strictly adhered to and followed until a complete revision and reform in national taxation is attained.— The m isses of the democratic party arc honest and demand that their leaderslshall be 1 onest and faithful to trusts imposed upon them. They befieve that party

platforms and declarations of principles, when in convention assembled, are maae with honest purpose, aud demand that public promises must be as faithfully observed as individual obligations. Through storm and through sun bine the democratic party has been the persistent friend, able advocate and brave defender of silver. Ido not believe the day has come whsn wu propose or can afford in the interests of the people to turn our backs upon this metal It is an important product of the country and from the days of our fathers down through all the wondrous and amazing growth of our country, we have found it a useful, safe, valuable medium of circulation. I It was a part of our money through the grandest periods of our prosperity, and i s value unquestioned to 1873. In fulfill, ment of a promise made we iepealed the puichasing clause of the Sherman act, hoping for a relief through this, which was not. I regret to say, relized, hampered and embarrassed as we were by republican legislation. I balieved then and believe now, that in the repeal of this clause there should have been some measure adopted that would have relieved the doubt and the anxiety of the people as to the future standing of silver as a medium of value and exchange. There is reason to believe that a positive position taken by our government as to the coinage of silver, and a firm < eclaration that it shall continue to be the money of our people, upon an equal footing with gold or other money, would go far to establish its circulation throu ghout the commercial world. I have not that faith in intern'tional congresses or agreem nt that would cause me to patiently await such movements. They are too far in the future, and too doubtfulof coming. I believe the government of the Unjtpd States, with its seventy millions of people, with its commercial enterprise ana wonderful resources, is great enough and s rong enough to take the lead and map out a way for the world to follow. At lea t, in the interest of the debtor classes ot.this country, constituting by fqr the larger part of our citizen®, whose interests should surqly be dearer to us than all the world besides, without furth r delay we should declare our faith in silver, restoring it to its old position prior to its cunning and outrageous dethronement by the re. publipan party in 1873, and proceed to the coinage of both goldjjand silver without discriminating against ei'her, “adjusted by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the parity of the two metals." Attitude Toward Labor.

There is another subject that demands the thoughtful consideration of the public at this time The democratic party is today, as it has ever been, the tiue and triedjfriend of American labor.' Peculiarly a pa ty of and for the people, it has been quick to respond in sympathy w|th tkie distress of labor, from eruel and unjust imposition. It would shield ft from the oppression of unjust law; protect it from the selfish greed of wealth and exacting corporate power; sacredly guard its good name from the ill-considered acts and lawless violence of alse or so-called friends, and secure for it those measures that shall best in®et worthy needs and honest demands.

Indiana’s positi m is one of pride upon this question for there is not a law upon our statutes that has been of real practical benefit and relief to labor but has been placed there by democratic bands, pro. tecting the miner, the mechanic employes of railways and all labor in their just rights and privileges. We recognize that while no class of citizens require fuller protection under the law there are none who are more directly interested ip its enforcement ana execution. We have watched with satisfaction tbe good results accomplished in labor organized, whenlts best purest purposes aie to be seived and its highest aims will berfected, when it shall realize t at peaceful measures under the law must remedy wrongs ra|hey than those of forep, when peaceful intervention shall settle differ, encea where resort to extreme methods invite In the name of labor a lawless element to commit acts of violence.

The recent disturbances through which wehuve passed, with its scenes of violence, destruction and bloodshed, conditions Which, if allowed to continue, wo’d have passed into rampant ananhyand ruin, destructive of all government, and socji ety as organized for public good, in the Bfwred cause of than any other, demanded immediate suppression. How. ever earnest and sinner tue effort to redress grievances, and however just the cauoe of (honest labor, just as soon as other means beyond those piovided by law are resorted to, does a vic ous element seize, upon it to give vent to tneir laiylesspassions and place hpnqst workingmen, thro' thetp act's, in the altitude of law breakers, Ip the name of labor, is it not time to stop and ask ourselves the question, if we have not thro vn our doors too wide open, received too indiscriminate!, the unworthy emigra t, and too hastily clothed them with the rights and privileges of citizenship. By far too many have Men received of the pauper, criminal and anarchistic class, respecting neither the laws of God nor tun. who remain ignorant of our language, laws and institutions, whose'only idea of liberty is lawlessness and license, aud hostile to all government, recognizing none eave that of force, who can never become assimilated or Americanized, and ip their titter disre ard bf Uw and civilj. zing influences degrade the honest labor of the land I bel eve the best interest of labor alone demands that this class of i emigrants be excluded from our shores, I and he who attempts to bring thpm into competition with the American working? ' men here, should be h*eld guilty Y>f a high 'crimin 1 offense. It wns decreed by God and designed by our fathers that America shoulibethe home of civil and religious liberty This 'is the great underlying principle iu the liberties of a people, and of free representative government. It has been not the leapt of the missions of the democratic party to zealously guard their sacred privi ege in the past, aud it shall continue in the future to raise its voice against the unholy and un-Amoricon prejudice that would stir up a feeling of hatred, bitter, ness and annimosity toward one religious Beo t—a feeling that is wholly at war w|th fratern charity, Christ Un sentiment and highest civilization. Such a sentiment can never find a renting place in the bosom of democracy nor in the hearts of true American citizens. Befo ethis can be we Erst must blot out from the pages of our history the glories reflected upon our country by many of its catholic citizens, in the founding of the government, in peaceful legislation and on the fields of

We will have to forget that in catholic Maryland religious tolerance was first proclaimed on the shoresof the western continent; strike the name of catholics from the list of signers to the declaration of independence, and lose to memorvthe deeds of Lafayette,, of Steubin, Dekalb and others.

This State Questions. I beg your attention for e few moments to purely state questions. In no state of the union has democracy so proud a record as that in Indiana, I make the bold and broad assertion tin t all the great reform measures that has kept pace with the progress oi an enlightened people, every law to relieve the condition of In or, and to protect the woikingman in his life, his wagesi apd his rights; every means to equally distribute the burdens of taxation upon all the propertv of the state to dignify the citizen and guard the purity of the ballot, has been the work of democratic legislatures. * Gur p ,rty can w th pardonable, yetenthusiastje pride, point to the splendid history of its legislation. By the faithful fulfillment of promises made in party platforms, the Indiana democrat has been taught to have unswerving faith and confidence in hie party decl irations, and to believe that promises so made were honest and sincere, for all pledgeshave been redeemed. Theie is no just reason why the citizen of this state should doubt the sincerity of democracy in its platforms adopted, sndjif he approves the principles advocated, why be should n t sustain the party with his vote In tho interest of workingmen it gave to our people the mechanics' lien law and a lien for wages on all property constructed by his labor; the law to protoot employes in their labor orgdniaa'iopH; to provide for the safety us the ffiiner in his dangerous work, and compel the ventilation of mines. It gave tho eight hour labor law, prohibited the blacklisting of employes, the pluck-me-store, the employment of Pinkerton detectives nndimpor ation into the state of foreign or contract labor. At all times it has manifested its sympathy and friendliness to labor, and what more could it hqpe to accomplish, through any other instrumentality It was a democratic legislature that first granpled with and won the first great victory for the neople over trusts and combinations in the school book law, thus saving enormous ex onse to the parents and the children of the state. It was the democratic party appreciating the highest responsibility of citizenship, the sacred privilege of suffrage, guarded the purify of the ballot in it« great elpc-, tion law, whereby the humblest b'tizen may exercise thigjdivine privilege without fear of intimidation or iuterfo euce. Through tne new tax law the d mocratic party remedied a grievous wrong by Baking it possible to have corporate wealth bear its ju t proportion of taxation which had heretofore beeip By and through this Iqw yon h®ve placed upon the tax 'duplicates $150,1'00,000 of property i that had not heretofore been properly assessed. This law, like all the great measures ; adopted by our party, was bitterly oppos- , ed by the republican party, both before nnd ; after their Adoption. They have stood the test of opposition, been indorsed by the people, and sustained by the courts, apd , are t ere to stay so long as the democracy may control the legislation of tie st 4e, no, period in the history of our state have its great institutions been so amply provided for, so efficiently mana ed and so economically administered. And all this with a lower levy for state purposes •nd a general r duction throughout the state for all purposes. Therq is arid has been no exo,use fo.r. an increase of tax anyw ere throughout the state except for extraordinary reasons. Our state debt, the larg st part of which was "ncurred by republican administrations, and difficult to account for, that part that may be justly attributed to our party going into the construction of necessarystafebt tidings and improvements, and for every dollar of which we can show full value received, is Uow being diminished. During the bnt little over eight en months of my administration there has been paia $710,000 of this debt, and I trust before the fiscal year may have closed we may make it an even million. This, too, with the fact that we have lowered the rate of tax, including a levy for a sinking fund to provide for the gradual extinguishment of the state debt. Is it notamagnifl'ent showing, a glorious history of legislation? But, gentlemen of the convention, you have met to perform a responsible and important dutv. I trust yqn may perform yoqr work here today with satisfaction to yourselves and the people whom you represent, that your proceedings may be marked with wisdom and harmony. May you a’so return to your homes inspired with the enthusiasm begotten by the high and honorable motives that fill your hearts. There is nothing to discourage the democracy of Indiana. Many of you have seen the clouds hang lower than they do today, and yet, with the earnest work of a unite 1 party, fortified with the consciousness of a righteous canse, these clouds ; were swept away, and the sunshine rested j upon your banners clottfed With victory. ( I have that confidence in the intelligence and justice of bur people that they will again confide the destiny of their state into the hands of a party that has been the party of progress and reform in Indiana, I aud that has proven it can be trusted.
