Goodrich, republican candidate for governor of Indiana, was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audienre at the Victoria theatre at Lafayette Wednesday, where he delivered a powerful speech on the shortcomings and mismanagement of the democratic administration that has been in power for the past years, _, ■ : _ -- ' Mr. Goodrich’s, talk was of .a statistical nature and he gave many figures showing the difference between democratic inefficiency and republican efficiency. The address was confined to state issues and Mr. Goodrich showed more familiarity with the management of the state’s affairs than some governors who have gone out of office. In referring to the speeches of John A. M. Adair, his democratic opponent, Mr. Goodrich attacked the claims made by the democrats of giving the people‘the direct vote for United States senators and the liberal pension law for old soldiers. He declared them both *o be republican measures.
