A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at tbe conrt Loose to-night. Senator Tipton, of Nebraska, made an excellent speech. He vas lolloped by the Hon. James B. Jyan, who made a telling argument. Be reriewed the expense of Indian! under Republican rale, and compared them with Democratic management, and it was Indeed astounding io tne -whole and ie oca. He spike at length upon the school question. He made every Democrat feel proud that he belongs to the party that established the free school system in Indiana. His speech was forcible and to tbs point, all through, and was listened to with marked attention. HR. RTAS'l BKMARKS. ' Fellow-citizens: What means this vast assemblage of people to-nidht? Wnst means tbe oa pouring ol the masses ail over the state whenever opportunity occarsT There is a deep significance In these demonstrations of popular enthusiasm and exhibitions of popular sentiment. These results are produced by no ordinary caoses. Eminent men in the Republican party, whose fidelity to principle and integrity has never been questioned, look for no Improvement in public attairs, or in tbs retarn of prosperity, until there shall be a radical change In tbe adminietratlDn ol the government. Thermen are urging the people by the most convincing arguments and by the moat earnest appeals to make a change in tbe conduct of public affairs, not only in measures, but in tbe men to carry them out, as the surest way to correct tbe evils whico have caused depression in every branch of industry snd thrown out of employment thousands of artisans and ltborei, mn whose highest desire is to get work to obtain tbe means of a livelihood for themselves and their suffering families. And now thia question na'-urally endues: What has produced this condition of affair-? The main cause 19 the maladministration, tbe extravagance, tne profligacy, tbe frauds and corruptions which nave characterized the partv that has had control of tbe national government since tbe termination of tbe oivil war. Every Republican plat- i form constructed in tbe last eleven years has proclaimed in favor of reform and retrenchment. Tbe gr-at mogul of the Republican party in Indians boldly a-seried but a year ago that we had the best civil service in the wor.d, BUT THE EX-?. SORB OF THK ENORMOUS WHI-KY FRAUDS, the thievery of Belknap, the fortunes suddenly made by tbe special friends and favorites ot Secretary Robeson, ostensibly by enormous co jam ssions in the purchase of public proper y. the straw bids In tbe contracts tor the post office department, ,and tbe extravagnc. not to say corruption, wbicb has been tbe rule la every branch of tbe civil service, knocks that boast out of the nog. If time permitted, or tbe necessity existed, I could talk: to you for hours npon tbe-e subjects, but tney are the ones with whicn you hve bt-ea made familiarly acquainted. Even tbe present national R p jbiican platform declares that tbe pir y is In favor of reform, but what guaraute have tbe people that there will be reform and retrenchment, when tbe same men who controlled the convention that adopted the plat'orm have for years been proc a miog that tbe government baa been adminta ered economically and honestly? And recollect that not a s ep was taken towards tbe retrenchment of the E nolle expenditures and lightening the urdens of the people until tbe Democrat obtained a maj ,rty io tbe lower branch)! Congress. Nji until then was tbe prunin: knife used Is- lopping off uie ess and ex travagant outlays or tbe public fundi This fact must a aknowledged by all fair mindei men. Ye- tbe Democratic Hou? is denounced for this practical effort at re form by the Mortons, the Chandlers, aud the Cameron of the Republican party. And wh) f Because, my frleod it has exposed tbe extravagance and cor jptions of tbe lea era of the party in power, and cut off THIRIT MILLION D'LLARV WORTH OF REPUBLICAN Pa P. And it would have been forty millions if It had not been for tbe "loyal" Sanate If the majority In thai branch of Congress had bai tbe power to prevent it there would have been no reduction In tbe public expenditures and tue opportunities for jonoary aad thievery, so abundant in the past, would have been continued. H a'l toe prty which has been granted suco a longleae of pjwer made au annual reduction of thirty mlllioDs in tbe expenses of the government durli g tbe past lea years, as It easily could have done had it so desired, the nation would have been to-day five hundred millions of dollars better off. And if the reveuui department had not been defraud! of five buadred millions more by the Radical wblaky thieves and other, tbe public debt would bave been reduced at l-as. a thousand millions more than it has been. Who, let me ask, is responsible for this great waste of puolic money, but the party tbar has bad tbe control of the government during that period? Upon its shoulders must tbe responsibility reet. This can not be dispot -d. CONDITION OF THI SOUTH. And now, my friends, lt us look at the condition of affairs to day, la what are called the rebel state. While they were under the control of car pet- baggere, extravagance, corrnptl n, robbary and disorder were tne rule without a single exception, but mark tre contrast In tbe ordei of things sloes ins Democrats have again been placed in power in tbe most of those states I Disorder, vtolsooe and oppression, have been succeeded by peace and prosperity, and instead of profligacy, corruption and p'undering la all branches ot tbe state government, retrenchment, eonomv and honesty . bava been introduced. . It seems that tbe Rapuiticau leaders have but one idea, and that Is the perpetuation

of their party rule and tbe enrichment of themselves out ot tbe public treasury. Hence they cling with tenacity to high taxes, and are tbe unrelenting foea of retrenchment and economy. In tbe administration of the government they overlook one great tact, that restoration of .local self-government in the Southern statos has been followed by good order and thrift, and that an extension of this Im provement In tbe condition of tbe South will largely contribute to the wealth and prosperity of the whole country. If the great resources of the South were developed to the extent that thev can be, and would be undjr a wise national administration, her cotton, and rloe, and tobacco and sugar would soon turn tbe btlance of trade '.n our favor, for there is always a foreign demand for tbe surplus productions of thoss sta'es, ani O0LD WOULD FLOW INTO THE COUNTRT Instead of out of it, as has been and yet la the case under the shorl-sJgbtsd and wicked policy that has been pursued by the Republican party in Its opprenion of the people in that suction of the ltnd. B iore toe war the products of tbe South w s-re perhaps the grets: source or wea th to tbe couaTv, and so wjuld tney now be bad it not been for tbe carpet-bag rule which hs retarded tbe proper development of her vast resources and blUbted every efihrt to restore her former productive power. The Republican leadera can not or will not see that tbe more the South produces the more she will want of Northern productions. Oie great cause ot the present financial troub'es in tbe N?rtb is over-production, and that has bee a occasioned by tie lack of a market for for tbe surplus products ot her Industry. It tbe Republican embargo which has been placed upaa tee industry of tbe South were removed, tbe result would be ber speedy return to prosperity, which would soon open a large and increasing market for Northern productions, thus unlocking tbe wheels of trade, sending the life-giving current through tie great commercial arterle, and furniahtng employment for thousands ot worklngmen who are now idle and despondent. Bit the men who now have the control of the government will not permit this, and right here, mr friends, la ONB VEST STRONO ARGUMENT for a thorough change in the administration of the government, and la tavor ' of that wholesome reform which must come outside of the Republican party. This is the sort ot "reconstruction" the Souther a states are In need of to-day; aad not only the Southern states but every part of this tax-burdened, plundered and oppressed land. REPUBLICAN PLEDGES AND THEIR VALUE. What is the burdsa of the speeches of the great lights ol the Republican party, from Morton down to KHpttrick? The latter in bis recant letter to Hayes, the Republican nominee for the presidency, thus tersely, booe-t'y and forcloiy expresses it: he says nothing will save Indiana from a D-m tcra lc triumph but "a bloody eh ri campaign," and pienty of money to influ

ence th Ind-psndents,whoaa, hs sys"ara poor and needy," and to buy the p archaaable vote. Tost is tbs plain English of his letter. N w I ask you, my friends, what policy do the Republican lesders suggest to lilt the country ironi i s present depressed condition? Morton endeavors to ere te tbe Impression that all is lovely and prosperous. From whom does be get this impress' n? Is it from tne inen who ars obliged to earn their bread by the swot or thalr brows? Hi has put hlmielf forward ai tb9 letdsr of the Rsuublicai party, and 'or many years, at the beginning ot every canvass, be has endeavored to sound the kev-no'.e of tbe campaign for his parly. For fear that some one else might infringe npen his patent right in tost business, be left bis seat in thi Sana's just at ths close of tbs session of Ciogress, at the very tlms of a'l others when -he most important legislation bought opto sound his ompaigu keynote, or to give exor ssloa to wha'. hs onoJders wise thoughts upon political aliirs and to fore 3 a co-tiuuatloa of his leadership upon the pa ty. LAS POOR MORTON I The rebaks h- receive 1 at tbe CiasinoaM Convention should have taught him the value of a llttls mdesty. lis fondly expected to receive the nomination for the presidency. Thai has baen the summ t uf his ambition, tbe bright day-dream of his politics! lite. Bat while bis party friends have been willing to use him to further their ends, they hat no idea, much less lotentloa, of giving him that reward for b's partisan services. They pre 'erred a man who, though he has beld high offlsi-tl positions, has never given evidence of even mediocrity In ability or ha suggested or even advocated any measure that would reform the wrongs in tbe administration ot ths government, or r treuco the puolli expenditure. And if tbe people win t Gran tum in public affairs perpetuated, the election ot Hayes will bring atout that result. Ia it at all probable that Hayes, if he should be elected, will s-eer e'ear of the Chandlers ani Camerons of bin party, to whom he will b? iudrtb'.ed for bis election, and to whom ha will look for support to sustain his admlnln'rvioo? Saca ai ideals not only improbable; it is preposterous. WHERE RBF RM Mdll OOMB FROM. Now, my fr'eads, without making any dlstlnc:lOQ a) to party aocUtloas, I ask you what hops is tbjra of tbs Republicsn party reforming these abases? Is it not true that reform aud retreacamsat mast eoane frona without tne party tht bss hsd tha posss sin aa1 entire coairol of the govsraan.it daring the put e!e7en years? mat party hal the opportunity to rertrm and retrench, but what s.eo did Its leaders ever taka lu tha dre?tl)a? Nothing was dons u til th D moc-a:y obtained a ma jor tv in th1 lower b'ancn of Congress, and it must be re uemb rai that in their eft rts for tereachmuc they m9t with tbs steady opposition of tbe Ripndllcan lealers. Taey said you mast not cut down the appropriations recommended hy the heads of tbe various departments, because if yon do you will impair the pub'lo service. You will ca', down or cat off tbess'sries ot thousands a -d tecs ot thousands ol old mosbacks who hve oeerj psKging war at the publio crib fir lol these mnyy ars. Tnoss fellows, because they nave beenllvina; upon tha boaity of tbe government for years, think they bave pre-mpttoa riabt npon the public lands which must no. be d starbsd. Toe only thing they bave done Is to draw their rations from tbe treasury witb unvarying regularity, and contributa to tbe campaign fa ads of the party that has glvei them a mortgage upon the productive Industry ot t e nation. Jut think of It! There are 90.000 offlj'als' who are drawing money from the public treasury. Every one of toese is ioterest'H in tbe election ot Hayes and tbe continuation of Grantism. It is a vast bread and butter army, ani they will fight with desperation, and contribute from the

funds the funds that they draw from the hard earnings .of tbe people, for it is the produc Ire industry that fills the public treasury, to cultivate the present party power. They will understand that if there is a change In tbe government they must let go of the public teat and earn tbelr livlog by bonest labor. It is these powerful influences that the party of retrenchment and reform have got to meet in tbe coming elections, and only an uprising of the people who bars no other interest In public affairs than to secure a gocd gov

ernment and Its honest and economical administration, that will brio about tbe change necss jtry to s?cors these desirable ends. STATE POLITICS AND STATE AFFAIRS. But, my friends, I bave wan dered from tbe text npon which ( intended to make a few remarks, and my apology is, that where here is so much that can be said, it is difficult to leave unsaid the many things tbit suggest themselves when you give reasons tor a chsoge in tbe administra ion ot the govern ru-nt lu fac, they are coun'lesa as the grains of sands on tbe sa shore, as innumerable as tbe myriads of stars la tbs nrm iment. It was my in tention to spak to you mainly npon state pilltlo aid ata-e a öalrs. Twa years ag?, four years ago, aad six yars ago, not going farther bc, the Democracy promised you retreacimeat in tbe expanses of the ttate If they were placed in power. Tbe p ople gave them the opportunity, and nobly have they redeemed that pledge. I venture the assertion that the blstry of the state govern me a. will show that the Democrats, when in . power, bave always a) minist. red the state government more economically than bivs tholr politic J opponents wqsq thev bave hd the control of It. And as I go along, I will allude to tbe sobject for wbicb tbe Republicans claim tbe eo'e cbamp:oasbip. I refer to our educational syetiui. Indiana bas a magnificent echool fund, the largest of any state In the Union. The creation of that fund, so far ' as stats policy is concerned, was npon lbe suggestion ot Governor Whltcomb, onaot tbe leaders ol tbs Dsmooraoy. when be was a member of tne ate Senate. And tbe const. ;utiOl of Indiana, which Is a Democratic pro iuc ion provided fjr our pr sent system of public scoools, fiee from tbe con trol or iuflueico of any religious deaominstion. Democratic legislatures, too, set in operation and put into effect THS MAHD 4TB OF OUR CONSTITUTION in regard to commiu schools. How ridiculous, then, is the charge of the Republican leaders that that tbe Domociacy oppose education and the public schools. Their work best gives the lie to these m'serable slanders. An rather point in this connection. It us see about the great interact our It "publican friends manifest in our school system. A large amount of miner belonging to the school fund, $550 000, was kept by the Republican party six years away Iron whrre it should have gone to the support and maintenance of the pab'lj schools. Had this money baan at Interest, as It now N, the scbool fund would bave been $210,000 b9ttt-r or?, (a 1865 the sinking fund board was abolished, and the school fund, in care of the sinking fund . commissioner, waa transfered to tbe custody of tbs auditor ot state by a Republican legislature. This eacred fund, which our Republican friends shout so mU'b aoout, reinaluei under the control of tbs auditor ot stats during 1865 to 1871 six years in all. Now, wny wa not that sacred fund placed at interest or the bnefl;of tbe comann schools whlca our radical friends say tney love so much. Hsd this large amount ot money been loaned out as interest, as it is to-day, U would havs placed in the treasury, for the support of tbe pnblin schools in tbe six years named, nearly $250,000. Bat no, It was le!t tor the Democratic legislature ol 1871 to do that re'orm act by a bill Introuduced by tbe Hon. Jicqm D. Williams y )ur candidate for governor, directing the distribution of this fund among tbe counties according to pooulation, to be put at interest at tbe rate of 8 per cant. When this, fund was about to be distributed according to law by the then Democratic täte offlrs, tney were eijotned from s doing upon tne application ol the Repubcans of Marlon county, and THE REPUBLICAN COURTS OF THAT COUNTT sustained the application. The Democratic stueoffljers appealed from that decision, ani upon hearing the Democratic Sapreme C urt reverie! the dacislon of the Marlon County Court. This little lear of history s lows bo much luterest tbs Republics is feel ia the public scaools. A'tsr this decision by tbe Supreme Court, the fund waa rromp'ly dlstriau'ed through the counties of the state and placed at interest by tbe act of a Democratic legislature, and is now bringing to the soi k)I children or tie s ate moretbso $50.000 a year or 1250,000 in five years lac u nog 1876. Had our Roub icao law raktr ontrolof tbs leisla are in 1871 no d )ubi tuat large am unt or mney would still be tied up ia tne audit jr'a office bringing not one centot In erest to the support or tne free soiools, and or suco stuff are your Republican ref rm legislatures made. 1 will no g back but a tew yesrs to contract the expenditures of the Democracy nl the Republicans while controlling tbe state govern tent, and will show by th o intrast that tbs Dem cratlo pariy fulfilled Ua pledge to reduce tbe public expenses. It is not necessary or me to give you in detail tu aanatl expHwa f ir the ysars 1871, 1872 and 1873. but I will give viiu tbs . aggregates as shown bv tbe offl.'ial statement, aud coa'lsnge anyone to prove the fi;urds Ina rrect or misstated. In 1871 the net xnenBs iucludmg tho legislature, were $303.14 33. In 1372. the nt expenses, no legis l a are. were S646 803 38. In 1873 tbe net expnss, Includiug legislature, were 11,427 334 72, No h re ws htve a contrast of two years ot Dero oratio administration with one year of Republican government, AND MARK THE DIFFERENCE Both 1871 and 1873 were legislative years f but the government cost 1574,190 39 more in 1873 than in 1871. With these figures before you, Is it necessary for me to ask which is the party of retrenchment and economy? Tbe f xpsnses of the State government for one year of Democratic management were over half a million ot dollars less than they were dar in; one year of Republican management, aud both were legislative years. I oat tells the story. Comparing tbe expenses ol 1872 wltb those ot 1873, the former under Democratic and the latter under Repnrt. licsn rule, we find a difference of $780,52334 in favor of Democratic management of our state affairs. Let as make aootber c imparlson. Tne Democrats ran th state government for the vears 1871 72 for I,501 95 71, while f he Republicans ran np toe expense In 1873, one year, to $1,427,334 72. In other words, the Democra a onducted the government tor two 3 ears at a 00 t of only $74 615 99 more than it 00 t he Rt publicans to run tbe government for one

yir. Now, let us come down two years later and see if tbe Democratic party was true to tbe pledge of economy. From tbe official records the following contrast of expense appears, and ' I give them under proper beadlnvs: MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.

Fr m thes statements, and all are taaen ftom the official figures, I again ask you, my Rp 'bllcan and Independent friends, if the Democratic party has not demotistrated by their legis. ation, when they ba 1 tbe p iwer to ren'ate ni control public autlr, taa tbey are THE PARTY OF RBTHKNCHMKNT AND ECONOMY? Do not these figures show most conclu sively that the Democratic party la loya to the people, to the produc ng clas-es, whose industry is the wealta and power of the nation? In conclusion, I will add that the Democracy of the nation and of Indiana have presented to you candidates worthy of the support of all who desire to restore in public officials the honesty, fru gal tysni economy which characteriz e the fouudTs of tbe republic qua. lues which must ne revive 1 1f we hope to main tain RepuM'oao ins'ltutlons and re tire the roauirv to a state of general and Dar maneut prosperity. It is hardly necessary for me to speak of the candidates opoi our state tictet, as they are a'l wf 11 and favorably k own to the people of Indiana.

Be will make a dignified presiding officer of the Senate. a-d If he should be placed In a higher pos ton he will be equal to It in all respeots. I have not time, nor is It neces
