Lord Beacossfiel is anxious to have the Jews return to Judea, If Russia gets possession of the country the Rothschilds will contribute to the rets.ni of the tribes to their old home. The forty-eight buildings owned by the Young Men's Christian association in different cities have cost $2,000,000, or about $42,000 each. There are 100,000 members of the association, and 8,300 men were pro vided with work by these last winter. Be Bctleb grita his teeth and swears by a bushel of stolen spoons that he will make it hot for Hayes when congress meets. The world has witnessed many righteous retribu tions, but nothing better calculated to excite a lively interest than to see Ben Butler slaughtering radicalism. The greatest indignation was felt by both the white and colored people of Atlanta, Georgia, last week, when a young white girl was put in the chain gang. Her offence was trivial. She was young, modest and pretty. and the people censure severely the officials who thus forced her to stand the public gaze in such a degrading position. The sea dog of the Wabash has stumbled upon evidence that the navy department buildings were in danger of being destroyed by fire three times for the purpose of getting rid of the records. If he keeps on he wil find evidence of still greater deviltry enough to make any average republican turn democrat and thank God for the op portunity. SENATOR JIOKTO.Y AM) THE VEX HIOS AGEXCY. The reception of Senator Morton at the opera house a short time since demonstrated the fact that he is losing his hold upon the people, and the appointment of Genera! Knefler as pension agent shows that he is losing his hold upon the administration of Hayes. General Terrell has been a biower and striker for Morton for a generation. His political acumen has been utilized in furth ering the ambition of his patron, and his de votion to the fortunes of his chief has been as marked as was that of Ney to Napoleon Aman of fertile resources and of much ability in political manipulations, he has employed it all in building up and sustain ing his party chief. He seemed a necessity to Morton, and was brought from Washing' ton and given the Indianapolis pension agen cy, that he might be here to represent the senator in his absence. To him and Postmas ter Holloway.Senator Morton confided his in terests when not here to attend to them in person, and the pension agent discharged the duties committed to him with the servil ity due from a slave to his master. It is no wonder that Morton stood by such a friend. He determined he should continue to be pension agent and draw his $18,000 a year. A few days ago the Washington correspon dent of the Cincinnati Commercial tele graphed that journal that "Morton swears 'by all the gods in the Hindoo calendar that 'Terrell shall stay in if he has to sit astride 'his back to keep him in, and threatens if 'Buck is ousted to step over the line into 'Michigan, seize the state of Indiana by the 'upper edge, and 'up end' it into the Ohio 'river and dam it (the river). He thinks he 'has the power to do it" Uut it seems he has not "the power to do 'it.' His power is broken and he is unable to prolong the offlcia life of his trusted lieutenant. The blade of the guillotine is sharpened the ax is raised, and on the last day of this month the head of the pension agent wil fall into the basket' Senator Morton must be deeply chagrined over the appointment of General Knefler. It was made against his active opitosition and he can expect nothing from the new of ficiaL Indeed, if he does not have to combat the influence of the new pension agent in his hunt for the presidency, he will do well General Knefler is a good hater as well as a warm friend, and such a man is never neutral. He won the prize, although opposed by the senator, and this fact has demonstrated that the latter is not the omnipotent man his friends claimed him to be. When it is understood, as it soon will be, that a man can get an office In Indiana without (he Influence of Mr, Morton, General Knefler will find plenty of republicans to follow him should he conclude to go or the senator's calp.

THE BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS.

We have often stated, and as often proved. that the radical party destroys it never builds. The pathway of its march since it came into power is market! by wrecks as vividly as the track of the tornado. Its pol icy of contraction has been marked by bank, ruptcy. The figures are irrefutable. The great mass of the people have suffered and are still suffering in consequence of the fanatical ideas of such Gnancial mountebanks as McCullough, and repulsive lunatics as Sherman. The Washington correspondent of the New York Daily Bullefin Bays that Sheiman "sits back in his chair a very Rhadamanthus, or Minos, and tells inquirers to let him alone; that he knows bis business and everything is all right, that some day he will tell us all about it; which is all very 'well for him to say, and he means every word he says. Congressmen who come here 'say the country has a right to know his financial policy. Secretary Sherman answers 'that they will know in time, and, what is 'more, that he, himself,with his own mouth, will, through the entire press, tell them. There is no use talking further about his policy. He has none except contraction of greenbacks, and he is like the general of an 'army looking for the weakest place in the 'fort He promises to accomplish this in the best way he can without damaging business 'interests or doing violence to public senti 'ment. He is in favor of economy practices it; is in favor of accumulating gold practices it; is in favor of contracting legal ten ders practices that; and is in favor of farc'ing silver into circulation, which he also 'practices." The country is steadily yielding to the be lief that contraction is to go forward, and as a consequence of this capital is retiring from such enterprises as furnish employment to the laboring men of the country. Under such circumstances it need not surprise the thoughtful to witness a further shrinkage of values, an increase of bankruptcy, and the most intense distress the country has ever witnessed. Let it be borne in mind that' the situation is directly traceable to the policy and to the legislation of the radical party. The result of such a policy benefits the creditor class, but it is death to the debtor class. It makes the rich richer, and reduces the men of moderate means to poverty, and the poor to the condition ot starving paupers. Among the infamous acts of the radica party that which demonetized silver is con spicuous. The motive that prompted it was iniquitous, and its purpose was to bene fit the bondholder regardless of all honest considerations. To understand the demon itization business thoroughly itshouldbe re membered that from 1792 to 1873 (eighty-one years) the country enjoyed the benefits of the silver dollar. It was a legal tender with out limit and without inconvenience. On the contrary the double standard worked harmoniously and beneficially to all parties. The people demanded no change whatever. The gold coinage of eagles and fractions eagles, and at last, in 1819, gold dollars. brought about no conflict with the silver dollars. It has been the unit of value, the center of our monetary system, and thus it continued down to 1873. We have said that the people did not de mand the demonetization of the silver dol lar. The question had not been discussed, and the legislation that brought about the change and the disastrous consequences that followed was probably the most venal that disgraces radical legislation. Upon this subject the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: The legislative act which wrought this revo lution was literally smuggled through congress. Kxeept by Its title the bill was never once read In the house of representatives, it was reported to that body without any regular action of the committee to which its considertlon had ben referred, and without the knowledge of part ol its members. At every step of its movement toward passage by the house investigations Into the provisions of the bill were diplomatically avoided or adroitly thwarted. In the senate like tactics were pur sued, mere tne mil was once read in two disjointed portions on different da vs. Discussion was evaded. Inquiries were skillfully parried. The final vote was taken In the dark. Only a chosen few of either representatives or senators were Knowing to the real object and positive effect of the measure. Kven when It passed to the preside at for his sic nature Its meaning and design were unsuspected There was a vague impression in certain Quar ters that something was wrong, but those whose suspicions bad been excited could not point out anything amiss, because the bill had never been primed for the Information of memoers in eitner nouse, as Dent tea iu importance. From first to last, this bill, numer ous In Its sections and complicated In its pro visions, was conducted through the lab; rinthine windings of concealment, deceit, sn terfuge, and Imposition, thus partaking of the elements of a conspiracy and being an attack upon the general welfare. Indeed, several years passed away before the country whs made aware of the true meaning, design, and effect of the measure that had been so surrep titiously placed upon the national statute DOOK. In view of these facts the people will con tinue to inquire with increasing emphasis, Why was this measure brought forward and this iniquity consummated? There is bu one reply. It was to benefit the bond helder. The statement is not controverted The bonds of the government were made payable in coin, gold and silver. The bond holders objected to receiving the interest in silver. They wanted gold, and utterly re gardless of the law under which the. bonds were issued and sold, and equally regardless of the interests of the people, they sought to have the law changed and were successfu in the manner we have aVove stated and now in the face of the wrong that was inflicted upon the country by the demonetization of silver those who are the apologists of the swindle talk of the injustice of the remonetization policy. It is urged in some quarters that the United States shall make its monetary system conform to those of other commercial countries, without regard to the Injustice that may be imposed upon the people, and it is further urged that silver as a legal tender will in a few years be recognized only by such slow and semi-civilized nations as China and India. Be this as it may, and we are not disposed to give much weight to assumptions or assertions that owe their vitality to the purpose that would sacrifice the poor for the sake of the rich, and accomplish the wrong by

the most disreputable means, tbe fact

remains, as the St. Louis Republican very tersly states it, "that the only business the people of the United States have to do with their national bonds is to pay them ac'cording to the terms of the contract in join.' Silver dollars are 'coin' in the 'meaning of the law, and they may, there'fore, pay these bonds in silver dollars. It 'is none of their duty to appreciate the debt 'before they pay it by resolving to pay it in 'gold coin alone; that sort of gratuitous gen'erosity might be agreeable to the bond-hold-'ers, but it would be unjust to the bond-pay-ers; it would be more than the law requires 'besides. If silver is cheap, the fact is not 'the fault of the people; the cheapness is a fact which they have a right to take silvan'tage of in paying their national debt A debtor is fairly entitled to all the privileges 'the contract allows in paying his obligations; he can not be held bound for one dollar more thaa the stipulation calls for, nor be deprived of any option or liberty that it permits. But when the holders of our national bonds insist that the government shall pay these obligations in gold alone, worth 8 per cent, more than silver, they 'simply declare that the debtor shall pay '$1.080 for every $1,000 bond it owes on the '$2,000,000,000 of national debt and $100,000,000 besides." This the people are not disposed to do, and therefore demand that silver shall be remonetized and made a legal tender equal with gold. THE OUTLOOK. The contemplation of the situation from a democratic standpoint could scarcely be more gratifying to the liberty loving people of the country, without regard to their past party affiliations. It is irrevocably true that the radical party has been weighed in the balances and found wanting in patriotism honesty, ability; in fact, of every element of character required for the government of a free people. And it is equally true that, while there is an absence of everything that ennobles and dignifies' government, exalts human nature, and gives worth to a name and wealth to a people, there is found a inperabundance of all that is vile and uespicable in human nature and all that is venal in government With loud professions of honesty, the radical party has been the prolific parent of fraud, rising from bull pup bribes as a means of securing office from Grant through every gradation of theft, fraud, peculation, defalcation and perjury. until, under the protection of bristling bay onets, the climax was reached by counting in Hayes. While these things have been going forward the people have been looking on, contemplating the picture. Honest repub licans were loth to give up their partisan associations. They made excuses and apolo gies. They were unwilling to believe that their chosen leaders were thieves and con spirators; that their statesmanship was all embodied in the one word "self;" that their ambition was simply to plunder and to escape detection and punishment. But the facts were too numerous and overwhelming, They saw Grant playing Casar, appointing to office relatives and thieves without num ber. They saw the government debauched and its very foundation stones undermined They loved their country better than their party, and did not hesitate in their choice. They abandoned their party by thousands and by tens of thousands, and they are still abandoning it. A3 a consequence the people once more turned to the democratic party for help. The country was going to the devil. The hideous foot prints of crime were traced to every department and up to the main entrance of the white house, where Boss Shepherds and Babcocks, Belknaps and Robesons held audience with the president The revolution began. It took hold of the people north and south. Empire states wheeled into line, and amidst the wildest enthusiasm the "bloody shirt" the flag of the radical party, floating over such states as New York, Connecticut New Jersey, Indiana, Alabama, Mississip pi, North and South Carolina, Louis iana. West Virginia, Arkansas and Florida was hauled down, and the ensign of freedom, that symbolized honesty and re form, liberty and fraternity was flung to the breeze. In other states that voted for Grant and radicalism in 1872, as, for instance, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois, California, Oregon, Ohio and Pennsylvania, radicalism barely maintained its foothold, and was virtually defeated in the campaign of 1876, Nor is this all. The democrats have carried two houses of representatives and have al most obtained a majority in the sen ate. Twenty-two states out of the thirty-eight have democrats for governrs. and to-day the revolution which is to sweep radicalism from power into eternal obscurity, is gaining strength. Here, then, is the out look. It is well calcu'ated to inspire the democratic party with courage. The radical jlarty is virtually dead. Morton's open letter did not heal its wounds. It has given birth to Hayes, and the country can endure no more such monsters. In Ohio the party is going to pieces. Blaine stands ready to bludgeon Hayes in the senate. In Fennsyl vania the Camerons are on the war-path and the radical . hopes are flickering in their sockets. Conkling, of New York, stands ready to unsheath his shining blade and slash away at "Hayes's policy." Garfield, cheated out of the senatorship and speaker ship by Hayes's promises, is as full of venom. as an egg is of meat ; Butler is out hunting for scalps. The entire tribe of carpet-baggers, like buzzards around a dead carcass, are ready to pounce down and with beak and claw dig out the eye balls of the party. Chamberlain and Packard are telling to sympathizing friends their returning board services, and Wendell Phillips, Garrison and the rest are howling for blood. The democratic party, selfpoised, conscious of the right, ready now as ever to uphold the constitution and bring back the government to pristine purity, is lull of hope. The people arc putties their

trust in its principles as their only hope.

The outlook is auspicious, and when next the campaign begins, victory will again flash along the lines, and the verdict of the people will not be reversed by returning boards. WAR WITH MEXICO. The latest advices from Mexico give assur ances that that government will co-operate with the government of the United States in putting a stop to cattle thieving on the Bio Grande. This is tiniefy, and leaves no excuse for Rutherford, the fraud, to declare war against a sister republic. Accounts of the raids of Mexicans into Texas always come via Washington. The Texas papers are wonderfully reticent upon the subject; in fact they scarcely mention it at all, and the dispatches are equally silent Singular as it may appear, Washington is full of accounts of raids. The infa mous creature with the brand of Cain upon his brow calls his cabinet togeth er once or twice a day to discuss the question of Mexican raids. He is anx ious to get up some excitement for the purpose of diveiüng attention from the fact that he is a presidental lie, a presidential fraud, a presidential crime, a presidential perjury, a deep, ark and damning blot upon the good name and fair fame of the country. He wants to Increase the array. General Sherman wants to increase the army. According to Sherman and other distin guished radicals, we can not have a republi can government w'thout an army. Sherman was in sympathy with Grant and Packard, J. Madison Wells and Morton. An army is a good thing to have when an infamous plot is being perfected to rob the people of their votes, and any move that looks to the reduction of the army is, according to radical authority, a proposition to abandon a republican form of governmei L The late Indian war, that has cost the country many '.precious live and millions of money, was an outgrowth of radical scoundrelism. Radical ism robs, steals, plunders, no matter what It would rob a church or a graveyard. Rad icalism has no conscience. It robbed the poor negro. It robbed poor Lo! It robbed the revenues. Radicalism steals. Rad icalism is destitute of truth, honor, con science, soul, and radicalism wants an army to protect thieves. It sent soldiers to South Carolina, to Florida and to Louisiana, in each case to protect thieves robbers,, plunderers, conspirators beetle browed villains who ought to be hung or in the penitentiary and final ly succeeded in placing Rutherford, the fraud, in the president chair. Rutherford.the fraud, wants troops, and to create an ap parent necesssity for them, the Mexican question is being forced into promi nence. We have the announcement of outrages, but the particulars are not furnished. The people who are to pay the expenses are kept in profound ignorance. Evarts, Rutherford's attorney-at-law, writes tremendous dispatches, and General Ord is commanded to go to war. It is worth while. just at this juncture, to remember that a filibustering expedition is being organized to pounce down upon northern Mexican states, the only question being, will the govern ment give its consent? The most graphic ac counts are given of the spoils that can be secured. It is safe to say that Rutherford, the fraud, can be captured without difficulty in this way. The office he occupies means to him as it did to Grant and as it does to all radicals so much money, bull pups, houses, lands, stocks, profits in gold gambling, in bond?, and in stealings generally. If piracy upon the northern states of Mexico can be made to pay. it is a fore gone conclusion that Rutherford, the fraud, will wade in up to his chin. Besides, a war with Mexico will for the present direct attention from the crime in fact the group of crimes by which he become president. Evidently such considerations have weight in the cabinet Mexico is too poor and too weak to fight She can't resent the Invasion of her territory. She has no purpose in provoking the United States. Her policy is peace. But Rutherford sees a chance to steal something. The southern states no longer afford a field for carpet-baggers to forage. Democrats are standing guard over the treasuries of the southern states.- Hampton and Nicholls in South Carolina and Louisiana are reconstructing things, and radical thieves have to stand back. A war with Mexico would afford an opening for radical dead beats, for a swarm of carpet-baggers, who must steal or starve, and a war would be l&. godsend to them. The people, how ever, do not want a war with Mexico. This country does not re ouire a great standing army. it is in direct opposition to the genius of our insti tutions. The volunteers in time of danger are ample security, and the democrats of the country can not do a better service than to insist that the army shall be reduced. The Mexican nonsense is for the purpose of in creasing the army. Sound sense and a proper regard for the welfare of the country demand that it shall be rednced. . . KOTES AND OPCIIOSS.

Masonic hail was crowded to overflowing on Friday night to do honor to Governor Hendricks and to bid him good-by before taking his departure for a three months visit to Europe. In response to the speech of the Hon. D. W. Voorhees, the governor said: GOVERNOR HENDRICKS'S ADDRESS. Mr. President, my Friends and Fellow Citizens A 1 1 he close of t he con test of last year and at the close of my official service as gov ernor of the state I found myself much worn out In puyslcal strength, and I thought I would devote fully six months to rest and see ing what I might of other parts of the world that so far I had never seen, and so I decided to make with my wife a short trip to portions of Europe. t Upon my departure I am overcome with this demonstration or respect on tne part or my fellow citizens applause , ana 1 have no lan guage at my command which shall enable me to express the profound sentiments that nil my heart to-night. I have never encountered such a demonstration as this. In my political contests I have had something with which to contend, but this seems to be an expression of confluence and respect, berore which 1 Know of nothing that I can do except to make my bow. ADDiause.i Mr personal friend who has addressed you and has addressed myself has referred to my do one lire, lie has spoken somewhat or tne success which has attended my efforts in life. This evening in speaking to my friends'in Shelby county I expressed the sentiment that has always governed me. When I went to school when I was a young man among the young men of BhelbyvLle when 1 was a member In the legislature, very inexperi enced, indeed when in the constitutional convention, in the old hall that once occupied this ground as a member of congress. in either branch and nnaiiy as govern r of the state, my rule was TO DO THE BEST I COULD. Applause. And it any success has attended my efforts in life 1 attribute it to the observance of that rule whatever I had to do, to do it as well as I could. And I return my thsnks to the eloquent gentleman for the assurance he has given me that any efforts I may have made In public lue are s me what appreciated by the people of Indiana and as I make ray Journey, as I turn my back lor a short time npon my home and fellow citizens and expect to look upon the institutions that govern other people than those with whom I have always been associated, it la a pleasing reflection that I leave behind me the good feeling of the men who know me. Applaue. And, indeed, as a man stands upon tne summit of the hill of life, and looks behind ana downward some what, there is notmoch else to contemplate with pleasure. He can not carry much of the goods or this world with him; but as he goes onward and onward toward the close of life the richest thing that he cau carry with him and down to the verv veree of the grave is the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens, f Applause.! And the assurance that to smeestentl enjoy that among the people of Indiana is the richest gem that I esteem in life, Vehement applause. I have had my contests. I have been thrown somewhat into the political strifes in Indiana and they have been no ordinary strifes that have been made In this state; the party lines have been closely and tightly drawn, and the contests have been very earnest, very positive, very determined on both sides: the tendency has been to make the men of the respective parties very bitter towards those of the other side. 1 nave experienced mat somewhat not very much I think and why is it? Because I have never oarrled It myself. I lmve never in tbe political contests into which I have been tnrown cameo along with me a personal prejudice, a bitterness toward the men of the other side. lApplausc.l I conceded it to any gentletran who occupied a different position from myself politically the absolute right to occupy that position. I have never questioned lt. 1 conceded that right as I claim -d it for myself, and only one senti ment has governed me, and that was, be lie V' iuir that the side I occ mied was right. I advo cated it with all my might according to the principles ot honor and right, f Vehement aunHuse.1 The, presiding officer 01 this occa sion has referred to the fact that If the vote of the people had been regarded I would occupy the iiositlon to which I was nominated last veir. I Applause. I . Ofthat I have no mora doubt tnuu that uovernor Williams was elect ed governor of I ndiaua. Applause. But at the same time Justice requires tne to say that It t he decision had been left to t he great body of the people of both parties, the decision of the ballot-box truly rriMie would not nave been reverted aud defeated. ( Kpplause.l I believe that to-night It is a subject of regret to thousands of gentlemen wno uia not ana would not vote for me who did not and would not vote for Oovemor Tilden a subject or profound regret that tne damaging blow has been given to American instii.utions. (Ureat applause. And I would not refer to it in anv parti zan spltil except to say this-That hereafter the man who is elects president of the United Htates by the voice and Judgmen of the American people MUST BE INAUGURATED fWi'l applause. There is no circumstance connected with this meeting more gratifying to me and you, permitting me to say it, than the fact that a very large delegation has come Dp to this meeting from the county of tSbelby. They have known me longer than the people of Indianapolis have. They knew me a good many years ago as a boy among them. Then they knew me as a young man, with whatever of ambition I may have bad then. Then they reposed confidence in me and made me one of the law makers In the state; and then again, as my friend says, they made me a member ot the constitutional convention of the stale, and Shelby county contributed very much to make me a member of congress. Why, I may say that whatever of success I may have had In life In any large degree I owe to that county, and nothing will ever make me forget lt. I can not forget it, and although, my fellow citizens of IndNnapoI a and of other counties who may be bete, for you I have a great respect because you are a part of the people of this great state, Lr the people ol Slieiby oouuty I have

an undying love. Applause. And I know of

noiocamyin me united States where th principles of the democratic party, where tlx viiucipm ui geuenonian republicanism, are better understood or more earnestly vnr. shipped than In the county of 8he!hy. My fellow citizens, this occasion does not ca.ll for a lengthy speech fromme. As I said oeiore, 11 uenianas rrom me a bow, the expression of the feelings which your partiality on this occasion naturally excites. x expect, to see oilier lands with la the next three months. I expect to see countries that are governed by laws and' institutions to which we are strangers, and In respect to which I hope we shall always be strangers. Applause. And it was with pleasure that I anticipated the opportunities of making a comparison between the institutions or my own country and of the condition of the people under those institutions with the institutions of other lands and ot the condition of the peopl under those institutions. From England we derive to a large entent oursvfctom of laws. In France we had a friend in the time of the revolution. Applause. It was Lafsvette who stood side by side with George Washington. Applause. From Germany and Ireland we have a poweiful element in our own society. These countries I hope to see. But In advance I could never hope to see a country whose Institutions are to be compared with our own. But the value of our institutions depends upon the care with. which the people guard them. If we allow our institutions to go into chance and out of the guardian care of the Judgmeut and will of the piple they will soon become no better and perhaps worse than the Institutions ol other countries. Applause.l And if vou would allow me one single expression of the duty that devolves upon the people of the state of Indiana It would be this: That you and I, without respect to political faith, should stand by the constitution and laws and the institutions of the country, and allow no political authority and no political scheme whatever to defeat the purpose of any one of the provisions of the constitution or of the laws of the land. Applause. 1 I expect to be absent about three months. That will not give me an opportunity to see very much of the world, bat It will be the first time that I haveever looked upon any sky except that ot America. It will be the flnt time that I have ever looked in foreign lands upon the people governed by their institutions, and In that respect it is an opportunity that I prize very highly. I thank you, my fellow c tlzens, and I tbauk you, (turning to the men on the stage) for the expressions of regard and esteem that I have received from you to-night. I stiall uever forget this night so long as memory presides in my brain. Applause and cheers. ' Mr. Voorhees being called upon again., said: This is very kind, gentlemen, to give me a second call, and I appreciate it with all my heart. I had a certain duty assigned to me to-night that I have done as well as I could ; OJe of those delicate duties that Is so personal in its relations that it is difficult to perform. I have followed the banner of the democratic party through many and many a hard fought contest. I have never for one moment faltered in its support, because I believed It sheltered the best interests of this country.. I look npon the democratic party as the party of the people, the party of the Interests of the country, the party to build up enterprise and give labor to those out of employment by fostering enterprises of n industrial character. I look upon it as the party of equality, as the natural foe and enemy of monopoly in all its shapes and terrible forms in which it has cursed the world, applause aud for that reason, heart and soul, I have gone with you and struggled with you. I have gone down in defeat, In gloom.in darkness, bitternessnd almost death at times. I have again seen it come np to triumph over its enemies. I followed it last year in a contest that will be memorable always in the annals of the state of Indiana. With the gallant governor of the 6tate, who has been in your midst to-night, we triumphed. We beat them on the stricken field of Indiana. It was the proudest day of my life. We triumphed all over thi nation, and instead of our friends being In the minority, and instead of it falling into the power of our enemies to say that we did not represent the majority of the people of the United Stales, tne people 01 me united (States, by a quarter of a million majority, said that Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks were president and vice president of the United States. Applause.J Fraud and falsehood, chicanery baser than I can And words to express, cheated, robbed and defrauded the American people of their right to the choice under the constitution aa certain as there is a Ood in Heaven tonight. Cheers. No such wrong cau go always unredressed ; the hour approaches when that battle is to be fought over again. Wrong has triumphed, aud I know how the hearts of the democracy feel on this subject by my own. It was sore and full of a sense of bitter disappointment. But do not be discouraged, do not be demoralized, as your enemies suspect you to be. Do not feel like the soldier who has beeu driven from the field of battle. Once, Just once in a hundred years of American history just once in one entire century have fraud and crime invaded tne judiciary of your country and cheat d the American people of their choice of their public officers. It has been done but once in a hundred years of American history, and it seemed to to come at the centennial year as it was to emphasize the fact that it took KW years for human depravity to accumulate and concentrate itself into a climax of such crime against the rights of tbe people as was perpetrated last year. But what I want to say more than anything else Is, Stand Heady, men,thls thing is to be fought over. Once in 100 years nave they done this thing never - again In 509 years shall they have an opportunity to repent the wrong!. Applause and checes Every man is on his guard from this on. Let there be uo mistakes about Ulis. Henceforth every mau will do picket duty most vigilantly to see that the verdict of the people passed in tbe ballot-box Haan im COUHW5U wueiutr 11 is uone vy supreme J udges, electoral commissions, or anybody else by honest men ; and In the long run good will come of this evil. It is a warning for all the years that are in tbe future for tbe American republic. It is a warning bung up in blazing letters in the vault of the sky for all future generations to be on their eoard te see that in the name of liberty, so long as liberty is worth preserving, that nosuch crime is suffered again to be committed while tbe pillars of the republic endure. I say Be not discournged, be not dismayed, be not demoralized, for the time approaches when this contest between the highest interests of men, democrats as well as republicans, who know now that election went, and fraud is to be fought over agan. Truth is stronger in man's heart than falsehood, and every democrat in .the land and every conservative man will feel strengthened and nerved by the truth In his heart to set things right and correct this mighty Injustice that has been done, and In our sphere we will do our duty in Indiana in the next contest which takes place, and the beginning of wlilc.i will be sounded In the next li months from now. I am not making a political speech to-night, but I will promise ou this; I have made some severe canvasnes in my day. When the roll is called a year from now expect meto answer promptly to my name. Applause. And if I do not meet the people of Indiana- In as nearly every county aa any man .ever did, and present as carefully the facts for their consideration about the public servica ss injny power, it will be because life and strength are not granted me. I may not make many more canvasses, but the next one, gentlemen U)8 next one we will all try 10 Improve on the best ones that have yet been, made. I thatik you for your attention to me this evening.
