Thomas A. , ' ' , -. Hendricks. Much Enthusiasm and General Good Peel . ing Manifested by . the Delegates. Speeches by Hons. T. A. Hendricks, Francis T. Hor d, Franklin Landers , Colonel Isaac P. Gray and Others The Platform. The Democratic State Convention met Wednesday morning at Indianapolis, and was called to order at 11 o'clock by Colonel B C. Shaw, Chairman or the State Central Committee. By 10 o'clock the large Wigwam 'was a perfect jam, and no little difficulty was experienced by the Committee selected to seat delegates to accomplish the task delegated to them by the State Committee. In calling the Convention to order, Colonel Shaw said: U entlemen The time has come that was appointed by resolution or tbe State Central Committee for the meeting of the State Democratic Convention. We are here for the purpose of performing the high duties of selecting the gentlemen who shall be standard bearer In the Democratic party In the coming campaign in the S täte of Indiana, and for selecting gentlemen who will represent tne Democracy of Indiana at tne Cincinnati Convention, soon to be held. I Applause. J Yon have assembled here in vast multitudes, attesting the devotion of the Democratic party to the principles of the same, and it is hoped, during the progress of this Convention, thai every gentleman not a delegate who ha been honored with a seat in this Convention will do bis utmost to pirwrve order, tnat all may have a fair kbow in the organization and In the business of the Convention, f A voice, "Amen !" Laughter. I am directed by the State Central Committee to nominate for temporary Chairman Uon. Francis X. Hord, of Bartholomew County. At the conclusion of Colonel Shaw's re marks.jJames H. Rice. Secretary of the State Committee, called the roll of Counties, showing full delegations present from euch. Hon. Francis T. Hord, of Bartholomew County, was then proposed for the posi tion of TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN, and was elected unanimously. Mr. Hord was introduced to the Convention, and was received with cheers. He said: Gentlemen the Convention I must return mj acknowledgements to yon tor the honor with which yon have distinguished me, and by your Intelligent co operation I trust that I may be able to perform the duties that yon have Imposed upon me. We are now on the verge of one of the most important and heated contests that baa ever marked our political history. Already the air is tremulous with the reverberations of tbeprepara tlons for tne contest, and our ears are fllled with the rambling of the marshaled and approaching hosts, and this august band of patriots has assembled to select its captains for the fray. Applause. It is a contest between free government and the greedy encroachments of a remorseless power. It is a contest for the consummation of power at Washington, and the proper and lawi ul distribution of that power among the people. Applause. It Is a contest for a free ballot and a free election, as opposed to the supervising power and blighting control I of partisan Marshals and Federal officeholders. Applause. It Is a contest of freemen as opposed to despotic restraint. It is a contest of the Eepnblic against the Empire. Applause. Our- fathers, gentlemen, purchased our form of government by struggle, by blood. They proceeded from Inj urtes to arms, from arms to liberty and from liberty to glory applause, and freemen as we are, we will not sutler the Iron hand of power to smite that liberty and no cloud to darken or obscure that glory cries of "Never! never!", and without that liberty, to you as free men gold has no power, birtn has no distinction, station has no dignity, country has no charms. Gentlemen of the Convention, we have the appalling spectacle before ns of a great party In this country that has lived for fifteen years by the sensational traduction 01 tne soutnern people In our Southern States. Detraction and prejudice have been their hope and their fruition, but, thank Uod, it has been the office of the Democracy to bear to this faction Norm and South, the olive branch seeking to right down contests and, factions, and ' seeking to plnck from the North and South the sorrows that All our memories, and to blot out the troubles that are t written between them and tnat nave divided and distracted the country. The Democracy. thank Uod. have united the country Into one iTnlon.with one flair above ns. ind seeklnar a common destiny. The Democracy has said to the North forgive and reconcile, and we have said to the South concede, yield to the just dominion of the law, and we have said to botn von have a common Uod In a common conn ' try, while the one commands yoa to love the i other kneels to yoa for peace. Applause. Four years ago we had an election In this country, but the leprosy of fraud has poisoned the blood of this Republic, and yesterday the Republican party nominated a man for the Residency who was conspicuous In his in famy as a member of that Electoral Com mis alon that fastened that blot, that damning stain, upon the escutcheon of the country applansel, and by his action we have a man Holding the office of President by fraud and by peculation. They have nominated a man ' who has been notoriously stained with tne Credit Moblller frauds, and for the Vice President they have selected a man whom Hayes, as polluted with fraud as he is. regarded as too corrupt to stand ; In his presence. We have a man in Indiana ' long continued applause, who can be and will be the next President of the United States applause : hl banner will be seen in the thickest of the conflict: he will bear our colors through the smoke and storm and roar of the ' conflict, and when we elect him, by the help of Uod we will Inaugurate him. bong continued applause. We are here to select a State ticket. Let all dissensions and divisions cease, and let us be one united phalanx, and victory will be with as next Novemoer. we nave wary adversary to meet, but by meeting him boldly we can defeat him. I nave said more than I anticipated when I arose, and I trust that by your co-operation this day I will be able to perform my duties as temporary cn airman. of this meeting. During the remarks of Mr. Hord, the can didacy of Governor Hendricks was incident ally mentioned, when a cheer was sent up . by the vast crowd that almost shook the building, and which was prolonged for fifteen minutes. Judge Lowry, of Allen County, moved " that the Convention procsed to the appoint J men t of a Chief Seargent-ai-Arms, with power to appoint assistants, which was carried, and , Charles A. Munson, Ol f ort Wayne, was se lected. The Committee on PERMANENT ORGANIZATION, ' consisting of Colonel Charles Denby, Vanöerburg County; Hon. Abraham Nollette, Orange County; John Benz, Crawford Coun ty; James B. Foley, Decatur County: George B. Allison, Brown County; W. H. Beck,

Fayette County; Austin H. Brown, Marion County; G T. B Carr, Grant County; John F. McHugh, Tippecanoe County; Fred Hoover, Jasper County; Samuel A. Schoff, Jay County; Theodore Reed, DsKalb County; Arthur Thompson. Marshall County, made the following report: Oestlk men Your Committee have selected for permanent Chairman Hon. Thomas A Hendricks; for permanentBecretary, John W. Kern, Howard County. For delegates at large to the National Convention, Hons. Joseph E. McDonald, Daniel W. Voorhees, Win. E. Nlblack and James R. Slack. For Presidential electors, Hons. David 8. Gooding and John R. Coffroth. . Tne following important rules were reoommended by the Committee for the com Id e rati on of the Convention : 1. That each representative delegate In this Convention selected by primary Conventions held in Counties. Townships or Wards shall have the right to east his individual vote on all questions and nominations. 2. That in case delegates have been selected solely by a County Convention, and such Convention shall have adopted a resolution directing the delegates to vote as a unit, the vote of Buch County Bball be counted as a unit on all questions of nominations. 3. Nominations of candidates to be balloted for RhaU be made by simply announcing the name without any speech whatever. 4. In calling the roll of Counties they shall be called alphabetically .and each County shall vote when Its name Is called, and no County shall be parsed until its vote is announced by its Chairman. The report was adopted. SrKECH OP HON T. A HENDRICKS. Following this report, Hon. T. A. Hendricks was introduced amid a storm of applause, and stepping to the front of the platform, said: Gentlemen of the Convention It was not until a late hour last night that I was informed that I was expected to preside over your deliberation. I am not prepared, as a consequence, with any address to you upon tbisocca&ssons. I thank yoa for the i onor you do me In calling me to this position. I will undertake to discharge Its duty with Impartiality, and I put each member of this Convention on his duty and his allegiance to the great Democracy of the country that yoa shall help me to preserve order all the time. Everything is auspicious :I felt It when I stood beside the polls this spring at the April election, and 1 felt It yesterday as the streams of men came from the North, and the Southend the East, and the West to consider the interests of the country. I know It now, when I meet a Convention such as Is here presented, coming from almost every neighborhood in the State, a Convention of men that are interested in the public we'fare and in the public hoaor; a Convention in numbers surpassing anything ever seen In the State of Indiana. 1 know that victory will set upon your banners. They nominated a candidate I will say a ticket; it would not be right to omit the last of that ticket on yesterday at Chicago. I take it that that ticket represents fairly the average strength of the Republican party. Ijaaghter and applause. In every respect I think it is so, and you and I, brother Democrats, don't lean upon the weakness of the ticket nominated yesterday. We lean upon the strength of the indomitable Democracy. Some sad things took place at Chicago. I Laughter and applause. 1 know you think 1 am referring to the many truths they told upon one another. That is not exactly it. Yesterday the Republican party laid away forever the grim yisaged warrior and the Plumed Knight of the East together. Laughter. To4.ay they lie in the obscurity of defeat. The Republican party has said to the Nations of the world, that did General Urant uncommon honor, that he is no longer worth y

of sitting at tne bead of National affair? aDDlauael. and It was no uncommon thing when that statement was made to mankind that General Grant was no longer worthy of support in the National Republican Convention. I Applause. I l have heard Democrats for the last two or three weeks inquiring who Is the weakest man at Chicago. I care not for that repeat to you, I care not for that. The last election when Tilden and Hendricks were elected long continued applause) there was a majority on the Democratic side of the white voters of the United States of 1JXW.0U0 of men. Of the whites and blacks together there was a majority of more than one-iourtn or a million. Applause. When we meet In Cincinnati to respond to Chicago we meet with the assurance upon our side that we have this strength, this power, tnls sentiment of the American people on our side applause J, and 1 take It 'or granted that the great Convention of the 22d of this month, representing the Democracy of this Nation, will so organize onr party as tnat success wiu attena tne contest in November; and now, as I announced to you that this Convention is organized and ready for the transaction of business, I ask of each of you that yoa shall assist in good faith and very earnestly in maintaining order in this assem bly to-day. Applause.j Governor Hendricks then took the Chair, and called for the report of the Committee on Credentials. The Chairman stated that the Committee was not quite ready, and asked for further time, which was granted. Hon. David Tnrpie, Chairman, made the following report from the Committee on - resolutions: 1. We, the Democracy of Indiana, in Dele gate convention assembled, congratulate tne Democracy, of the country a pon the harmony prevailing within its organization, ana a pon Its unanlmnlty in the purposes to cast behind it every occasion and sentiment of discord. and we give assurance to the Democracy of uv4 w ovuu sw vu v siiTiis sa Duvwno a AM wv the country that, accepting the declaration of principles, and purposes, that may be made at Cincinnati, and the candidates wbo may be there chosen, we will give to them our earn est and undivided support. we oeiieve tnat laws snouia oe enactea, executed and administered only for the public good, and all class legislation, ana ail fa vorn Ism In the affairs of Government, should be defeated and mads odious; that taxes should be levied Justly, and the most rigid economy Bhouid control public expenditures: that the elections must be freed from the control of the army, and of partisan officials, in that they shall be fair and honest as they once were; that the rightful Jurisdiction of the State Courts must be restored, In all cases where it has been usurped by the Federal autnority. so tnat justice may be aaminis tered cheaply and speedily. 3. The coin and paper money of the conn try should be of uniform value, and readily convertible, and should have as ereat pur chasing power as the money of other nrstciass commercial countiies of tno world, ana the paper money, like the coin, should be furnished by the United States, and should not be in excess or sucn quantity as will be, and emam always, at par with coin. 4. Inasmuch as the outstanding Treasury notes are no longer necessary to the Government in the use of Its credit, and are useful only as money, they should be made subject to taxation, tne same as otner money. As tax-payers, we declare our gratification at the action of the Democratic members of Congress in reducing public 1 ex pendlture, and in cutting oil - ' the allowance and payment of questionable and fraudulent claims, resulting in a saving to the Treasury of more than tlOO.UOO.OUU, 5. We will stand with all our might against the aggression oi tne Republican leaders upon the rights of the States, made for the purpose of building up a strong central power, danger ous to tne lioerty or tne people. We will In all fidelity maintain the Const! tutlonal rights and powers of the United States, and as faithfully we will maintain and vindicate the rights of the States as reserved to them in the Constitution. 6. The Legislature of 1X7 is entitled to hon orable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 1876 to provide by law for the comfort and safety of 1 borers in the mines, and for securing their waget io tne persons employed by cor poratlons, and we are in favor of such further legislation in tne premises as may oe neces sary and proper. We congratulate the peeple of the Bute that by the action of tne Democrats of the last Legislature in basing representation on popu lation and contiguity of ter ritory' only, the ihame and taint of fraud have been removed from the apportionment of representation, and that bow the people will be equally and fairly represented. 7. The people of Indiana are lastly proud of tneir System oi rree scaoois, ana win maintain them in their full force and usefulness, and to that end we must see to it that the manage men t thereof does not become wasteful or ex travagant, and that no part of the munificent fund which they nave provided snau be used lor sectarian or lor any otner purposes wuat ever than the support of common schools. 8. We are gratified that the Democrats In

Cengress have acted in respect to bounties ai

pensions for soldiers ana ineir. lamuies in bb spirit of J ustlce and liberality. 9. We hold up to public detestation the errduct of the leaders in the Republican party ti placing Hayes and Wheeiex, by criminal protices snocaing to every nonem sentiment u damaging to our Institutions, -in offices to which they 'were not' eiecvea.- n was hi outrage upon free government, and a arias against the elective franchise that can not te forgiven, ahd must'not be repeated, and fff which the guilty parties roast be rriYen fTn power and consigned to Infamy. And we bii up lo public aeteBtauon tne conuuet oi jn Rresldent in rewarding the guilty parties ry conferring upon them nig a and lucratHe offices. To reward crime is Itself criminal. 10. During the past few years our county has been blessed In a high degree with favor ble seasons, and the production of our valuabs staples has been enormously In excess of o r own consumption. We have sold to forelp countries many hundred millions more thn have pu-renasea irom litem; goia ana siivr has come to as; business confluence has ben restored, and we nave tne nope and promise;! good times again. . In all this we recognize tie blessing oi uoa upon our country, ana we o noance It as false and blasphemous when prtlsan leaders claim that this is the work 7t their hands, and that the people should e thankful to them and ' cot grateful to Heavn for our returning prosperity. 11. We approve the sentiment expressed y Governor Hendricks in his letter of accejtance in 1876, that "the iniquitous coolie sysun which, tnrougn tne agency or wealthy comanies Imports Chinese bondsmen, establisbe a species of slavery, and interferes with the J st reward oi laoor on our racinc coast, Bnouuioe utterly abolished " 12. Our State administration Is entitled to the respect and support of the popie. Tic government of Indiana is efficiently admidsterea, ana more cneapiy man tnat oi my other State. IS. That we recognize the right of coloed citizens as well as white to immigrate into ndiana, but we condemn and denounce the icUon or tne Republican party in lmportng Into this State pauper negroes for the sole parpose oi using tnem as voters. 14. we nereoy instruct our delegates to sie National Convention at Cincinnati to premnt to that body the name of Thomas A. lltsdrlcks as a candidate for President of .he United States, one who has at all times rath fully maintained the cause of Democntic truth and Justice acceptably to the Democncv of the whole Union, thus assuring the electon of a Democratio Legislature and United Sutes Senator in 1881, and a fresh, pure and constitutional administration of the Geaeral Gov ernment. 15. We favor the continuance of the tvothlrdsruleln the National Convention, tnd the delegates this day chosen are hereby In structed to vote for Hon. Thomas A. Hen dricks as our candidate for the Presidency, tnd to vote as a unit on au questions in said con ventlon. The report was accepted and adopted. A Delegate objected to Democrat stand ing in the aisles, when Governor Hendricks responded: "There are too many Democrats; that's the trouble." Tbe Committee on Credentials reported that there wss nothing before them ind asked to bs discharged. Carried. Rev. kj H. Prosser, D. D.. pastor oi the First M. E. Church South, of this city, folowed in the following . invocation: Almighty Uod. Father of all. Lord Jesus Christ, Ruler of all ru ers, Governor of all gov ernors, in whose hands are tbe issues of life, the interests oi peoples and nations, we com mit and commend to Thy care the business transactions of this Convention. We ask that God would bless this people, and in their se lections and wise choice of the men whom they may select, the men who represent their constituency, and the people of this State. may be men who shall be nnder the guidance oruoa.wnose interests may be committed to His care, ana over whom the I)rd, our Father, shall watch and care for. We thank Thee that Thon hat so graciously cared for us as a state, as a people, as a uepuoiic. we thank Thee that peace Is within all our borders, ana mat success attends Thy people, and Thy blessing rests upon u as a Nation. We pray Thee that In the future that God will care for us and watch over us, and will look after us, and guide and direct all for the best Interests of this people and this Republic. Forgive Us of all sins. May all that shall be done be done to the interests and advancement nt Thy cause among men. May victory, may peace be witnin ail our boraers, ana may uoa be honored by this people and this Nation, and be saved ultimately in Thy Kingdom, we ask for Christ's sake, amen ! Governor Hendricks then offered the fol owing remarks In regard to the nomina tions: We are now about to proceed to the most Important part of our duties, and wish to have an understanding on two or three matters between you and myself. I know the great difficulty in preserving order during the hour that Is now ahead of ns. We are aoout to choose between very strong men for. tne first office of the State. They are supported ery earnestly by strong men. 1 know that your feelings and passions will become excited in a contest iiae tnis, ano i ask you mat wmie the roll Is being called that no man shall appla ad any vote. Will you do that? Cries of yes. mat is a pargain Detween yoa ana me. Laughter. ' Now I wish to announce another thing: You tave adopted the Com mittee report that when a County is called for its vote, it must' tnen vote, it can not say that it Is not prepared. Democrats must be prepared to vote. It la a good thing to be ready. Laughter. And another thing, gentlemen, with your permission, although the Committee did not report It, I will adopt it as a rule, u you say so, and tnat is that arter a County has voted that County shall not change its vote until the roll call is completed, Secretary Kern, nnder instructions, re ported the following list of vice presidents.

A motion to take a recess until l o ciocg failed to receive a second. 1 A second ballot was taken, but before the announcement of the result a great number of changes were made by! Conn ties in favpr of Mr. Landers, and on the motion oi uon. Robrt Bell, of Allen County who placid Mr. Gray in nomination, seconded by Judge Holman. of Dearborn, who placed Mr. Downey's name before the Convention the nomination of Hon. Franklin Landers for Governor was made unanimous, amidst great applause, swinging of hats and hand kerchiefs by the delegates and spectators. ! Mr. Landers being loudly called for, came forward and spoke as follows; f Mb. President and Gentlemen or the Convention I have not language to express my gratitude tor tie connaence mat yoa have repostd in me. To be the standardbearer of the Democratic party of Indiana is no ordinary compliment. 1 have been over your State, and when I started I felt that I would like to be Governor of Indiana. There are more Counties In, Indiana where the citi zens feel that their homes are the best, that their soli is the best, and the intelligence of the people is superior to those of any other State in this Union, and wherever you find the citizens of a County satisfied with their soli, satisfied with their labor, and satisfied with the Intelligence that kurrouuds them, 1 war rant you there is a happy people. Applause! 1 have no speech to make upon tbe questions or the day, but I . want to, say this: The canvass has been a warm one, in some degree has been exciting, but as far as I know there has been nothing done on either side that Is calculated to leave any feeling whatever. 1 did not want this nomination unless It was the wish of the Democracy of Indiana. My competitors, both of them, I think, share the same feeling. I can say to you, gentlemen, that Mr, Gray, my competitor in this canvass, has shown an energy-that Is worthy of any man. He has been industrious; be has been all over the State, and I would be proud indeed U we could have two Governors m Indiana. IADnlanse.1 I advise energy in politics as well as In business,' and I said to mv friends throughout the State, that, the energy of Mr. Gray was commendable, but vet in everv sense, gentlemen, it has been honorable. T will say this, that when this canvass is over yoa will not charge me with a lack of energy and industry. ou win nna me in every County in Indiana. I will be there defending the Democratic party. I will be there to see that the party Is organized lor the contest. I Applause. 1 We can not get through this canvass without organization. We most have organisation and we will have organization, and when we get through with this canvass and elect our President, as we did four years ago,' we are determined we mean what we say that the man that represents a : majority of the voles will be inaugurated as our President. Applause. There Is to4 be no fraud now; no effort upon the . part of the Democratic party to inaugurate . a man that has not been elected, but a determination on their part to see that the man that is elected is Inaugurated. This will be our watchword. I thank yoa, most heartily, gentlemen, for the confidence that yon have placed In me, and I hope that no man in Indiana, when the canvass is over, will regret that he has placed that confidence in me. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, Following Mr. Landers' speech, loud calls were made for Colonel Gray. He stepped upon the stage and was about , to commence speaking when Austin H. Brown arose and said:' ' ' " ' ' '.' 1 ' Before Colonel Gray addresses this Conven Hon, I wish to Interpose amotion, which Is that Isaac P. Gray be declared the unanimous nominee of this Convention as Lieutenant Governor. This motion created ' great excitement among the friends of Mr. Gray,' the Conven tion rising In . mass, and .the cheering ana swinging of hats, continued for some time. When the . confusion bad, partially subsided one after another of the candidates for tbe position,' who had been urging their claims upon the Convention, arose and added to the excitement by seconding the nomination and withdrawing their names When they had ' all 'been heard from. Governor Hen dncks Dut the motion and declared it car ried. In introducing Colonel Gray, Governor Hendricks said: I think Landers and Gray would make the strongest ticket that could be put in the field, and I predict that there will not he Republicans enough in number to get In sight of them. Colonel Gray responded in the following SPEECH 0 ACCEPTANCE, 1 Ms. President and Gentlemen or the Convention Four years ago tne , Democracy of Indiana, in Convention assembled.' nomlnated me. by acclamation, its candidate for Lieutenant Governor. , How well 1 discharged

Wayne County; Milton James,

the duties of that position is now a part of the

pouucai msiory 01 Indiana, cries or "uoodi" I was nominated at that time without solid tatlon on my part. This Convention to-day, again representing the Democracy of Indiana, has, in the exercise of its political wisdom. seen proper to nominate me again, by acclamation, its candidate for Lieutenant Governor. This Is a compliment that has rarely been paid to any citizen of Indiana, so far as my memory goes. I would be less than a man If I failed to appreciate it. Gentlemen of the Con ven uon, i assure you that I do. and thank ?'ou most profoundly for this renewed manlestatlon of your confidence and high regard. Applause. i . H i. should be elected, and I have not the least doubt in the world but what I hall be, I will try and so discharge the duties of the posrtion that bo Democrat In Indiana shall ever be ashamed or having been a Gray man in this Convention. Applause.

Md.. June 9. The Democratic Conservative State Convention to select delegates to the National Convention at Cincin nati, and to choose Presidential electors, met to-day. The resolutions declare an adherence to the principles which have guided and controlled the policy of the National Democratic party since the formation of the Federal Gov ernment. They repudiate the great wrong by which the wiU of the people in the election of 187 was reversed by fraudulent Courts. After the polls were closed, and tbe Republican party being in possession of military - power, tbe people nad no choice except between civil war and such form of arbitration as the repre sentatives of the Republican party in Congress mignt see nt to devise. An offense was then committed against the whole people, which ought never to be forgotten nor condoned. The Republican party has used public money and public lands In fostering great monopolies; has fllled Che pub lic treasury, dv means 01 tarins intended to promote tne advantage or particular manufacturers at the expense of the producing States ; has created a system of laws under wnicn tne National Executive may unduly and directly influence both State and Federal elections; it has increased the number of omcers, until they form an immense olvll lorce, governed by and dependent upon Its wiu, ana it nas nsed this Federal army as a means of Increasing Its political power. More than once the people of the United States have been brought to the verge of bankruptcy by the legislation of the Republicon party, and they owe their returning prosperity oniyto the blessing oi God and to their own Increased economy and untiring labor. They declare the belief tnat the National Democratic Conservative party will maintain the equality of all cltlssns be fore the law, and enforce and uphold their constitutional rights; will check the present extravagance In the expenditure of public money; will reform tbe Injustice and Inequal ity of tne existing tanas; will maintain aosolute supremacy of the civil over military power, and check the progress of centralization and keep tbe Executive and Congress within the limit of tbe powers confided to tbem by the Constitution. The resolutions decline to instruct, but express confidence In the distinguished ability of Thomas Francis Bayard. The delegates at large chosen were Wm. Penkney Whyte. Philip F. Thomas, John Lee, Carroll and Bernard Carter. Preparing for the National Democratic Con vention. Cincinnati. June 9. Tbe resident Commit tee of the Democratic National Committee with Colonel L. A.
