SPEECH of GOV, HENDRICKS, Pelivered on Taking the Chair as President of the Indiana Democratie Convéntion, July 15, 18_74. : @entlemen of the Convention: By accepting your appointment from the pe%ple and appearing in this Convention, you have assumed very responsible duties, and the pohitical results of this year in Indiana may possibly depend upon the manner in which these duties are discharged. You cannot safely assume that the Republican ticket now in the field is a weak one and easily beaten. It is composed of able men and adroit politicians. But they represent political doctrines which we believe to be dangerous and of evil tendency, and a political party not worthy the confidence and support of the people; a party that should no longer regulate the policies of the country, or control the administration of its affairs. Their election would be an endorsement of those doctrines and of that party and would be construed as the judgment of the people that there should be no change, but that we are to go on in the future as

in the past. Therefore, that ticket shotild be defeated, as I believe it will be. - But it is your duty to make for the democracy and their associates a ticket at least its equal in every element .of personal and political strength. - : o You will hardly expect me to refer

at any length to the declaration of prineiples and purposes which should constitute your platform. A rigid economy in publie expenditures, never exceeding the dbsolute wants and demands of the publie services; unconditional obedience to coastitutional prohibitions and a close adherence to. c¢onstitutional requiremenits in an official conduet; integrity to peryvade and animate the public service, and reforms to be wrouzht out wherever

needed ; local self-government and the reserved rights of the States in agcordance with the spirit preserved and maintained; and the legal subordina-

tion of corporate and all special rights and privileges to the paramount rights, interests and welfare of society are well-known and conceded sentiments of our party, but they cannotbe too often re-asserted. . ‘ SPECIE AND PAPER. . ;

The recent very serious disturbance of gur finance, and the consequent interruption of our eommercial and manufacturing pursuits, and the partial Isuspension of the employment of la'‘bor, have arrested general and anxious attention; and I suppose you may regard it proper to express some viexws in respect to our national policy. Our paper money is necessarily confined in its circulation to our own .country; for our foreign purchases and payments we require coin. The latter is the universal:and permanent standard of value, and it should be our policy to increase its supply until we reach a condition where specie payments may be safely resumed. In the mean-time, the paper currency should be maintained in such quantity as will facilitate the business of the country, encourage legitimate enterprise, and sel cure remunerative employment .to | labor, but not so increased as to cause its own depreciation, or to develop a reekless spirit of speculation and adventure. Surely 'a. wise Statesmanship may avoid the extreme of a.contracted currency,.cramping business, choking enterprise and paralyzing la- ' bor, on the one hand, and of an inflated or depreciated currency upon the ,other. I can not say which would be i g 5 ; ' the greater evil. They are extremes of gluttony and starvation. Health and strength belong to neither. . If we are to have a paper currency —and. I believe all concede that our condition requires its continuance for some indefinite period—then I know of no rule or standard to determine its quantity but the demands of the legitimate business of the country.-— Our paper currency consists of treasary notes declared by Congress to be lawful money, and national bank notes. lam not infavor of the policy .that proposes to retire the treasury notes to make room for an increase of national banks and their paper. The treasury notes are the cheaper currency*to the people and command public confidence. They are not irredeemable. For their value they rest upon the pledge and conscience of the country. The relation between the holders and the government is direct. The people are not required to pay interest upon national bonds deposited as the: basis of their security and value, asin the case of tlie bank notés. ' Passing everywhere and without question they are the favorite and the popular currency. " . SPECIE PAYMENTS. We desire to return to specie payments. It is aserious evil whenthere are commercial mediums of different values; when one description of money is for one class and purpose, and another for a different class and purpose. - We cannot toostrongly express the importance of the policy that shall restore uniformity of walue to all the money of the country,”so that it shall be always and readily convertas ble. That gold and silver are the real standrad of value is a cherished democratic sentiment not now nor hereafter to be abandoned. DBut Ido not look to any ‘arbitrary enactment of Congress for a restoration of specie payments. Such an effort now would probably produce wide-spread commercial disaster. A Congressional declaration cannot make the paper currency equal to gold in value. It ‘cannot make my bank note worth as much as your gold dollar. The business of the country alone can do that. ‘When we find the coin of the country ihcreasing, then we may know that 'we are moving in the direction of specie payments. The important financial question is: How can we increase and make permanent our supply of gold? The reliable solution is by increasing our productions, and thereby reducing our purchases and increasing our sales abroad. Ie can readily obtain money who produces more than he consumes of articles that are wanted in the market, and I suppose :llat is also true of comunities and naions. g o e

How can the Republican party atone to the people for its evil policies which have driven gold frgm the country and rendered a return to specie payments more diffieult and made its postponement inevitable? That party has. exzrted all its powers to make our debt a foreign one, and for that purpose and to that end has established singular relations between our Government and a European syndicate, or combination of banks, giving great advantages in the arrangemaent. Now, every pay day, large sums of gold are sent abroad to pay interest coupons. The red blood flows from the veins and artexies of the counfry. I believe it would be better for -the country to pay a fourth or a

third larger per cent. upon our bonds to our own people than to foreign holders, who expend their rents abroad. Cheap Chinese labor eats at the vital of our prosperity on the Pacific coast, so long ‘as the wages are sent back in gold to China. The#farmer grows poorer every year who returns no nourishment to his fields.

THE IMPORTATION OF GOLD.

Our forlgign trade has been largely against us. The difference between our exports and imports has been supplied in’ interest bearing securities and coin.. This great and constant drain upon our gold has contributed to the depreciation of our paper currency. - Six years ago, at the com‘mencement of the gubernatorial contest, I had oeccasion to speak upon this subject. Ithensaid: “Wecannot meet one dollar of foreign indebtedness with. our paper currency, and, therefore, when balance of trade is against us it is a constant drain upon our gold and silver. IHow long can we endure this without financial ruin ? and when can we return to a specie basis, if the specie be constantly withdrawn ? _Our reliable' remedy is in an increase ‘of produetion, especially of those great scaples that command the foreign markets. Then the specie will i flow to our shores in payment for our | productions; then we will sell more than we buy; and then our financial difficulties will rapidly disappear, and we will soon stand on a specie, basis.” Cotton and tobacco are the most important staples in our exports, at sometimes exceeding all other commodities. Since the close of the war it has been the suggestion of wisdom to encourage their produection in the largest possible quantities, as it has been the dictate of humanity, Christianity and patriotism to promote reconciliation and harmony between the sections. ~ But political and partisan interests have been made paramount to humanity and the welfare of the country. Badgovernmentshave been established and as far as possible maintained in the South. Intelligence and virtue have been placed under the dominion and. servitude of ignorance and vice. Corruption hasborne sway; public indebtedness has become frightful, and taxes too heavy to carry, and development crushed and enterprise manacled. In a word, it has been the government of hatred; and .all .this that & party might bear rule. Are not Virginia and Tenneéssee and Georgia and Texas green spots in the South? 'And why? Because they were able to throw off the horrible _despotism before their utter ruin was consummated. Who to-day would buy lands for son or daughter in South Carolina or Louisiana? For the good of the whole country, I would rejoice to see the prosperity restored to the land of the sugar cane and the cotton plant. AsT saidin the Senate, I ‘would have the whole country aid in restoring the levees that held the .mighty river in check, and reclaim the country from inundation; the country that Jefferson acquired; the lands that the people tfought for rather than surrender. An increase of 20-per cent. in'the production of our great staples would turn the balance of trade in our favor and the current of gold toward our own shores, and contribute to an early resumption of specie payments more than any enactment of Congress. TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION. I think you are expected to declare in plain terms what legislation you approve in regard to the sale of intoxicating liquors. My official duty placed me in a responsible relation to this ‘subject. I signed the law now-in force known as the Baxter bill, though I thought some of its provisions unwise and impolitic. Before signing the bill I examined it with all the care the time allowed would permit. I called to my assistance two of the ablest lawyers in the State, I came tothe conclusion that its provisions were not in violation of the constitution. It was not hasty or igconsidewte legislation. It was deliberately considered in both branches of the Legislature.— Believing the bill to be constitutional .and . that it- expressed the deliberate judgment and will of the Legislature,it was my duty to sign it. I believe the veto power is' to arrest unconstitutional legislation: jn derogation of fundaniental and essential rights, such as the equality of representation, and not to enable the Governor to oppose his opinions to those of the people’simmediate representatives upon questions of mere policy, or police regulation.— “That law has not received the popular support necessary to malke it efficient. It has encountered determined hostility on the part of those engaged in the liquor business; and for many months extreme temperance people in.a very extraordinary manner have shown an unwillingness to abide by its provis--108, : Propositions will be brought before the next Legislature for the material modification or repeal of the law.— ‘What legislation shall take its place? Our Supreme Court has declared absolute prohibition to be unconstitutional, and experience, I believe, has shown it to be impracticable. It then only remains to regulate the traffic. , . Any useful law must rest wpon the proposition that there are serious evils to society and to individuals connect.ed with the traffic in intoxicating liquors, which it is the province of the law to restrain and prevent. Sales should not be made to boys; and, if necessary to . prevent it, the boy who misrepresents or conceals his age to obtain liquor, should be punished as well as the party who knowingly sells to him. Drunkenness should be punished as well as selling to the intoxicated. All sales should be forbidden when the public peace or safety requires it; and, like other pursuits, it should be suspended in the night-time. Perhaps the hour now fixed is unnecessarily and inconveniently early, but society should be protected from the disturbances and bloodshed incident to the traffigin the middle of the night.

I think it might properly be considered whether a difference in regulation could not safely be made for the sale of winous and malt liquors and the stronger and more intoxicating drinks. There is certainly a great difference in the evils that result from their use. i THE LICENSE SYSTEM, With these and such other provisions as may seem reasonable and necesgary, I think experience justifies the adoption of the license system. The amoun{ required for the license in each case should be greater than heretofore; - It should be sufficient to make the party selling feel that his interest is identified with that of society in preserving order and good.conduct at his place of business, and avoiding all violations of law. This policy will bring a large revenue into the s€hool fund and will prove more efficient in suppressing the evils of intemperancg

than the present system. I ecannot appreciate the objection that by veceiving a license fee society uses money received from an improper source. Under the present law,the State grants the permit and declares the business lawful. Under a policy which we have long maintained every violation of our eriminal law that is punished by fines adds to the school fund. The wise legislator considers the weakness as well as the strength, the follies, as well as the wisdom of man, and adapts the laws to his real wants and necessities.: ¢ . THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The recently constructed Republican State platform appeals“with pride” to its fidelity to duty; to its freedom from taint or suspicion; to its resistance to wrong, and its !exposuie of its dishonest agents. Was ever so bold an appeal made to the credulity of mankind? Did the authors really suppose they eould impose upon any voter by such an appeal ? Is Williams not still: the Attorney-General? Is Moses not now the Governor of South Carolina, with the indictment for a penitentiary crime against him? Are the Jistriet judges not still in office, against “whom proceedings for impeachment were instituted ? Does the Louisiana crime against Republican institutions’ not remain unrebuked ? And are the guilty parties not now in the enjoyment of the fruits of the crime ?—a erimme so odious as to make a Republican Senator denounce it as a “cloud upon the fair name of our nation.” And when public opinion compelled the Secretary of the Treasury to resign his office because of his connection with the Sanborn frauds, was he not that same week made a judge of the court of claims for life and confirmed by the Senate? + |DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The platform also declares the party pride over the investigation of the abuses in the Distriet of Columbia because it shows that they do not want the spoils of office. When did' they decline the spoils: of office? Intolerant and proscriptive they allow none to share in the honors and profits of public position unless they bend the knee in devotion to the party. The vast expenditures: mus% pass into the pockets of their partisans, andno man can tell what sums thus pass wrongfully. Itihas- no précedent in our history. bEe i

In February, 1871; the District of Columbia was placed under a new form ;of government. The Governor, Board of Public Works and many other officers, and one branch of the Legislature were appointed by the President, and confirmed by the Senate,and the more nuimnerous branch of the Legislature was' chosen by the people in the distriet. If capable of maintaining good government the opportunity was most favorable. Under the eye| of the PreSident and the, Cabinet, with a party in such majority as to exclude all others, none could hinder; they had -their way and developed ther tendency. But r}l:u'-‘ tiality, favoritism and corruption soon had way without restraint and in three years the debt of the district exceeds ‘twenty millions of dollars. The burthen became too great for the party.— Cerruption and failure were admitted before the world, they econceded that in the National Capital, with officers appointed by the President and Seénate or elected by their party, they could not preserve pure government. That form of government was lately abandoned, and in the spirit of Rome’s gdvernment of her conquerred provinces, the District of Columbia was placed under the rule of-three Commissioners taken from different parts of the country. Free and representative government is this day broken down by party .corruption in thf" capital of our country, and arbitrary, almost despotie, authority established. Can we' conceive'a more humiliating admission by the advoeates of free institutions to the world ? THE IMMORTALITY OF DEMOCRACY. The gentleman who presided over the Republican convention felt it his duty to say that, two years ago, I had proclaimed the death of the Democrat--lic party. Oh! no! I hadsaid that we turn our backs upon the past, stand in the present and look forward to the great future; that the future is ours, that in it the people should achieve that full measure of prosperity and happinéss, which it is in their power to secure. The dead issues of the past do not furnish our animating sentiments. The principal &f free gov.ernment, and the usages necessary to ‘preserve liberty, are of the present, as of the past, and must be of the future. It is interestingjto hear their orators assuring thgir followers that the Democratic party is dead. It establishes one’s genius for originality! It has not been ¥epeated more than one million times! and each time the followlowers laugh and cheer; they are co glad the Democracy is dead! They wish it, but feel thatit is notso.. The laugh and cheer are hollow and without joy. If they were sure of it they. would say kind and generous things of so great and powerftul an organization. It is notbrave or noble to strike even a dead lion! s But a few years since they boasted that the Democrats had no Governor in the Northern States, and but few in the South, but now there are Democratic Governors in New Hampshire, Connccticut,Delaware, Maryland,Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon,Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and Texas. Arkansas may now be added to the list of Democratic States, for the hands who corrupted tge ballot-box are broken and scattered. 3 v |

. Organizations may be broken and pass away, but Democracy cannot die. It is endowed with immortality of truth and right. Whereyer in all lands, men aspire to higher, fréer, better ‘government and purer liberty; wherever there is the sentiment that government is made for man and not man for government, there is the spipit of Democracy that will endure and yet achieve man’s enfranchisement and elevation. : I thank you for the honor of my selection to preside over your deliberations. In the name of the Democra¢y, of conservatism-and of our State, I call upon you to aid me in maintaining decorum and harmony in out proceedings. fen B

THE rascally writer of “Currency” in the Detroit Free Press declares that “travelers o’er the dusty highways of Ohio are refreshed by the sight of barelegged young women sitting on the gate-posts with their lips full of sour cherries.” If the young women are very pretty, and keep the dust well +waghed from their legs—that is to gay, from their feet and ankles—Ohio must ‘be a rather pleasant State to: travel through, unless the gate-posts are few .and far between.—Lowisville CourierJournal. :

A LOST OPPORTUNITY. [From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.]

In vain does one look for some endorsement of the finance resolution adopted by the Demoeratic convention at Indianapolis. The comments of the press are universally unfriendly. - Even the New York World, that ' staunch ally of the Democracy of this State, expresses its strongest ' disgust at the folly of resurrecting the Pendletonian fallacy. In this at least,the convention stultified itself. 'While the general tone of the platform is unex- ’ ceptionable; while the speech of Gov. Hendricks is everywhere received with applause; even from political en--emies, the finance resolution is greeted - with sneers and ill-concealed laughter. For the honor of the State it must be said that the influence of Indianapolis was unduly exercised in favor of inflation. The vzuility of that city will be satisfied with' nothing but expansion. ' It lives, moves, and has its beingin an atmosphere of inflation. Its prosperity, its population, its attractions are all magnified. Tln looking at Indianapolis, we get a distorted picture. To keepup this unnatural state of things, this false prosperity, exercises the wits of an army of Teal estate agents and dealers. This class.of men is very large. Very few men of ‘}'v‘:uxy means have kept out of the wild speculation which was the talk of the whole nation a year and a half ago. ' When the awakening came, these dealers of imaginary wealth found it to i their interest to-bull the market. New maps were issued, new plats made, new streets and boulevards laid out (on paper), and in short superhuman efforts were put forth to raise the L wind.” Real estate men said, “We cannot allow property to depreciate; we have too much money in it.” All the inflation talk contributed by this State to the great controversy -on finance during the past eight months, has - come from Indianapolis. The stockholders of the newspapers there were all more or less interested in the bubble, and the policy of their papers are shaped accordingly. That is why we have not had a word in favor of specie resumption from Indianapolis.— The Sentinel had just- sufficient independence: to say nothing on. either side. It did not dare to advocate resumption and it would not so stultify Its record as to advoecate inflation.— The Indianapolis influence predominated at the Convention, and the respectable, hard-money Democrats *throughout the State find themselves committed to a doctrine they have-al-ways fought against. This .is the price we are paying for the vanity of Indianapolis real estate dealers. It was a great mistake to allow the tall blatherskite of the Wabash to draw ‘up the financial rusolutiens, and a } still greater one to vote for their adoption. But for this single blunder, the ~cause of which has been p’ointodijout, the platform would have won' praise from all parties. It would have been in accord with the Democrrtic party elsewhere. The only consolation we “have is in the certainty that the Democracy of other States will, as a rule, advocate specié resumption. 'The action of Indiana does not, happily, commit the party as a whole to the mon-, strous folly of indefinite inflation and ultimate repudiation. This it was which killed the party in 1868, and this it is which will kill it again and again, if it is adopted by the National Convention. Never was there a finer opportunity for the declaration of a scund system of principles. It was the opportunity which occurs but once in a lifetime, and which if" taken at the flood may bring glorious results. It was- suffered to slip by, however, without imprevement. It now ' remains to remedy the disaster as best we may. { ! !

L T —— | “Qivil Rights.” The monstrous measure known as the ecivil rights bill, which contemplates the recognition of the black #ace as the equal of the white—not merely giving the negro full equality before the law, whichis not| objectionable, but enforcing social equality, by admitting him, by statutory enactment, to all places where the whites congregate, in. churches, schools, hotels, social clubs, theatres, etc., ete., is bgaring the evil fruit anticipated and promises to hasten the war of races in the South which has so often been predicted but ignored by the radicals. This bill is a hideous caricature of the principals which it professes to advance,—it is an oppression of, and an injustice to the white race to promote a sentimental philanthrophy .in ' behalf of the black. Throughout all Louisiana, and we suppose the other gulf States, the whites have been forced by mutual interest to band together to protect themselves from the insults and depredations of the insolent and thieving blacks. Since the civil rights bill has bedome a matter .'of controversy, frequent riots have occurred between them, and the opening of the Congressional campaign has greatly intensified the prejudices of race. A regular pitched battle took place recently at a public meeting in Sampson county, North Carolina, which followed a discussion of the civil rights bill between a white man and negro. The negroes ranged themselves on the side of the negro, and the whites, re- ' publicans and . conservatives, on the side of the white man, and says alocal paper, “the way missiles were projected was a caution. One prominent - white radical, as he commenced seizing fence-rails, ox yokes, and other such implements of warfare, and whirling them in a crowd of colored belligerents, shouting at the top of his voice: - “Civil rights, is it? I'll give you civil rights!” The eolored troops fought nobly; but their white allies -having turned against them, they were finally effectually repulsed, after having been four times driven from the field.” A few days prior to this row a fight, produced by the same irrepressible prejudices, occurred at a discussion in Hartnett county,at which the whites regardless of politics arrayed themselves against the blacks and ‘ a desperate riot was the consequence. A deplorable state of affairs is said to": “exist in some of the towns alofig the Mississippi, springing from the animosities engendered by the whites refusing to take the blacks into full social fellowship. Direful threats of rapine, arson and murder are heard from the blacks, male and female —~the former menacing the white male portion and the latter the women and children. 'We may expect to hear of the re-enactment of the horrible tragedies of Hayti' and San Domingo’,'gn the negro strongholds of the South, before the fall elections take place; and we may hear of frightful retaliations, also.—Huntington Democrat,

A Mqdel Auditor’s Report. - [From the Indianapolis Sentinel.]

‘There are some good. indications of progress. in official dug amid the multiplied instances of official delinquency. An instance is foundin the county auditor’s report. ‘of Koseciusko county. After a business-like financial exhibit, as required by the routine of prescribed duty, the auditor, Mr. A. B. Ball, goes on in the presentation of valuable information compiled from sources that are difficult ‘ to reach, except ‘through the auditor’s office:: In some States, other officers are the deposita- | ries of statistical facts. In Illinois it is the county clerk who makes the tax levies and knows everything that pertains to the resourcesand public economy of his county. He is the clerk of the supervisors, and the inside man in all public affairs. - But with us, the auditor is the medium of information for the people, and happy is the county which has brains as well as integrity in this office. It is not -easy to overestimate the value of afull and fair showing to the public of a county’s affairs: The people : like to see just wheretheir money goes.: Ifthey know this, they are content, or else know what to find fault about and where to locate : blame, Atulitoi"-gsall» Jshows this. 'The exaet distribution of.‘euch‘ tax to each township is given and a clear gxhibit of "the 'school fund and. expenditures is made. - After this, is a classified table of all taxable property by townships,including the railroad property and'taxation of- each township. Finally, there is a complete tabulation of agricultural produet“s,_‘ domestic animals and the visible resources of Kosciusko -county. “Consulting this report; the stranger can judge of the county as a place for. business and investments. The objeet of these comments is” not to blow the trumpet of Mr. Ball; whom the Sentiel knows nothing about, except from the printed report, but to encourage the practice of making this office a medium of accurate and full information, presented in @ form which the people can understand. Q:Vh‘en all the counties are thus completely recorded their aggregate reports will do justice to Indiana, and justice is all'she asks.. With a fair and adequate representation of her merits she will command the respect of the world. ¢ Besides,and better than this, a proper understanding of the facts is death to demagogues and. dishonest politicians. - Let the people be well posted on the true condition of local and State economy, and they will. not fail to-sustain what is right and correct abuses. =

Periodical Ravens. [From the Indlanépolio;Segtlglel,]»

- The world is eursed with a few old fossils who can neither livé nor die in peace unless they secure an election to some office.. They are willing todo a,nytlxing' or be anything- if. they can betray the people into. their support. It isforegone against them ; they have no more chance of an election then of flying to the moon, yet they. are always candidates. When the convention seasoun comes,they are around urging anomination and tormenting their friends to -aid sthem. -The ‘chronic plea which they urge is that, if nominated, they can run -ahead of their ticket and scoop in hundreds: of votes on personal considerations independent of party. ‘They are popular, immensely popular; they control vétes beyond calculation. "A good share of these old beggars come out this year as grangers. The name of one such specimen turns.up lately &n the ninth district for Congress.. Ie has the disease bad, had it two years ago, and fouriyedrs ago, and will have it four years hence; for such men never die and get out out of the way. ' There is one reason, and -only one, why such cases should not be dealt witl®like the dogs in. New York, or cremated, or transported to Botany Bay. That is, they make but little trouble after the nominations are. over.. With a growl and a sour temper, thiey slink away to wait forthe next campaign, when they will reappear like ghosts to haunt the political field. - There is a bitof comic humor in these periodical ravens; but in justice-to the republican. system; they ought to be squelched and driven away on their first appearance.
