THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. v~ Unvailing of the Monument to the Indiana Statesman. The Ceremonial Performed Under a Blazing Son and In the Presence’of • Lures Conconrae of People from Home uud Abroad. Indianapolis, Ind., July 3.—Yesterday was a red-hot day, but the great heat and discomfort entailed thereby did not act as a deterrent to keep away the. vast multitudes of people which from an early hour until noon swarmed out of the Union Depot, as train after train discharged their crowded and perspiring human freight until the capital city of the lioosier State was thronged as never before with visitors from all parts of the country, who, forgetting or ignoring party or geographical lines, had assembld to do honor'to the memory of a man in whom the statesman dwarfed the politician and the patriot the partisan, for conspicuous as Thomas A. Hendricks had been

in his lifetime in the councils of one political party, there were no politics in the event of the day. The business houses and private residences of the most earnest supporters of the party in power and the warmest friends of President Harrison were decorated just as profusely and with as much taste as those of their political opponents, and in the imposing street demonstration Republicans marched with Democrats and Prohibitionists with Mugwumps. No one party was represented in the tens of thousands of dollars that have poured in from every State and Territory of the Union toward the erection of the magnificent work of art that adorns the State-house grounds, and political differences were forgotten in the salvos of applause that greeted the. venerable relict of the deceased Vjne-Presidont, as with trembling hand she pulled the rope and exposed to public, view the marble counterfeit of her illustrious consort Tho local committee had provided 20,000 silk badges with a bust picture of Hendricks and appropriate inscriptions, but the supply was soon exhausted, and even if there had been twice as many there would not have been sufficient to go round. The three visiting Governors, Hill, Campbell and Francis, met at the State House shortly after teno’clock, and after being introduced to each other by Governor Hovey in his private parlor, held an informal reception for a couple of hours.

Aleanwnile tne various ai visions ot tno parade bad formed at different rendezvous, and atone o'clock,when ChiefMarshal General Nefler was satisfied that all was in readiness, the signal was given by the firing of seven guns by the veterans stationed at the north side of the court-house square, and the head of the column moved. The sidewalks along the line of march were packed with people, who heartily cheered the visiting Governors, the political clubs from abroad and the other features of the Darade that excited their enthusiasm. Each division had its band of music, and the numberless flags, banners and. other devices that were carried tended to complete a magnificent spectacle. The appearance of th$ carriage with Mrs. Hendricks and the visiting Governors was the signal for the firing of a salute of nine guns by the Light Artillery Battery, and the exercises were forthwith inaugurated With an overture by the band. Then the school children’s chorus, led by Prof. Henry M. Butler, sang “The Model Republic” with superb effect Governor A. P. Hovey called the gathering to order in very few words, extending a hearty welcome to the visitors from abroad, and paying a brief tribute to the memory of the man they had met to honor. He concluded by installing Hon. Frederick Rand, president of the Monument Association, as presiding officer. The latter, in turn, introduced Rev. Josephs. Jenckes, of St Paul’s Church, who led the gathering in prayer. After the prayer an additional number was added to the programme by the introduction of General Daniel E. Sickels.of Hew York. Judge Holman, bearing a magnificent wreath of roses over three feet in diameter, proceeded the crippled veteran. General Sickels said that he had been commissioned by the most ancient political organization in America to bring this wreath and,place it on the tomb of Hendricks in the name of Tammany Hall. More than thirty years ago be had been the envoy of the same society to offer a similar tribute to the memory of Daniel Webster. General Sickels eulogized the works of Hendricks and in concluding, asked Mrs. Hendricks to accept the wreath as a token of esteem and admiration for her illustrious husband who in his life time bad so ably championed the principles so dear to Tammany Hall. Mrs. Hendricks accepted the wreath and bowed her thanks while the spectators cheered. After a selec tion by the, Hendricks Club Band, President Rand made a succinct historical statement narrating the circumstances under which the movement for the monument bad prlrinttted, tfce amount* contributed

by Use ao veral States, and the total eapenditure. The hymn “America” was hen sung by tbe chorus and audience As the last notes died away Mrs. lendricks arose and-gently pulled the i >pe, causing the canvas to recode and lisclosing the herolc-siaed e tatue that cr . wned the pedestal. Applause, laud and long, greeted the act, while to add to the din, a salute of nine guns, dae for each letter of the name “Hendricks” was fired by the battery, and "Columbia” waS rendered by the combined bands. When silence had once more been restored the dedicatory ode “Heedricks,” written by James Whitcomb Riley, was impressively read by Prof. Fisher of Hanover College: Pride of the Westland, and loved of too Nation ; header’invincible, ruler most wise; Fevered r,or flushed by the throng's acclamation, Steadfastly poised as a star in too shies: _ Paths that were nigllt to us Thon didst make bright to us— Brightening stilt, till toe transcendent shine— .Swiftly withdrawn from us, K ow thou art gone from us Halos Shy deeds with a glory divine.

the last century* When the kn i&htly and chivalrous Jean Baptiste Jl.ssot Sieur de Vincennes lost his life In battle with, the Indians* Seating b i s name to the old post upon the Wabash, the orator gave a lengthy sketch of the deceased statesman. His parents, be said, belonged to the pore, highhearted patrician race of the frontier,; well worthy to bo the founders of great cities, States aud communities. The father *1 furmpr ownurnf

the lands he tilled, builder also of the house ile first lived in,while the son, utter wart) the Vice-President of this s»reat Nation, had, when grown to suttlcient Si's, taken part In the labors of the field and htxiseliold. Many year3 afterwatd. in the meridian of his career, he pleasantly recalled the time when he used to seethe miller all. white with dust standing in the door of bis mill, while as a boy he waited patiently until the sack with grist in it was adjusted to the horse’s back lor his Jiomowitrd ride. The orator referred to the first appearance of the deceased statesman in public life as a Itepresantasive from the County of Shelby to the General Assembly, and In which rapacity be left upon the minds of bis colieaitaes such an opinion of his abilities as laid the foundation for that respect and esteem in which he always continued to bu held by them and their constituencies. A touching reference was made to Mr. Hendricks’marriage to Miss Eliza Morgan, of North Baud, O., in 1915, and all eyes for the moment wore directed towards the widow of the deceased who bowed her head. Coming down to war times, the orator said that as a Senator Mr. Headricks constantly acted and voted in aid of the Government in every measure looking to the suppression of armed insurrection against,Hs authority, although he always reserved the right, os a Senator.to discuss she civil policy of the Administration freely. His suggestions and amendments to the pending biilsfor the maintenance of the National forces then, in the field were so timely, nsefal and Important as frequently to eonnnand the approval of the majority of the Senators politically adverse to bis views. At the conclusion of the civil war, in that day which saw the surrender of the Confederate forces, there came the question as to what disposition should be made of the States whose people had taken part in the insurrection designed to subvert the Government. This grave problem was presented to Hendricks in the midst of Ilia term as Senator, while in the whole range of former legislation and jurisprudence there was no precedent for the solution thereof, tinder the policy In Vogue among the ancient republics, during their rise and progress,for centuries, the conquered inhabitants of a revolting” slate or province Were treated in all respects a 3 foreign enemies. Tins principal powers Of modern Europe had pursued a simflur course. Pile dealings of the British Government with insurgent subjects, wlih re helloes in England, fleotlatid, Ireland and elsewhere, afforded only a iong recital of proscription, attainder, confiscations, and executions—the severest pains, fines and forfeiture of a merciless penal code. Here were no doubt precedents, but none for tile Senator front Indiana, toward whom at this time every eve was turned as uilou one known to be tinjast to the interest of no section, devoted to the well-being of all. The problem wfis peculiarly American, only to be soivad by a”wise and comprehensive, " . * ‘ laws, the institutional consideration of llieH theories, political traditions and history of our own Suites and people. In this crisis of deliberation he stood, upon his side, almost alone. Willi the lamentable calm and quiet which sustain the high spirit upon such occasions, at * very early Derlod m the debate upon the bill for the establishment of military governments in tile Southern States, be took this position': “1 desire this to bo a Union in form under tbe Couatitntton and in fact, by She harmony of tns people of the North and South. I deny that at the close of tbe war there were no State governments in tile Southern States. The Constitution of a State, when it has once been admitted, becomes a part of the National compact. I deny that the people of that Slate have tbe right to destroy Its government and thus ecsse to be within the Union. I deny that a convention, a legislature, of any ether assembly whatever can voluntarily term in ate the existence of their Slate government and thus eet off their connection with the Federal Union.” And again ho said: “I deny that any act of the State, ns a question of Saw, can have the effect to destrov tlie relation of the State, to the Union. Practically the relations wore disturbed; practically the State Wes for a time not in harmony with the Generai Government; but its existence as u state ; its Constitution and laws, except those enacted In aid of the rebelion, continual: all the way through the war, and when peace came I t found the State with Its Constitution and laws unrepeab ed and in fuli fores, holding that State to Its place in the Federal Government.” It a passage oi singular force and eloquence, more partisnilnriv addressed to his colleague, Sena tor Mc-non, ho says: ‘‘Mr. Pro >■ ident, stay colleague ha* spoken of a column of CoMtesslunal lcecamructiort, and has said, *lt is not huvrn of :\ single stone, bnt composed of ninny nloeks,’ Sir, I think he Is right.

If Webster be styled the expounder of tn« old Constitution, With Its half truths and compromises, upon a subject noted but nnnumed therein, Headricks may he al called the expounder of the Justly Is known ['(the constructionist, the other will new. It tlie one known as the reconstruction 1st of bis age— us the true Interpreter of the Constitution, revised!, amended, and of the nature and character of the Union Mine reformed, restored and re established. Amid the clangor of arms, the shoutings and tbunderlpgs ol embattled hosts scarcely died away, he was pre-eminently the civilian and publicist ol that momentous and perplexing period. Thu orator continued to review the career el the deceased as Governor, private ! citizen and Vice-President, and in conI elusion said: Be was truly a man of varied learning and attainments, lull also of that wisdom unborrowed from the schools; patient, kindly, persistent, brave, not distrustful of fortune, willing, for the cause which he espoused. to put all men lawfully may to the hazard; and of a Axed fidelity to principle which brooked in Its course neither despair nor discouragement Faultlessly discreet In conduct, equally undisturbed by tbe clamoi of dissent or favor, with calm, clear. Intuitive discernment in the adaptation of mesms most excclent to the noblest ends, with almost marvelous prevision of effects; thong , be purposed more, yet be accoinpl isbed linii h for his country s welfare. JIad he lived In the age oCclassic antiquity, an apotheosis might have followed bis demise. In one supremely critical Juncture of our National affairs, for many days, like ih uni xiatiuiiui uuaiiD.ivi umuy Fabius or old. he walked and safely kept the held at peril, meriting In this the simple yet august decree of the Conscript Fathers: “He hath deserved well of the republic.” We unvail here to-day this monumental figure reminding us of his life and presence; in the goodly fellowship ol these atoned emblems of the administration of taw. and of history, wherein ho bore so lurge a part. His fame depends upon material yet more endpring, the fabric ol his words and works, ennobled by the patriotic aims to which they related. For It may well be believed there waa something about such a one of that within which " lad'-.enlus—the genius ol paasethshow. He had 5__ statesmanship, alike befitting the majestic assemblies and the highest councils of a free people. To genius belongs the hereafter. In the vast halls of the future Its greetings ure heard, Its audio nee a are held, its posterity throngs to the reception. In their midst it moves clad w ith a radiant nimbus of glory, and neither time, norchanee. nor change, nor things past or present,not things to come, of whatever moment, may dim or tarnish its unfading splendor. The orator received another oration as he retired. <• “The True Patriot” was rendered bj the male chorus, the audience joining in the stirring strains of “The Stat Spangled Banner." Brief speeches were made by Governor Bill of New York, Oovernor Campbell of Ohio, Oovernor Francis of Mise souri and ex-Govemor Gray of Indiana, and then the benediction waa pronounced and the exercises brought to » close. / Numerous letters were received from prominent Americans who had been invited to attend the ceremonies. E. W. Halford wrote that the President directed him to say that public duties would not permit of bis presence. Ex-President Cleveland wrote under date of Marion, Mass., 16tb, regretting that a positive engagement for to-day made it impossible for him to accept the invitation. y- r Vice-President Morton regretted that he could not be present to honor the memory of his distinguished predecessor in office and his personal friend, and Chief Justice Melville W.
