THE POLITICAL CANVASS IN INDIANA.
The National and State Issues Forcibly and Clearly Presented.
Opeivln&r Speech of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Candidate for Governor, at the Academy of Music, Saturday Evening, July 20.
MY FELLOW CITIZENS:
To you of the
Democratic party I have something first to say. This meeting is an approval and ratification of the action of our National Convention at Baltimore in the adoption of the Cincinnati ticket and platform.
I need not speak at any length of the influences and considerations which brought about that result. A large body of the Republican party in some of the States, and finally at the National Mass Convention at Cincinnati, resolved that they could no longer support that party under its present management, and pro posed co-operation with all those who seek to restore purity to the public service everywhere, and patriotism to thje national councils, in place of a blind and exacting devotion to party. Through the councils of our party, State and National, we have accepted and agreed to that proposition, and now we stand, side by side, upon terms of entire political equality, with men whom we havje heretofore opposed. We stand by them and with them for a common object, which we know to be high and honorable, and worthy of our best endeavors,
To all. Democrats and Liberal Republicans, I say we stand together in the endeavor to relieve our country from thje influence and control-of cliques, combinations and rings, formed to promote ambition and gain wo stand together to free our legislation from the pernicious influence of caucuses and secret conclaves, where party advantages and chances are considered, rather than the public good. And in this contest we will stand together as true- and honorable men, our watchword and battle cry being: Just Laws and Public Virtue I believe we will achieve victory, and in November, the shout of a glad people will be, the Constitution and the laws are restored. Some may not go with us, whose departure we will regret. But since the decision at Cincinnati and Baltimore there are but two sides to the contest. Of necessity we must be of the movement for reform, or to continue General Grant and his surroundings in power. If some leave us we can only bow our heads in regret. I know they will not rejoice in the leadership they follow.
The candidates proposed for our support are not unknown to the country, From humble position Mr, Greeley has placed himself in the front rank, if no^ at the head of one of thfe great profess sions. His incorruptible integrity is con^ ceded by his bitterest opponents—and that is the best possible guarantee for an honest administration and it is also a guarantee that he will, if elected, faithfully redeem the pledges, made by his authority, to the people. His "prudent and economical views of public administration" give assurance of a "safe and thrifty management of the Executive office." But, we are asked, can Democrats rote for him after he has so abused them for thirty years? Why, have they not abused him quite as much? I believe that account has been kept balanced and we favor general amnesty. I am personally acquainted with Governor Brown, of Missouri, the nominee for Vice President. I served with him in the Senate. He is a man of fine talents of good acquirements, and very earnest in the support of what he believes right and expedient. 1 believe his administration in Missouri has been withoutreproach, and that harmony and fraternity now prevail in that State, whereas it was torn by discord and strife when he came into office. He and Senator Schurz, and their political associates, have forever buried the evil passions which ambitious men had kept alive to perpetuate their power. What they accomplished in Missouri, good men desire to see in all the States.
The platform upon which these candidates stand, and to which they are pledged in faith and honor, so. correctly and fully expresses the sentiments and wishes of the people, that it escapes even criticism. Hare you carefully considered it? 1. Political rights and franchises now enjoyed are to be respected and maintained. 2. Universal Amnesty—so that there shall be "no proscribed class, aud no disfranchised caste"—hut "complete pacification in all sections of the country. 3. Local self-government ter guard the rights of all citizens more securely than by centralized powfer—and. this requires the preservation oflhe Constitutional rights and powers of the States for the States self-government, and for the nation a return to the methods-of peace, and the Constitutional limitations of power"—"the cml „authority shall be Ijjfireme over the military"--^the writ
supreme over the nlilitaiy"-^^the writ* Grant has gone rartner ana aone more in pf habeas corpus shall be jealously up-f
held as the safeguard of personal free dom"—"the individual citizen shg^feniov the largest liberty consistent/with public "^Tef,,:*T-"ahd th^B shallgfee no EkxleJral MperW°Hof thai^ternal. polity of thS^Jgeral States." pTflJerf, fchall be a real anttej not merely &foidahlafed reform ita. th£ tSiyil Service of the Republic"—the Civil Service must cease to be the instrument of partisan tyranny, and the object of personal ambition and selfistT greed—hut honesty, capacity and fidelity must be respected as the only valid claim to public employment. The public offices must cease to be matters of arbitrary favoritism. And to this end |it is imperatively required that no President shall beacam didate for re-election. 5. That the system of Federal taxation shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people. That it shall provide means for the expenses of the Government economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate reduction annually of the principal thereof. That the people shall regulate the rate of taxation through their representatives in Congress, and that the President shall not interfere therewith, either by his veto or the use of his patronage. 6. That no further grants of the public lands shall be made to railroads. That the public domain shall be held sacred to actual settlers. 7. The public credit must be sacrenly maintained, and repudiation in every form discountenanced. 8. A speedy return to specie payment. 9. The services of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic shall be greatfully remembered and honorably requited. 10. Friendship with foreign nations must be preserved by treating all on fair and equal terms, neither asking nor submitting to what is wrong.
This is a summary of the purposes and the policy which animate aud govern the great movement which is to make Mr. Greeley the President of the United States. Upon this declaration of principles and policy we may all meet and harmonise, without humiliation and without dishonor.
The declaration that political rights and franchises now enjoyed, are to be respected and maintained, involves the recognition of the amendments as parts of the Constitution, to be respected and obeyed. It is folly longer to hesitate in acquiescing in this result. The legislative and executive departments have de clared their adoption, and according to the spirit of Chief Justice Tany's decision in the Rhode Island case, the Judiciary cannot reverse the decision of the political departments upon a political question. Jn recognizing the result, we neither approve nor excuse the proceeding whereby it was attempted to declare one of the amendments ratified by the Indiana Legislature, without the pres ence of a constitutional quorum. The people cannot allow that proceeding to become a precedent in the future. Their most important rights are imperiled if they allow any legislative act in the absence of a constitutional quorum. I now appeal to men of all sides to resolve that parties and politicians shall not be permitted to make political advantage by disregarding and trampling upon the restrictions imposed upon legislative action by the Constitution of the State. Let us preserve these restrictions in all their force, because they protect our rights and safety, as the merchant guards his stores by bolts and bars, as the farmer protects the wealth growing upon his fields by high and strong enclosures.
Upon the subject of the tariff, Mr. Greeley is known to differ with the Democrats, and many Republicans, but he has agreed to a fair, safe, and honorable adjustment of that question. It is to be regarded as the people's business to be regulated by them in the selection of members of Congress, and the President is not to attempt to control by the veto power, or the use of his patronage. This agreement, in advance, between Mr. Greeley and the people, is not only fair and safe, but it is in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution, which expressly provides that all revenue measures shall originate in the House of Representatives.
With confidence and earnestness I appeal to my Democratic brethren when I read tlfe" following from Mr. Greeley's letter of acceptance "That the civil authority should be supreme over the nailitary that the writ of habeas/corpus Shirtjljd. be jealously upheld as tbasafegijafd/ of personal 1 reedom th«t thf'iudiYidual citizen should enjoy the lHterty consistent with public order, auditliat[there shall be no Federal supervision,6f the internal policy of the several States and municipalities, but that each shall be left free to enforce the rights and promote the well-being of its inhabitants by such means as the judgment of its own people shall prescribe."
1
The constitutional rights of the States are no longer to be stripped from thera and hung upon the horns of an aggressive centralization. These local selfgovernments are to be preserved in thet future as in the past to protect our do-* mestic and fireside rights. The States, without supervision, are to regulate their internal polity and through their laws, their courts, and their officers, are to make safe and secure all our rights of person, of reputation, of property and estate so that, in the language of our Constitution, "justice shall be administered freely and without purchase completely and without denial speedily and without delay."
The writ of habeas corpus, the ancient right of freemen, is jealously to be upheld, and the citizen is to enjoy the largest liberty consistent with public order.
I am sure that Democrats and Republicans alike must rejoice that these ancient principles of government and sen timents of our people are once more to inspire our laws and animate the public policy
Mr. Greeley "expressly pledges himself to be "the President, not of a party, but of the whole people," and that the reform in the civil serviceshall be real, and not simulated, and that to remove all temptation to use his power selfishly, he submits to a rule inexorably forbidding his re-election. Men of all parties must approve that, with heart ana judgment. Governor Morton thinks we do not know what civil service reform means. He will find that we understand it, and that the people, without respect to party differences, understand it, and that they will have the reform. The plainest mind, if honest, easily comprehends it. It means that "honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employment it means that men are not to be appointed to office merely because they are the relatives, or subservient tools of party leaders it means that men are not to be appointed whose only claim is that they have been the corrupt agents of a party, and with foul hands have defiled the people's ballotbox it means that the public offices belong to the people, and that their duties are to be discharged by faithful men, and only for the public good. I believe il means all that, and this too, that men who hold appointments to discharge administrative duties, who are faithful and efficient, and do not prostitute their positions to the service of party, ought not to be removed because of their political opinions. If men of that character are retained, they become a check upon the supporters of the party in power, who may attempt fraudulent practices upon the Treasury. Vouchers could not then be withdrawn and raised, and additional thousands drawn upon them. The sum of the whole matter is, that the ublic offices ought to be filled and their uties discharged for the country, and not for a party.
Now, what think you, when the people of Indiana are told that "General Grant has gone fnrther and done more in
pi

jmprpvemeiit^
civil service than any or in fact all of the presidents who have gone before him TgSrhat is hard upon his predecessors. Mast of them. wex# thought to be diligent in their\offices.
With prompt removal and severe nbrose-v' dutions the few defaulters fend? othefj wrong-doers in office. LSurely ieverybod^Q-
knows that our civil scrvice has never before been so demoralized. The cases are too numerous to repeat, and they aggregate millions of dollars, and comparativelyrrone are prosecuted. How can it be otherwise when the President himself, his Cabinet officers, and heads of important bureaus, abandon the posts of duty,, and for much of the time seek pleasure in scenes of fashion and dissipation It is hot amid fsuch scenes that the industrial classes construct our greatness and our power.. Say what you may of Mr. Greeley's eccentricities, this you know, that his associations are mainly with the common people, and his sympathies are in their pursuits. It is folly to look to this Administration for reforms. In the three and a half years of its history the reforms have not been made, but the service has constantly grown worse. Measures of reform in Congress are resisted on the ground that they are attacks upou the Administration, and upon the statement that, our service is the best in the world. A change is necessary to secure reform. It is the President's personal partisans now in office, who are wronging the people. He can not, or he will not remove them. The people will cut the knot by promoting Mr. Greeley, who is not embarrassed by pledges to these men, or special support from them.
Ought General Grant to be re-elected If this be a question of personal and family claim to the office I will not discuss it, for that is below the region of patriotic argument. It can only be considered with reference to what the rights, the interest and the honor of the American people require.
The political offense of nepotism has been deliberately and publicly defended and justified in our midst, otherwise I would not refer to it, for the facts must be known to you, and your judgments can not be uncertain.
The instances of this offense have not been rare, but numerous they have not been confined to the President's family, but have extended to the families of his special and personal supporters. They can not be excused nor paliated on the ground that the persons appointed were qualified, for in many instances the appointments were not fit to be made. In one instance a brother-in-law of the President was compelled by the force oftjpublic sentiment, condemning bis conduct, to resign a high office, but his resignation has not been accepted.
Many persons have been appointed to important and lucrative offices, who would not have been thought of, had they not been related to the family of the President or one of his personal supporters. The vice of regarding office as a right of "family possession," was long since condemned, and upon the authority of Mr. Sumner, and without furthjerexamination, I venture the assertion', that prior, to this Administration) "only one President has appointed relatives." That exceptional case was the. elder Adams, and he offended in only two instances. Public opinion compelled him (Continued on Third Page.
