GREELEY TEMPLE DEDICATION.

A Vast Concourse of People Listen to Able and Eloquent Speeches from Messrs. HciidrickSj Toorhees and

Uauim.

'I'lielmlned Eloquence.

THE TEMPLE.

The grand Greeley Temple was completed yesterday and most auspiciously dedicated last night. The structure occupies a position at the northeast corner of Ohio and Eighth streets, on a large lot donated by Dr. Read for that purpose during the campaign. The structure is commodious, secure and neat, and will comfortably seat about eleven hundred people.

Last afternoon a flag-staff was put up to an astounding altitude, and its apex was very appropriately crowned with a mammoth white hat, in honor of Mr. Greeley, the people's candidate.

In the evening, at an early hour, the ^people of the city and surrounding country began to assemble under the spacious roof of the Temple, and arrived in crowds until not only the Temple was filled, but the streets and open space around about, as far as the eye could penetrate in the dense darkness outside

#the

enclosure, which was brilliantly lighted with gas. Many inside were ladies, and some very handsome and intelligent ones, too.

Toute's Band were present, and added to the interest of the occasion by rendering some of their best selections in the most satisfactory manner, which means that they did wonders.

Just before the speaking commenced the towering and noble forms of Hendricks, Voorhees, Hanna, Mack and other of Terre Haute's gifted orators appeared upon the platform and were greeted with a perfect storm of applause, which endured with unabated ardor for some minutes.

We noticed on the stage, besides these gentlemen, during the hours of speaking, Judge Keys, of Washington Miss Laura Ream, of the Cincinnati Commercial the officiating priest of the Catholic church' of this city, a gentleman of flne personal appearance as weli as a schollarly and cultivated gentleman Simon Hirsch, of the J?(form C. H. Allen, of the Daily Express, and other ladies and gentlemen of distinction too numerous to mention.

This mighty concourse of people was called to order by Joseph Gilbert, Esq., Chairman of the Executive Committee, Mho introduced the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Liberal and Democratic candidate for Governor, who stepped forward to the front of the stage and said

REMARKS OF MR. HENDRICKS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN This is an occasion of

MORE THAN ORDINARY INTEREST to the Democracy and Conservative citizens of the city of Terre Haute. You dedicate by this meeting to the cause of truth this structure which is to protect during the canvass the people from the inclemency of the weather at your meeting. It will be understood then that this Temple is dedicated and established to the cause of truth, for in this contest for the supremacy in Indiana and the supremacy in the nation our reliance is placed upon truth. [Applause.] We lack many of the elements of power possessed ly our opponents we lack a standing army which has been used in the Southern States to control the elections with we lack an army of 60,000 office holders who stand with arms already drawn we lack the power of the Administration for the control of the immense patronage which belongs to those who can be corrupted by it. We rely upon honest hearts and the strong right arms of the people of Indiana aud the nation. [Great applause.]

I have a few things to say, first to my PUMOCRATIC FELLOW-CITIZENS. It so happened last winter and spring, that in many of the States, and dually by a great convention of Republicans, at Cinciunati, it was decided by a large number of that party, that they could no louger co-operate with the supporters of General Grant. [Applause.] They decided to separate themselves from the organization and they proposed to all men, of all political parties, to act with them for the establishment of a better system of government in this country. Afterward, at Baltimore, a great convention was holden, according to the usages of the Democratic party a convention in which the Democracy of every State and every Territory was represented according to the customs of the party. At that convention the proposition made at Cincinnati was accepted, and the ticket adopted atCincinuati ana the platform adopted at Cincinnati were nominated and adopted at Baltimore. So it came to be that

MR. GREELEY AND GOVERNOR BROWN, on that platform, became the candidates of the Liberal and Conservative Republicans and the Democracy of the United States. And under that national banner the contest is now being made. [Ap~ plauswj.]

I desire to call your attention for a little while to the platform upon which these candidates stand. I need not speak to you much of the candidates

Greele?

TERRE HAUTE

you he is known in every neighbor hood in the United States. He is known the world over, wherever the English language is spoken and understood From an humble estate as a boy, he has raised himself up by the force of his talent, industry and Integrity to the very head one of a great profession. He is now recognized by all parties as standing at the head.

Now, I know many object to him be' cause he is an old opposer of the Demo cratic party. It is said that he has abused us Democrats so much that we canno^ support him. Why, gentlemen have we not abused him quite as rau as he has us? [Applause.] And Is not this a year of general amnesty and do we not now carry on this great and terrible fight for the institutions and liberty of our country, not caring for men so we .find the right principles being supported by the men

Of Gratz Brown I know, personally much more than Idoof Mr. Greeley. served with Governor Brown in the United States Senate. I know him to be a man of talent and learning, and very determined in the support of what he believes to be right. Governor Brown came to occupy a very prominent position in American politics under peculiar circumstances. Gentlemen, you recollect five years ago, in the State of Missouri, when a \|ihite man, if he were a Democrat, was not safe in his home at niglit he did not know what hour of the night he Would hear an unwelcome rap on his door smmmoning him to imprisonment and cruel punishment. Five years ago, in the State of Missouri a white man, if he were a Democrat, was not allowed to vote he was not allowed to hold office he was not allowed to sit upon a jury he was a proscribed, condemned, branded aud humble man according to the laws of the State of Missouri. Such being the horrid condition of the people of that State, Governor Brown and Carl Schurz stepped out from the Republican ranks and tendered to the Democrats the "right hand of fellowship." [Applause.] They said to the Democrats of Missouri, it is not right that you should be compelled to obey laws and pay taxes, aud have no voice in the making of the laws. And they proposed to the Democrats, joint action, concurrent action, that they would get together and restore once more the liberties of the people of Missouri.

The Democrats of Missouri accepted their proposition. They made Gratz Brown Governor of that State, and from that day to this the Democrat lying down in his home in Missouri has been as safe as the citizen of Vigo county, in Indiana. [Applause.] From that day the Democratic white man in the State of Missouri has been made a voter he has been made a juror he has been made competent to hold office aud once more the crown of American citizenship has been placed upon the foreheads of the Democrats of Missouri.

Great applause.] When I know thatall the rights of citizenship that are enjoyed by the Democrats of Missouri has been through the election of Gratz Brown, I gladly give him my support and on the 4th of March next he will be inaugurated the Vice President of tbe United States. [Long coutinued applause.]

Now, having spoken to you thus briefly of the candidates, I will next examine the principles upon which they stand.

Are they such principles as Democrats can support? Are they such principles as an independent Republican can support? I will ask your attenion very briefly to

THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM,

on'which they stand, and upefti which this battle is to be fought, and as expressed by Mr. Greeley in his letter of acceptance: [Reads.] 1. Political rights and franchises now enioved are to be respected and maintained. 2. Universal Amnesty—so that there shall be "no proscribedclass, and no disfranchised caste"—but "complete pacification in all sections of the country." [Applause.] 3. Local self-governmeut to guard the rights of all citizens more securely than by centralized power—and this requires the preservation of the 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 Constutional limitations of power"—"the civil authority shall be supreme over the military"—"the writ of habeas corpus shall bejealously upheld as the safeguard of personal freedom"—[Great applause] "the individual citizens shall enjoy the largest liberty consistent with public order"—"and there shal* be no Federal supervision ot the internal polity of the several States."

What Democrat hesitates to support, that proposition What Republican says that that this is not political truth Go back to the writings of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,* John Quincy Adams and General Jackson, and you will learn the doctrine of State rights, expressed almost as we find it in the letter of acceptance of Mr. Greeley. The citizens in their rights of self-government under the Constitution of the United States, shall be preserved and maintained. What man. Democrat or Republican, hesitates to give his support to that proposition. Who of you, intelligent men and women, are willing to look afar oil' to Washington City for the redress of your wrongs, for the preservation of your rights? If your neighbor shall invade your rights, disturb you in your property, shall place his fence across on your side of the deviding line if tfe shall with vile tongue traduce your wife or daughter, where do you go to get redress of your wrongs? You do not make a pilgrimage to Washington for redress. You go into the courts organized under the State laws and there assert your rights and have your wrongs redressed. [Applause.] Under this system of government, people prosper. Let us trust, then, the wisdom of our fathers, and maintain our local, State and fireside governments at home. [Renewed 'applause.] Who in this vast crowd but desires to maintain that great right of personal freedom, the right of the writ of habeas corpus that right, asserted in olden times by the great men of our race, that has come down to our people for so many centuries, to protect the American in his liberty. Whoever wishes to maintain this birthright of every American citizen, let them rally under the banner now carried by the Democracy and the Liberal Republicans. [Great applause.]

Mr. Hendricks here read as follows 4. "There shall be a real and not merely a simulated reform in the civil service of the Republic"—the civil serrice must cease to be the instrument of partisan tyranny, and the object of personal ambition and' selfish greed—[Applause]—but 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 be a candidate for re-election.

I regard this as one of the most important propositions in the platform. I regard it as one of the most important elements in the,great contest now being urged itr this country. There shall be a real and not a simulated reform in the civil service. Who says there is no need of oivil ice tepbhn? Hie polittotka W&9 demands tbe e?eiee$Qa pf General

Grant will tell you and me that there is no need of reform. They tell us in the Senate of the United States that our civil service reform system is the best in the world. In the House of Repre sentatives the people are told that the de mand for civil service reform is an attack upon General Grant's administration The last proposition is true. [Applause. It is an attack on the present Adminis tration and that attack was made last winter in the House of Representatives and that attack as begun in the Capitol at Washington has been taken up by four million of American voters and will be carried on until the image of re form shall sit in triumph over the na tional Capital, aud over every State Cap ital in this Republic. [Great applause.]

During the last session of'Congress almost every one of the departments at Washington were on trial before some Congressional committee on charges fraud. [Laughter]. Charles Sumner, Carl Schurz, Lyman Trumbnil, Tipton and Fenton, the great men of the Republican party in the United States Senate, said that the departments would be convicted on the. charges if the committees were not packed to acquit them.

You will recollect that, in former days there were no defaults. Under Jackson's administration, there was not a dollar lost. Under John Quincy Adams' administration, not a dollar was lost During the whole of the administration of Franklin Pierce, with that great man, James Guthrie, of Louisville, at the head of the Department, there was not a dollar of the people's money lost. Now the defaults are by the hundreds, aggt'e gating millions, and yet they tell you that there is no need of civil service reform. I will not ask you to take my word on this subject. It so happens that upon these material and important questionsl hold the documents in my hand which establishes it. Not from the mouths of Democrats or sore head Republicans, [laughter] but from the mouths of General Grant's own administration. The wrong had become so unbearable, and the outraged people so clamorous, that Congress was obliged to do something. It was compelled to provide a Commission to examine mto the condition of the public service, and report if possible some remedy. General Grant, as President, appointed seven gentlemen that Commission. They were not Democrats, though I don't know how many of them support Mr. Greeley now.

Mr. Hendricks then read the names, among them, George William Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly, Joseph Medill, Mayor of Chicago, Messrs. Walker, Cox and others,all friendly to the Administration at that time.

Mr. Hendricks then continued as follows: These are thejmen that General Grant, pursuent to that order of Congress, appointed to investigate the condition of the public service.- They made a report in December last and General Grant laid it before Congress. I cannot read it all I wish I could. I wish every man in Vigo could read this report, and I think Gen. Grant would not get a single vote in the county. [Applause.] Such is my confidence in the integrity of thepeople, that after reading this report, I think no man can support him. [Great applause.] This report goes on to showwhy our public service is so bad and it is mainly because favoritism, privilege and partisanship control the appointment to office. But I will read this single passage "It is not easy," these commissioners say, "to compute in figures the difference between a good and a bad system of public service." Well, it is difficult [laughter] it is very difficult for you to tell how much the people lose in dollars and cents by a bad administration of the laws and it is very difficult for you to tell in dollars and cents how much the people gain by a good administration of the public laws. "It is," they say, "necessarily a matter of inference and comparison, but it is calculated by those who have made a careful study of all the facts, that onefourth of the revenues of the United States are annually lost in their collection, and a large part of that loss is attributed to the fatally unsound condition of the public service."

Never since this Government began was there so startling a truth read to an American audience from a public document, never. One-fourth of the revenues lost before reaching the Treasury and that, too, because our "public service is fatally unsound." Yes, fatally unsound. Strong language. And yet they tell you that it is all going well with you that the American people are great and prosperous and happy. Yet a commission appointed by General Grant is compelled to say to you that one-fourth of the revenues of the country, collected from the people, is lost before reaching the public treasury. How much is that Last year from the sources of revenue there ought to have been paid into the treasury about $370,000,000, and the year before something over $400,000,000, but this report says one-fourth of it is lost. That makes $100,000,000 a year lost, and you are told this is the best civil service system in the world. $100,000,000 lost to the people per year No people in the world pay their taxes more cheerfully than the. American people. Whatever is necessary to carry on the Government, economically administered, in peace or war, is cheerfully given but none of us, gentlemen, like to have that which we pay in for the public good, appropriated for the vile purposes of building up tbe favored few. [Applause.] If we pay out but one cent tax on a box of matches, with which to light cigars or pipes, we wish it to go to its proper place, in the Treasury. But every fourth of that cent goes into somebody's pocket. [Laughter.] If, upon the woolen goods from which you make dresses for your little girl to go to shool next winter, and you thus pay a dollar into the national Treasury through the tariff, you want it to go for the public good. [Applause.] But, oh it is very hard when taxes shall thus come right home into the domestic circle, that the money thus taken from the laboring people shall go to the favored and pampered who surround the national Treasury. [Great applause.] One hundred million dollars a year 1 They say this country is very prosperous to-day and you'd better let General Grant stay four years longer. For one, I don't believe il I don't think any country is prosperous where good paper in the bank is about 12 percent, interest when the enterprise of the country is relying on capital at 12 per cent, interest, it is not a prosperous state of public affairs. They will soon claim that' the rich crops of this year are owing to the beneficent administration of public affairs [laughter and applause] they will soon claim that the abundant harvest now being gathered and put into tbe granaries will be lost if Grant, and Boutwell, and Creswell, and Morton, and Chandler, and Butler, and Conkling do not live. [Long continued daughter.] Our people.to tbe extent they are prosperous is not because of the present public administration of affairs, but because of their rich land, economy, enterprise and industry^ Thus they are prosperous in |spite of a bad Administration, •of public ofaaem ^vety ipn in favor

ner and vote for Greeley [great ap plause] but he who wants four years more of just such government as we have had for the last three years and a half, let him vote for Grant [a voice— "d—n if I do"—shouts of laughter] you still want money to be lost before it reaches the Treasury, after being collected off the people, vote for Grant! But every man who is in favor of reform, let him determine thafc^ there shall be change in the Administration.

I will call your .atteution to the next proposition. You all know that the Democracy, and many Republicans differ with Mr. Greeley

the question of

THE TARIFF,

that Mr. Greeley long ago agreed with Henry Clay in favor of a protective tariff, and that the Democracy and many Republicans were only in favor of a revenue tariff. Mr. Greeley has agreed that the question of taxation, whether by tariff or otherwise, is a question for the people to decide in tbe election of members of Congress and that the President shall not interfere with the questions of tariff in any way, eithe/ by the use of patronage or by his veto. I say this is fair, and honorable, and safe. It is the spirit of the Constitution. Under the Constitution, every revenue measure must originate in the people's House of Representatives The' Senate cannot originate a tax bill the President can not originate a tax bill. The Constitution provides that it shall originate in the House of the people's Representatives. Therefore you will see that Representatives have control of this legislation. You men who are in favor of a high protective tariff, you men men who are in favor of taxing yourselves more than the revenues of the Government require, in order that the manufacturers may be enabled to charge higher prices upon their goods, go and vote for Mr. Hunter, for Congress and you friends who are in favor of a revenue tariff only, go and vote for Mr. Voorhees. [Great applause.]

I now come to the question of LAND GRANTS, and I wish to say that I believe many grants of lands, in aid of works of internal improvement in the early settlement of the country, have .been useful and proper. I believe it was proper to aid Indiana in the construction of her canal by a grant of land in the early times, when our people were not able to build any works of internal improvement. It was proper to aid iu the construction of the Michigan Railroad, connecting the waters of the lake on the north, to the river on the south that J,t was proper, in my judgment, to aid in the construction of the great Central Railroad of Illinois, by grant of land, in the earlier history of that State. These grants rested upon consideration of public interest, and the results have proven the wisdom of that legislation. But, gentlemen, in these latter days, when the Treasury was not sufficient to satisfy the cupidity of official leeches at Washington, they have attached themselves to the public lands, and have made the people's domain the subject of their greed and plunder. Rally, Democrats and Liberal Republicans, elect Horace Greeley, and from that time on, this plunder of public lands will cease forever, [Applause,] and tbe public domain shall be exclusively for the benefit of the actual settlers. 'Oh," they say, "General Grant is in favor of that, too."

They say in their platform adopted at the Philadelphia Convention, that which re-nominated General Grant, declared against railroad grants And, gentlemen, when they make that declaration to the American people, they insult the understanding, the intelligence and the integrity of every American voter. [Applause.] General Grant has no sympathy with the actual settler. His sympathies are with the Grants [laughter] with the enormous grants [voice: "and the Dents"], that have taken away from the people so much of the public lands.—so much so, gentlemen, that since General Grant has become President, there has been granted away by bills that he has signed, more lands than three times the entire area of Indiana [sensation], and yet they say to you that they are opposed to land grants. We know Horace Greeley is for when he was a member of Congress many, many years ago, he introduced the first bill into the American Congress declaring in favor of the homestead policy. He is the authoforthat idea in Congress. [Applause.]

Mr. Hendricks concluded his remarks most ably and eloquently, at great length, and was followed by Mr. Voorhees, in a half hour's speech full of pungent points, in which he defended himself most successfully against the speech of Gen. Hunter, which appeared in the GAZETTE of Tuesday. Mr. Hanna was also called, and made a few remarks, the whole making our report so voluminous that we find it impossible to give place to it all in this issue therefore we will finish to-morrow, as the speeches will keep."

NEW YORK, August 8.—The Times special from Raleigh, N. C., says Re^ turns from eleven of the thirteen western counties to be heard from are in, and give Caldwell a net gain of forty-seven Only two counties now to hear from. Caldwell's majority is over 2,000. The Republicans will have a grand jollifica tion meeting Thursday night. There will be a torchlight procession, burning of barrels, etc. Senator Pool, ex-Senator Abbott, Hon. S. F. Phillips, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, and other distinguished Republicans, will deliver an address.

The Tribune's special from Raleigh acknowledges the result is no longer doubtful. Caldwell's majority is placed at 1,323. It says: "And yet the election is far from being triumph for the Grant party. The Governorship of this State is only a nominal honor, unless the incumbent has the Legislature to back him. On the other hand, the Conservatives have, in fact, chosen a majority of the members to Congress, and will send to Washington another Senator in accord with the Liberal Administration, should that party be successful in gaining the November election."

The Tribune comments editorially on the election of Caldwell by a majority probably exceeding 1,000. It intimates that sufficient facts regarding the matter and the way in which Caldwell has been counted are in the possession of Judge Merriman to warrant him in undertaking anew contest for the Gubernatorial seat. Meantime, it says, though we lose the Governor, the substantial fruits of victory remain with us, and we have in our hands the power of displacing Caldwell, provided honest returns should show him unfairly elected. We should be glad to carry the Governor, and believe that if the votes were honestly cast they would have secured his election but even without it the bulk of the victory is ours.

The Times thinks the result in North Carolina may be regarded as foreshadowing that of the Presidential election.

The World says "We are reluctantly compelled to believe that Caldwell, the Republican candidate for Governor, has been elected by a small majority but the Democrats have a majority in both branches of the Legislature, and a majority of the members of Congress. The practical lesson to be drawn from the result is, that the friends of the Democratic Presidential candidate should not delude themselves with the notion that they can elect him by mere enthusiasm, without effort."

Messrs. McHenry and Hamon, prominent in the Erie Railroad since the revolution in its management, sailed yesterday for Europe. Vice-President Diven tendered his resignation Tuesday, but it was not accepted and he is now presiding in the absence of President Watson.

Application was made yesterday to the Commissioners of the Charities of Correction for the removal of Stokes from his present cell to one less damp and more comfortable. The application is based on a certificate of Dr. Wood, his attending physician, who represents the prisoner suffering from bronchites and, astfema, and his general health is worse than at any time since his imprisonment.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—The Tribune's Washington special says that a telegram was received at the Interior Department yesterday from Secretary Delano's family at Mt. Vernon, stating that the Secretary is lying ill, and fears are entertained of his speedy recovery. His son, John Delano, Chief Clerk of the Department, who was at Berkley Springs, Va., was summoned home by telegraph. Others of the family have also been called home..

NEW YORK, August 8.—Gold showed a further weakness yesterday. The decline is probably due to the expectation of freer sales by the Secretary of the Treasury to-day. Owing to the heavy customs reports the past week, exchange was nominal. The commission made was one-fourth to three-fourths per cent. Money was easy, although somewhat disturbed by the prospect of approaching activity. The discount market was dull.
