GREELEY TEMPLE DEDICATION.

A Yast Concourse of People Listen to Able and Eloquent Speeches from Messrs. Hendricks, Yoorhees and llnnna.

-Unchained Eloquence."

SPEECH OF MR. HENDRICKS—CONTINUED. I will call your attention to some of the railroad grants that have been made since General Grant has become Preaideht, and only a few of them. His name is very suggestive of his action in this matter. [Laughter.] He is the great granting President to railroad corporations.

There is the Northern Pacific Railroad. Tt was valueless from 1864 to 1870, th«ii 3t became a most valuable grant, under a, law passed that year. Thirty-four million acres passed to that corporation tmd-er the law of 1870.

Then there was the Texas Pacific •Railroad bill, approved March 3d, 1871 the New Orleans, Baton Rouge & Vicksburg Railroad, connecting with the Texas Pacific the Oregon & Portland, from Portland to Astoria and the Southern Pacific. I will not attempt to allude to them all, but will say that if you are in favor of retaining the public lands for actual settlers, you had better march under the Greeley banner and vote with us for if you are for the re-election of General Grant to the Presidency, you are against saving this land from the grasp of monopolies, and for the actual settlers. The present President has shown his devotiou to such a policy. I think I feel as much interest upon this question as any man can. When but a child, my home was in the woods of Indiana. [Applause.] I saw neighborhood after neighborhood down in Shelby county gradually developed. I know something of the value of the American Jands to the American people. When I came to be a man, I was by the favor of one of our Presidents made Commissioner of the General Land Office. I had the supervision of the public lands of Indiana for nearly four years, during which time I had the management and sale of large bodies of Indiana land belonging to the Government. I managed and disposed of it and I know what it is, too, in making settlements, to avoid the conflicts and strifes between citizens. I don't like to see this grand inheritance of the people given away for the benefit of a few monopolists. You do not know how rich a corporation may be made by grants of land, such as have been made within the last two or three years but you can tell how poor the people can be rnade by having their lands thus given away. [Applause.] Why, it used to be with a young man in Indiana, if he found he was unable to buy land in the neighborhood where he was reared, and could raise $100 and go to a land office somewhere in the West, select 80 acres and buy it for himself or gather together $200 and go and buy 160 acres, and lay the foundation for a good farm in the future. He would build his cabin in the forest or upon the prairie. When all was ready he would return to the old neighborhood, and marry the "girl he left behind him." [Laughter.] Then,together, they would go out to that log cabin, and soon the smoke would ascend from that log. cabin, on the beautiful prairie, or in the dense forest, as the case might be, and around that cabin would gather other cabins, and soon there would be a new neighborhood, and soon school houses and churches would be built, and thus would be laid the foundation of the future city. If you are in favor of having iand for the actual settlers, I advise you to vote with the Democrats and the Liberal Republicans in the year 1872. [Applause.] And after the 4th of March next, I will undertake to say, there will never be another improper grant of public land to any railroaYi corporation. [Renewed applause.] I say, God speed the day when railroad lands shall be saved to the men, women and children of this country. [Great applause.]

While I am at it, I believe I will consider two propositions of the REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. I beg your pardon, I said Republican platform I ought not to say Grant platform, in this connection, because I think a good many Republicans go with us, or we go with them, or we come midway, I don't know which. [Laughter.] I guess I had better say Grant party. [Voice: "That's right."] Because it has got down so low that it is no longer a party of free government. It has come down to the devotion of a man and his family. [Great applause.] Grant men are what I am talking about. Let us look into their platform. Here we have tbem declaring iu favor of abolishing the "franking privilege." Every member of Congress has a right to send letters and documents through the mails to his constituents at home that is letters and documents relating to business as between the Representative and his constituency.

Now, I will tell you why they put that resolution in their platform. Became they know that the privilege is much abused by their own members of Congress, for political purposes that they had to declare their own opposition to it in order to satisfy the people. [Applause.] The next week after they passed that resolution and incorporated it into their platform adopted at the Philadelphia Convention, in the Senate of the United States the Hon. Lyman Trumbull moved to take the bill from the table to abolish the franking privilege and General Grant's Senators would not let it be done they would not let it be voted upon and it lies on the table to this day! And yet they have a majority of two-thirds, and had it in their power to abolish it had they wished to do so. The business of this department is behind in its accounts with the Treasury and the people contribute out of the National Treasury from $500,000,000, to $700,000,000"a year to efts*

JSfcW****

tain the business of the department.

IIP

as these men say President Grant wants the franking privilege abolished, why didn't they abolish it they had the power in Congress, alid then it would now be done? instead, they say in their platform that they are in favor of abolishing it. I was speaking about it to a friend of mine, and he handed me these docu* meats, [exhibiting same.] These came through the mails. One is the frank of JohnCobum, member of Congress from Indianapolis the other is the frank of some man iu Congress named Hays. I never knew or heard tell of Mr Hays, M. C., until I saw this document. [Laugh* ter.] Who is Mr. Hays? [Laughter.]

Mr. Voorbeee, a member of Congress from Illinois. Mr. and here is another, frank of James Harlan, a Senator who, after the 4th of March next, will be a Senator no more forever, [great applause] and that too, by the judgment of his own party in the Legislature of his own State (Iowa) upon expressed charges of most corrupt fraud. But he is there yet, and sent these documents out. And here is one from O. P. Morton it is not addressed to anybody. [Laughter.] It came in a package of about a dozen, perhaps fifty, I don't know. It was, sent to a gentleman who, a few months ago, was a Grant Republican, but before they could get the package to him, he was converted to a Liberal Republican. [Applause.] So be handed me the documents. Now what do you think it is? It is a speech in the German language, and has the advantage of me. [Laughter.] It is "Circular No. 5." They have got some game, I believe, called "No. 5." [Renewed laughter.] It is a great game to cheat and swindle. [Applause.] It was sent out under the frank of a man who will soon come arouud, no doubt, and tell you that te is in favor of abolishing the franking privilege.

This "Circular No. 5" is about Carl Schurz. It was issued on Tuesday of last week and you kuow Carl Schurz had made his great speech the night before. He bad made in that speech, in the city of St. Louis, the hardest charge ever made against any President of the United States. That charge was that President Graut had sought to bribe him, as a Senator, in respect to a treaty to have him support the San Domingo treaty, a nefarious job that Grant and his friends were interested in and to get his support, offered him control ot enough of the patronage of the Government to make him independent in politics. [Laughter.] That is, the President would give to Mr. Schurz, for his support of the San Domingo job, control of the people's offices. In round words that was the proposition. A Cabinet meeting was called. That was a queer Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. [Laughter.] I will read you the language of a dispatch I saw, describing it for it is the queerest thing I ever saw even in the way of a dispatch. [Reads.-} "WASHINGTON CITY.—The President arrived here this morning and contrary to general expectation will remain until tomorrow evening. [Laughter.]

He was going to stay two days. [Renewed laughter.] "Secretary Boutwell has returned from Massachusetts The Postmaster General (Creswell) has returned from Elkon Secretary Fish gave up his pleasures at Garrison's on the Hudson in order to be present at the Cabinet meeting." [Laughter.]

It is a great pity to disturb them all. [Continued laughter.] Grant was happy at Long Branch Creswell was happy at Elkon, on the eastern shores of Maryland, singing My Maryland." Mr. Fish—Governor Fish—very happy on the Hudson river. [Shouts of laughter.] Grant leaves Long Branch Creswell leaves My own MarylandFish leaves the Hudson! Something happened but they could not get Delano, this Secretary of the Iuterior chap oh no. He was down in North Carolina. [A voice "He's down there voting yet." Laughter and applause.]

Now, what do you think all this stir was about? Generally, when Cabinets meet, questions of commerce and trade, and other matters in the interest of the people come up. But this was no such Cabinet meeting as that they had no such business. It was to consider that hard charge Carl Schurz made against the President, at St. Louis. [Applause.] When they took their seats around the table, it was the most anxious Cabinet Couucii ever held. 1 suspect that Boutweli spoke first, and says: "Mr. President, there is not gold enough in the Treasury to wipe this stain out, if it be true." Says Creswell: "Mr. President, there is not enough steam and machinery to carry franked mail enough to satisfy the people of this country, if it be true." [Laughter.] And so they deliberated, and finally determined to give Carl Schurz the lie and so, next morning, they published it over the telegraph wires, that the statement of Carl Schurz, concerning the San Domingo treaty, was not true.

And it was on this same morning that this "circular No. 5" was issued. I suspect, though I don't know, that the circular was printed, and with Government material, issued from Government presses by employees in the pay of the Government. [Applause.] I do not know it.

It is stated to-day that nearly fifty clerks that you and I pay, are employed in directing Grant documents to load down the mails. This is one of that kind it was issued the morning after that memorable Cabinet Council I have described. It goes on to discuss Mr. Scburz's speech, and closes up by saying that the President, having given Carl Schurz the square denial, Senator Schurz must now walk up to the rack. And he did walk up to the rack and he did proove by General Pleasanton, one of General Grant's friends, that what he (Schurz) bad said was true, [applause] and that the President could not deny it. [Great applause.] And so, for the first time in American history, the preponderance of evidence is against the President of the United States, on a questiou of veracity.

So much for the franking privilege and the abolition of it. The privilege is a convenience W the people, if it is not abused but if it is abused, it is a burthen to the mails. And it is a greater burthen and labor to the member of Congress, when faithfully conducted. As the privilege is abused to-day it ought to be abolished and if I had a vote on the subject I would vote to abolish it, because it is not used for the purpose contemplated when first allowed. [Applause.]

Then there was another resolution passed by the Philadelphia Convention that I think is the queerest one that ever found its way into the politics of the country. You cannot guess what it is. It is the 14th resolution adopted by the re-nominating convention. I will read it and see if you can tell what it really does mean. [Reads:] 14. The Republican party is mindful 6f its obligations to the loyal Women of America for their noble devotion to the cause of freedom and their admission into wider fields of usefulness is received with satisfaction, and the honest demands of any right should be treated with respectful consideratiqn.

Have you any idea what that means? [Laughter.] I wonder what it really does mean If it is a left-hand lick at the ladies not sound their politics, I protest against it. [Applause.] They say

t&ey are Uoder obligations the loyal «fc£ion. [Applause.]

wotfien of America. So I suppose they bate all the rest of the women. [Laugh ter.] So a man caduot love any woman unless she is loyal. [Renewed laughter, If they start out with an idea like tha£ they Will not make much out of it. If they are in fa vol4 of female suffrage, why don't they say so? If they are in favor of women sittiug on juries, let them say so. The resolution looks like they wanted simply to find out whether they were inclined this way or that way if in their favor, they would be willing to give them the ballot, otherwise not.

If I am elected Governor of Indiana, which I think I am quite sure I will be, In October, [applause] I shall give my influence in favor of all laws, that are necessary and proper, to secure to the women, of Indiana, their rights, so that if any girl has an estate left her by her father or mother, that the laws shall project it to her so that the misfortunes of her hUsbahd shall not reach her property [Applause.] If that be woman's rights, I am for it, [Renewed applause.] As to the other question: that of the ladies voting, that is a question for Mrs. Hen dricks. [Laughter.] If she is in favor ot it, I am. Just so long as she is opposed to it, I am. [Long continued laughter.]

Now if you will give me your attention for a few minutes longer, I will ask and attempt to answer a question and that is

A QUEKTF.

Ought General Grant to be elected Presidents

[Many

voices of "No," and

some of "Yes."] Now I observe some in this crowd who said "Yes" when I asked the question if Grant should be re-elected now I will ask another and I will bring the qites« tion right before these gentlemen. Until this Administration the practice of the Chief Executive of the nation taking presents, was comparatively unknown [applause] but General Grant has received presents, aud it is not disputed though a Senator of influence in the United States Senate said it was right for the President of the United States to receive presents. The fact of the President receiving presents is conceded on every hand. But they say the presents be has received have been trifiiu# ones, since he became President. I am not speaking of trifling presents, such as canes, boxes of cigars, and the like. Such presents may be made because of friendship and regard. Iam speaking of money, bonds, houses, lots, equipages, libraries, and of such great value as to have made General Grant one of the rich men of this country.

For instance, on the 17th of November, 1869, just two weeks before he was inaugurated President of the United States, it appears that he received a great present from the citizens of New York a present in bonds, money and securities to the value of $105,000 more than the Constitution and laws of this country allow to the President as a salary for fotiV years, of service. But they say tha^A did not inconvenience the men wboi gaVe the presents, that they were rich men. That is true. "They didn't miss the amount," as Governor Morton said in his speech at Indianapolis it was no loss to them oh,no,for they made it pay afterwards anM realized handsome profits from their investments. As the President of the United States, he (Grant) signed a bill making bonds payable in gold, and before the ink was dry on his pen, every $1,000 bond of the 5-20 denomination became worth shores ,200. [Applause.] That signature made

Last year, or the year before, the Secretary of the Treasury paid $24,000,000 as premium upon that class of boudsi, and he claims a credit of that amount in his accounts. These bondholders could well afford to make any man rich, and "not miss it" if tbey could obtain control of the policy of the Government. [Great applause.]

I know George Washington received presents, yet he was offered some canal stocks in Virginia, which were expected soon to be very valuable, because he had not received any compensation or salary for his services in the revolutionary war, having even paid his own expenses, and failed to charge expenses. Did he receive that canal stock? No! A few days afterwards, a farmer friend sent him a box of home-made sugar, [Laughter and applause,] and he accepted it with a beautiful letter that is among his writings to-day.

Now I come to the question next following, my Grant friends. Wheif you come to cast your ballot, I wish to know, are you willing to write on the back of that ballot that all your neighbors may read it that the little boy that lies with curly head upon your knee, now, may read it, when he becomes a man and that your grand children may read it are you willing to write on that ticket, "I am in favor of the President of the United States, and endorse, with my vote, his receiving great presents, and appointing to valuable offices the men who made the presents?" [After a pause] Why, by heaven! I thought there were some brave men here a little bit ago! [applause] but now, when I ask him to come square up and writedown what he is willing to vote, for inspection, he staggers back. [Great applause.] He can't do it be don't want the little boy with the curly head to read it -when he comes to be a man.

Some one in the audience here arose, and, as best we could catch the import of his language, denied that General Grant had received presents as charged. Mr* Hendricks stated that Mr. Morton did not deny that Grant had received presents, and cited the gentleman to the speech of Mr. Morton, to be found in the Indianapolis Journal.

The Senator then took up the subject of the letter of General Butterfield in regard to the $105,000 present to Grant, and said:

That letter was written by General Butterfield, of New York, and General Grant acknowledged the receipt of, and tendered his thanks individually and collectively, to the gentlemen who sent him the handsome testimonial." Within three weeks after the receipt of that letter and those presents, General Butterfield received the appointment of the second best office in New York, Collector of Customs for the port of New York, and held that position until "Black Friday," that memorable day when the President's brother-in-law, Corbin, along with Gould and Fisk went .into that disgraceful scheme to raise gold in the market and it is reputed that the President had more than a brother-in-law interest in the disreputable transaction. [Applause.] Now, I claim that no conscientious man who is cognizant of these startling and well established facts can write upon his ballot what I have suggested.

I never loved the Democratic party, in its proudest days, when its banners floated in, triumph over land and sea, well enough to fight its battles, when I was ashamed to write my fight for it. [Great applause.] You cannot do it. This Administration is not defensible, and I say it with all kindness, it ought not to be defended. You should not vote for it, my Grant friends it is a pernicious system of government as now practiced, from which our country should be and I predict Wiirbe d^ltvered this coming

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 9, 1872.

I have another question to ask ih respect td appointments to important offices, a practice Grant has followed to an unexampled and demoralising degree. John Adams only appointed two relatives, Abd when the third asked to be appointed, he said, "No, I cannot appoint you. The two I have already appointed have excited such a storm of indignation and obloquy, that I cannot appoint any -more. Wi ea Jefferson came in as President, a relative of his from the Valley of the Sheuaudoah, asked ah appointment. He said "No you are my relative, and I cannot appoint you I cannot listen to you." John Adams disgraced his administration by appointing relatives to office, and he appointed but few. I will not discuss how many relatives General Grant has appointed some say eight, some thirteen, and some forty-three. Of this, however, there is no dispute, that he has appointed ail his able-bodied relatives over the age of twenty-one. [Laughter and applause.]

I will undertake this prophecy,and you Will bear

in mind, gentlemen, whether

I am a good prophet, that after the 4th of March next, you Will never, as long as you live, see a President of the United States appointing relatives to office or in consideration of presents. [Applause.] The 4th of March next, I predict, will be a memorable day in our history, [Great applause.] But while this matter of present-takingis fresh in our minds, I refer to the case of Gen. Thomas. Some of his friends offered him valuable presents for his unvaluable services in behalf of his country. but he refused, saying, "My country pays me for my services." [Applause.] That was the answer of a noble man.Li

Some years ago, When General Grant accepted the nomination for President, he closed his letter of acceptance with this memorable sentimeut, honored so among the American people "LET US HAVE PEACE."

You trusted him $ you relied upon him, and thought the war was over that the bloody artiisjiad been laid aside forever applause] that the farmer had returned to his farm once more the mechanic to his shops the lawyer to his office the doctor to his visits the preacher to(his pulpit and that the affairs of society dad once more turned into the channels of peace. And you accepted of General Grant's noble suggestion. The war was over then* aiid it is over now [applause] but tell me to-day what are the conditions of the South and her relations to the other States of the Government. Are they peaceful, prosperous and happy as they were four years ago That is, is it as well between the two sections of the country as it Was the day General Grant became President? You are Indiana men you love your State you, here, are proud of your beautiful city. I am not surprised you Should be, for she sits here ike a queen-bird in the prairie, so beautiful that it requires a poet to describe it.

Great applause.] I think you are and ought to te proud of your city proud of your machine shops proud of these rich ands that lie upon all sides of you. Now, don't you desire that there shall be prosperity in »ll sections of this country

Voices, "Ses, yes."] Indiana lies midway in thW-nation. She is a great State, an import§ht State. Far to the east o£ her, the«. rough Atlantic waves far to the west, the billows of the Pacific roll on the sandy ier interests are with the 'esttthe North, the South

hold of the comqaerce of the country. Great applause.] Let the South be prosperous. Let her produce her great staples—cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar. These staples come in conflict with none of our productions. Let all the various resources of the country be developed} let the South be encouraged for if there be two bails of cotton raised there in the future, where but one is raised now, the mechanic, in his shop, will feel it the farmej, on the rich land surrounding Terre Haute, will feel it» Because, just as soon as they sell their cotton, their rice, sugar and tobacco, to the Eastern States, they are ready to buy whatever you have to sell. Whether it be steam engines, cotton gins or a horse, a mule bacon, or farming utensils for working in the field or tools for working in the shop in short whatever it may be, tbey furnish you a better market than you enjoy iu the present dreadful state of affairs. Within tBfe last few years the Southern States, instead of having help at the hands of the Government, and encouragementfrom the Government, that they might rise up once more, in true loyalty, to the Government, and develop the resources of the country, have been harrassed and plundered by vampires, car-pet-baggers and scalawags, from the North. [Applause.]

Now, I want the Southern States, the Western States, the Eastern and all the States to be prosperous and peaceful because it is for the common good. I suppose I like Indiana a little better than most any of the other State, but I love my whole country, and I want all the States to prosper that we may go on to our great destiny. [Applause.]

Gentlemen, Horace Greeley has said, let us reach the hand across and clasp once more in friendship across the "bloody chasm" [great applause] that has been made in this country by civic strife let us no longer be enemies let us henceforth be friends let it be understood that the Northern and Southern men stand side by side under the same banner, under the same Constitution, maintain the same laws, and go on to a common destiny. [Applause.]

Now the Southern States are under carpet-bag government, which is fast drifting them into,bankruptcy. In South Carolina, where they had but a $3,000,.000 debt one year ago, under scalawag carpet-baggers and colored rule it now has a debt of about $17,000,000. North Carolina and Louisiana have also suffered from the same cause. They can hardly pay the interest on their debts in those States, much less the principal, which is constantly and rapidly increasing. When I see this and hear them appeal for help, I am not going to ask the question whether the man I am going to vote for, who says he will deliver them, was an opponent of Democracy fifty years ago. [Great applause.]

What if Indiana were in the condition of South Carolina to-day if white men in Indiana were not allowed to vote, to hold office, sit upon juries and were allowed none of the rights of citizenship, but were proscribed and branded, having no voice in the making of laws, yet paying taxes, and Indiana were to cry across to the South to help us elect a President ,who would close up the "bloody chasm," what would you think if the South were to say, "We can not sacrifice our consistency we must know how your candidate stood thirty years ago. [Applause.] Gentlemen, let ns do right. Democrats and Liberal Republicans, let us be just let us, by our votes, help save the South let us take hold of and control the Government for the benefit of the whole people, and not for the benefit of a few. [Great applause.]

A FEW WO0DS

on another subject, and I will detain you no longer. I was nominated for Governor on th# 12th of June last not that want#} that nomination, for it waa, against saypeftonal interests to accept the nq^na-

-wp s-w --^swateii®.' ,£« asi.-

tion not only, but to discharge the duties of the office when I am elected in October. [Applause.] But I beg you, gentlemen, to understand me, that It is not because I fehink the office of Governor of Indiana not a very high honor. I do esteem it a very important office. The people of Indiana now number about 1,600,000, and before the expiration of the term for which I am to be elected, [Great applause,] the population of the State will probably be 2,000,000 people, [Applause,] a wonderful and a mighty

geople,

a great and a growing

tate the busy hum of manufacturing, from lake to river, making music for the masses with its mineral lands, yet to be more fully developed though now unsurpassed with such a State and such a people, to be its chief officer surely is honor enough. [Great applause.] If elected, which I certainly will be, I shall not seek my reward in salary that shall be received by me exactly according to the law, no more, no less but the reward I shall seek will be your approval. [Applause.] If 1 can Identify my name with the development of the great interests of Indiana, and in the future your children and children's children, when in reading the history of Indiana shall find associated with

her

prosperity, the

development and

name

of Thomas A. Hen

dricks, surely, that is reward enough. [Euthusiastic plaudits.] But I cannot make this fight alone. Mr. Voorhees, with all his eloqueuce and popularity, cannot make it alone. We have to contend, this year, against the use of money in larger sums than ever before-in the history of the country, has been used in an election. We have not got it, and, if we had, would not use it improperly. [Applause.] We cannot fight tnis great battle alone, and shall lean upon your shoulders, and ask you to hold us up in this contest. We ask you, from this time on, until the sun shall go down on election day, to do your part. Meet with and see that the young voters understand these great questions properly, and our banner will float in triumph over a great victory in October. [Applause.]

I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the kind attention with which you have honored me to-night. [Cheers, loud and long continued.]

When Mr. Bfendricks had taken his seat, loud calls were made for ^JCR. VOORHEES who, after some hesitancy, came forward and said he did not propose to make a speech for the verycomplfmentary call with which the vast audience honored him. Some had said the Democracy in the outside townships are dead but he had addressed about a thousand of them at Kevins,that afternoon,and found them pretty much alive. ['Applauded.] He alluded in fitting language to the beautiful Temple just dedicated, and spoke in glowing terms of the revolution through which the politicEf of the country is passing. In speaking of his Congressional race, he said:

I understand my competitor, General Hunter, made some stale, worn out charges against me. I did not want this race for Congress but I am now into it and I expect to take care of it, [applause] and no man need expect to go to. Con-" gress from this District against me. [Great applause.] I did not mean to stop the sentence there it would have been a little too vain anu fftRStful, and I am not in that spirit at all. [Laughter.] No man need expect to go to Congress from this district against me—by reviewing old stale worn out falsehoods. He said since the year 1861 I never voted supplies for the troops in the field during the -war. That is simply not true. God knows it is not true, and I know it is not true. I voted for every dollar of supplies the soldiers ever got while in the field whatever my views of the course of the Administration of Abraham Lincoln, I sustained the troops while they were in the field, far I never beli.eved in starving an army in front of another army. Since the war closed, I fought Mayor Carter on that very issue and defeated him, [applause] and I beat my little brother Dunn [laughter] so bad on the same issue, that the last I heard of him be was in Africa! [Loud laughter and applause.] Or rather that was one of the issues.

General Hunter says I introduced a bill in Congress to pay the soldier $25 per month, and that I knew the money was not in the Treasury to pay out, or I would not have done it. [Laughter.] Did you ever hear such talk? Why, they were grinding out greenbacks just as you have seen stra'w coming out at the hind end of one of these threshing machines [Laughter,] just grinding them out by the wholesale, and they could have paid the soldier $25 just as well as not. They ought to have increased the pay of the soldier to $25 per month, so that, under the depreciated state of the currency at that time, they would have been getting full salaries. [Applause.]

Mr. Voorhees then took up the cudgel in his own defence and made vigorous strokes right and left, against those who have assaulted him for his course in Congress. He showed himself in a most favorable light on the bounty question clearly demonstrating that he had been a better friend of the soldier than the "great war Governor" and others, who claim to love them so dearly,but give the fat offices within their gift to home guard heroes and brothers-in-law. He cited with great effect the case of Col. Alexander of this city, whom he had appointed, under A. Johnson, and who was displaced by the present Administration.

He then made a strong appeal to the voters of the district to support the great Reform movement, which he predicted will sweep the country victoriously in October. [Applauded.] And after assuring his hearers that he would tell them all about his conversion from antiGreeleyism some time soon, he sat down amidst the wildest enthusiasm, tn

MR. HANNA

was then loudly called for, and came forward finally, but declined to make any extended remarks on account of the lateness of the hour, and in conclusion said:

This is a mighty revolution of the people, and is sweeping over the country with such terrifflc force as to overwhelm all opposition in the Democratic ranks like a mighty avalanche sweeping down from the mountains over little nills of sand. [Applause.] This revolution commenced in the hearts of the people, is conducted by the people, arid will result in November next in the election of Horace Greeley and Thomas A. Hendricks. [Cheers.]^

August 9.—A meeting of

Geerman lager beer retailers numbering about two hundred was held here yesterday afternoon for the purpose of taking action to insure protection against enforcement of the Sunday clause of the excise law. A committee was appointed to wait on the Excise Commissioner in reference to the Sunday question. The movement against enforcement of the Sunday clause appears to be becoming general among liquor dealers in this city.

A magnificent auroral display took place last night, lasting several hours. The whole northern 3ky was brilliantly illuminated, the spectacle assuming the form of an immense arch. The display ceased about midnight.

The Tribune's Washington special says that a letter from Bowling Green, Kentucky, says that careful estimates place the probable .majority of Kentucky for Greeley and Brown at between sixtyeight and seventy thousand.

A special from Raleigh, North Caro lina, to the Times, says that a monster Republican mass meeting and procession teok place last night, in that city. Two thousand Republicans, with torches, banners, mottoes, etc., marched through the streets. Ex-Governor Holden, Marshal Carrow, Gov. Caldwell, Judge Settle, and a number of others delivered addresses. Everything was orderly.

NEW YORK,

August

9.—Two

new

plans are under consideration whereby the northern and western portions of the island will be brought into close communication with Westchester county. They are to tunnel under the Harlem river at the end of Seventh avenue, and a suspension bridge, across the Harlem river, from Washington heights to the heights on the Westchester side of the river. Immediate steps will be taken to secure their erection. The expense of the tunnel is estimated at a million and a half.

The Tribune editorially expresses the belief that the frauds which it alleges have been perpetrated, and can be proved, are sufficient to reverse the result of the election in North Carolina, and again repeats its conviction that Merriman has been honestly elected.

The. Tribune's Raleigh special, says that the best informed Democrats believe frauds to the extent of several thousand. It can be proven that Caldwell's majority on count will be about 1,000, and the cumber of votes nearly 10,000, more than ever before cast. It is believed Merriman has a majority from 2,000 to 5,000 honest votes. The Democratic press strongly recommend the matter to be tested before the next Legislature, and no doubt entertained it will be done.
