A Jollification Meeting That Asionished the Radicals and Made filad the Kearts of the People.

The Democrats held a jollification meeting at Indianapolis Saturday night. A stand was erected on the corner of Washington and Illinois streets and an immense throng filled the large open space ther.e is at that point where these streets intersect. We quote from the Indianapolis Sentinel: "After the applause which greeted the appearance of the speakers had subsided Col. Shaw stepped forward and said:

MY FELLOW CITIZENS—In the ful nehs of time the Democracy have achieved one of the grandest victories ever witnessed in the state of Indiana, and we are congregated here to-night to celebrate that victory. I take pleasure in introducing to you as the first speaker, one ot In diana's brightest sono, the Hon. D. W. Voorhees.

As the tall form of Indiana's redoubt able senator came to the front the ciowd burst into cheers, which were repeated again and again. Following is

VOORHEES' SPEECH. I& -:J

My fellow citizens—The time for argument and discussion in this canvass has closed. We have met here for the pur pose not merely of idle personal or partisan triumph. We meet here to rejoice over the triumph of sound principles The Democratic platform has been the guide in the contest that has just closed.

In February last the Democratic party of the state met in this capital and announced the principles on which it asked the confidence and support of the people. On that platform I have made the canvass, so far as I ail concerned, from the lakes on the north to the Ohio river on the south, from the Illinois line on the west to the Ohio line on the east. I have appealed to the people of Indiana whether the Democratic party was right in its announcement of princi pies for their benefit, and a response has come of the greatest possible magnitude and importance. The judgment of the convention has been vindicated in a popular majority of magnificent proportions. This is the first and important result at tained by the victory which we celebrate here to-night. That victory, however, accomplishes one other great and glorious result. It places the state of Indiana in the foremost ranks of Democratic states in this Union, and insures for her in the councils of the Democratic party a potent and commanding voice in the future. [Cheers.] In this contest, my friends, which has closed so glorious v, an appeal has been made not merely to party. I speak for myself, and 1 think I speak for the distinguished gentlemen who have likewise taken part in this contest, when I say that our appeal has been to the people, to the laboring, producing, active business classes if the state for their support, without respect to party names or to party ties, and here to-night,.in this hour cf congratulation, I want to tender my acknowledgements to the men of opposing organizations for their liberal support of our principles. [Cheerr.] I desire to tender my acknowledgements to those of the Republican party who Lave»broken their party lines for the public good, and have supported the doctrines of the Democratic party. I desire to tender my acknowledgements to men of the National party for their liberality and kindness in the content that has just gone by I have conducted this canvass in the' spirit of appeal, in the spirit of argument, in the spirit of reason, and it is a pleasure to me to feel to-night that not one word of denunciation has fallen from lips. The abuse that has been showered upon me has not provoked an angry retort, that I can now recall, and I am glad of it, for in closing the contest of thp last three month* 1 desire to do so with no bitter memories toward those who have opposed me. We have .fought as enemies, and now that the flag of victory is on our side we can afford to conduct ourselves in a magnanimous spirit toward the enwiy ove« which we were yictori ous. Secondly, I am not here to rejoice in an arrogant opirir, I am not here to triumph, as it were, over a fallen foe on the coptrarv, my Republican friends, 1 say to you*that I rtjoice, because this victory "will result in your good and your benefit as well as the good ofyrour Democratic neighbors. I rejoice for the people one and all—of all organizations and of all party names. But, ah! my Democratic friends, how can I speak to you and of you in this hour. How can I ever ex press the gratitude that burns in my heart for the fidelity with which you have clung to the cause in this great and glorious content. If this canvass has had a personal bearing in relation to myself, all I can say, my friends is that if among its fruits should* be my retention in public life, I will express my gratitude, which I can not do in words, in increased zeal, fidelity, vigilance and industry in the discharge of my duties in voar behalf hereafter. [Cheers.] The best expression of gratitude oia public man to his constituents is an increased devotion to his duty an it creased tidelity to popular intere'ets increased prudence, care and industry in his public life and taese I promise you as long as I retain the representative character with which you have clothed me. My friends, this vast audience is to be addressed by many persons to-riight. My enly purpose on this occasion wad to mingle my congratulation and my rejoicings with yours that car labors have been crowned under the providence of God with the great and glorious success that lias come, and to give you renewed assurance that my heart beats in unison

with yours for the good of our country, the welfare of the people, and the glory and honor of our beloved state of Indiana. [Cheers.] Others will follow me, more able, more distinguished, more your favorites than I. [C eers.]

Governor Hendricks was next introduced by Colonel Shaw, and was received with even more enthusiasm than that which greeted the distinguished senator from the valley of the Wabash '•There is the next president of the United States," remarked a man in the crowd excitedly and enthusiastically, "and that's so," "you can can just bet your money on that," were the responses "which the remarks elicited. Following is

GOVERNOR HEXDRICK'IT SPEECH. MY FELLOW CITIZENS—I mingle with you to-night with some conflicting emotions. I rejoice with you over the great victory wnich his been achieved by virtue of the principles of the Democratic party but, on the other hand, I do not rejoice" over the mortification of defeat on the part of our opponents [ap plause and laughter] and I was very much pleased with one ot Mr. Voorheej' sentiments, that they should take consolation in the fact that the establish ment of good government, as the retult of Democratic victory will inure as much to their benefit as to ours.

What occasion have we to rejoice tonight? Our victory in the state is complete. We have not lost a single name upon the state tiicket, and in that success we have the assurance of a continued clear and good judgment in the manage ment of our state affairs. We have carried the legislature, and in that a great deal is involved. First, it secures the' election of Mr. Voorhees, and I am very

glad to know that fact. I Cheers.] Indi-|ghowi

ana, represented as she will be, .11 ex-

press but one voice when the question

shall come up in the Senate between class legislation, which means blessing to all the people. Our majority in the legislature means more than this. It tneans that the state shall be apportioned according to the requirements of the constitution.

My fellow citizens, when the sun shall stand high in the mid- heaven, ?n the 4th day of March next, the Democratic party will step into control of the United States senate. We will have the house of representatives, and in two years more a man will be elected president who knows that there is a common people and a common country. [Cheers, and voices: "Thomas A. Hendricks"] And then, after ten years more shall roll around, if any Republican should ask you or me, after our party had been responsible for ten years, what it has done that has brought blessing to the people, if I 'nave to stand dumb and can not answer the question, then I shall pray God that my party shall be turned out. [Cheers.] But I am not afraid of it. I know that the Democratic party sympathizes with the common interests of the country. I know that they desire that property shall be secure, and that labor Aia'.l have remunerative em plovmcnt, and the party that is animated by that sentiment can not fail to serve the country well.

My fellow citizens, I am glad to meet you to-night. I am glad .to take you by the hand and feel that between us there is a common sentimenti«i 'favor of such legislation and policy of government as shall bring blessings to us all—not to the few, but to the whole country. Did you know that already the Democratic party in Congress has caused a reduction .of the public expenditures of

$30,000,000

has never stopped

for a moment. The people of the United States, by the largest vote that was ever given on earth, declared Mr. Tilden to be the president of the United states, [cheers], and by fraud, by corruption, bv perjury, another man, not elected was placed in the presidential chair. That great crime against free government must be rebuked so emphatically that no audacioub villainy shall ever dare to repeat it. So, my fellow citizen's, we have not stopped, and we arc not going to stop. We will stand in solid line until the great

victory

is achieved in

1880.

[Cheers.] The four millions of men who two years ago voted for Tilden and Hendricks stand in line to-day, and that great line of battle is never to be broken until the coristitution is restored, until the peoshall feel once more that the sympathies of the government are with them, and not with the few.

After Mr. Hendricks, speeches were made by Governor Williams, Judge Gooding, General Manson, Will E. English, joint representative from Marion and Shelby counties, atid by Messrs Landers, McCabe, Lee. Lamb, (Our John) Brown, Sherrod, Neff, Ryan and Matson. -oty

It was one of tha bigglst demons-ra-tions ever witnessed in Indiana.

The delegates to the conference from here speak in the highest terms of the generous hospitality dispensed to them by the good people of Westfield, and are enthusiastic in their praises of that thrifty and growing little city.

SOMETHING OF A MISTAKE^ A Cincinnati paper says "A pair of pants and coat were found on the bank of the canal, near Wade street, yesterday morning, and it was supposed that their owner had committed suicide. Later in the day they were claimed by Conrad wick, a tanner, who, upon going home the nieht previous, somewhat under the 'fiuence, imagined upon arriving at the bank of the canal that he had rcache 1 his room, and quietly undressed to go to bed. Stepping into the water, a chill ran over him that brought him partly to his sense?, and he went on home much less than half dressed, leaving the garments mentioned on the bank. That was all.

A DAY or two ago a man walked into Taylor's barber shop and i.oticing a vacant chair, and a man sitting near it with his coat and hat off, suppoe-ed-of course he was a barber, and commenced pulling off his own coa\ Seeing this the other man, who wa not a shaving artist, but who was wain *1? for his "next," .concluded that the nov corner was the barber who ran that chair.

He, therefore, promptly got into the seat, stretched himself out, closed hi? eves and awaited the application of lath er. The last man in, after hanging up his coat and hat, without noticing particularly, walked over to the chair where he expected to get in. Imagine his surprise at seeing it already occupied. He stood for a iriinute looking as awkward as a young calf and then-said "I'm no barber."

The outstretched man opened bis eyes quickly, grasped in the situation, and then took "a tumble to himself.""

Men not in the newspaper business cannot appreciate dr understand the trouble. ED. GAZETTE.)
