'X y ‘V? NO. 40, EX-GOV. HENDRICKS. Doing Yeoman Service In Behalf of Democracy. The Next Vlee-Preeldent Makes a Notable Speech a* Manele—A Terriße Ar aalgament of Bepebllean Poll- •ios aad Methods. At Muncie, Ind., on September 6, Ex- Governor Hendricks delivered an inter esting address to an immense audience. In the course of his speech he said: It is now twenty-flve years that the Repub lican party has controlled the administrative and executive affairs of this country, and it is of the first importance that you and I should consider the question whether that Is as long as one set of men ought to continue in abso lute control. In other words, the question Is before us: Ought not there to be a change? That is the first question that strikes your at tention and mine. How much has transpired since the Republican party came into power— and I no not choose to include in that period the period of the war? I ask your attention only for the last nineteen years during which that party has controlled the administrative and executive affairs of the country. I could not find figures or words to express to you the enormous sums ot money that have been collected and the enormous sums ot money that have been paid out, I will refer byway of Illustration only to one year, the last year as reported by the Secretary ot the Treasury. The collections and expenditures amounted to *W3,< w. The history of those transac tions is found in many thousand volumes and they were recorded by many thousand mtn men belonging to one party only. No Demo crats have been allowed to participate in any ot the affairs of the country. I speak in sub stance. An occasional Democrat may bare been allowed an office, but for the great purposes ot administering the affairs of the Government the Democrats have been exo uded. and to you mon the question is presented now. Ought there not to be a change? Who knows what ia wrong In the books? Shall they be opened? Shan there be an opportunity forus mon to know What has been wrong la the rec ords of the country, so that we may know whetner it is well or ill wltfkthe country? May 4 ask your attention to another illustration on this subject? 1 do not claim that one po litical party, In the first place, in its organisa tion Is probably any more nonest than the other. If we bad no political parties la the country, and were going to establish two po litical pertie*, and were to run a Une through this crowd, and the men on that side were to be of one petty and the men on thia side of the other party, the chances are there would be just a* many honest men on one side as on the other, and as many rogues on one side, perhaps, as on the other. But take another step in this thought. Suppose this party comes into power and it becomes established that it is going to return to power for twenty years, have the control of the offices, the con trol of the money, and or the country. Don’t you seo that all the rogues on thia side would gradually come over and join the strong tide? Isn’t that human nature? And more than that—don’t you know as they come over they would gradually push honest men on this side back and hack until they would take control ot the dominant party them elves? To a very large extent that would prove to be the hu man nature of tbe case. Without discussing the question whether tbe Republican party has been guilty of a great fraud, for I leave that to your own reflections, 1 assume tbe ground that when a party has been tn pewer exclusively, not allowing the other party to participate In the affairs of the Government for a long period of time, there ought to be a change that tbe people may come to know with some degree of certainty how it is with their affairs (cries of “We will have it this falL") Ye*, sir, you are going to bare- it this fall.” I don’t expect, gentlemen, that all tbe men In office will be turned out. Ido not de sire that where a Republican, governed by bls conscientious convictions, has been in office and has proven himself to be atrue end honest man In the administration ot that office. I do not ask that be shall be turned out. But I ask that honest men shall be plaeed in office sufficiently numerous to give the people of this country information In regard to their affairs. 1 have one stop further to go in this argu ment. lam trying to establish tbe proposi tion that there ought now to be a change. I do not know why the Republicans for the last ■ nineteen years have said to every Democrat, you shall have no position in the control of the affairs of tbe Government. They bare seen lit to occupy that position, a cruel, pro acrlptlve policy, excluding every man that did not agree with them, and what do you think ot K. my countrymen? Shall It be con tinued any longer? (Criesof “No 1") Towhat condition have we come?” I refer now to the statemeat made by Mr. Calkins, Republican candidate tor Governor, In a speech at Rich mond a few weeks ago. He said we now have 8401.000,000 in the Treasury. Do you know how he came to say that? Ho said that by way bf braggadocio—by way of a taunt to the Democrats. He said tbe jtepublMMi party when it came into power found n empty Treasury, and now it baa 8400,000.000 ,in tbe Treasury. Do you want to hear me express my opinion of what is a fortu nate condition of tbe country. Well, it ia not m having a Treasury overflowing. It la not in tbe collection from tho people of un told millions of money that it may be hid away In the vaults of the Treasury. At Wash ington today they are digging new vaults, adding to the old i aults so as to And room tor putting away tho people’s currency. It i* a matter of joy, is It. that the Republicans have now In the Treasury WOMO.mt And that, gentlemen, la half of the paper currently of the country, and more. The paper cu Tency ot tbe country 1* about 8700,000.000, and of the currency of the country there is looked up In Treasury 8400,00 >,OOO. Do you desire th*t? If so, vote ter Mr. Calkins, vote for tbe Repub lican candidate for President, tor they boast to you that they have locked up 8400,000.000 ot your money. What right has tbe Government to 3400.C0J.00i) ot the people's money that It has no occasion to use in the administration ot it* affair*? What would be the effect it the taxes were reduced so that the money would come back into your pockets and Into the channels of trade? Don’t you know that It would stimulate enter prize? Don't you know that it would give employment to laborers? Shall I stop now and speak ot the present condition ot cur country? Four years ago, when, you know, it was flusher times, and everything waa welt with the people, wheat was worth 81 JO, ana labor was well paid, and a Republican orator came to you and said: ‘My countrymen, won’t you let well enough alone? Are you willing to turn a party out that ba* brought you such prosperity and put a party in that you do not know what Will be tbe conse quence?’ And to that appeal the’people lis tened. How I* It now? Are men employed? Are furnaces throwing out Are and smoke that Indicate successful enterprise and indue try? I have here from an Indianapolis paper of yesterday evening, perhaps the best edited paper of tbe Republican party in that etty, the A’eua^a statement of tbe amount of fail ures that have recently taken place in the country. It la a dispatch from New York, that the business failures throughout the country the last seven days, a* reported to H. G. Dun * Co.—and they are great authorities on that subject—number.fortheiUnltod States IN, for Canada 14, total 218. as against IM last week, showing an Increase of seventeen fail ures tats week over last week. In other word*, It is H per cent, more for the week that ended yesterday than for the week before that, an increase in failures of 8 percent., and how can it be otherwise when there is this enormous portion of- the people’s currency locked up In the vault* of the Treasury? Send that money Into the channel* of trade and wheat wouA sell at a begging market for 02 cents, 12 oedß and 78 cents * bushel. It la 80 eenta a bushel leas to-day than when you elected a BepubUean coadMat* four years ago who made Junes G. Blaine Secretary of State, aad if you have your mortgage to pay or interest upon It, counting a bushel »r 81. It takes a good many more buahel* now to pay the interest on your mortgage debt then it did four years ago, and when you come to peg not well snofaa, ft is tad enough. When you seessenoutof employment you may now there Is trouble somewhere.

There are a tew other matters about whMb, probably. LOoght to apeak to you this after noon. The Republican* have pretty muehi given youand me up.-s# ordfaary follow citisen*. They do not ex pact any more to get tbe vote* of the nntives'of Uilgoountry. tbaaa that were born hero. They hAv-fc pretty much given up the Swede* and Danes, and 1 believe they have come down hard and heßvyupon our Irish ffellow-citizens. When they come to the oonctaston that they can get Irish voters they are pretty much gone up tbemeelvee. It will be pretty much a disappointment when November cornea around. That *• my pre diction. I think, I know it is ao in the neigh- . horhood where l live. Why. I said the other, day at Connersville that an Iriahman waa a natural Democrat. That ia pretty much the, truth. For one hundred year* fie ba* been with tbe Democrats. He remembers the day when Know-Notbingism was rampant in the country, and that the Democratic party was the champion of a free Nation and the foreigner's right to occupy our country along with the rest of os. I think it I* a bad day when tbe Republieacs have to nay on the Irish vote. The Irish know where their friends have been In the peat. Now, my fellow citizens. 1 think I can say to you thu afternoon that our cause will be successful this year. We have a candidate for President that has borne himself with distinguisbadi - credit and honor in the high offices which he has heretofore Ailed. Ho has borne himself with credit in tbe city which promoted him to be the Chief Magistrate of that city. He has borne himself with great credit aa Chief Mag istrate of the greatest of the States of the Union. Substantial objection baa not been -made to his Administration He I* to-day supported by the ablestmen of the Republi can party. The Independent* of New York, ot Connecticut, Massachusetts and ot Indiana say he is worthy of their support. They have many reasons for that support. There are better assurances of good governmeot, ot American protection everywhere and under all clrcumstanoea IF Governor Cleveland be made President instead of. James G. Blaine, and With such supporvin addition to tbeearn est zeal of the Demqaraey 4n favor of bia eteCtlbn, I can entertain Ho doubt of the re sult.

This party, when it was In power before, waa e-onomlcal in its administration. It cost only a few thiuions in the administra tion of Polk, ot Pierce; and we have come to a period where YounKjnan xaitiiat add ft up. Blaine as a Dodger. One of the manifeafatlana of the .fm- ’ moral character tit otaf toublic men ia “dodging.” 18 ia Witßeaaed almoat daily in both chambers of Congreas. Hardly a division is talon on a public question or nieaisnYe ‘that is not pre ceded by the rapid dtkappesrance of some great statesman in a elosk-room, or his sudden recollection that he has an important appointment exactly at that moment in some other part or the capital. The real motive of his action is that of a political coward, or a truck ling politicMtro, who -wishes to avoid any record of an opinion on the ques tion lest it should be used to hi* disad vantage in some future election. It is the trick of a political knave, notithe set of an honorable statesman, who never is afraid to hold and to declare his opinion* on public question* At the recent etectiun iirMaine a pro posed “prohibition" -clause was sub mitted for incorporation in the proving elal obarter. Mr- Blaine, who appears to have taken greghv.pahM to exhibit himself at the voting booth in his pre cinct, did not vote on that proposition. That ia to Bgy, iM ’»dßdged. ,f After ward, in a stump speech to a crowd of his admirers, he took pains to state what he said vras his rtaeon for dodg ing. , He ^odgpd, tfei, prohibition ques tion, he said, because that is a provin cial question,'ah'dnbt a National ques tion. . . <-:.:•( ' -I (dill If this statemyd of Mr. Blaine's was not a mere quibble, not less unworthy* in the practice of a. statesman than dodging, then-the-local election in Maine must save been, a Rational elec tion to take the popular decision on some National question.
