Early in the evening the varions escort companies, with eltizens, numbering 1,100, accompanied. the spcaker from the ‘Terre Haute House to tho Wigwam. With Gen, Harrison were tho Hon, I. W, Thompson and the Hon, T. M. Nichols, of Wisconsin. Main street, from Seeond to Ninth, was one blaze of Hight. N. M, Diail, the President.of the Young Men’s Republican Club, called the meeting to order and announced the following organization: President, A.B, Felsenthal: Vice-Presi- dents, Charles Ilunter, It, M. Jays, W. N. Fisk, J. Bishop Moench. and David Phillips; Seeretary, W. N. Danean. Five thousand persons were present. GEN. HARRISON'S SPEECH, Gen, Ben Harrison, on being introduced, was enthusiastically received, and spoke as follows: Fei.ow-Crrizenss Onco more the Republican and Democrutic parties are befure the peoplo to be judged, The debate his begun; but we are not ies 1 hope, go much in“ tho rust‘and rour.” of the cumpuiyn that a speaker may not expect to find access 10 tho minds and conselences of the more modcrate men of tha opposlt party, Lf any stich have honored mo with tholr pres» ence to-night, fot ne assuro thom at the begin- uing that i sbatl not abuso tho reapoct they |uavo shown ine by coming. HONEST ELECTIONS, To my opinion the underlying and overlying question of the haur—the ove that most nearly ulfects the pence, growth, and happiness of our pegnles na woll.us tha continuance of our free nstitutions—js the Issue of free elections and an honest count, THE PROBLEM IN INDIANA, Can wo bo reasonably certutn that tho result of the eatin In Indiana will bo deterinined by ber. | - own legal etors? The Democratic nowspapers are ulroudy charging that the Republican mane Ager are preparing to import votes fram other Suites, while we believe that those very charges: arvacover for contemplated Democratic cite- tion frauds, In the inidst of those churges and counter chirges, how iy tho honest citizen to know which purty Is really in favor of honest vicotioue? ‘There is, I think, yn casy and infalli- 0 tes ‘Tho party that 1s. in favor of closing tho door through which theso ftewxal votes find entrance, backs Its professious with convinglig proof ot its honesty, while tho purty that set tho dour open and keeps Heopen arives ag convinvitys proot thut itdrives cattio thit tt Lot us see if wo gan find out which party this is, It will not be denied ‘that the present Constl- tution of Indiaua bas the stamp of the Domo erutic party upon it. ‘Tho section which detines (if itis nota misnomer to cull it a defnition) the qualification of an olector was fruincd une der Demoerntte auspices. It may be that the framers of it did not contemplite tho gross abuses which have grown up; that thoy did not antlelpate that. the Supreme Court would #0 atick in tho bark in tho construction of ita tan- uate. But cortatn it is that this section of our Giistiiution, as constricd by a Democratic Bus premo Court, has stood ever since an open door totraud. In bis messuge to the Logisluturo, in Hee Go ". Thomas A. Hendricks said of our elece jon laws: * Tug laws reguinting our elections require your special attention, -Thoy du uot restrain tho corrupt, nor protect the votes of the people.” ‘Tes result of thiy loose election system bas boon that charges of fraud hayo been constantly mado by each purty against the othor, and the resultof our clections have been chatten, bie bodies of our Intelligent peuple, ‘This con dition of things hus not been perpetrated with the consent of the Hopublican party, Efforts were thrat mude by legislauon to bring about the needed reform, and when those failed the re- cent effort to remaye from the Constitution the obstruction to this reform was undertaken and supported by -the Kepublicun party. Thos efforts bave not bad the support of the Demo- cratie purty, aga brief roforance to tho history of the question will show, - KEVORTS AT ELSCTION-REFORM, In 1807. dir, Thoupson, u Republican Senator from Marion County, troduced into the Lazise lature an net providing for the rogistrution of voters, ‘Mho act provided for tho reprogentition of both political parties upon the Bourd of fi trauiou, and required the Board jn vach votlng precinct to pakke an aipalierionl lst of tha Watnes of ull persons baying otherwise tho quill- Heatiogs of vbters who bad resited In the voting prociuée for twonty days previous to tho elev: fon. ‘Thea registry lists were open to the Ine apection of everybody, and ane copy was re- quiréd to bo posted in ‘a publio pica, in the young precinct, Provision was also nade for urging those Ilela of the wamcs OF Bny not ene itled Lo vote, and furudding thorete the names of sny who were entitle ‘This law passed both Houses of tho Legistature by. tho, following aggregate yote: Ayes, Republloaud 87, Democrats nays, Hopublicans 13, Domo- crate &. In the House db Dumucraté voted agulnet the law, uod notune in its favor.” This juwhad but a brie€ Ute. At tho Muy term of the Supremo Court, 187). In the case of Quinn ys. thy Stato, Judge Downey, speaking for a Bench composed wholly of Democrats, decldod that the Juw was uncunstituiionat ao fur ag it uttompted to prederibe aterm of residence In w vrecinot 44 a quullticavion tor voting. Tho do- elsion went upon the ground i peo, 3 to voto, oe Art, 2 of Cry person, nunttnentioss, to precinct whero he resided on the day of} alection: and that mule attempt by hiw to: any fixed torm of residenco'In n precinct, hows over short, was unconstitutional, At te noxt mecting of the Logislature after this decision, tho Hon. Conrad Baker, thon Governor of In alana, and x Republican, aditressed the Legian ture as follows: “ Gnder tho Constitntion as it now Is, 118 Imposalble to have an election law that will be efficient in praventing fraudulent young. As long ns the Consthtution neither prescribes nor allows tho Legislature to pre- seribo seme term of previous residence in the county, township, or precinct as a prercquisit to the exercise of' the right of suffrage, all ef forts to prevent tho importation uf fraudulent. voters must be nuxatory. The Constitution it- self ought to prescribe some terin of realdenco inthe proper locality as acondition precedent tothe rightto vote.” In bis mosauge nddrosse] to the regulae ses- sion following tho spectalscsston whichjaad been thus addressed by . Baker, Gov. Hendricks, who bad then recently been inaugurate! Goy- eee of the State, referrod to the samosubject, and said: 2 “ You will find that an amondmont to tho sec- ond article of the Constitution has been found nevesanry to enable tho Legistature to preserilio such period of residence.” At this regular res- sion, which oponed in January, 1873, an amend- ment to tho Constitution was proposed requir ing. as aqualification for tho exerciso of the clvctive franchise, that the. peraon should have resided in the State twelve months, and in tho county three months, iinmediately preceding an elcetion. The resolution embodying this amend- ment was supported by overy iepublican Senw- tor except one, and by overy Republican mem- ber of the House of Hepresentatives. Ia the Senate, cizht Democrats supported It and cight yoted againat It, In the House, twenty-four Democrats supported the resolution and eight opposed it. ‘The Joint resolution proposing this aunendiment eae aguin before the Legislature fn 1875, On the lith of January Mr. Woodey, a Ropubllean, brought the matter before.the House, Upon motion of Mr. MacMichnel,a Detn- ocrat, the consideration of the proposed amund- tient was indefinitly postponed by the follow- Ing vote: Yeus—ltepublicuns, 1; Democrata, 49; Nugs—Republicans, 54: Democrats, %. By this decisive vote—only'3 Democrats out: of 54 sup- porting the amentinent—this attempt to secure a modification of our Constitution lo the inter- est of honest vlections failed, in bls‘message th the Logislature . that year, Hendricks ayain called their attenuon. to this subject, using the words which [I have already quoted. As to the mcuns of accomptish- ing theee purpascs, he suggested * n reasonable period of residence in an ¢lecdon precinct as a qualification to vote, so that,” to use his words, “ pereous may not pretend to a ressence not reul in fraud of the luw." At this scasion of the Logislature the amendment No. J, recently Saton upon by tho people, was passed. It was lows: elections, ‘uot otherwise 8: Sec. 2, all provided for by this Constitution, evers mute eltizen of the United States of the a: } and upwards, who shall bave resided fn tho Btu during six mouths, and fn tho township six! days, and in the ward or precinet. thirty days hhomediutely preceding euch eloction, and overy mule of foreign birth of tho age of St Sera und upward, who shall bave re- sided in the Wuited States ono year, and shall have reskied in this State during tho six months, and In tho township sixty days, and in tho ward or precinet thirty days iinmediately precedt ng such election, and shall baye declared i# intention to hecome a citizen of the United States conformubly to tho laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitied to vote in the townenlp or’ precinct where be tony reside, ff. ho shall bavo been duly registered according to luw.' ‘fhe vote was_os follows: Ayes—Ropublicans, ‘30; Democrats, 30, Nues—Republicans, 0; Demo- ernts, ‘This amendment came before the Legislature attho session of $374 to bo acted upon again. Jt wus paseed, and tho partics divided upon it us follows: aAvyes—Repuplicane, 73; Democrats, 24. Noes— Republicans, 0; Democrats, 45, ae Irwilt-be noticed that at tho beginning tho Demoerate did run well, but fn this instance, as. well asin the former effurt to amend the Coo- siltution, their zeal dazged in the second Logis- future called to pass upon the amendinent, aad turned into open upposition when it camo before the people for ratification. _ _BEMOCKATIC NESISTANCE. ‘Tho anendment was now reudy for subtoission to tho people. Before the popular voto on the atnondments caino on it became appirent that se ras be opposed at.tho. pulls by uthisens of State, and by the rent ra aielty: of tho fnfuen-, tial men of their party. Here was the onporto- nity, tollsomcly sought, that bad como at last for the people of this Ktate to rid thomsécives of the scandals whicb hud attached to thelr slec- tion methods, aud to retstablish public conti- dence in the ballot-box. Now the sincerity of men’s professions was to be tested, and what was the result?

But notwithstanding the opposition of these leading men of tho party,2 large body of intelligent Democrats supported tho amendment, aud tt was adopted, as I bold, by a wiasority of 17,106 yates, Lhe vote returned to the office of the Sceretary of State, upon tho amendimne.ts, was ns follows: et Por, Apatnat.

Hendricks. That amendment: was voted upon. ft recetyed less than a ma- dority of al! the cloctors of tho Stale, if we aro. to Judge of the number of such electors by the vote atthe preceding Btate lection. Tho voto on the amendment was taken fn Februnry, 1873, And if we take .the vote either in October or November, 1873 as indicating tho number of the qualified electors of the Stato, tho Wabash Canal amendment did not receive tho vote of more than one-half of the cleotors. And set Mr. Hendricks, having first approved the law by which tho test—a test we atill insist ipon—was.n majority of those voting, followed this election upon the amendment by ‘his proclamation, datet Dlarch 4, 1873, in which ho says: “The Governor and Secretary of Stato have this day examined the certificates of sald clorks,as required by law, ond find that it appeara a majority of tho votes cust at said olection wero in favor of sald Freres atacadment, therefore 1, ‘Thomas A. ieudricks, Governor of the State of Indiana, do. hereby declare and proctaim that sald proposed amendment has been duly ratilled by the pen- plo. and that the same is a part of the Conatitu- ion of the State of Indiana, tobe known and designated as Sec. 7 of Art. 10," AMENDMENTS CANNOT DE RESUDMITTED. , The Supremo Court and Mr. Hendricks have both attempted to soothe the disappointmont at tho people by suggesting that we may do this work over amin. Judge Biddle suggests that the amendments might ho resubmitted under a Taw to bo cnucted by the next Legisiature. 1 do not think so, Tho amendments have heen once submitted to tho people, and have been yoted upon, It they hi thoy have been rejected: and tf thoy have been. rejected the movement must he started de nove, and the proposed amondinonta pass through two successive Legisintures befnra thoy can bo brought to tho voto of the people. ‘ DEMOCRATIC REJOICING. Tho judgment, of tho Court In uverturning tho amcudments (for they must all go togathor) was recalved with wreat satisfaction by the Demo- eratla managors, The baste with which the re- sult was communicated by telegraph from Dom- ocrat ta Democrat is convincing proof that they were not ill pleascd that an clection system which did not “restrain tho corrupt nor protect tho vores of the people" was to ho Indefinitly Perpetunted in Indiana, There aro somo othor circumstances attend- ing the case in the Supremo Court which must not be omitted. Tho oral argument of the caso lasted threodays, and was closed on Thuraday morning at If o'clock. Printed and written bricfs, agureguting nhout seventy-five pages. were filed In tho case. Very many decisions of otbor courts had been elted and ditcusscd, The casa was, I believe, the most important civil casa over passed upon by our Supremes Court. Att p.m. of Thursday the Court had not yet Rone Inte consultation upon the cuse, but were about to do so. On the soralng of the noxt day the optufon of the mafority of the Court, caver- ny forty-tive poyes of fegul cap, was fited inthe Clerk's office. Judges Niblack and Scott, who dleseutod, were not such ready writera as Judge Biddio, and ft was three wocks before they were ablo to prepare: aud tile their dissenting opinions. When tho opinion of tha majority, overturning tho amendments, was Uled, the National cratty Convention was ussambling in Cincinnati. ‘Tho halls of the hoteis in that city weru already crowded with dolexates, and tho clalms of dis tungulsbed Democrats for the Presidential nom- {nation were being discussed, Tho docleion of the Supreme Court, making Indiana an October Btate, was immediately selzed upon by tho poli- ticlans and loudly urged ag a reason why a dis- tingulehed Indiana Demoerat should bo nomi- nated for President. Every friend of a puro Judiciary must deeply regret that the delivers: of this opinion, so disappointing to every frient of nuntelpal and: election reforni, should huge heen uttended with any circumstances (bat could excite distrust. 2 REPUBLICAN ECPPONT OF THE AMENDMENTS~ “Tho constitutional amendmonts bad, ou tho other huud, the unanimous support. of the lip- publicas party.
