Governor Hendricks.

Evansville, Ind., Oct. 25.—The Democrats all along the Wabash valley from Sullivan to this city were addressed by Governor Hendricks, who filled four appointments, at Sullivan, Vincennes, Princeton and this city. The three first named were day meetings, and were very large and enthusiastic. The governor reached this city this afternoon at 4:40 and was met at the station by three of the Democratic clubs of this city and several thousand citizens. To-night the largest torchlight procession ever witnessed in this city paraded the streets. The governor reviewed it from the residence of R. K. Dunkerson. At nine o'clock Governor Hendricks was driven to Willard Library Park, and made a fifteen minutes' speech to an audience of about five thousand people. He was received with immense enthusiasm. Monday, he goes to New Albany, making short stops at Booneville, Gentryville, Huntingburg and Ingleton.
