The Old Roman En Koute to Washington Greetings on the Way. Pittsbuko, Oct. 5. Judge Thurman and parly left Columbus quietly, and until Bellaire was reached, at 5 o'clock, there was no attempt at a demonstration, only a few people about the difterent depots being aware of the Judge'? arrival. Ho waver, at Bellaire a eouple of hundred enthusiastic Democrats, with a band to help give expression to their enthusiasm, had climbed the three flights of stairs to the platform t9 greet their chosen candidate. The special car stood too far away on the bridge for them to reach it, bat as the train pulled through they cheered heartily, while the Judge stood in the door and bowed bis acknowledgments of their greeting. As the train pulled along from Benwood, the people by the way cheered heartily, and when the Wheeling depot was reached a crowd of over a thousand, with fire-works, bandannas and strong lungs gave greeting to the Judge. They crowded np to the car, and at the appear-' ence of the Judge, they shonted their loudest They insisted on a speech, and the Judge spoke briefly, expressing his sincere thanks for the reception and his desire to make a speech, but time did not allow him to do so. At the conclusion of his remarks, the erowd eheered enthusiastically. A delegation or local Democrats waited on the Judge to get him to promise them a speech before the election, but he was unable it the time to $rive an answer. As the train palled cut the people wared handkerchiefs and cheered by the way, all being distinctly seen in the strong light of the fire-works. Luring the stop at Wheeling, little Starling Loving, the bright two-and-a-half year-old son of Allen W. Thorman, belned his illustrious grandfather out by shaking hands through an open window with all in reach, much to their satisfaction. Washington. Pa., turned out a cheering, enthusiastic crowd of over 2,000, whose torches and fire-works cast a bright light on the strong face cf the Judge as he appeared on the platform. He briefly returned thanks and expressed bis desire to speak, if time permitted. The crowd gave the Judge a parting cheer as the train left the city. Other towns along the way gave hearty greetings. At Wheeling, Judge Thurxnan had a short but enjoyable talk with Mr. Hobbs, the great glass manufacturer, and later, on the train, cordially reeeired Dr. Thomas J. Tomer, of the United States navy. When the train rolled into the PitUbnrg depot, at 10:15 r. il, an hour late, a small crowd was waiting to meet the distinguished Judge. lie at first refused to go out of the car, but after some persuasion stepped out ana after three eheers had been given for him, thanked the erowd for the reception. 31 r. Thurman then retired and a few minutes later the train started for Washington. GENERAL POLITICAL SEWS. STr. Blaine Cancels Two Appointments Ueranse of Cold and Hoarseness. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 5. In consequence of a slight cold and hoarseness, which developed since his speech in the open air yesterday, at Adrian, Mr. Blaine determined, this morning, to give ud his trip to East Saginaw and Ishpeminr.

He has declined a proposed reception tendered him by the Chicago Union League. He -will arrive in Chicaeo about the 17th or ISth of October. There is nothing at all serious in bis present indisposition, an his cancellation of the East Sazinaw and Isnpeming dates was caused simply by a desire to husband his voice. Mr. Blaine did not arise from his bed until late this afternoon, when he took dinner with Mrs. Alger and the fan: 'ly. This evening he received Mr. James F. Joy and & number of other callers.

EEPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASM I

A Drizzling Day's Rain Docs 2ot Dampen Its Ardor Throughout the State. Major Calkins, Gen. Hovey, Corporal Tanner, JSx-Governor Porter and Other Speakers Hare Large and Attentive Audiences. Calkins and Morton at Fort Wayne, special to tue Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, Oct 5. The largest political demonstration that has yet been witnessed in this city was seen this evening. Maj. W. H. Calkins and Oliver T. Morton arrived from Indianapolis at 3 o'clock and shook bands with most of the prominent Republicans during the afternoon at the Fort Wayne Hotel. In the evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, bands began gathering, and Republican clubs In uniform were seen in every street. At 7 o'clock the line of march was begun, and the procession was at least a mile in length. The Lincoln, Tippecanoe, Fifth Ward Harrison and Morton and New Haven clubs turned cut in force, making the finest parade that has been seen in this city for years. The streets were packed with interested spectators, and the general opinion was voiced by one individual who said: "I did not think: there were that many Republicans in Ft. Wayne." The meeting was held in the Princess Rink, the largest ball in the city. The auditorium, which seats 2,000 people, was packed, and though the evening was rainy and disagreeable, hundreds came who vere unable to tret admittance. Capt. J. B. White, Congressman from the Twelfth district, arose to introduce the first speaker and was received with tumultuous applause. He presented Mr. Oliver T. Morton, who mado a speech of half an hour's duration. In it he made a forcible arraignment of Democracy, and referred to the frauds of the Democrats in this State and elsewhere since the inauguration of a Democratic administration. Mr. Morton's speech was well received, and excited favorable comment. Major Calkins was then introduced, and his popularity with the Republicans here was demonstrated by a tremendous roond of applause. The Major made an eloquent speech, eulogizing the Republican party for the great good it bad done the country in the twenty years it was in - power. Besides freeing the slaves, giving the people the best currency on earth, making free homes possible for all, it had passed the eight-hour law and created a protective tariff for the benefit of the laboring man of the country. He also spoke of the Democracy as a party of abolitionists apologists for slavery a party built upon fraud, perjury, ballot-box stuffing and vetoes; a party that would sacrifice national honor for success at any time. The speaker rooted from Democratic platforms since 1843, to prove that it was for free trade, charged that the Democracy had accumulated the surplus by vetoing pension bills, harbor and river improvement bills, and refused to restore our navy for tho sole purpose of laying the ground-work for free trade. He declared there was no law authorizing the Secretary to deposit a cent of the surplus io national banks, save by act of Congre3s, and yet the administration has sixty millions of the people's money in its pet banks, being loaned out at good rates, and these pet banks would pay good campaign assessments for the favor. The speaker discussed the tariff, asserting that there was but 93 cents of tariff on an ordinary suit of clothes, the main cost of the clothes being the money actually paid for labor. Speaking about wool the speaker said there wers G5,0C0,000 sheep n this country, from which there was annually gathered 240,000.000 pounds of wool of the value of $80,000,000. He asked wnat would be the condition of the country if all these sheep were slaughtered. The 0,000,000 would go to Australia or South America, instead of into the pockets of our people. Our woolen-mills would close, and the workman would be idle, while a wool trust would advance the cost of woolen goods. As illustrating the fallacy of the Mills claim, that there was $7 profit per ton on pigiron to mill-owners, he quoted from the congressional investigation, showing that there were paid in labor bills $1(172 on every ton of pig-iron, while sales of that prodect brooeht but $17.50. If there was to be cheaper iron the cheapness must necessarily oome from tho wages of the workmen. Tbe Major gave many illustrations showing the beneficent warkiDg of protection for the mechanic, and declared he would rather see wares doubled than cut 5 per cent. His references to General Harrison and General Hovey were vociferously applauded, and his tribute to Gen. Harrison was one of the most eloquent ever heard hera He was listened to with the deepest attention and warmly applauded at all his climaxes. The Democrats, being afraid to give their henchmen a chance to hear tho truth about the great issues before the people, summoned David lurpie and held a meeting in the Academy of Music They had do street demonstration, only one club turning out to escort the speaker, and Senator Tnrpie's audience was lets than half the size of the Republican meeting. The Senator confined his remarks almost exclusively to the tariff, and was listened to with comparative interest and good order. The activity of the Republicans here was dampening, however, and is cerainly unprecedented. Hie Great Rally tn Parka County. Special to tli ladlanaDOiI Joarna.

He beseeched every workingman to consider well the effect of free trade before easting his ballot and not to cast it for tbe benefit of the English merchant and manufacturer, but for the protection of his own home and for his own interest.

The desperate Democracy in this city,'seeing that the drift of the laboringmen's support is towards Harrison, have started the foolish lie that Mr. T. F. Payne, a prominent furniture manufacturer here, recently said that in the event of Harrison's election he would be able to hire men at 25 cents per day. Mr. Payne vigorously denied the allegation and said that he recently told bis men that tbe year following the election ot Garfield was the most prosperous in bis business career, while the one following the election of Cleveland was tbe most disastrous, and that he believed, should Cleveland be re elected, tbst tbe business would depreciate to such an extent that it would be necessary to reduee expenses, either by lowering wages or diicbareing hands. Mr. Payne's em ployes are agreed that it is for their best inter ests to sapport Harrison and Morton. Porter and Harvey at Brazil. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Oct. 5.

It was Mr. Grifnths'3 first appearance before a Frankfort audience, and tbe expectations of our citizens as to bis oratorical abilities were core than real ized.

Mr. Eccles Robinson, master workman of the National Brass Fitters and Finishers' Industry, followed Mr. Griffiths. His address was upon the tariff from a wage-earner's stand-point, and was a masterly presentation of this most vital issue of the canvass. Porter Atlriressra tho Agriculturists.

A Slight Misunderstanding About Flags, Which, However, is Satisfactorily Adjusted. RicnMOXD, Va., Oct 5. The unveiling of the monument to-day to the memory of Gen. George E. Pickett, by the Pickett Division Association, took place with great pomp. Confederate camps were present from Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Petersburg, while the Philadelphia brigade of Union veterans was present as guests of the Ltee camp of Richmond. A slight misunderstanding occurred between the twd latter organizations prior to the march to Hollywood, where the monument is located, in regard to the flags to be carried in line. The Lee Camp heard, unofficially, that the Philadelphia brigade did not desire to parade with them if they carried tbe confederate colors. A committee of the Lee Camp, consisting of Maj. T. A. Brader and comrades J. Taylor Ellison, Mayor of Richmond, and Smith Redford were appointed to wait cu the brigade and learn the truth of the report. It was then ascertained that some of the brigade object, but by no means a majority. The reason given was that the natiooal flag borne by the brigade had been loaned them with tbe understanding that it was not to be blended with the confederate colors or borne in a procession in which that flag floated. It was finally agreed that the brigade should leave their Qnz and nse a United States flag loaned them by the 1 E. Lee Camp. The latter declined to take part in the parade without their banner, as the camp always carried, in its parades, the red white and blue banner of the Union as well as the Southern Cross. Tbe matter being amicably and satisfactorily adjusted, tbe procession started for Hollywood. Among the dtstlisuished personacet in line were Mrs. I'icketi, her son, Major Charles Pickett, the brother of the general; Gen. M. D. Corse, and Governor Curtin and A. K. McClure of Philadelphia. About 1 o'clock Gettysburg hill was reached. Shortly thereafter the exercises began with prayer by Rev. Ricbard Ferguson, the chaplain of tbe Pickett Association. The oration was delivered by Maj. It Taylor Scott. Among other things he said: "Consecrated by prayer we unveil our monument and dedicate it to the memory of Maj -Gen. George E. Pickstt and his division. It will teil of the dark, sad days of ISCi; bow we struggled to preserve our Union tbe Union under the federal Constitution as we read it and as our forefathers who made it taught ns to construe it" Major Scott then named many of the officers and some of the privates of Pickett's division, recalliog incidents of their valorous career, detailing the battles in which thvy fought, etc., and continued: "Comrades, we indulge in no vain regrets and harbor no rebellions thoughts. We claim to be worthy cf our dead, honest men, loyal citizens of this grest Republic, but loyal, too, to Virginia and tbe South. We believed, and to-day believe, that the cause of Virginia and tbe South was just. We appealed to the sword, and by the judgment rendered we stand true to our manhood, without apologies, and point to thn past as a pledge of loyalty io tbe future. Soldiers of tbe Philadelphia Brigade, welcome to Vtreioia. We greet you as friends. We have met before. The years have silvered our heads, but our hearts are honest, and warm, and true. Pickett's men rsmember the Bloody Angle by the stone wall, upon Cemetery UilL Your bloody defense of the hill at the angle, your stubborn resistance and Yankee pi nek made your brigade Immortal and you heroes. We welcome your Governor; welcome each one and all of you. To day, in our father's house, Virginia and 'the Old South' pledge with you allegiance to this Union an indissoluble Union of sovereign and indestructible States.'' The monument was unveiled by Gen. M. D. Corse. The monument is a granite structure tweuty-five feet high, and contalns'tho names of all the brigade officers,, commanders of regiments and companies. Losses by Fire.
