that h had some rteht to speak to workingroen, tn behalf of protection, on which too prospsrity cf this glorious Republio depended. Th race to which I belong." aaid he, "owes & debt of gratitnde to General Harrison. It was he who stood upon the rostrum with O'Connor and Esmond, members of the Paynellite party, and advocated the eaa3e of Ireland when at the same time Cleveland and bis Cabinet were derising an extradition treaty." He renounced, he continued, the Democratic party when, in 1834, the I risb-American element of the Democratic party went into the Chicago convention to prent the name of Grover Cleveland. John Kelly and Grady, leading the opposition, declared to the convention that Cleveland eould not carry the Irish vote. General Brae;, in his eulogy, said that he loved Clevelaod best for the enemies he had mademeaning the Irish peocle. In behalf of the thousands cf Irishmen who had left the Democratic party, the speaker advised them to resent this insult to the race and vote for Harrison and 31 or ton. "Dad lack," he said, "has followed the Irishman who has been placed upon the Democratic ticket in this city and county. One of the moet popular men was the late Edward Barry. In 1S73 he was on the Democratic ticket, a candidate for city marshal. He was slaughtered to such an extant by the antiCatholic element of his party that he only received 7,710 votes. The averaee Demccratie vote at that time was 8.209, and bis opponent. Eli Thompson, was elected by 1,327 majority. Two years previous, in 1S73. Michael J. Ward was on the Democratic ticket for city clerk, and was deflated by John Clinton by a majority of 583 votes. At the same time the Democratic candidate for Mayor. Major Mitchell, raa elected by a majority of 773."

T.he speaker enumerated a number of other Iri.h candidates who had bsea slaughtered by tha Democratic psrty. The Irish-Americans," h.e then said, ''have discovered which side England is on, and are going to tase the other side. Depend upon it, we are poing to fool John Ball-Cleveland this time." Mr. Kelleber, during his speech, was frequently applaadedbr Irish Democrats, and the entire crowd. Mr. Griffittbs then addressed the meetInn; and made an excellent appeal for the support of the Knpnblieaa ticket. Said he: "I am tired of the Democrats parading the cry of cheap clothing. What difference does it make whether the laborer come3 hera htmieif or cones in bolts of doth. Cheap pauper labor shall not come here in the shape of goods." Continuing, ha said the Democratic party was the same one that had supported slave labor and had opposed the passage cf the homestead law. Cleveland, while Gove: cor of New York, had vetoed eleven bills for the betterment of the laborer condition. During his remarks relating to being in favor of eight hours for a day's work, a gang of Democratic hoodlums apprcached the stand Telii&g the dollar-a-day lie They were evidently beat on breaking up the meeting. The me interruptions occurred wheo Mr. Kellher wa psakine, as they did while Mr. Henderson talked foriiblr of his bavins: been confederate soldier who was In line with the army of protection. His remarks wer frequently applauded, but to him as well aa to Dir. Kelleber, Democrats led ty Councilman Parkicson and Frank McKercan, Steve Mat tier's bar-keeper, shouted, "turn coat continousiy. Policeman No. 3 was requested to stop the noise, but he refused to Interfere. Commercial Travelers' Demonstration. At a meeting of the Republican commercial travelers, held at the Grand Hotel last nicht, the arraccments for the demonstration and reception of all the coramercial men in the city today were perfected. The reception committss will meet . at 6:20 this morning at Tomlinson Hall, where badges can be procured by ail who wish to take part in the parade. The badge is a handsome one of white satin, with a picture of General Harnon a. the top and a sketch of a commercial traveler at the bottcm. There will be no uniform required, but the committee on arrangements desire that dark clothes, with silk or Derby hats,' be worn as far as possible. The fi rc. division will consist? of those who wear silk hats, and the Derby wearers will constitute the second division. The programme, as heretofore stated, includes an address of welcome by Mayor Denny at Tomlinson Hall in the af thrnoon. at 1:30 o'clock, after wuico. tbe visitors will form in line and march to General Harrisons residence, taking the following route: South to 'Wcsbington street, thence wes; to Pennsylvania, ncrth on Pennsylvania to New Vork, west on New York to Meridian, north on Meridian to St. Clair, east on Sc.

The latter include short speeches and musical selections at Tomlinson Hall. A large number of traveling men from oth;r cities have signified their intention to participate. A number of amusing features will be interspersed in the programme, and tbe whole affair seems bound to be a success. Gen. Harrison Receptions. Tbe principal visitors to Gen. Harrison yesterday were tbe surviving members of the Eleventh Indiana Infantry, and the matrons of tbe orphans' homes of the State, who held their annual meeting here. The matrons called at 11 A. M., acd Mrs. Franklin, who had been chosen to speak for the party, presented her companions to the General as matrons who era trying to make good men and women out of what is sometimes very poor material. "As for myself," she added, "I can say what most of the men who visit you can not, and that ia. that I have raised four boys to vote for you." The Eleventh Icdiana Veterans called in the aftercoon, the General meetinr them at the New Denison. The visitors were under the direction of General Lew Wallace, and as in tbe case of tbe ladies who preceded them, were heartily welcomed. To-aay, at 4 p. m.. General Harrison meets the commercial travelers at Tomlinson Hall. There are no receptions definitely fixed for the coming week. A Day Claimed by Worklngmen. Advices which continue to come in from various points throughout this State indicate that the gathering cf workiogmen in this city next Thursday will he a tremendous demonstration. It was first proposed to invite tbe workingmec of at least a dozen States to eome to Indianapolis. A little investigation showed that the city of Indianapolis was not lago enoozh to hold the one-fiftieth part of these who would likely attend. Mr. Layton realized the tact and it was decided not to issue any invitations outside the State. IndiauA alone, as a tour of the State made a few-days ago shows, will send 50,000 men to Indianapolis cn the 23th. Tbe number may reach 75, C00. Keduced fare has been secured on all the railroads. All the public halls of Indianapolis have been rented, where meetings wili be held during the day after, the grand parade. "Will Contribute His Share. Secretary Hobbs, of the Committee of One Hundred, says that Chairman Taggart, of the Democratic county committee, has signified his willingness to "contribute to the fund the citizens' committee desires to use in paying rewards for the detection acd conviction of illegal voters. Political Notes. Jadge Thurman. during his visit here yesterday, called upon Mrs. Hendricks at her residence and also unon Governor Gray and others tt the State Capitol. Hon. Henry Kablo. of Toledo, O., is here visiting his brother, ex-Consul Kahlo, and reports the Republican csnvais in northern Ohio in a satisfactory condition. The Wanamaker Club will meet at the courthouse at 7 o'clock to-night, to turn out in honor of tbe commercial travelers, and escort them to Tomlinson Hall. A full meeting is requested. General Foraker cams in last nicht from Muncie, Ind.. where he spoke yesterday o an audience of 8,000 in the public square of the city, and left at 10 p.m. for lilooraington. 111., where he speaks with Governor Osleeby to-day. Gen. W. H. Gibson, the Ohio orator, wss in the city yesterday, after malting several speeches in tbis State. lie is well rleaed with the outlook both here and in Michigan. Both t'aat State and Indiana, he says, are sure, for Harrison and Morton. L. P. McCormick, who the Sentinel says is making speeches in the interest of the Democratic party, states that be has made but one speech during the campaign, and that was not in the interest of tbe Democracy. He says he is a Republican in the strictest sense. There is a elasa of Democrats whose ignorance and depravity lead them to express their partisan spite in a manner that is shocking to all sense of decency. Ii- A. Merithew reports that tbe Democrats near him, on Massachusetts avenue, who persisted in tearing down the American flag, are now despoiling in a filthy way pictures of General Harrison. The Silver-toned Quartet gave another of Its fine concerts, last nicbt, at the National Buccal Institute, to an audience of about two hundred and fifty people. They were assisted ry Miss Bessie Jenny, who rendered two recitations, and Miss Laura McManus, who gave two whistling solos. The whole twelve numbers were greatly enjoyed by all present.

RECALLING DAYS OF THE WAR

The Survivors of the Eleventh Regiment Hold Another of Their Reunions. Mayor Denny Gives the Veterans a Cordial Welcome to the City and Gen. Lew AValhco Responds for His Old Soldiers. The Elsventb Indiana Regiment held its annual reunion and camp-fire yesterday afternoon and evening at Maconic Hall. The ladles of the regiment spread a fine dinner at 1 o'clock, which was enjoyed immensely by the old veterans and about three hundred of their friends and guests. At 3 o'clock a business meeting was held, which Dr. Rooker, of Castleton, former surgeon of the regiment, almost broke up by bringing in a barrel of hard cider labeled, "Quinine and Coffee." It was greeted with cheers and a good part of it wss speedily disposed nf. Last evening the survivors of the regiment fell in ranks and inarched to the New Denison House and escorted General Lew Wallace, their first colonel, to tbe hall The ball was crowded by the lime the regiment got there. The Mendelssohn Quartet sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and several of the old soldiers persisted in joining in the chorus. Mayor Denny was then introduced, and made the speech of welcome. He said that it afforded him great pleasure to say a few words to the eurviving members of the Eleventh Regiment. "No re trim en t that went.to the front to do battle for the Union deserves a heartier welcome," he said, "and no city of Indiana eould feel prouder of the presence of the old Eleventh than this, where so much was done towards its organization and where so many of its members reside. Every loyal citizen of Indiana feels proud of its history, which is the best known of any perhaps that ever left the State. It was one of the first volunteer regiments to prepare for and do actual service in the field. It shirked no duty assigned ir, and gavo the confederates with whom it eame In contact no time to shirk their duty. The regiment was in seventeen hardfought battles, besides skirmishes, commencing with Fort Donelson and ending with Cedar Creek. It was exceedingly fortunate,howevar, in losses sustained on the field. No regimental officer was killed daring the entire service of four years. But one was wounded, and he not seriously. That was the gallant Dan Macauley, at Champion Hill. Tbe people of Indianapolis, as well as his old comrades, miss him here to-night I am here to bid you welcome and thank you on the behalf of the pabiio for the privilege of meeting you. The general public is always interested in these reunions. We are glad to see you together again in this city, where we have had the pleasure of meeting with you many times before and hope to many times again. I speak for all the people of Indianapolis when I bid you all welcome, thrice welcome, to our midst on this occasion of your twelfth annual reunion. The Mayor's speech was received with hearty applause and private G. B. Thompson, who was acting as chairman, introduced Gen. Lew Wallace, who was received with cheers. Gen. Wallace said: Mayor Dsnny In response to the hearty welcome that you have given us. perhaps the bsst thing I could say is simply, 4Ve thenk you, sir.' We have always had a hearty welcome in Indianapolis in the twelve reunions wo have held here, and we know it's a good place to come to. It is natural that we should come here because it was here we were twice organized first as three months' men acd then as veterans. When President Lincoln isued his first call for troops I received a telegram from Governor Morton applausel to come to Indianapolis. I came at once. There was great excitement. The excitement of a political campaign is not to be compared with it Governor Morton said we have to raise six regiments as our quota, and I want you to act as adjutant-general. I said to hi to, Have yoa not an adjutant-general aires IjT 'Ye.' said he, 'but he is not on our side.' Said I. 'Where is tbe office and books!' 'There U no office aud there are no books.' he replied; yoa will lust have to get along without thorn. I told him that I would accept the office and go to work at once, upon one condition, and his conn tenance fell when he asked me what the condition was, but he brightened op again when I told him my condition was that I should have my choice of one of the regiments and go with it to the field. Applause, "Another condition that I made was that I should be allowed to send for Fred Knefler for my clerk. That was on Tuesday morning, and when on Saturday nicht I made my report to the Governor 1 reported six regiments raised and seventy companies over. Applause. I said, mako my regiment tbe Eleventh Indiana, scio one can say I picked out the first for myself, and that is how I came to be your colonel. Applause. Early Sunday morning I marched you to an old brick house in the northern part of the city, and at 10 o'clock we had ijrill. I uniformed tbe regiment on my own credit, and have been wondering ever since how that tailor came to trust me for those clothes. Laughter. The old Eleventh was the first regiment seen upon these streets, aud it was the first to leave for tbe front. We have good cause for a kind remembrance of the city where we organized and reorganized in three months. In reorganizing we elected the same officers and had the same drill for three years. Through the aptitude of the men and the zeal of tbe company officers it was the best drilled regiment I oversaw the best, disciplined and the best organized. It wss never upon a battle-field where there was a defeat. It halted and retired once or twice upon command, and' that with grumbling until the men found it was to take up a better position. There was once an Indiana regiment in the Mexican war that was unjustly and falsely accused of cowardice. It was at the battle of Henna Vista, and the Eleventh was determined to wipe that false staio off tbo shield of Indiana, so we took for our motto, 'Remember Beun a Vista.' You all remember it. Every mao understood that, he represented the pride and honor of the State. No retreat for them. It meant disgrace for them and a" disgrace to the State. We were at Cumberland in a dangerous position, with 4.000 rebels in front of us and a river at our back, and I ordered a change of position. It looked like a retreat, and as I rode down the lines I could see the scowls of the men and hear tbe muttered words of 'Buena Vista.' Bat to stay was ruin, and it was all right when they found I bad placed them in an impregnable position. They were the best blood of Indiana, and took to soldiering as naturally as a duck takes to water. They were instinctive soldiers. It was their nature to fight. All that was necessary was to give them a gun and they went at it. When the war began Indiana was in disrepute; when it closed, thanks to this regiment, we stood among the foremost rank, and no one now dares question the bravery of Indiana soldiers." General Wallace then referred to the growth of IodianaDolis from tbe village that thev first kmw to a city and the wondf rful groth of Indiana, and io conclusion said: "We thsak you again. We know th s is a good place to come to, and knnw that no pains will be spared to make our stay a pleasant one. For the third time 1 say for myself and all our comrades, wo thank yon." The quartet sang "Tenting To night." and General McGinnis read an ablr-prepared article on the battle of Champion Hill. It was read at a Grand Army reunion last winter, and has beon published in full. He said that it eeemed like a joke for him to be telling them about the battle of Champion Hill, because he bad never yet met a soliier who was io that battle, or the Vicksburg campaign that could not give Lira points upon both. "I am sorry," continnued he," that Mayor Denny mentioned "the fact about only one regimental officer being wounded and none killed. It always seemed to me somewhat discreditable, and I always thought that some of them ought to have teen killed to keep up the credit of the regiment. Lauirnter. 1 dUn't care who it was so it was not me. I wa3 like the Irishman who. was williag to sacrifice all his wffe's re'ations." After the General's address the reveille was given by an old drummer and fifer.and comrade O'Reilly, of Terre Haute, recited "The Old Canteen," and an Irish poem. CaDt David Wilson read a humorous paper on the experiences of the regiment, and an hour or more was spent in short speeches and music. Tne regiment resolved to hold its next reunion Oer. 18, 1889. at Crawforasville. The following officers were elected: President, GidB. Thompson. Indianapolis; vice-president, Dr. Sam Ensminger, Crawfordsville; treasurer. Major James IL Ro?s, Indianapolis, and secretary. Will J. Kercbeval, Indianapolis. The meeting then adjourned. Tlie Seventh IJattery. The reunion of the Seventh Indiana Battery was held in the city eourt-room, yesterday afternoon, and was attended by about twenty-five of tbe surviving members of tho battery. The programme included reports of officers,an his

torical sketch of the battery, and short speeches by several comrades. The day was the anniversary of the battle of Cedar Creek, in which tbe battery participated, and the speeches naturally turned upon that great contest The battery was organized early ir tbe war, and bad some of the hardest fighting to do. It was with the Eleventh Regiment on most of the campaigns, and last night attended that regiment's annual camp-fire. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: rr:dent Hezekiah Ilinkson. Vice-president Pecer Fisher. 9 Treasurer Isaac J. Davton.

We have teen recently talking about the Influence of the taritl on commerce, and we find that protectiou has deeidedly benefited the merchant as it has the worktngman, the manufacturer and the farmer. The free-traders have professed to have a great deal of affection for the merchant and especially to desire what they call the re establishment of our merchant marine. Tbe free-traders, however, are the very people who aro responsible for the dosay cf the merchant marine. They and their friends were hostile to the Union and brought on the war of secession. Tbo first nullification act passed by South Carolina was directed against a protective tariff law. The war of secession was undertaken and sustained by the men who are now tryiog to destroy American induetries by abolishing.ihe tariff. They desttoyed the American commerce with their cruisers, built in England with money borrowed from England, manned by Englishmen and coaled at English stations. They are now seeking to reward their allies by turning over to them the American market, which they will control if the government remains in tbe possession of the Democratic party. All the time they profess to have at heart the welfare of the merchant marine. How do they show their affection for itl Trade is waiting for us, but we cannot sustain steamship lines in competition with foreign vessels that are supported and subsidized by tbe government. Our own companies do not ask for a subsidy. They ask only that the government should pay to them a fair remuneration for carrying the mails. This the Demoeratio administration refuses to do. Evenwhen Congress appropriates money for the steamship service, the Democratic Po stmaster-general refuses to expend it for the purpose for which it was in tended. This refusal of the Democrats to do what is asked makes it absolutely impossible to run steamships to bouth America, whose trade we might command it we had only tbe facilities for transporting ir. This indicates how much sincerity there is in free-trade professions of regard for our merchant marine. The Democratic party first drove our flag from the ocean and now refuse to do anything for its restoration. TIpieciiiioe. Deufpche Araerltsner, Lafiyette, Francis Johnson, Editor. In this presidential campaign our own county assumes, so to say, almost privileged character. It was the battle of Tippecanoe, fought and woo within our own borders and rather important in its results than in its own magnitude and the number of its combatants. vbich made Gen. Wm. II. Harrison famous and elected him to the presidency. During that entire campaign of 1S-W "Tippeeanoo"' was the battle cry of tbe Whig party and the name of our county resounded from the Atlantic coast to the Missouri river. And say what yon please about Geo. Ben. Harrison's own prominence and merits, it cannot be denied that the historical reminiscence connected with his name, recalling the glorious victory of Old Tippeeanos at a time when a simitar issue was before the people, bad something to do with his nomination by tbe Republican party at Chicago. It is this historical reminisceoce which gives Tippecanoe county more than a local importance in tbe present campaign, and the eyes of tbe State will be turned upon it to see what kind cf a majority it will give the grandson of tbe man who made its came famous in American history. General llawley's Tribute to Harrison. From Speech at Hartford (.Conn.) on Monday. For six years I have beoo in close contact with Benjamin Harrison, discussing In the national Senate a great variety of affairs. You learn all about a roan under such circumstances. He is a strong roan, a clear thinker, powerful in argument, and without a flaw in bis character. He was a brilliant soldier and is a very able lawyer. There is no weak spot in bis armor. He has been making speeches nearly every day since he was nominated. I do not koow the man whom I would have trusted to make so many speeches io his own campaign without doing any harm. You notice that a certain other candidate keens his mouth shut tight! But Harrison baa not slipDed once by so much as a word. He has made a number of phrases that will stay, like that in relation to the tendency of the Mills bill, 'It is not the length of tho step but the direction." lie has shown himself a greater man than his friends believed him to be. I am confident that as President of tbe United States he wi!l more than satisfy all expectations. What ISlunche K. Rruce Says. Washington IV6t. Ex-Register cf the Treasury B. IC Bruce is going to New Jersey, where he will deliver seven speeches. From tbere he will go to Connecticut,"wbere he will deliver three speeches, and then to New York, where he will deliver three more. He has just returned from Indiana and the Northwest. As to Michigan, Minnesota aud Wisconsin," said he, "I have no doubt. It is nonsense to talk of any ono of them going Democratic They are all safe for the Republicans " How about Indiana?" "Well, Indiana is all right, unless the Democrats should pour a big lot of money in there just about tbe time of election. I can't say what the result would be in that case." 'You think New York is safe for the Republicans?" ' "That is the opinion I have from all I hear." Preaching with a Knife and the Bible. Birmingham (Ala. 1 Special. "Shut up, old man, you're off your base; I'm a preacher to-day." This language was ad dressed to Rev. J. T. Radcliflf, a Baptist minis ter in bhelby county, as he announced his text last Sunday morning. The speaker was David Harrell?on, a member of the church, who had suddenly become crazed on the subject of re ligion. V ith a knife to one hand and a Bible io the other, Harrellson then marched up and down the aisle aod preached a sermon. Parson Radeliff tried to leave tbe house, and Harrellson sprang upon him and beat him severely. While the fight was going on the congregation escaped from the church. Harrellson then wandered around through the neighborhood for three days with his knife in one hand and his Bible in the other, preaching to every one he met and defying arrest Yesterday he was captured. and to-day was taken to the Insane Asylum at 1 uscalooia.

WELCOMING THE OLD ROMAN

Large Democratic Gathering Held Last Night at the English Opera-House. It GrcetPJudse Thnrman xrith Great Enthusiasm and Listens with a Like Spirit to His Speech Governor Gray Also Talks. The English Opera-house was well filled with emotional Democrats at 8 o'clock last evening, and several hundred who could cot get inside romped and roared in the hallways and approaches of the building. On the stage, which' was rather dimly lighted, was a plaster bust of President Cleveland, on a pedestal, which was draped with the American flag, and the top of the proscenium arch wae also decorated with the American colors and pictures of ei-Vice-Presi-dent Hendricks and Cleveland and Thurman. Under the flags sat a number of promiuent Demoeratio citizens, among them Messrs. Si Sheerin, Jackson Landers, Thos. Taggart, Austin H. Brown, Judge ClavDool, W. II. English, John J. Cooper, Marshal Hawkins, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Lewison, Wm. Christian, John P. Frenzel, Col. J. B. Maynard, Smith Myers, Judge John A. Holman, Pierre Gray, Luke Walpole and others; and the presence of a considerable number of ladies lit up the rather sombre scene in which the stage wae set. The main floor and socond tier were . filled with adults for the most part, but the balcony next the roof was monopolized largely by small boys who, at the outset, manifested an earnest desire to take charge of the meeting. The sight of half a dozen vacant chairs reserved for the speakers, which were located on the stage, in the rear of the plaster bust, seemed to bo a source of considerable irritation to the part of the crowd that had to stand up, and there were frequent inquiries, in terms more forcible than elegant, as to the whereabouts of their intended occupants. At 8:15 o'clock Judge Thurman, leaning on tho arm of Governor Gray, and backed up by the stalwart figures of Allen Thurman jr. and Chairman Jewett, of the Democratic central committee, entered from tbe right wing, and the house set up a yell, which was accompanied by a vigorous waving of bats and bandannas. Judge Thurman looked pleased but nervous, and walked with that hesitating, dragging step peculiar to those who are infirm and to people who are approaching the bead of a steep pair of stairs in a dark passageway. He seemed relieved when, piloted by his son Allen, he found tho chair reserved for him. Chairman Jewett gave him time to rest a little acd filled in tbe time with a few remarks, tbe substance of which was that Judge Thurman had come to the home of Hendricks, and, liko the latter, was destined to occupy a vice-presidential chair; that he had not come to make a speech, but to save his vocal organs for Brazil to-morrow; that Governor Gray and others would tend to the speaking, and that tbe guest of tho evecing would merely look in to the faces of those among whom Mr. Hendricks lived and loved. Others would attack monopolies, and in that connection Mr. Jewett desired to say that Tomlinson Hall, which was the gift of a good man and was intended for the use of tbe public, bad been rented for the evening by some uionopolist, and was cot available for immediate Demoeratio purposes. During Mr. Jewstt's address he rubbed his hands vigorously together and was heartily applauded, some of his audience encouraging him with cries of "Slug 'em againn and "Go on," but the chairman explained tbat Governor Grav and not himself wss the slogger and with a final encomium upon Judge Thurman as a lofty man, introduced him to the audience. As the latter cheered and waved hats and handkerchiefs Judge Thurman came forward to the speaker's table and at this time bis physical weakness was painfully apparent. His son helps! him to rise, guided lain forward to the table and stood by htm an instant to see that he .was in shape to talk while the Jode stood wait ing for an opportunity to be heard. He seemed to be a good deal annoyed at the confusion in the audience and referred to it once or twice during his speech. There was difficulty in hearing him nt first, hot his voice filled ont as he proceeded, some of his sentences recalling his oldtime vigor as an orator; but the greater portion of his remarks were made in a conversational way, and many of them were obscure aud indistinct. He spoke as follows: "I eame into your State last Monday, and from that day to this I have received a hospitality and kindness that no words of mine can adequately acknowledge or repay. I was told yesterday that although I had no appoiotment for this goodly city of Indianapolis, if 1 would stop here and spend a day, I should see many friend, and mauy Democrats, and that I should pass my time in quiet in order to recuperate for tbe further labors of tbe campaign. Four years sgo I came to Indianapolis to aid, as well as I could, in the election of Grover Cleveland, and that noble man whose bust stands before us. Pointing to bust of Hendricks. Cheers. J I shall never forget that however feeble my efforts may have been on that occasion, it was tbonght by him that they were of some service to the good cause, and the attention and kindness I received here then require of me, as long as I live, to think kindly of the people of this great city of this great State. ICheers. That talking is excessively annoying. It is so because if I have to talk at the top of my voice cow, I don't know that I will havo any voice to speak with to-morrow. My friends, we aro once more in a great presidential campaign. Tbe first question before the American people is, shall Grover Cleveland be re elected President of the United StaW Cries of 4Yes yes.'j" This led Mr. Thurman to extol the Cleveland administration aod the President personally, whom he regarded as one of the greatest men who ever sat io the presidential chair. He claimed that he was conscientious in everything he did, and tbat he never weut to bed until after midnight, spending all the time in publio business. He spoke of Mr. Cleveland's methods of work as being those of a man devoted to an honest performance of dutv. Referring to the prosperity of the coun try, he claimed that it had. during tbe present administration, been more prosperous than ever before, and then asked where is the Union soldier who has been deprived of his pension under the administration of Cleveland? This caused a reference to the money that had been awarded to pensioners by Grover Cleveland, and by allowances by the Commissioner of Pensions. Judge Tnurman did not know of any rebel roldier who had been pensioned. "If he could be found," said he, "Barnum would buy bim forthwith as a matter .for show." The Judge then passed to the tariff question which be said was a tax, the receipts for which are in every one's pocket. It is concealed in tbe clothes one wears and even in the price of the speaker's bandanna haedkercbief. He then, by the illustrations he has frequently used, sought to show how the tariff, as a tax, was oppressive. He brought out no new argument and rested this phase of the question upon the claim that the importerdds the duty to the price at which he sells, and eo, in turn, it reaches the consumer who pays the tax in the end. He drew upon the present prices of calico and shoes to illustrate his position, and, while they were lower .now than they were years ago, he said tbe protective tariff had nothing to do with the reduetioo. "It rather increased the price of those shoes," he continued, "so far as it effected the price at all. The price was reduced for several reasons. Our improved machinery, . by which one man makes ten pairs of shoes in a day, is one thing tbe eost of each pair being 35 cents for making them. Betsy burs her calico for 2 cents now because of the improved machinery, and the manufacturer makes more profit than the man who sold calico at 50 cents a yard forty-four years ago." Applause. Tbe Judge closed bv calling attention to bis engagement at Brazil to-day, and by complimenting Governor Gray. At the conclusion of Judge Thurman's address Governor Gray was introduced, and the gallery occupants manifested an inclination to disperse, but the lower floors stood ly the .Governor, and assisted him with various directions as to the eonduct of his address. He congratulated the Democrats present on the successful retention of Judge Thurman and their brilliant prospects generally, and then proceeded to arraign tbe Republicans for various offenses. He complained that General Harrison had never said a word in his speeches about reducic j taxes. He indorsed Judge Thurman's statement that the tariff was a tax, charged that the Republican party was a free-whisky organization and closed with an adjuration to Democratic wives to secure a Demoeratio vote from their husbands at the point of a mop, and some advice to Democratic maidens to make their swaios vote for Cleveland before accepting their advances. The meeting closed at 9-.30 p. m. and before

leaving Judge Thnrman shook bands with a few ladies on the stage, remarking that they did not hurt his hands as much as the men."

The Mob of Thieves at Pern. The political demonstration at Peru Thurs day was attended by a large number of thieves, pickpockets and almost every eonceivable char acter of toughs. They were in such cumbers that it wae wholly impossible to put a stop to their work: and to add to the difficulty the officers from here say tbat Sheriff Gray, of Peru, was unable to give any assistance, altbough he had promised to do so. The lives or the Indianapolis men were threatened and Sergeant Quigley came borne with a wound on the side of his neck, caused by being struck with a sling-shot while attempting to make an arrest Later developments. yesterday, showed tbat the thieves enjoyed a harvest. A. Swetzer had his barn burned and entrances were made into the residencee of L. B. Fulwiler, John Kratzer and several others, and it is reported that a number of rich finds were made. Peru, evidently, has had enough of Democratic rallies. Coming Lecture Coarse. Tbe sixth season of the Indianapolis Lecture Course will open in December.

Their mission was to seeuro the promise from Judge Thnrman and Governor Grav to be present at the centennial on Democratic day, next week. Both the gentlemen had engagements preventing their accepting the invitation. Republican Prospects Io Virginia. Interview with Col. David II. Iinston. "Colonel, how is the fight going on in Virginia? What are the chances of the Republicans?" ''The chancei for success In old Virginia are Arst-rate. They are very good. The Republicans ran carry the Old Dominion easily if there is a fair election.0 "What can hinder themr ''Fraud. That's what we have to contend against. By a fair election tbe State can be carried by the Republicans." "Do you know anything about West Virgin iar 'Ye?, I know something about West Virginia. The Republicans are making a good fight in that State, and I think we are going to carry it." They Are Io Favor of Fraud. Philadelphia Korth American. The action of the Republican and Democratic State committees in Indiana on tbe subject of fair elections proves conclusively tbat the Democrats base their hope of winning on fraud. Only a short tune ego the Indiana Democrats clamored for a fair election, but when a committee of citizens headed by a Demoeratio merchant offered to insure n fair election, aod asked for funds, the Democratic State committee declined to contribute, on the ridiculous ground that it cannot be called upon to give money to a movement claiming to be based solely on the public spirit of its promoters. The Republican committee, on the contrary, promptly responded with a check for the amount asked for. Thia 6hoT7j which side is most anxious for an honest election. o Wanted Cheep Bricks. BrooklanJ Standard -Union. Henry George said in his Brooklyn speech latt week: If English bricks can be brought to this country and sold chearer than bricks made here, let them come. What we want are cheap bricks. It is not with us a question of brick-makers, but a question of bricks. You remember that Henry George was not talking for a Republican victory, but a Democratic, and that he said be was for Cleveland because Cleveland favors free trade. With us, it is "a question of brick-makers." Prospects fur West Virginia, rhnadelcbla Press. In none of the doubtful States are the prospects of Republican victory more encouraging than in West Virginia, General GofTe aggressive and intelligent canvass for Governor, and the widespread revolt against President Cleveland's bold espousal of the poliey of free trade are working a tremendous revolution in the State, and the liklibood is daily increasing that West Virginia's electoral vote will be secured for Harrison and Morton. The Traits Controlled by Democrats. Portland fOre.) News. Tbe most gigantio trusts and monopolies in tbis country are controlled by such Democrats as Senator Payne, Secretary Whitney, William L.
