At tho conclusion of Judge Thurman’s speech President James Alison read the following message from Washington: I very much regret that Mrs. Cleveland • and myself must deny ourselves the pleasure of being present at the exposition on Democratic day, and we can only say that our disappointment is greater than that of those who have kindly invited us. Gaovxit CLfcvxi*AWD. Speakor Carlisle was then introduced.

As an old-fashioned representative of old-fashioned Democracy. Allen

G. Thurman speaks with aninortiy. w naiever he states concern ng the principles and the policy of the Democratic party may be accepted by the people of the country as the truth. There Is no part of the people of the United States who are so much indebted to the Democratic party and Democratic principles for their prosperity aid srowin as the people of the great Northwest. To It you owe. in the tost place, the east territory which you Inherit; to it you owe the religious liberiy which, was established for all time In the Northwest by the ordinance of 'S'. To it you owe the exemption in. that ordinance from the institution of slavery. The conrent on at Vincennes, Ind., presided orer by William Henry Harrison in MIA petitioned the Continental Congress to set aside the s xth article or the ordinance of '87 and establish slavery in the Northwest Territory. That petition, upon being scat to Congress and referred to a comm ttee, was reported against by John Randolph, of Roanoke, a Virginian and a Democrat. Whan the ordinance of '87 was passed there were present only the representatives of eight States, five of which wore Southern, and not a single State voted against that ordinance. The only individual representative who voted against ft was Hr. Tates, of New York. The Republican argument is that if the prodnets of foreign labor are admitted into this country free of duty, or with a low rate of duty. Urn wages of laboring men must be equal ned, and that they will be eq aalized. not by In-* creasing rates on foreign lands, bat by decreasing wages at borne. One single tact in onr history will refute that proposition. Absolute free trade exists between the thirty-eight States of this Union, and yet the wages of tho various States are not equalised. Statistics shpw that in some occupations 90 per cent, and in some 70 per cent, more wages toe paid in Chicago than in New York. I nm not arguing to show that free trade would be n good thing in this country; 1 am not arguing even to show that a reduction of the revenue duty upon imported goods would be a good thing, bat I nm simply answering the Republican theory. I do believe that a reduction of taxes upon the necessities of life would bn of iadnite advantage, not only to tho laboring men, but to nil the people of this country, thus enabling our manufacturer* to enter all the great markets of the world; tat I do not bel eve that by so doing it will reduce the wages paid to laboring men In this country. If this Is done the Catted States will have access to all tho heat markets of the world and England will cease to be protected by the laws of the United States. 1 am In favor of reducing taxes, not only to relieve the laboring man, but also because it Is absolutely necessary to reduce the surplus revenue* ot the Gov era men!.

To President Cleveland he referred as the grand representative of Democratic principles; to ThSrnWB a» s man whose Very presence is an inspira' toil t<S the Democracy of the land; to General Harrison as a very respectable id wyer out here at Indianapolis, and L.

Mr. inunnan saiu tnat ne wouiu no* elaborate on thd tariff question in fils remarks, but would leave that to Speaker Carlisle, a perfect expert oil that subject. He thou spoke of the action of the Senate on the tariff bill and fishery treaty ai id said the Chinese Exclusion act, which was passed by the House the samo day it was introduced, remained in J»he Senate six weeks before that body could “find out whether or not they should become a mongrel country-half white and half heathen Chinese."

The speakerci ntinued: “Having falcd In their discussion of |.IM tariff; having tailed in the row they rat-id about the fisheries; having failed in their attempt to destroy Cleveland with their opposition to the Chinese Exclusion’bill, those men in the last days of the canvass, in the going down of the sun over thi6 political year, these men —cay, when I say these men do not understand me as alluding tq any Senator of the United States of any political party, or to any man of distinction and character In that party, tor I should be ashamed of my country If X could make such an imputation upon snoh a man—but the mean men, or some of the mean men, of that party have all , at once discovered another mare's neat {merriment) which they think will hatch aa offspring that may destroy the Democrat o party[More merriment and great applause.) They want to get rid of a discussion of the tariff; they want to get rid of a discussion ottho fisheries; they want to get rid of the Chinese question. and so they have started a new dodge: invented a new scheme, which you may have seen in tho Cincinnati papers of to-day. They pretend that an Engl simian by the same of Murchison, living at some place in California that 1 never, heard of until 1 saw it* name in these papers, wrote a letter to the British Minister at Washington to inqu re of him whether the naturalised Englishman in California ought to vote for Cleveland or rote for Harrison and that the British Minister made him a reply, and this letter, which it is alleged Mr. Murchison wrote, bolls .over with mean Insinuations against Cleveland and the Democratic party aa if they wore tho hirelings ol Great Britain, and boils over with fulsome praise of Harrison as if he was the lnosrnation of American patriotism.

West of Otab, in his annual report :o the Secretary Of the Interior, note* the ►scent partial union of the Mormon and non-Mormon elements in the Territory, “with a view to advancing material Interests,” but remarks that the movement is in a large measure due to the anxiety to secure the admission of the Territory Into the Union as a State. The Governor finds that the chief objection to admitting Utah into Statehood is that it would enthrone with .sovereignly the power of the Mormon church, which is foreign to the spirit-and genius at the institutions of the country. The . Governor asserts that he has no religious fontroTersy with the Mormons except as 4o the practice of polygamy, but lu the Mormon policy now controllng the Territory. he notes the union of tho Church in the State. “The control of the priesthood, which wields a supreme power in

The Star reporter could not leiarn with absolute certainty whether the demand was for Lord Saekvi lie’s recall of for his reprimand and an apology. That the demand was for his recall Is. however, believed to be the fact. Whatever action the Administration has taken or may take tn the matter It is safe to swr wlU be Inflnenced by the belief on their part that Lord Sackvillo was actuated by sinister motives. A’ the residence of the British Legation yesterday morning it was stated that they had not succeeded iu getting any further Information as to who Mr. Murchison is. The Minister appeared to be still in doubt as to whether or not there was such a person. ANNUAL REPORT ON THE BOLDIERB’ HOME.
