HHs Return from Chicago.
COLUMBUS, O., July 13.-No demonstration
over the Democratic nominations at Chicago
was made here until Judge Thurman arrived
home last night when he was met at the depot
by several thousand persons with brass band
and liberal display of bandanas. There was
at the same time grand display of fire works
all over the city, Carriages were waiting
for himself and party decorated with flags and
behind these the people fell in line in most of
them wearing red handkerchiefs. Along the
line OF march was one continuous roar with
enthusiastic demonstrations and brilliant dis
plays .of fire works. Upon the arrival of the
procession at ex-senator Thurman's residence
he rose in his carriage and said:
'My friends and neighbors, L should not be
human, would have no heart in my bosom, ii 1

kindness and regard: knew that you were my
friends, that you would greet me and take me by

be anything but private citizen this is indeed
more than could have been anticipated Therefore
express to you most sincerely my gratitude. This
repays me for any disappointment you may think
feel but let me tell you sincerely that am not dis

rejoicing of my friends than if had received the
nomination for the Presidency. Your nominations
were fairly made 1t is impossible to crafty all in
such matters and there will always be those who are
disappointed because of a failure to nominate
their friends. but there should be none at the
present time. The convention was the grandest
ever held on earth and the nominations were made
by such large majorities and amid such enthusiasm
as to inspire confidence. Let us go to work and re-

the door was closed.
