ro,rpo. OHIO, Oct 6.-Ex-Senator
r.,rmsn made a speech here tonight
lava great portion of his time to re-
i.io, N the recent speeches of Senator
lhorman. Judge Thurman, at the begin
sIrg his speech, said that the Mount
caood speech OF Senator Sherman, deliv
cred at the opening Of the campaign, was
ormdictment OF the South and a revival
a1ae charges OF crime and outrage made
n rsars gone by. He quoted the words
president Garfield in opposition to the
.oyi,ai Of seotio J hatred. The last
residential campaign, he said, was
named by the Republican candidate on
,5a 5ataritF az the chief issue, but before the
.ampaign closed this was dropped and
NE 5bl0ody shirt" raised as the banner OF
certain Republican victory, but when the
y6tps were counted the banner was found
railing in the dust.
GEN. GRANTS SENTIMENTS.
Particular stress was laid upon the sen.
tmpnts Of Gen. Grant, that the passions
i ofthe war were at an end, and amaZement
was expressed that man speaking over
nj, tomb should be 30 audaclous a5 to say
a rattbere is no reconciliation, that the
war is not at an end, and that the only
vsv TO suppress it is again TO send the
mays in blue'' to the South. Quoting
from Senator Sherman's speech, the
speaker SAID:
4 Nov IS impossible, as 1t seems to me, to
mlsundersr8nd these utterances Ihey are
ether vain and empty defamation, or dis
gushing DrayadO such as no man OF the ability
X Senator sherman or in his high station
could indulge in without disgrace, or they are
bis real sentiments, and mean- When thof-
8 oughly ana wed, that fthe Republican party
i cannot obtain power in any other Wiy 1t shan
obtain and hold IL by the sword.
NOT TO BE IGNORED.
81 know tbatsuch an idea if you do not re-
feet upon it, Is calculated to excite your de-
rs0u; ont stop and reflect If tho great
State II Ohio can be carried by such appeals
0pas5i0n and prejudice as senator sherman is
making. if his weapons shall be sufficient 10
thrust rom Office men, whom, two years ago
gOu eected-if they shall hew the way to
iith term in the Senate for their author, they
"a will become the creed OF the Repabllcan par
q yin 1883 and the doctrine OF hate will be
strongly if, not permanently, established IN
. tatldud.'
Judge Thurman said that the issue raised
N Ex-senator Sherman 10 a dangerous one to the
aness and prosperity OF the American peo
4 pie, and the effort to blow into flame the dy
ls embers of civil strife should be frOWned
l0Wn by all loyal people.
CONDITION OF THE BLACKS.
The speaker next proceeded to answer the
argument OF senator sherman concerning
Toe gr0vOus condition of the cOOrad race in
He south, claiming that they were now in the
Enjoyment Of greater prosperity ana greater
. m ID - ~
n gooe Boy an equal number Of their race. He
ls,ed the prosperity OF that section from
S'9, when the Democrats came In control
auu Radical rule and carpetbag government
leased. At the end OF ten years it can be
safely affirmed that there IS not an industry
H H iue SCUM DUl is more prosperous than u
eyer was in that region before, until now
'aey nave N many lines OF manufacture be-
come Tie r walls Of the mills in the eastern
N'sles. The speaker sketched briefly the
many enterprises in DEVELOPMENT in the
south the free schools for colored youth, the
v1ttnuncnJ which exists among the colored
people and the fact that they have not
migrated to any Of the old Tree States.
A PROOF OF FALLACY.
All bis. it was argued, proves that they
'tie noJ disconnected, nor murdered, nor de-
f'ta OF their rl9hts, as depicted by Senator
"a 2iermawand other Republican orators. The
ut9fe0 man seemed 20 prefer living with
AeA eouln, even though they he Democrats,
s'lae a the tents of The Radicals, even
