This man writes to tic British minister
I. that he is a natUraliZed Englishman in
California: that lie is inclined 10 vote
for Cleveland. but he doesn't know eX-
actly whether Cleveland Is honest in
his free trade doctrines, or whether he

Tie fisheries. lie wants TO know
before he vOtes-from the British
minister whether he thinks Cleveland
IS q safe man-Hot for America, but for
tie British. ICriCs Of YES, sir; yes"
lie tells him that that letter is written
in the most private cOniidence-tlat no
body is TO see il but himself; but when
he gets the information sought for he
can advise his fellow Englishmen in
California who have been naturaliZed
how they can safely vote. And
he pledges also that t Ire minister's
letter Sh: "i! also be kept an
liz i0lablt secret. Now, nay friends,
when you come 10 look at the letter it
self YOU can see that il never was written
by man VINO for one moment thought
OF voting for Grover Cleveland. On the
contrary il was written by some skillfui
las he thought he Wasl by some
CUNNING, RE- BIICAN POLITICIAN
who thought he could draw the British
minister into snare. and draw from
him some reply that could be used
against Mr.. Cleveland in the presi-
DENTAL election. When that man pro-
fesscd 10 be friendly TO Mr.. Cleveland
he was lying in every breath that he
uttered, in every word that he wrote.
ltheerS and applause. When lie stated
that The answer Of the British minister
should be kept prOfOUnd secret he
was lying. for he never intended
that it should be kept a secret.
My friends. if that man intended to be,
or was what lie said, how does it come
that the letter Of his TO the British min
mister and the reply were in the public
press to-day? This letter from Murch-
iSOn was sent TO the British minister
and written on the 4th day of Sep
TENDER last, and the minister's answer
Processes TO be written on the 18th day
OF September. Vet for more than one
month no man ever heard a word of there
being any correspondence save the men
who We're in the conspiracy: no
man knew anything about it. But here
last week there was to be great meet
ing as il was called, an Irish meeting,
although [ do not think many thorough
bred Irishmen were in the gang
lCheerS. But it was announced that
there was to be meet ng at Madison
square in the city of New York, and
that James &. Blaine was TO address il.
Accordingly the meeting was held last
night, and then, for the first time, comes
out this terrible correspondence which
Is 10 prove that the SWORN president of
the United States, and the sworn Secre-
tary of state, or sworn cabinet. were all
\ SET OF CONSPIRAToRS
against the people OF the United States.
1t came out just then, OH the evening of
Blaine'S meeting, Irish meeting, in the
city of New York, and among the first
things that Blaine does is to hold up his
hands in horror Why was it that this
plot did not come TO light sooner? Why
was it that it was kept back until the
eve of Mr.. Blainc'S Irish meeting in
New York and then brought forth to
prejudice the American people against
their honest, upright. faithful and patri-
tic president and secretary of state.
Cheers and applause. Now, my friends,
| am not going 10 say more about that,
because il | were to say more it would
only look as il L thought there was
something in that correspondence
that was terrible for the Dem
ccratic administration, and / do
not think so at all" When Judge Thur
man finished his speech the whole audi
encc gave three tremendous cheers for
him and three more for the ''bandana."
Mr.. Thurman then introduced Mr..
Carlisle, who addressed the audience
briefly, saying that he would speak in
the evening. He confined his remarks
10 the tariff issue and criticism of the
MurchiSOn letter. Mr.. Thurman left at
> O'Clock on special train for his home
at Columbus. His remaining appoint
memts are at Wheeling, ". Va, Oct 80:
Newark, O.. Oct. 81. and NelsOnville. o.,

light procession was given, after which
Speaker Carlisle spoke in Music hall.
The hall was packed to SutlocatiOn.
