THE ROMAN IN OHIO
Judge Thurman and Speaker
Carlisle Hold Forth.
LORD sACKVILLE'S LETTER
The Speakers Give the Republican
Party Another Shaking Up-The
Chinese and the Tariff.

LIMA, O., October 26.-Judge Thur
man and Speaker Carlisle left Cincin,
natl for this place at 7.45 this morning
in the rain. People gathered at thu
depot in the various towns through
which the train passed. AT Troy anC
Wapakoneta brief stops were made, anC
short addresses in light. humorou:
vein made by Thurman and Carlisle
which were heartily cheered. The trair
was greeted in this city by crowd O.
several thousand, and the judge wa!
taken at once to dinner. In thell
speeches to-day Thurman and Carlisle
will both pay some attention to the
letter of the British minister and that
which elected it. They claim the Re
publican leaders
KNOW THEY ARE BEATEN
and are trying to distract the public
mind from the main issue of the CAM
paigu-Which is the tariff. 1t is theil
purpose to ridicule this move and hold
to the tariff.
After dinner the Judge was driven to
Mischal, where this afternoon meet
ing was held. 1t was packed to over
flowing, and the crowd gave an enthu-
siastic greeting to the speakers OF the
day. Judge Thurman said he would
not speak on the tariff question, as
Speaker Carlisle was to do that to- night.
Furthermore, they had been talking it
in the field and in Congress for many
months. and he thought the Demo-
cratic speakers
HAD VICTORY ON THEIR SIDE
and their opponents felt it to be so. II
they did not believe that the argument
of this question was on the Demo-
cratic side, why in the world did they
try and insert another issue to talk
about2 Why did they reject the fish
cries treaty and attempt to make out
that the President had not stood up in
a bold and manly manner for the
interests of the people? After review
ing the Senate on the treaty, the judge
said: They told the President in sub
stance, by refusing TO ratifV or amend
the treaty, that the time had come when
we must resort TO warllke measures
TO VINDICATE AMERICAN RIGHTS.
Well, the President took them at their
word. He sent in message to them
and said: "As you are in a fighting
mood" do not use his language, but 1
give the substance of it, las you won't
settle this matter peaceably, so there
NAV be no bloodshed, so that there
NAV be good will and peace between
us and the other nations Of the earth {;
as you insist that we shall re-
sort to power and to force, give
me the power of retaliation.
YOU SPEAK OF RETALIATION
you speak of wariike measures. you
speak of vindication of the rights OF
America by arms, give me the power to
what YOU declare is the true policy
of the United States" He sent that
message to Congress. Forthwith the
Democratic House of Representatives
passed a bill that gave to the President
all the power that could be asked for q
retaliation upon Canada and Great
Britain, and to get our rights if they
could be got by force. That bill passed
the House of Representative with not
q single dissenting Democratic vote. 1t
went to the Senate, and instead OF
passing it, they sent it to their COM
stsLEEPs THE SLEEP THAT KNOWS NO
WAKING"
Now I want to know what kind Of
spectacle that is presented by the
greatest Republican leaders in the land
on this subject of foreign affairs. They
won't make treaty, they won't back
out, and they won't fight. Now, when
they were we'll heated on that subject,
then came up the Chinese question.
The President had made another treaty
upon this question, and while they did
not dare to neglect it as they did the
fishery treaty. bv an amendment which
caused It's rejection by the Chinese gov
eminent, they hoped the President
would be deprived of the credit due
him. He thought, with other men in
the United States, and [ was one OF
them, l was ore of the first {.
them-for I mad expressed my opinions
fully 10 my fellow citizens in 1870 al
Cincinnati, sve years before the Cali
fornia legislature petitioned Congress!
upon the subject of Chinese immigra-
toni said then what l say to-day
that the heather Chinese is not wei
come, not useful person in the UniteC
States. (Great Cheering.) L had gone
though the Chinee quarters in SaI
Francisco; had seen HIM there in all
HIS RAGS AND ALL HIS FILTH;
I had been in joss house, which they
call temple; had seen what he called
religion, and, so help me God, although
I hope 1 am as charitable and as broad
minded towards men of all countries a!
anv man ought to be, l could no
say in my own conscience that this wa!
good man to bring into the United
States. (Applause). Very well, thu
Democratic House of Representative
was of that same opinion, and SO they
passed bill
TO EXCLUDE THE CHINESE
from settlement in this country. Tha
bill passe / the House of Representa-
tlves on the very day it was introduced
If my memory is not at fault, it went t.
tbs Senate. 1t remained there abou
six weeks, that was how long it too
