Nothing could be more ungracious,
Blaine's attack on Allen G.. Thurman.
He can have been moved to it by no other
consideration than the desire to sustain
his own reputation for audacity He
WAS kind enough to attempt to patroniZe
the grand old Roman after this fashion:
However aminble man he may be.
and however able he may be-the more
amiahle and the more able. the worse will
be his influence against the true interests
of the American people.
Mr.. Thurman's influence has been as
uniformly exercised on behalf of the true
interests of the American people as that
of James G Blaine has been eXerted
against them and on behalf of other in
terests that he has long served
We owe to Mr.. Thurman two of the

Blackburn, Congressman Mills, and Phil
Thompson, secretary of the national Demo
cratic executive committee, arrived in this
city Saturday morning. Large numbers of
people came to hearMilIs tariff speech
Mills said that the labor question was the
paramount issue of the campaign, and that
the Democratic party was the peoples friend
He condemned the Republican party for tax
ing the burden of taxation from wealth, and
putting it upon the shoulders of labor.
With reference to the wool tariff he said
take off the tariff and the manufacture of
wool in this country will be- largely In
creased, and an increase will demand labor
which is the great producer and the founda-
ton of wealth The prosperity Of the country
Is based upon the prosperity Of the majority
of its people, and the Democratic party be
lieves in giving the lHhorrr the benefit Of his
work and not in giving it to the monOpolist
at the expense of the man who earns il. 1t
is absolutely necessary that the producer
reach the consumer
He asked how ton Of coal costing 81 in
England could he sent across the water, all
| costs of transportation being paid, and then
he sold on this side for less money than "a ton
of coal here costing only 50 cents per toni

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug 20 Saturday
the commercial travellers of Bloomington,
Peoria and Danville, Ill, came to the city to
visit Gen. Harrison. They formed one of
the finest bodies of men that has yet visited
the city They were Joined here by delega
ton of commercial men from LAFAYETTE and
one from 1erre Haute, all the visitors being
received nv the indianapolis Commercial
Travellers association and entertained dur
ing their stay. The Peoria men wore linen
uisters and silk hats, and each carried an at
tractivi little red, white and blue umbrella.
The Bloomington men carried umbrellas of
different culOrs and somewhat larger than
those horne by the Peoria visitors. They
also had strapped over their shoulders a
small grip, the emblem Of their profession
In the two delegations there were about 45O,
SO that they presented a very noticeable
sight marching up from the station
The day was spent as the visitors thought
best, until o'clock, when they marched to
Gen. Harrison's house There a great crowd
awaited them, and as the general appeared
at his door his reception was tremendous. j.
c. Starr of Peoria, ard Congressman Row
ell, of Bloomington, made the Introductory

mis- happiest vein His illusions to the calling
OF his visitors drew forth immense applause.
