of the Republicans in 1884. He then
spoke in terms Of highest praise of Presi'

"Finding the progress the President
was making in the affections OF the
American people," continued the
speaker, "his political opponents sought
to get him in trap after trap and destroy
his popularity. First they attacked hin

made treaty with England that secured

Judge Thurman-Well, that is ques

not make up my mind whether tn
British Minister was more rascal or NOR

he acted the fool, for he answered tn
