after the departure Of Rev. Henry ID.
Lindsay for his new feli Mr. Camps
sermons were much liked by the members
Of the congregation and ne made a good
impression. At congregational meeting
held on July II. TO consider
the matter Of calling pastor.
a majority Of the congregation concluded
that they wished to hear other candidates
before making call Through this ac-
tion Mr.. Camp missed call to the First

the Presbyterian Church az Delaware
City. This call was declined. as Mr..
Camp desired to go TO a larger church.
Previous to his trip to Palestine. he was
pastor of churches in Cincinnati. O., and
Lexington, Ky. His pasiorates at these
churches were successful Those who
met Mr.. Camp in this city think that he

THURMAN ON HIS TRIP.
He Addresses the Enthusiastic Demo
Gratis on the Route.


TOLEDO, Ohio, August s1.-Judge
Thurman who came here last night ad
dressed large and enthusiastic crowd at
Delaware while the train was stopping
L. + Popleton and committee boarded
the train and brought the Judge to the
platform. when as soon as the cheers
had subsidized, he spoke as follows, having
been introduced by Mr. Popleton.
IF Mr.. Popleton had the making of
the next Vice President of the United
States have no doubt but would be the
man daughter and applause): but there
are great many other people that have
a word to say upon that subject l can
tell you this, my friends. that if you
want this old fellow to be your next Vice
President you must go to work. Applause
and cries of "Well do it, n Now, you
know | haven't time to make speech,
and it is only owing to the pOliteness of
the conductor Of the train that | am per-
mitted to say few words
For two, or three or four minutes is as
long as the train will remain, as as | have
so little time | cannot do better than to
cOnfne myself to a single idea. You
have heard a great deal about the tariff
that is the great subject upon which
speeches are now made | have heard in
a long political experience, great many
attempts to humbug the people, but Of
all the attempts that ever
have seen or heard. the pretension
that a high protective tariff is for
the benefit OF the laboring man, is
the great humbug. Applause. What is
a tariff? It is a tax; tax levied by the
general government upon the commodi-
ties that the laboring man. as well as
other men, uses. 1t is n tax that takes a
hold Of everything from the crown Of
your head to the soles of your feet that
taxes your hat, your coat, your
breeches, your boots, your shoes. that
taxes every implement which you use in
your mechanical and agricultural opera
tions
And now to tell me that to take labor
ing man and taN him from the top of his
head to the solcs Of his feet to tax him On
everything that he uses in his trade and
to tax him heavily is a benefit to him.
seems to me to be nothing else than alb
surdity Applause. Here the brakeman
stepped to the side of the speaker and
motioned for the train to proceed. Do
you see this man he is making motions
not for me to 60 ahead (laughter,) but for
the train to go ahead so | will have to
thank you for this manifestation of your
regard and bid You goodbye. [Applause
