THURMAN G00DHUMOR
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE A
STRONG CAMPAIGN GARD.

the Democracy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Judge Thurman and
his party on Friday Travelled in the private
car of General Manager Spicer of the
Grand Trunk road, and it was understood
that they were the guests of the road. How
ever, before reaching South Bend, the
superintendent Of the road managed to get
orders to the conductor to collect fare from
the entire party. It was a disagreeable
task for him, but he obeyed orders, and
every member of the party, including
Judge Thurman himself, paid for his pas
sage with good solid cash.
oHIcAao's PARADE.
The parade in this city to-day began to
form some time before noon, although IL
o'clock was tie time set, and soon after
that hour it marched through the streets to
escort the judge and his party to the tram
on which they were taken to Chel-
tenham beach Prominent in the parade
were organizations of naturalized citizens
with notices, such as, 1--WE make citizens
legally" mo dynamite in ours" and other
expressions of their loyalty to their adopted
country. The travelling men and local DO
litical organizations, some organizations
from neighboring towns, bands and car
riages, made up the rest of the procession.
ENTHUSIASM ON THE CURBs.
Judge Thurman was greeted with great
enthusiasm by an immense crowd, that
filed the sidewalks along the line of march
At the beach a barbecue had been prepared,
at which ten beeves and twenty sheep were
served, beside carloads of other eatables and
drinkables. No expense had been spared to
make the day grand success.
10000 TO $4,000 PEOPLE PRESENT.
Cheltenham beach was crowded with
people, estimates of the number ranging
from 10000 to $4,000. A stand had been
erected in the middle of the big exposition
hall, and around that stand the eager
thousands crowded and jostled in vain
attempts at least to see the speaker.
On one side of the hall was big and
booming bar, just outside was a roller
coaster in active operation; three engines
industriously pulled and steamed short
distance away, and an energetic drum
corps lent it's aid in attempting to drown
out the speaker. The judge did his best.
AVOIDED THE MESSAGE.
He was in good voice and had fine
speech ready, but mortal man could not
make himself heard against the combined
opposition that greeted him. He went over
speech. the tariff being its principal subject,
although he handled 1t in "a different
manner Ii has been desired that he should
give some expression of his opii3on in re-
gard to the Presidents recent fishery mes
sage, but he shi ewdly remarked that at is
a poor lawyer who expresses an opinion
without having thoroughly reviewed the
case" He desired to obtain copies of the
original treaties, as well as other docu-
ments, but was unable to do so.
WHAT HE SAID.
His utterances upon the subject were
made at the beginning of his speech. He
said:
You have within the last few days heard not
a little about the message Of the President to
the congress of the United States thurrahs for
Cleveland] on the subject of the rejection of
the fisheries treaty, so-called Now, my friends,
allow me to say a word upon that subject
have no copy of the fisheries treaty in my pos
session here. l therefore cannot discuss it, for
l would not discuss it from mere recollection;
and have no copy Of the Presidents message
with ME down here, and therefore ! cannot
read or quote from il; but this want to say to
you; some years ago this country was greatly agi
tated by q party called the know nothing party.
DEsPIsED THE IRISH.
1t was a party to whom the Irishman was an
abominatiOn of denominations laughterl, and IL
he were a Catholic Irishman he was the
accursed of the earth 1--WE don't want It
again"l; but, now, strange to say, these men,
who who rdth,r0 few and years a5s ago were
of men of the Irish, Of the German, aud of all
foreign born people, but of Irishmen especially,
are seeking 70 court what is callei the Irish
vote, to get Irishmen to vote against men who
stood firm by them in the defense Of their rights
[''They can't do it'll In defense Of everything
that was alleged against them. [''They never
Wilt No, hope not.
NOW WANT THEIR VOTES.
Now they are seeking TO get their votes by
misrepresenting Grover Cleveland and asserting
that he il under British influence. But they
will never get it, My friends, there never was
more false assertion made by mortal man
than that Grover Cleveland Is under British in
fuence You might as well undertake to tell
me that Washington was under British infiu-
ence as that Grover Cleveland is. [Cheers.l II
any man thinks for moment that there is
anything in that charge worth investigating,
ali have to say to him is. read the Presidents
message sent to congress this very week. and
II you can then say that he Is under British
influence, you can say that white is black and
black is white. Cheers and great applause
KNOWS BIS ooUNTRY's INTERESTS.
No, my friends Grover Cleveland knows too
we'll what are the interests Of this country. He
has too much sympathy with the American peo-
pie, native and naturalized, to be under any
false or improper influence OF any country on
the face Of the globe, or under the influence
OF any country except that Of
his own. Now, having said thus
subject TO a future occasion, when take the
field somewhat at large, l come now to the
field that first mentioned. the tariff question,
and ask your attention to what have to saw
More interruptions from noise here occurred.
WILLING TO PAY PENSIONS.
Abiding to the treasury surplus, Judge
Thurman said:
SO far as II Is necessary to raise money 10
carry on the government, 20 pay the pensions Of
the gallant men who fought for It's pregerYa-
tion-so far as that is necessary, the people will
willingly pay the tax; but when you tax the
people for more than the government has any
occasion to demand, You simply are robbing the
people of money that belongs TO them, and up
propristing IL, either keeping 1t useless in the
treasury or expanding IL wastefully upon ob
jects not worthy Of your support. Why,
my friends, saw the other day,
in a paper somebody who was reviewing
n speech that had 10 make up here 40 Port
Huron in Michigan said that Judge Thurman
was wholly mistaken in saying tcat there would
be any such surplus revenue In the treasury
next year.
THROWING AWAY THE PEOPLES MONEY.
Well, wondered when saw that what could
possibly have become of IL, but havo seen an
explanation of IL since In New York paper, and
II means simply this-that there are schemes on
foot to make appropriations TO the amount
OF sixty, seventy, or eighty millions
OF dollars. for which there IN no necessity what
soever, and which a. Just throwing away that
much OF the peoples money. That's 30 Well
II they proceed IN that way.lf theyttace your
money 20 the amount OF Si,O0l00o,00o a year,
and then scatter IL broadcast TO fayorites for
their benefit, and not for the benefit Of the peo-
