Alarming NaEuIe.
NEW YORK, Sept. There was q big
crowd OF people around the Fifth Avenue
Hotel early last evening, waiting to see
Judge Thurman start Tor the meeting at
the Madison Square Garden. The Judge
stayed in his room sc'long that people be.
gan to wonder what was the matter. When
he finally appeared he seemed quite weak.
He leaned heavily upon Chairman
Barnum and his son. Allen w., and
trembled visibly. His, body seemed
to lean to the right, and his
right leg draggeda little, as If afflicted
with rheumatism4 He seemed too weak
or sick to make an effort to acknowledge
the vociferous cheering of the multitude.
He was quickly helped, into carriage
with Messrs. Brice; Barnum and Allen W.
Thurman, and the start for the garden
was made Carriages containing dis
tinguished Democrats followed. The short
trip to the garden was q triumphal tour,
the streets being lined with. applauding
crowds Is5 a., l. q -...-.
Madison Square Garden was filled to
overlooking within q few minutes after
the doors were opened last evening, and
thousands OF people, were turned away,
unable to obtain entrance.
Cappa's Band furnished music to enter
tain the crowd until g. O'Clock. when CAL
vim s. Brice and Roswell p. Flower ap-
peared, closely followed by Mr. Thurman,
surrounded by Governor Hill, Governor
Green, Hon. p A. Collins, Senator Kenna
and number OF other prominent members
OF the party. There was tremendous
outburst Of applause as Mr.. Thurman was
recognized. Colonel Brice called the meet
ing to order aud named Mr. Flower az
chairman, who introduced Judge Thurman.
There was an ovation lasting several min
utes, Judge Thurman standing silent
while the applause Numbered around him.
! When the vast auditorium, became quiet
again Judge Thurman said:
II was nominated by the St. Louis conven-
ton for the Office Of Vice-Pres dent of tie
United States: but, fellow-citizens,. Allen G..
Thurman is q poor, weak, broken-down man.
I have been quite unwell this afternoon and
am in no condition to speak to an immense
audience like this While speak to you I am
almost induced to make the effort but am
really too unwell"
At this point Judge Thurman showed
signs Of fa:ntness. The gentlemen nearest
him sprang to his aid and helped him to q
seat at the rear of the platform. where
restoratives were administered In few
moments he recovered sufficiently to. be
taken by members of the committee to his
carriage and back to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. He was accompanied by Messrs
Barnum and Brice and Allen W. Thurman
He was assisted to his room, where he
was attended by DR.. Goldthwaite, who
administered some medicine and said there
was nothing serious the matter, and that the
Judge would be all right in an hour It
seems that Judge Thurman had an at
tack of cholera morbus at 8 p. M, and
had been advised by the doctor not to ex-
ert himself by attending the meeting, but
the veteran st .tesman was anxious not to
disappoint his many friends, and insisted
on carrying out the programme laid down
for him. Chairman Barnum soon returned
to the meeting, but Mr.. Brice, the physi-
clan and Mr.. Thurman's son remained il
the room.
NEW YORK, Sept THE following haa
been issued:
Judge Thurman was perfectly well up to
$3.50 p. M to-day, when he complained OF some
nausea and pam in the bowels, soon after fol-
lowed by free vomiting and purg ng. having q
m Id attack Of cholera morbus. Against the
advice Of his son, Mr.. Allen w. Thurman, he
would attend the meeting at Madison Square
before he had recovered from the effects of the
attack. This effort caused some return OF
nausea and prostration. At 1870 p. m. he is
sleeping quietly, with good pulse and no bad
effects from the attack.
