Mr. Carlisle then read from Blaine's
Chicago speech in relation to the surplus,
claiming that Mr. Blaine had misstated tho
facts in relation to the action Of the pres
ent Congress In reference to the surplus.
He then reviewed the action taken by tho
Democratic party in relation to the
surplus revenue, and appealed to the
audience to know IL he had not
stated both facts and law correctly. He
said that Mr.. Blaine, In his Goshen speech,
had gone out Of his way TO make an attack
on him, and that he intended to reply to
him at length on Indiana soil shortly. He
concluded by referring to the candidates
in the field. To President Cleveland he re-
ferred as the grand representative of Dem
ocratic principles; to Thurman as man
whose very presence Is an inspiration to
the Democracy Of the land; to General
Harrison as very respectable lawyer out
here at Indianapolis, and L. r. Morton -
q very rich banker Of Wall street.
Before Judge Thurman left the hall, and
while Mr. Carlisle was speaking, the chill
dren who had represented the States came
forward and presented him with beauti-
full floral tribute A Dayton man. who
said he voted for Blaine four years ago,
but would this year vote for Cleveland.

LIMA, o., Oct. 27.-Judge Thurman ar
rived here at lis o'clock p. m, Friday,
from Cincinnati. There were crowds to
meet him at all stations along the route.
He addressed the people briefly at Miamis-
burg, Dayton, Sidney, Anna and Wapako-
meta. When the train reached tn . city
loud and enthusiastic cheers arose from
the throats Of the thousands gathered at
the depot, and the venerable candidate was
escorted to the Music Hall amid the Wild
est enthusiasm Three thousand people
secured entrance to the hall. Judge Thur
man spoke at some length in eulogy OF
President Cleveland. Referring to the
Democratic party. he said:
"Isay II never can die; NOT 50 long as free
institutions remain, not 50 long - We have .
country Of liberty and freedom. not 20 long rs
the people are equal before the law, every man
TO every other man. Nor 50 long as the people
do their own thinking and their own voting can
the Democratic party de- prolonged cheers
and shouts.
Mr. Thurman said that he would not
elaborate on the tariff question in his re-
marks, but would leave that to Speaker
Carlisle, q perfect expert on that subject.
He then spoke Of the action of the Senate
on the tariff bill and fishery treaty and
said the Chinese Exclusion act, which was
passed by the House the same day it was
introduced, remained in the Senate six
weeks before that body could find out
whether or not they should become .
mongrel country-half white and half
heather Chinese" IGreat cheers
He then referred to the latest political
sensation, the West-Murchison CORE
spondence, as new dodge to destroy Mr..
Cleveland and the Democratic party in the
estimation Of the people The speaker con-
tinued:
Having failed in their discussion OF the
tarifY: having failed In the row they raised
tempt to destroy Cleveland with their oppos,.
tion to the Chinese Exclusion bill, these men In
the last days Of the canvass, In the going down
Of the sun over this political year, these men
may, when I say these men do not UNDER
stand me as alludng TO any Senator Of tho
United States Of any political party, or to any
man OF distinction and character In that party,
for should be ashamed OF my country II
could make such an imputation upon such .
man-but the mean men, or some Of the mean
mon, OF that party have all at once
discovered another mares nest merri-

they want to get rid OF . discussion OF tho
fisheries; they want 70 get rid OF
the Chinese question. and SO they
have started new dodge: invented a new
scheme, which you may have seen in tho
Cincinnati papers Of to- day. They pretend that
an Englishman BY the name OF Murchison, liy-
ing at some place In California that never
heard Of until saw it, name In these papers,
wrote letter TO the British Minister at
Washington TO inquire OF him whether
the naturalized Engiishman in California
ought to vote for Cleveland or vote for
Harrison and that the British Minister made
him reply, and this letter, which it Is alleged
Mr.. Murchison wrote, O0ils over with mean In.
situations against Cleveland and the Demo.
cratic party as II they were the hirelings Of
Great Britain, and boils over with fulsome
praise OF Harrison as II he was the incarnation
| Of American patriotism. Laughter and ap-
plause.
liam not at all satisfied that this man called
Mr.. Murchison ever wrote such letter, or that
the British Minister ever replied to 1t as IL Ia
presented. should say that this letter Of the
| so-called Mr.. Murchison bore on its face
such evident marks OF . downright for.
fery-shameless forgery-that ! might be
| at liberty to At once denounce IL
as forgery, and then to say no more about it.
Prolonged applause and checrs.l Whether il
| Is forgery or not, do not know, but this
much have to say: BE II . forgery or be IL q
genuine letter: be II . letter written by Murchi.

Republican partisan to whom this man
Murchison has loaned his name; be Il
the one or the other, It 10 the pr0duc.
! tion or deliberate violation OF secrecy that de.
serves TO be scOrned by all honest men.
When you come TO look 1t the letter itself you
can see that II never was written by o man v ho
for one moment thought OF voting for Grover
Cleveland. On the contrary It was written by
sOmo skillful, cunning Republican politician
who thought he could draw the British
Minister into Q snare. and draw from him some
reply that could be used against Mr.. Cleveland
| In the Presidential election. When that man
professed to be friendly to Mr.. Cleveland he
| was lying In every breath that he uttered. in
every word that he wrote. ICheers and
tho answer OF the British Minister
should be kept profound secret no was lying,
| for he never intended that 1t should be kept 4
secret. My friends, II that man intended "a
be, or was what he said, how does IL come tha,
that letter Of his to the British Minister and
| the reply are in the public press to-day. This
letter from Murchison was sent TO the British
Minister and written on September last. and
the minister's answer processes to be written
| on September Is. Yet for moro than one
month-yes, considerably more than one
| month-no man ever heard word OF there
| being any such correspondence save the
men who were In the conspiracy; no man kncw
any thing about II. But here last week there
was to be great meeting rs it WAS called, %
Irish meeting, although do not think many
thoroughbred Irtshmen were in the gang.
lChcers.l But 1t Was announced that there
was to be meeting IT Madison Square in the
city Of New York, and that Mr.. James q.
Blaine Was to address It. Accordingly the
meeting was held Thursday night and then,
for the first time, comes out this terrible cor.
respondence which Is to prove that the sworn
President Of the United States and the sworn
Secretary OF State. or sworn Cabinet were
all set OF consptrators against the people oi
the United States. II comes out just then on
the evening OF Blaines Irish meeting In the
city Of New York, and among the first things
that Blaine does is to hold up his
hands in horror. Why was 1t that this
plot did not come to light aooners Whv was il
