iaborlng men they ase the enemifa
OF labor, then they are their own
enemies, and to say Of the Democratic
Party that it is the enemy of the labor
Ing men, is to say to that party, You
are set of idiots ~ The party that pro-
duced Jefferson. and Madison, and
Monroe, and Andrew Jackson, and
Groyer Cleveland (grest cheering and
voices, "and Thurman. and Thurman"
to say nothing of other men, is by no
means an ldiot:c party. In conclusion,
he said, II think tnat on the sixth day
OF next month, God willing. we will
teach them a lesson that will
make them cease to talk about
the Democratic Party being its own
worst enemy" (Great cheering) At
the conclusion of Judge Thurman's
speech, President James Allison read
the following message from Washing
ton:
very much regret that Mrs Cleveland
and myself must deny Ourselves>the plea
sure OF being present at the exposition on
Democratic Day, and we can only say that
our disappointment is greater than that OF
those who have kindly invited US.
GS1gned,) GROVER CLEVELAND.
Speaker Carlisle followed dge Thur
man. He agreed with Judge Thurman
in his remarks concerning the connec-
ton of the laboring men to the Demo-
cratic Party, saying there is no part ofthe
people of the United States who are so
much indebted to the Democratic Party
and Democratic principles for their
prosperity and growth as a people of
the great northwest. To ityou owe the
vast territory which you Inherit. to
it you owe your religious liberty, which
was established fer all time in the north
west by the ordinance of '82; to it, you
owe the exemption in that ordinance
from the institution of slavery. Passing
to matters of the tariff, the speaker
said: The Republican argument is
that if the productions of foreign labor
are admitted into this country free of
duty, or with low rate of duty. the
wages OF the laborlng man must be equal
lied. believe the reduction of taxes up
on the necessities of life would not only
be OF infinite advantage 10 the laboring
man but TO all the people of this
country, thus enabling our manufac-
world; but l do not belief by so dong
it will reduce the wages paid to the
laboring man in this country. If this
cess to all the best markets of the
world. and England will cease to be
protected by the laws of the United
States. 1 am in favor of reduction
Of taxes, not only to relieve the laboring
man, but also because it is absolutely
necessary to reduce the surplus revenue
of government" Carlisle read from
Blaine's Chicago speech, in relation
to the surplus, claiming that Blaine had
the facts in relation to the
action of the present Congress in ref
erence thereto. He concluded with
highly eulogistic reference to President
Cleveland and Judge Thurman. To
General Harrison he referred as very
respectable lawyer out here at Indian
apolis, and to Hon. L. P. Morton as
very rich banker of Wall Street. The
children who had represented the diff
ferent States, presented Judge Thur
man with beautiful floral tribute. A
Dayton man, who said he voted for
Blaine four years ago, but would this
year vote for Cleveland, presented q
steel horseshoe as an emblem of good
