Therefore. l say to you, uphold your

The remainder of his speech was
devoted to the tariff question, covering
much the same ground he has gone
over in his other speeches during his
trip through Indiana.
In concluding it he said: "Should
this surplus of taxation be removed
and the 800, ,000, 900 which il needlessly
brings into the United States treasury
annually, where It lies as idle as the

STILL EAGER FOR THE FRAY.
Judge Thurman spoke thirty-one
minutes and was closely listened to by
the audience. He spoke In a strong,
clear tone and seemed fully able TO
keep going for some time longer with
out especial fatigue. Afterwards Gov.
Gray spoke at some lenghth from the
same platform aud was followed by
Col. Matson, the democratic candidate
for governor.
While the Judge was awaiting the
departure of the train from the depot,
he was waited on by the Normal Club
of Depauw University, who carried on
a lively conversation with the Judge
through an open window. The Thur
man party LETT late in the afternoon and
will go direct to Columbus, o.
This meeting at Brazil is the conclu.
sion of Judge Thurman's Indiana cam.
paign, and he feels very well pleased,
both with his reception by the people
and with the outlook for his party at
the coming election. At first, not
wishing to overtax his strength, he
promised to make two or three speeches
during the week in this state. The
state committee announced fourspeeches
and afterward prevailed on him to
make fifth. The shortest of these
speeches was twenty minutes and was
delivered in the open air in the rain.
Until to-day, when ii was clear and
cool, the weather had been extremely
but mud and rain had no
terrors for him and he exposed himself
to the elements whenever the people
wished it. Beside his longer speeches
he delivered number of short talks
by the way aud received aud shook
hands with thoutand of people. Not
wlthstanding all this, he returns home
comparatively fresh aud in good condi-
tion for such other campaigning as he
has promised to attend to. His views
OF the outcome of the election have
been given to the press, aud
his week in Indiana simply emphasizes
that opinion. Gov. Gray acted as
escort all over the the state, and to him,
for his attention and able speeches, the
Judge is especially thankful,
Gov. Gray says that the democrats
will carry Indiana, and his opinion Is
based OH careful canvass of the state.
The Thurman special stopped for a
few minutes at Greencastle, and was
at once surrounded by a large crowd,
many of whom had just come from a
republican meeting up town. Cries
for Harrison and Cleveland were pretty
we'll balanced, but all applauded Judge
Thurman when he appeared in response
to their calls, and said: "If anybody
thinks he can hurt my feelings by
hurrahing for Gen. Harrisod he is very
much mistaken, | want everybody to
hurrah for the man for whom he intends
to vote. intend to vote for Cleveland
myself, and | want my friends, those
who want to vote for Harrison, to hur-
rah for him. [Applause and cries OF
"Good old Thurman."] But 1 want
every man who is for Grover Cleveland
to vote for him. In other words, 1
want every man to do his own thinking
and his own voting" Great applause
and cheers for Thurman and hurrah
for Harrison
The train reached Indianapolis
promptly on time, aud after leaving off
Gov Gray and the local newspaper

the Judge. continued on its way with ,
the Judge, his son, Allen w. Thurman,
his friend, DR.. Schwartz, Col. w. A.
