the Jackson club, the delegation
marched from the depot to the residence
OF Judge Thurman, where Hon. L. E.
Powell spoke briefly of the work of the
delegation at ST. Louis, and then intro
duced Judge Thurman. After three
cheers for Cleveland and Thurman and
the red bandana, Judge Thurman
spoke as follows:
Il understand that many good people
say, and no doubt think, L do not deny
the justice Of their thoughts, that / am
too old to run for vice president. Those
people who say so, and who doubtless
think so, do not understand the effect
upon an old Democrat of such kindness
as received at your hands and at the
hands of the rest of the Democracy of
the United States. Why, l feel about
ten years younger at the least calcula-
ton. Laughter and renewed cheering;
voice: L dare say twenty.'l Last
night L stood here to speak to my fellow
citizens. who came out to greet me, and
upon my word, expecting tospeak about
five minutes, find spoke twenty min
utes in full voice and with immense
ferver and vigor. And | should not be
surprised if | should make such fool
of myself between now and the second
Tuesday, or the first Tuesday, or what
ever Tuesday it is in October, NOYem-
Der L mean, that | should
BE PRANCING AROUND
making speeches like young man lust
out OF teens. But now, gentlemen, let
me be serious little. You know, gen
tlemen of the Ohio delegation, that
when you were kind enough to call on
me before you went to st. Louis | told
you, and God knows it was the honest
truth, that | did not want the nominal
ton; that what | wanted was peace and
quiet, but that it was impossible for me
to say that l would not refuse a nOmi-
nation, for that would make me candi-
date at once and therefore, surrounded
with these difficulties, could conceive
of no other way, no other solution than
to place myself in your hands, and l did
so freely, honestly, fairly, Loyalty, trust
Ing that you would take care of my
honor as we'll as the interests of the
Democratic party. Now, gentlemen. |
do not undertake to speak for the party
and say whether you have done wisely
or not, but | speak for myself, and say
that you have done fairly and hOnorably
and uprightly by me, and that as long
as live l shall always bear towards
you grateful heart and pleasant
recollection. [AppIausel. Gentlemen. l
thank you for your efforts; / thank you
for what you have done, and whether L
shall be successful or not successful,
cannot be deprived, and that
is the qualification of knowing
that | have the good will of the people
of my state, and not only of the people
| of Ohio, but of the people. l think, of
the United States. Continued APP
plause.l Now, gentlemen, l do not
think | ought to say anything more for
fear, as my friend Lowenstein would
say, that | would paralyZe you. IGreat
| laughter. L do not want to do that. l
hope that every man Of you, since you
work and work for the ticket. But |
have another word to say before l stop,
and that is this: There scarcely ever
happened in the history of this world a
! sublimer spectacle than the renomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland by the unani-
nous voice of the convention, TGreat
applausel, and now / say you did wise
thing in that, a patriotic thing in that.
The people of the United States love

knows he is an honest man; they love a
man OF good, sound judgment. and do
not know of any man of Sounder judg-
ment than his; they love a man who
stands up for the people. who stands up
| for principle and does not fear to take
the consequence, and such a man is
Grover Cleveland. Gentlemen. it will
be an honor to every man of that st.
Louis convention as long as he lives
that he was there to cast his vote for
this worthy president of the United
States. Now thank you, and will bid
| you good night" Great applausel.
A GRAND DEMONSTRATION.
Special to the Globe
CoEUMBUs, o., June S.-A grand
demonstration occurred here this even
ing. About o'clock the Tammany
club and the Licking club of Newark,
o., with other Newark citizens. num-
bering in all about 400 Democrats, ar
rived in the city. They were met by
delegations from the local clubs and
were at once taken to the residence of
Judge Thurman. The distinguished
Democrats soon appeared and were
greeted with cheers. After the meet
ing was called to order by
Albert White and short speeches
were made by E. NJ. p. Brister. presi-
dent. and r. Il. Jones, vice president of
the Licking club, and others, the old
Roman stepped to the front. Aft
er receiving so many visitors
and talking so much, it was
not thought that his remarks would be
lengthy, but he made the longest speech
he has middle since the convention, and
was in far better voice than on the pre-
ceding evening. He said: Gentlemen
of the Licking county clubs, have not
words sufficient to express to you my
sense of gratitude for the honor YOU
have paid me tonight. You have left
your homes and come here and said
kind things that have inspired and in
yigorated me. 1t is enough to add ten
years to the life of an ordinary man. 1
thank you most profoundly for this
mark of esteem. 1t shows that your
hearts are
IN THE RIGHT PLACE,
and that you mean to stand by the Dem-
ocratic doctrine and maintain Demo-
cratic principles with all your powerful
ability" Mr.. Thurman thanked the
people of Columbus who were escort
ing the visiting clubs, and said
that those who said he was too
old to run for Office would find that
he could talk yet, at least. He felt like
making an old-fashioned speech, but it
was not yet time for it. He entreated
them to make an earnest fight, and Ohio
would be at least doubtful
state. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson, and he thought
Pierce, had received Ohio's
electoral vote. Four years of Demo-
cratic rule had proved the predictions of
calamities that would follow Demo-
cratic accession untrue, and left the
nation more prosperous than ever be-
fore.
