few minutes after the doors opened this eve
ming, and thousands Of people were turned
away. The interior was handsomely dec
grated with flags. Nearly all the leading
Democrats of New York and vicinity, with
large numbers from other sections were
present. Col. Brice called the meeting to
order and introduced Roswell P. Flower as
presiding officer. Mr.. Flower spoke. for some
time on the tariff question, and then intro
duced Mr.. Thurman, who was received with
the widest enthusiasm, lasting fully five
minutes. AT its close, in voice so feeble
that only those near him could hear, he
said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t
has been said by Republican papers since |
was nominated for the Vice Presidency, that
Allen u. Thurman is an old, frail, decrepid
ana broken down man. l do not know what
L should reply to this, although l we'll know
that am In no condition tonight to speak to
pan Immense audience such as this. How
ever, want to speak, and in spite of illness
am.almost induced to make the attempt. l
beg leave, however, to withdraw, and thank
you for your kind reception"
a nush fell upon the assemblage as all saw
that the hero of the evening was trying to
speak to them, but was unable to do so. Col.
Brice and Mr.. Flowers stepped forward, and
each taking Judge Thurman by an arm as
sisted him back from the speakers stand.
He was almost fainting, and for a few min
uteS was too sick to be removed from the
building. When he had recovered sufficient
~ he was led to carriage and driven back
to the hotel. Gov. Hill then spoke
Judge Thurman 'slsickness did not prove
serious and the physicians do not think it
Will prevent his going on with his campaign
which may have been caused by the rapid
motion of the train on which the party
travelled.
