Thurman'S Dates.

COLUMBUS, August 3l.--Judge Thurman
expected to make dates of his New York
meetings for some time during the latter
part of September, but he has been prevailed
upon to yield to the desire of the national
committee and will leave for New York on
September 5-next Wednesday. On the even
ing of the 9th he will be present at demo-
cratic meeting to be held in Madison square, at
which he will be the principal speaker This
meeting will be under the direction of the
national committee, and efforts are making to
have an immense rally of democratic hosts,
the gathering to surpass any OF the political
demonstrations of the year. The party will
leave New York on the return trip September
Z and arrive at Columbus on the Saturday or
Sunday following, so that Thurman can be in
Columbus during the week Of the national
encampment of the Grand Army. Already
Judge Thurman has received large number
that they will call to pay their respects dur
ing the week, and this fact no doubt
has much to do with his brief
stay in the east at this time Judge
Thurman, not leaving here until Wednesday,
will be able to be present at the opening of
the centennial exposition on Tuesday next.
The intention is to arrange the trip in such
way as to avoid the crowds as much as posi-
BILE, but the judge will hardly be able to keep
from making several speeches along the
road. Inc uctallS Tor the journey nave not
yet been completed, the route not having
been decided upon, nor is it known who will
accompany the Judge.
Chairman Charles l.. Jewett, of the demo-
cratic state executive committee of Indiana,
called on Judge Thurman last night with a
view to securing some definite information
as to the latter's proposed trip through In
diana, but there will be nothing definite as to
the date decided upon until after the trip to
New York. A delegation from indianapolis
