JUDGE THURMAN'S trip was one of
continued ovations from enthusiastic
crowds, who turned out to greet and
welcome the grand old man. His re
ception is significant, as denoting the
popular pulse IA beating in sympathy
with positive rather than in negative
sympa'hy with radical reform, as in.
augurated by Grover Cleveland. Judge
Thurmau hes nothing of the demsgog
in his composition, and his logical
reasoning ON the vital questiOn-tariff
lin this campaign, is given addition
al weight thereby. We shall hear less
of "the old man in his dotage," in the
monopoly sycophants' allusion to the
old Roman, and witness the whitening
influence of truth as expounded by
him, in the camp of the Philistines,
whose leaders would fatten upon the
spoils of Office, at the expense of the
producers and honest toilers In both
mental and physical vigor, the Judge
is vastly superior to the,pigmies whose
eyes are blinded by sectional prejudice
aud whose souls feast on error, OBJ
livious to the sanctity of everything
pertaining TO the rights of the common
people, when in conflict with their
utterly selfish schemes of aggrandize
ment.
