Very well, it passed, however; they
could not resist it, and it went to the
President, who signed the bill, and so
his enemies were again foiled in their
attempt to destroy him in the estima-
ton of the American people. Then,
my friends, having failed in their dis
cussion of the tariffs, having failed in
the row they raised about the fisheries
having failed in
THEIR ATTEMPT TO DESTROY CLEVELAND
with their opposition to the Chinese ex-
clusion bill in the last days of the can
vass, some of the mean men of that
party have all at once discovered another
mares nest" which they think will
hatch an offspring that may destroy
the Democratic Party. Judge Thur :
man then referred to the correspond
ence between
MURCHIsoN AND LORD sACKvILLE WEST
and said: "Whether it is forgery CT
not, l don't know, but this have 10
say, that be it forgery or be it a genu-
inc letter, be it letter written by Muir
Gibson or be it a letter written by some
cunning Republican partisan to which
Murchison has lent his name, be it one
or other, it is the production of a de-
liberate william, who deserves to be
sCoRNED BY HONEST MEN.
(Great applause). Why do say this
Ny friends, when you come to look at
the letter itself, you see it was never
written by man who for one moment
/ thought of voting for Grover Cleveland.
On the contrary, it is written by some
skilful, cunning Republican politician,
who thought to entrap the British
minister, and get from him some reply
that could be used against Mr.. Cleve-
land in the Presidential election; so
that when that man protested to be
friendly to Cleveland and only seeking
ont knowledge he
WAS LYING WITH EVERY BREATH
that he uttered, with every word that
he wrote. (Applause). When he said
that the answer of the British minister
should be kept a profound secret, he
was lying, for he never intended it
should be kept a secret, if he were
fortunate to get one, unless that letter
should disappoint his hopes. Now, my
friends, If that man intended to be, or
was what he said, how does it come that
that
LETTER TO THE BRITISH MINISTER,
which was marked "private," and
letter of the British minister to him,
which he schemingly pledged his honor
should never see light, how comes it
that those letters are IN public print to-
day2 But that is not all. Just look at
it. This Murchison processes to have
written on the 4th of September last,
and the British minister's answer pro-
tesses to be written on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, and yet for more than one
month, yes considerably more than
one month, no man ever heard one
word of there being such correspon-
dence, except the men
WHO ARE IN THE CONSPIRACY.
Last week there was to be a great
meeting, as 1t was called, of Irishmen,
although do not think that very many
honest, thoroughbred Irishmen were in
the gang. daughter and applause }
But it was announced that there was to
be such meeting as that at Maids IN
Square, in the city of New York, and
James q. Blaine was to address that
meeting, and accordingly a meeting
was held last night. Then for the first
time the terrible correspondence came
out which is to prove that the sworn
President Of the United States, the
sworn Secretary of State, the sworn
Cabinet of the President
WERE ALL SET OF coNsPERAToRs
against the people of the United States.
1t comes out then just on the eve of
Blaine's meeting, the Irish meeting in
New York City, and among the first
things that Blaine does is to hold up his
hands in horror over this theme. Why
was it this correspondence did not come
to light sooner? Why is it that it was
kept back until we hear of MIR. Blaine's
Irish meeting and is then brought
forth to prejudice the American peo-
pie against the honest. upright, faith
full and patriotic President and Secre-
tary of State. Now, my friends, l am
not going 10 say any more about that,
because if were to say more, it would
only look as if L thought there was
something in that correspondence that
was terribly damaging to the ad-
miniStration. | do not think so at all.
No, my friends, as 1 said before, this
is simply another bungling scheme.

At the conclusion of the Judges adj

and spoke for some time about the posi-
ton of the respective parties On the
question of reducing the surplus and
the question of the tariff and the fishery
treaty. He also touched On the Muir
Gibson affair, treating it as q Repub
