Thurman to HIS colored vlsItors.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 20.-Judge Thurman
received today delegation Of colored DEM
ocrats, who. through w. IL. Furbush, of Ar
kansas, presented an address expressing
their thankfulness for fayors from the Dem
ocratic party. and their belief In the division
Of the colored vote as for their best interest,
and stating a firm belief In the election Of
Cleveland and Thurman.
Judge Thurman greeted them warmly. He
said that he knew very well that he had
been described, and was still described as
the enemy OF the col0red people. Never
was charge more untrue. His grandfather
had liberated all his slaves whom no moved
TO Ohio, and his father. his mother, and he.
himself, had never owned slave. In his
youth, he had for a companion young col
Ored boy, to whom he was devotedly attach
ed. Judge Thurman then said: "It
Is true that in 1867, before suffrage for
your people had been adopted, when the
question was In Ohio, and Ohio alone
whether the word white should be struck
from the constitution, l. together with a
large majority, voted against striking IL out.
The reasons were plainly stated and honest
ly maintained. II was not right for Ohio 10
take such action when nearly all the other
States stood otherwise. That reason urg-
ed against such action, but from the moment
the amendment TO the Federal constitution
was adopted which gave suffrage TO the col
Ored people. from that moment they became
citizens, and no man can say l ever treated
them otherwise than as citizens. Applause.l

justice to the colored people than Grover
Cleveland and. II reelected, he will continue
to do justice to them. koow him well. In
his intellect, In his heart, In his soul, he Is
just and upright man. When he says any
thing he means it and, when he has said It,
he stands by it."
The Judge said that the freedom Of the
col0red race might be traced TO the work
Of Thomas jefferson, the father Of Demo-
cracy. He accused the leaders OF the Repub-
llcan party Of attempting to make the negroes
their political bondsmen and added: I'm
word party interest governed political
action and, II 1t had not been supposed by
the radical leaders that the political bondage
OF the negro could be made to take the place
of his ancient bondage, you would have heard
nothing Of the Republican party having
freed the slaves"
