An Attack of Cholera Morbus Units Him
for the Task Of Speaking at Zig Rally
In New York-His Illness Not Of an
Alarming Nature.
New York, Sept. There was big
crowd Of people around the Fifth Avenue
Hotel early last evening, waiting to SEQ
Judge Thurman start for the meeting at
the Madison Square Garden. The Judge
stayed In his room so long that people be-
gan TO wonder what was the matter. When
he finally appeared he seemed quite weak.
He leaned heavily upon Chairman
Barnum and his son Allen W., and
trcmbled visibly. His body seemed
to lean to the right, and his
right leg dragged little, as if afflicted
with rheumatism. He seemed too weak
or sick to make an effort to acknowledge
the vociferoas cheering of the multitude.
He was quickly helped into carriage
with Messrs. Brice, Barnum and Allen w.
Thurman, and the start for the garden
was made. Carriages containing dis
tinguished Democrats followed. The short
trip to the garden was triumphal tour,
the streets being lined with applauding
crowds.

/ He was assisted to his room, where he
was attended by DIR. Goldthwaite, who
