Arrival of Judge Thurman.
Judge Allen G. Thurman arrived here FROM
Shelbyville about $50 o'clock last evening. The
intention was for him to go through without
stopping to Goshen, whore he was to speak to-
day, but it took five hours for his train to make
the run from Shelbyville TO this city. 1t was
then decided TO spend the night here. The
Judge was accompanied by his son, Allen w.
Thurman, DR.. Fred w. Swar,z, Of Columbus.
o.. an old friend, James b. Townsend. chair
man Of the Ohio State Democratic committee;
Col. W. A. Taylor, correspondent OF the Gin
einuati Enquirer: Mr.. Is. s. Cowen. of the AS
ISOLATED Press; II. n. Hunt, of the United Press;
Governor Gray, Senator Voorhees, and other
Indiana Democrats. The Hon. George w.
Lose and Il. G. Bell, of Fort Wayne,
met the Judge at Shelbyvills for the
purpose of inviting him TO Fort Wayne. The
party is travelipein style in the private car OF
Cal s. Br;ce, chairman of the national Demo
ocratic committee.
There was no special demonstration at the
Union Station upon the Judges arrival, a frag-
ment of the Hendricks Guard and q few other
citizens being present. There was not even q
carriage provided for tho visitors. and they bad
to find a conveyance for themselves. Judge
Thurman was assisted out Of the car, and re-
CURED the assistance of two mon to enable him
to get into the carriage. and he was then driven
to the Grand Hotel, where the party is stop
ping. While supper was being prepared he held an
informal reception in one OF the parlors, when q
few 90 the local Democrats called upon him.
While he was at supper his son entertained q
knot OF Democrats with tales OF what good
health his father 10 in and how well he 10 stand
ing the campaign. Allen w. is a tall. good
looking man of about thirty-ive, and is a good
talker. 1T is wonderful how well father stands
it" said he. why he walked quite a distance
to-day snd is as well as ever he WAS"
Near by was another knot of Democrats dis
cussipg the Judges health aud appear
ance, and they seemed to differ some
what in opinion from the son OF his
father. II was at Sbelbyville to-day" said
one. land while the Judge looks as well as | ex-
pected 10 see him, yet il don't look right
for q man Of his age to be riding around
over the country making political speeches
in such weather as We have had to-day. de hes

and dressing gown on and taking hfe easy
After supper the Judge at once retired TO his
room, No. ., and very few persons were admit
ted. He was sitting IN a large easy chair and
taking a comfortable smoke, when the Journal
reporter called. In answer TO the query as to
how he was standing the trip, he said: II am
very much %fa,igued. ! have been mp ever since
daylight this morning making speeches and on
my feet considerable, and its enough 10 tire any
one ont. I've had no appetite and have not eat
en- a bite to-day until just = few moments *
/ will be all right after a nights rest. though"
The Judge d,d look haggsrd and
worn out. and there ia no dis
euising the fact that whatever may oe
his mental condition. physically he has arrived
at the .lean and siippered pantaloon" period OF
his life. when he ought to be spared all unneces-
sary exertion. His feet drag on the ground
when he walks. and when sitting down IL is a
great effort for him 10 arise without assistance.
He will remain here until lilo o'clock this after.
noon. when he will go to Peru and thence to
Fort Wayne.
