for moment on account OF the heat
The rink building had been closed be-
cause OF the raw and chilly atmosphere,
and with 5000 persons so closed in the
air became sitting Mr. Thurman took u
seat after speaking 10 GOV. Greene, Of
New Jersey, who advanced and addressed
the people. When he had concluded, Mr..
Thurman advanced and resumed thus.
My lre nds, | began TO fear that ! was
going TO have u recurrence OF the maady
that attacked me at New York, and |
therefore took my scat and begged my
friend, Gov. Green, TO occupy your attcn-
ton until | recovered. | am greatly
Obliged TO him for doing so. lie has put

but | will now cndcavor to resume my re-.
marks and speak rs well as ! can for the
remainder OF the time that will occupy
your attention.
The Governor has spoken on
THE QUESTION on THE SURPLUS.
Now | hold in my hand letter from
the Secretary OF the Treasury, giving the
exact amount down 10 cents, OF surplus
which there was on the 3lst day OF August
OF this year, only u few days ago, and that
amoun, WAS SlS3, i2O, O69. 80 and upwards,
drawn from the pockets OF the people aud
lying in the treasury of the United States
without the slightest necessity of its being
there, money Tor which the Government
has not the slightest use, but which, IL
kept in the pockets OF the people, would
he of great benefit to them, 10 their busi.
ness and their homes
And now, my friends, what Is 10 bc done
in an emergency OF this kind2 II is ad.
mttcd on nll hands that this surplus must
bc reduced. for Il goes ON increasing from
day 10 day at the rate OF $4,000 a
month, drawn from the pockets Of the pco-
pie without the slightest necessity in the
world for any such thing. There are but
three ways in which this surplus can DO
rcducod-tho one is by cxtrayagant cx.
p1nditurcs of the government land no
man will say they should do that,
and tho other is 10y reduction OF the
informal revenue, free whisky aud tobacco
against free produce; the third is by a ~
ductiOn OF the tariff on imported articles,
and that is the doctrine which the Dem.
ocratlc party advocates. ! hope YOU will
advocate that system which takes from
every man the taxation on everything ho
wears; ON everything that his wife wears.
on everything that his children wear on
every implement Of trade. Gentlemen,
am unable to proceed, and must thank
you and give way to others
The conclusion of Judge Thurman's
speech was heard only 10y those within u
few feet OF the platform. EX-Gov. Leon
Abbott closed the speaking and tho
throng dispersed with cheers. On reach.

Scud and the Babies.

1t was the last day of vacation, yet
Betty was very happy, for she had
found some new babies-play babies.
She had been out in the tall corn
that morning with grandma, and they
had come upon some tiny green
pumpkin, and grandma had told her
that she used to dress them up in
little pinafores, and play with them
for dollies when she was little girl.
So that afternoon Betty had a
whole row of them set up on the big,
fiat rock at the edge of the wood
where she played "keep house" all
summer. There was Sarah Jane and
Ann Maria and Tabittra, besides a
Polly and Patty and Catherine.
Grandma named them.
Cousin Tim came over to play with
Betty, and he brought Scud along.
Scud was a goat.
NOW ocud was always hungry,
which was not to be wondered at, be-
ing goat, but to have him in a fam
lily of babies, especially when the ba-
bies were as toothsome as were Bet
tvs, was something of a trial. He
would keep nibbling them whenever
Betty's or Tins eye was not upon
him.
First, he bit piece out of Sarah
Jane, then nipped Ann Maria, and
finally gnawed'the green all off one
side of Patty.
Then Betty got string and tied
Scud to bush, and he bleated so
loudly that Betty and Tim ran down
to the orchard to get him some sweet
apples.
They were not long away, they
thought, but when they came back
Scud was gone, and there was nothing
left on the rock but six little pinafores
and few pumpkin-seeds.- - Youths
