had slept just twelve hours and hve
minutes and when he arose he was as
bright as a new dollar. He only awoke
once during the night, and then only
for a moment when his son, Allen
W. Thurman, gave him his medi-
cine. He lost no time in making
his tailor, and as soon as it was COM
pleted asked anXiouSly for his break
fast. He said: Il am not only feeling
much better, but | am almost perfectly
well, except that feel little weak as
the result of my recent attack" After
breakfast he lighted his cigar and
sat in the big arm chair before the win
dow facing Broadway all day long. He
was deluged with cards of prominent
men who desired to see him, but he de-
clined TO see any one except old personal
friends. With some members of the
national committee Chairman Barnum
called upon him and had quite an eX-
tensive conference. Col. Bryce and
Herman Oelrichs were also with him
for few moments at 4:90 this after
noon. The Judge said: 81 am well. l
don't know how long / can speak in
Newark, but am going to do my best.
This is
A FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE
and / am not only willing to sacrifice a
leg, but my life in its cause" Judge
Thurman left the Fifth Avenue hotel
shortly after p. m. for the Pennsylva-
MA railroad depot in Jersey City. He
was accompanied by Senator Nc
Pherson, of New Jersey, National
Committeeman Miles Ross, Mayor
Haynes, of Newark. and Mayor
cleveland, of Jersey City, who came
over as a committee of escort. There
we're present i'll his parlOrS to take leave
Of him Chairman Barnum, of the ma
tional Democratic committee; Chairman
Bryce and National Committeeman
Herman Oelrichs. A great throng
Of people checked up the
MOTEL corridors when Judge Thurman
ind his party came down in the eleva-
Tor to take the carriages which were in
waiting at the Twenty-third street en-
rance, cheers rent.the air in his honor,
which Judge Thurman smilingly ac-
knOWledged by raising his hat.
Accompanying Judge Thurman
and the New Jersey committee
of escort were his son, A. W. Thurman,
and his little grandson, National Com
mitteeman &. Tarpie, of California, and
Allen 0. Myers. Senator Mcpherson
ard Miles Ross rode in the first carriage
with Judge Thurman, which drew up
before the passenger waiting room
of the Pennsylvania railroad in
Jersey City at 6:55 p. IN. Judge
Thurman leaned heavily on the arm of
Senator Mcpherson after leaving the
carriage, and walked slowly through
the room to the platform, alongside of
which, on the north side, Calvin s.
Brice'S private car was in waiting. Judge
Thurman was very pale and nervous. A
twitchng of the muscles of the lower
part of his face Indicated that the damp
weather was unfavorably affecting his
rheumatic limbs. Indeed, it was plain
to every one that the judge
WAS IN GREAT PAIN.
The party proceeded to the private
car and Judge Thurman seated himself
in big leather arm chair in the draw
ing room and soon was in animated con-
VerSatiOn with the gentlemen by whom
he was surrounded. On center table
was a large bunch of flowers, and
suspended over a mirror was an
OutSpread umbrella, the covering of
which was constructed of a silk BAN
dana. A locomotive was attached to
the car and at p. M. sharp the train of
one car and a locomotive started, and
made the run of nine miles to Newark
rs special in less than ten
minutes. 1t drew up at the
Market street station, where an enOrm-
Gus crowd was in waiting, which enthu-
siaStically greeted the Old Roman as he
alighted. The space In front of the
station was chOked up with uniformed
alplC fbn TDnOlharG of VUblRh RaFrinH
lanterns and torches, sent off bombs and
rockets and made damp and dismal
surroundings brilliant by burning red
and green Greek fire. A procession
was speedily formed which comprised
several thousand men, and this escorted
the distinguished visitor to the Bellevue
avenue rink, which was more than two
miles and a half distant from the
station. The procession wound its way
through Market and Broad streets to
Bellevue avenue, on which the rink is
situated, near the outskirts of the city.
Despite the dOwn-pOur of rain Broad
and Market streets, as well as Bellevue
avenue, were packed with people their
entire length, and the greeting to the
old Roman was like one long.
UNDULATING WAVE OF CHEERING
from the start of the march to the close.
the city were occupied by marching and
counter marching uniformed clubs,
the ardOr of whose enthusiasm did not
seem to be dampened in the least de-
gree by the terribly disagreeable
weather. 1t was one of the greatest
demonstrations in political sense that
Newark has ever known,
sBellevueAvenuer rink is high wooden
structure capable of holding 1000 per-
sons, and when Judge Thurman en-
tered it a mighty welcome went up
from the thousands who were packed
into it like sardines in a box. A
o. bic platform had been erected in
the center of the building,
and this had been handsomely
decorated. A railed-otf space in front
and to the right of this band of music
was stationed, which struck up Hail
to the Chief" Outside there was a con-
stant explosion of bombs and discharge
of cannon. and inside a din of
enthusiastic cheering, which left no
doubt of the fact that there was a warm
corner in the New Jersey heart for the
grand old Roman, who stood there for
five minutes smilingly bowling his
thanks. Gen. j. Watts Kearney, son of
"Fighting Phil' Kearney, presided, and
surrounding him on the stage were all
the notable Democrats of Newark and
the committee of distinguished gentle
men who escorted Mr.. Thurman from
New York.
Judge Thurman's appearance on the
platform was the signal for the widest
OUtburst of applause. There were fully
1000 people in the rink, as many, in
fact, as the building could hold, and
they
WENT MAD WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Handkerchiefs and bandanaS were
houriShed in the air, hats were tossed
up, and everybody yelled as if he had a
steam whistle in his lungs. 1t was fully
five minutes before order could be re-
stored. Judge Thurman advanced to
the rostrum leaning On the arm
of Senator Mcpherson, and took
seat at the right hand OF
Chairman Kearney. 1t would have
been vain for the chairman to have
made an extended speech had he been
80 disposed. The audience wanted to
hear the old Roman speak, and they
were not backward in saying so.
