COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 2O.-At few
minutes after O'Clock this afternoon
Engine 81, Oh the Columbus, Hooking
Valley & Toledo railroad, with baggage
and parlor cars attached, pulled out of
the Columbus union depot carrying
Judge A G. Thurman and party on
their way to Toledo and Port Huron,
where the campaign will be opened
Wednesday. Besides the 'Old Ro-
man." the party consisted of Con-
gresham j. III. Cultivate, of
Columbus; DR.. Frederick w. Schwarz,
an old friend of Judge Thurman's; AL
len w. Thurman and son, Lee; T. p.

Taylor and Hon. Allen o. Myers, of the
Cincinnati Enquirer; l.. P. Stevens, of
the Columbus Dispatch, and B. S.
Cowen and A. G. Armstrong, of the As
sociated press. The party was carried
in the special car of General Manager
w. P Shaw. of the Columbus, Hooking
Valley and Toledo railroad. Conductor
Tom Neville and Brakeman Fred Ruder
were on the cars, while Engineer Tom
Humphrey and Fireman Ed Kuhn were
on the engine. To look after the COM
fort of the party Porter Tyler was on
hand, and to further care for them were
General Passenger Agent 81. I. FalKen-
bach and Travelling Passenger Agent
F. ii. Tristram, who provided liberal
iy for every want of the party.
The start was without incident, the
rain and the uncertainty of tine hour of
departure seeming to keep the crowd at
home. However, the train attracted q
good deal of attention as it pulled out
with bandanas hanging in all the win
dowS. Those in the depot waved a fare
we'll and the trip was begun. Judge
Thurman said he had not been feeling
well, but
HE WALKED ERECT AND FIRM
and to all appearance was in good
shape. At Elmwood to train stopped
for moment, but the first crowd was
encountered at Powell, and in response
to numerous calls Judge Thurman
spoke briefly. The train pulled out as
the crowd gave three cheers for their
candidate. An enthusiastic crowd was
was red with bandanas as the
crowd waved them and cheered at
| the appearance of Mr.. Thurman. The
crowd filled up the platform and
stretched out across the track. A band
added to the enthusiasm. Hon. f. F.
PoppletOn and committee boarded the
train and brought the Judge to the
platform. AS soon as the cheering had
subsidized he spoke as follows, having
been introduced by Mr.. POppleton:
If Mr. Poppleton had the making of the
| next vice president Of the United States, /
have no doubt but 1 would be the man
! laughter and applause]; but there are a
great many other people that have word to
say upon that subject. l can tell you this,
| my friends. that if you want this old fellow
to be your next vice president of the United
States you must go to work. lApplause, and
cries of Well do It'll Now, you know ]
| have no time to make speech. and ii
Is only owing to the politeness of the conduc-
tor of the train that ] am permitted to say few
words, for two, or three or four minutes is
as long as the train can wait. And as have
so little time, cannot do better than to con
fine myself to single idea. You have heard
a great deal about the tariff, that is the great
subject upon which speeches are now made
have heard, in a long political experience
a great
| MANY ATTEMPTS TO HUMBUG'
the people, but of all the attemps that ever
have seen or heard, the pretension that
high protective tariff is for the benefit of the
laboring man, is the greatest humbug
TApplause.] What is tariff? 1t is tax; 6
tax levied by the general government upon
the commodities that the laboring. man as
we'll as other men use. 1t is a tax that takes
| hold of everything, from the crown OF
your head to the soles of your feet: that take:
your hat, your coat, your vests, youl
every implement which you use in youl
mechanical and agricultural operations
| And now to tell me that to take laborine
man. and tax him from the top of his hea6
| to the soles of his feet and to tax him or
everything that he uses in his trade, and tc
tax him heavily, is a benefit to him, seems Il
me to be nothing else than absurdity. Zap
pIausel (Here the brakeman stepped to the
side of the speaker ana mouoned' Tor the
train to proceed)
DO YOU SEE THIS MANI
He is making motions. not for me to &C
ahead, [Laughter] but for the train to GO
ahead so / will have to thank you for thi:
manifestation of your regard and bid yor
goodbye. Applause
At Prospect several hundred people
crowded up about the train and called
for a speech, but before the judge ha6
got we'll started the train pulled off, an(
the cheers of the crowd gave evidence
of the good will that followed the train
All the small stations along the wa!
were interested in the journey, and men
women and children waved greeting
as the train sped by. Engineer Humph
reys was bound to keep on time, and al
the while kept at the heels of the regu
lar train.
The Marion band tried to give a vel
come at the capitol of Marion county
but the cheers of the crowd drowned
the m out. Workingmen in their shir
sleeves, farmers on horseback, business
men, clerks, women, boys and girls t
the number of over 1000 crowded abou
the train to give enthusiastic greetin
to
THE NOBLE "OLD ROMAN"
This is the home of Boston G. Young
the Democratic candidate for secretar
of state, and that gentleman BOARDS
the train and presented Judge Thurma
to the crowd. Judge Thurman said:
