their guest. The Lapeer people
learned that Judge Thurman would
stop about twenty minutes before
the arrival of the train and couple of
hundred or more. were at the depot to
greet him. He came to the rear plat

there was some bright repartee in which

ties Joined. A man named Hatched
proudly announced his name and
largely participated in the converse
ton.

which request was granted, as the train
stopped for moment in the center of
town on the Saginaw street crossing.
EX-Gov. Begoie and reception COM
.mittee met the party at the edge
/ of town. An enthusiastic crowd
greeted them in town, with a band.
Several thousand people were waiting,
! and cheered his remarks. Judge Thur
/ man was introduced by George III.
fDurand, of Flint, and was greeted with
i great cheers. He returned thanks, and
expressed his regret at his inability to
speak at length. He called atten-
tion to the surplus in the
United States treasury and the con-
stant surplus revenue and its increase
by means of the high tariff, whose effect
on labor was about to be considered by
him when the train pulled out, leav-
Along the wayside people waved
handkerchiefs and hats and gave
other expressions of their most
hearty good will. Durand junction
and Trowbridge gave greetings briefly,
but heartily, and the train kept ON its
way to Lansing, whose people had pre-
pared for greater and more enthusi
astic reception. For some time before
reaching Lansing, the judge slept
peacefully on the car, having lost sleep
| to make the early start this morning
A band and crowd of over 1000 peo-
pie were at the Lansing depot when the
train reached there, and gave a hearty
welcome. In response to calls, Judge
Thurman spoke substantially as fol-
lows, after bowling i'll Acknowledgement
of the applause that greeted him:
81 am greatly obliged to you for this
warm and hearty welcome. l would
| like to make you speech, but have not
| the time. / can only say am
GRATEFUL FOR THIS CIvILITY,
and hope yOu will all turn out as we'll
when election time comes, and it will
be particularly grateful to me if yon
will vote the Democratic ticket"
At this point the venerable Judge
Christiancy climbed upon the car, and
| received very hearty and cordial
| greeting from Judge Thurman, with
| whom he was associated in the United
States senate, and to whom he presented
friendly personal note. After
speaking his pleasure at the meet
ing, Judge Thurman took up the
| discussion of the tariff, remarking that
| the tariff is a tax from your hats to your
boots. If you don't want to pay the tax
on them, you should vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. The question of the cam
high and outrageous one. This
tax is the means of an i'm
mense amount of money being
now locked up in the United States
treasury for which the government has
no more use than horse for five legs.
1t is money we all need and tax that
causes its accumulation should be abOl-
| ished. Some ladies in the crowd pre-
sented bouquets, the band struck up
I "DiXie." the crowd joined in heartily
with cheers, and
WAVED BANDANAs AND FLAGS
and the train pulled out with Judge
| Thurman bowling and waving greeting
| from the rear platform.
Charlotte has a population of about
1000, and it seemed that nearly all of
them were at the depot when the train
to which Judge Thurman's special was
attached drew up to the place.
1t was an enthusiastic crowd, too. After
replying neatly to complimentary re-
mark from the local politician who in
| troduced him, the judge said, in sub
stance:
l understand there are a great num-
| ber of people in this town from Ohio,
and / am from Ohio. l have lived
there great many more years
than I am gong to tell
you, because my opponents already say
am one hundred and fifty years old,
ane am not gOidg to give it away. We
Buckeyes are proud of Ohio, and l am
glad to have met so many from that
state.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one,
and cheered heartily. AS the train
pulled out. baby in arms at the edge
| of town waved big bandanna, and
older people expressed their feelings IN
similar manner. The remainder of
| the trip to Chicago was made without
further incident, except that at nearly
every station crowds gathered and gave
| their respects to the old Roman by way
ing bandannas and cheering him.
