HEARTILY ENDORSED.
The Old Roman Is Pleased With
the Presidents Message.

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Judge Thurman's
views on the message sent by President
Cleveland Thursday to congress are
given in the following special interview
with a correspondent of the New York
Herald: son the train from Port
Huron to Chicago Judge Thurman,
after reading the presidents message,
talked quite freely concerning it, giving
it his hearty Endorsement, and congrat-
ulating Mr.. Cleveland upon the bold
and statesmanhke stand he had taken.
AS a WHOLE the Judge said, 1T shows
that the president has both broad and
comprehensive grasp of the situation
and understands it thoroughly
How do you look upon the question
of retafation?"
That question is answered" replied
the Judge. '.when | say that | indorse
the recommendations the president has
made in his message. The country can
trust Nh. Cleveland because of his con-
Versation and good judgment. He is
self-reliant, and at the same time Will
not refuse to listen to the advice and
opinions of those in whom he has con-
fidence. | cannot go into the merits of
the case now, because have not given
the subject the careful study it deserves,
but it is plain to see that the president
has gone over the ground carefully.
The message is calm and dignified, and
does not indulge in threats, though it is
evidently the work of man who sees
his duty clear, and does not hesitate to
perform it. Mr.. Cleveland is
THOROUGHLY IN EARNEST
in everything he does, and he takes no
steps which he does not feel will result
In benefit to the country"
1usfUa Thurman said no did NOT t1,ipl-
the present existing agitation would
disturb the relations now between the
United States and Canada, or tn
United States and England. The cone
tries thoroughly understood each other,
and while there might be marplots who
would like to see trouble grow out of
the fisheries question, they would be
disappointed. The effect of the message
would be beneficial in this. that it would
lead to its thorough discussion and coun-
sideration, and this was what was
wanted. The matter was not suf-
ticiently understood at the present time
by the people OF this country, but the
man who lad read the message of the
president could not fail to get all insight
into it. which would enable him to APP
preciate its Importance, even had he
never heard of the subject before.
Judge Thurman believes that the presi-
dent has taken thoroughly American
way out OF the present difficulty, and
that this in in itself will commend him
more than ever to the people of the
country who are not so blinded by par
tisan prejudice as to be unwilling to
give credit where it is justly due.
