Mr.. THURMAN IS OUT
Continued From First Page.

thus these unsophisticated Americans. IN
conscious of their wr~ongdoing, demanded
the redemption OF party pledges and clam
ored for cheapness, in order that they might
provide the necessaries and comforts OF lie
for themselves and their families at the low
est possible cost. The leaders of the party.
who were caught in the act of robbery. aud
VINO were arraigned by the people for II viola
uon OF Its trust, were forced by their sad pre-
dleament TO a desperate ~eXpedient. TO
attempt to reverse the current of true Amer
ieaniSm and discredit the most honorable
sentiments belonging to American manhood,
were the disgracetul tasks of those who in
suited our people by the announcement of
the doctrine that to desire cheapness was to
love naStlneSs, and to practice economy and
frugality was un-Ameriean. Thus do we
plainly see that when the path pointed out
by patriotism and American citizenship is
forsaken by a party i'll power, for schemes OF
selfishneSs and for INSCRIPTIONS ~ConspiracleS
for partisan success. its course inevitably
leads TO unjust favoriteiSm, neglect of the
interest of the masses, entire perversion OF
the mission of republican institutions, and,
III some form, to the most
Impudent and Outrageous Insult
to true American sentiment. 1t cannot be
denied that political events in the past have
gone far toward encouraging arrogant party
assumption. Every thoughtful and patriotic
man has at times been disappointed and de-
pressed by the apparent Indifference and de-
moralizatIon of the people. But such refiec-

tonight. This is a time when faith in our
countrymeu should be fully re-established.
The noise of q recent political revolution Is
still heard throughout the land; the people
have inst demonstrated that there is a point
beyond which they cannot be led by blind
partisanship. and that they are quite compe-
tent to examine and correctly decide pollu-
cal questions concerning their rights and
their welfare. They have numerically re-
scented every attack upon true American
manhood, and have taught party lead
ers that, though slow to anger,
they take terrible revcnges when be
trayed. They permit US to for
give our honored guest for all the cheap
coats he has ever worn, for they have de-
clared them TO be in fashion. They have
also decreed that the Decalogue has a place
nina Thou shalt not STEAL" and have
rendered an emphatic verdict against those
who have. borne false witness. Nothing
could so we'll accompany the honors we pay
our distinguished guest as the celebration on
his birthday of the victory which has just
been achieved in yindication of American
cItlZenShip-for i'll him we honor the man
who has best illustrated true American man
hood. Our rejoicing and his are increased,
as we also celebrate tonight the triumph of
q Democratic principle for which he fought
and fell but two short years ago; and to. COM
plete our JOY and his we are permitted to in
dulge in true Democratic enthusiasm over
the steadfastness and devotion to its creed
exhibited by our party. which, know
ing no encouragement, has fought
to victory in the peoples cause.
Who can now doubt our countrynen'S appre-
citation OF that trait, so well illustrated in the
character of Allen G. Thurman. which
prompted him throughout his long career, at
all ines and in all circumstances, and with
out regard TO personal consequences, to do
the things which his conscience and jIdg-
ment approved, and which seemed to him to
be in the interests of his country and in ac-
eordance with his Democratic faith? Who
can now doubt that conscience and courage
point out the way TO public duty? If we en-
terrain more solemn thoughts on this occa-
sion, let them be concerning the responsible
iy which awaits us as our fellow country
men place in our keeping their hopes and
their trust. We shall fail in our obligation
TO them II we stifle conscience and duty by
ignoble craftsmanship: but we shall meet
every patriotic expectation if. in all we do,
we follow the guidance OF true ana honest
Democracy, illumined by the light of gen
uine America citizenship.
Every allusion which the eX-president
made to Judge Thurman, the honored
son of Ohio, was cheered to the echo,
and the sentiments of Mr.. Cleveland in
regard to the policy of the party found a
hearty echo to those assembled. Other
toastS were responded to by Senator Nc
Donald. Gen. Thomas Ewing, Hon. w.
G.. Z. Breckenridge, Hon. William L..
Wilson, Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, Gov.
Campbell and Others. The absence of
Henry Watterson, who was to have re-
SpoDded 10 a toast, was due to the fact
that the heme he selected cOnflicted
with tibet one assigned Mr.. Dickinson
He therefore withdrew his acceptance.
