OVER A THOUSAND GUESTS EXPECTED

SPECIAL TELEeRAh TO THE DrsPArcHi
COLUMBUS, November THE result Of
the recent elections over the country has
added renewed interest to the forthcoming
banquet, November 13, in honor of the
birthday anniversary of Judge Allen G.
Thurman. Provision has been made to
turn ], 900 plates, but the demand since the
election TOR tickets indicates the Thurman
Club, under whose auspices the banquet is
to be given, will have difficulty in holding
the demand within the limits. A greater
number cannot be conveniently accommo-
dated. Responses continue to pour in from
prominent Democrats all over the country,
the majority OF whom announce their inten-
tions of being present at the banquet, and
where they do not accept they improve the
opportunity to pronounce q eulogy upon
the life and character of the "Old Roman"
Some few Republicans have accepted and
purchased tickets, hut it is not the rule, and
the gathering will be principally composed
of representative Democrats.
NOT oFFENsIvELY PARTISAN.
The committees in charge OF this portion Of
the programme have taken special pains in
arranging the toasts, to have them So framed
in subject matter as not to be Objectionable
in partisan sense; and it is believed the
Republicans who honor the occasion with
their presence will not have reason to regret
1t. The Democratic sweep, however, as it is
termed, has aroused Il suspicion that some
of the fiery Democrats will be inclined to
indulge themselves upon the prospect of go.
Don M.DickInson, of Detroit, who had not
deemed it o! sufficient importance to make
an off IN hn ala bs h.,
election that he will be here to respond to a
toast which has been assigned him, and he
also desires % tickets additional that he
may bring party of friends. Several of
the prominent Democrats who have been
successful in the recent contest, are objects
OF interest, and an effort is being madeto
have them here. Of course, the presence of
Grover Cleveland and the significance
which the election attaches to him as a
Presidential quantity, will attract many to
the fesEal board.
A POLITICIANS VIEWS.
On this point, AL Carlisle, the Demo-
cratic politician, and a rather correct OBJ
server of events, remarked last night: "The
people are beginning to look at the tariff in
an intelligent way; their judgment is not
warped any more by the protection idea.
The election is q condemnation of the entire
full the manner in which 1t was sat upon. 1t
was swift judgment"
''Do you mean to say the Mckinley bill
was responsible for the whole business?"
"Most assuredly; it was the issue in all
the States, with the exceptions of Wiscon-
sin, where Peck was elected Governor on the
| Bennett school law issue, and of Peunsylva-
mia, where Pattison was elected on local
issues. In his canvass, Pattison kept aloof
from the tariff and talked home rule; that .
Governor had nothing to do with the tariff,
but was expected to look after the interests
of the State and could have no influence
with tariff legislation ii he desired such.
NO CHANCE FOR M'KINLEY.
mo, this talk of running Mckinley for
| Governor of Ohio is all bosh. The thinking
men OF his party who observe his disastrous
| defeat, will want to think about that ques-
ton; they will consider his candidacy bad
policy. 1 don't even think he will be
! candidate, as he would have no following
unless there should be a wonderful change
| and the future develops great strength in
his bill.''
"What will the result be?''
"If the question OF the tariff is kept before
the people it will result in a Democratic
victory next year, and that will settle all
differences in New York. That State will
not be necessity as the Democrats can win
| in half dozen ways without it. She can
be thrown out; in other words, it will not be
necessary to have New York to win Dem
ocratic victory. The election result, how
ever, is in the interest OF Cleveland and the
advancement OF the tariff reform ideas raised
by him during his administration. 1 be-
lieye Cleveland Is the coming man; that he
! has won a claim on the people, and there is
no one in his way
''Will you be at the banquet"
II most surely will be there to see the
next President"
