Al- though the convention does not meet till ‘Wednesday, nearly all of the candidates are lere and have opened headquarters, There is o lavge sprinkling of rural members and so many new faces are seen as to suggest that a new clement is attending the convention th year. This is largely duc to the interest in the railroud question, the farmers’ alliances in many localities having organized the county conventions and sent delegations of their own to the state convention. So it re- sembles the vs before the opening of the legislature, and many things suggest one of the old-time granger legislatures, where the anti-monopoly spirit was particularly vig- orou: It seems to be practically settled that Rail- road Commissioners Smith and Campbell will be renominated.

Democracy's Vice Presidential Candi- date Received With Cheers at Every Stopping Place—Jdours neying to Michigan, Ovatlons to Thurman, 200, August 20.—At 4 o'clock p. m. a special train, bearing Judge Thurman and party, left Columbus on the Hocking Valiey road. Besides the “Old Roman” the party consists of A. W. Thurman and son, Dr, Schiwarz, T, P. Lynn, of Columbus, and sev- eral newspaper correspondents, The first crowd was encountered at Powell, and in re- sponse to numerous calls Judge Thurman spoke briefly. As the train pulled out the crowd gave three cheers. A signon o high pole read, “Free muslin,” aud above thesign was a tame coon. At Delaware the crowd filled up the platform and stretched out across the track. A committee boarded the train and brought the judge to the platform, and he spoke as follows: “If you had the making of the next vice president, I have no doubt but that I would be the man, but there are a great many other people who have a word to say upon thay subject. T can tell you this, my fricuds, that if you want this old fellow to be your next vice president you must go to work., 1 have no time to make a speech, and cannot do better than confine myself to a single idea, You have heard ¢ 1 about the tariff, I have heard a gr attempts to hum- bug people, but of all the attempts that ever 1 have seen or heard the pretension that a high protective tariff is for the benefit ~ of the laboring man s the greatest humbug, What s tariff? It is a tax; a tax levied by the general gov- cernwent upon commodities that the laboring man, as well as the othier men, use. It is a tax that takes hold of cverytuing, from the wn of your head to the soles of your feets that takes every implement which you us your mechanicai and agricultural operations, and now to tell me that to take a laboring man and tax him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet is a benelit to him seems to me to be nothing but an absurdity. Ithank you for this manifestation of your regard and bid you good-bye, At Upper Sundusky a large crowd had s sembled. Judge Thurman was introduced and said: “If 1 had time nothing would give me more pleasure than to say something to you on this much discussed tariff question. I would like to expose somo of the humbugs that are sought to be made use of. When a man tells a laboring man that a tariff tax, hich taxes him in the price he pays for everything he wears, is a good thing for him, L answer that it is au_absurdity. What man ever got rich by having his hard earnings taken out of his pocket by taxation, and to say that a country could be made rich by heavily taxing its people is an absurdity that nobody but a high protectionist would dare to assert AllT can do now is to_thank you most hear- tily for the honor you have done me in giving me so great a welcome,” At the conclusion of Judge Thurman's brief specch the party adjourned to a hotel, where an excellont supper had beon preparc Fully ten thousand pes accompanied by a band, cheered as the train came to a stop at Carey. After thanking the people for their welcome and regretting his inability to make an extended specch, the judge con- clud by saying: “1t is a lony time since the people of Amer- ica have had such . fair and square issue before them as is before them now. You ha in the t ury more than one hundred million dollars utterly idle, for notone dollar of which the government has any use, but which is kept out of the px of the peo ple who might use it in their business and to their great advantage and prosperity. Now the democratic party says that ought not to be.” (Here the tram puiled out.) At Fostoria the Fostoria Cleveland and Thurman club, in uniform, a band, and a crowd of several hundred people welcomed the train. Judge Thurman came to the rear of the car and spoke as follows: “Fellow Citizens: If my eyes were shut I should know that there were some democrats m this neck of woods, for that is the way democrats shout when they see victory with- in their reach. When I can get away and am not under the domiunion of these train men I will make a speech and do the very best I can.” The Thurman club, of Rising Sun, de- manded another stop, und prevailed on the judge to start a speech, as follows: “My friends, I have been accustomed to say for several years that with me the time of the setting sun had arrmved. "To-night, however, I find I am in Rising Sun, and when I see you turn out and welcome me so Kkindly, young and old: when 1 ur shouts and look into your es and witness the zeal and earnestness that you display, it seems that the wheel of time had rolled k and 1 #m in Rising Sun again.” At Pemberville a canon and a brass band boomed out & welcome, ahd the crowd gave three times three cheers, The judge el “Mr. Fellow Citizen I thank you most sincerely for this welcome. I gladdens the heart of an old man to receive the applause of his fellow citizens, and therefore it is that 1 feel profoundly grateful for this hearty and enthusiastic welcome.” At 9 o’clock the train pulled into the depot at Toledo. Everything had been prepared fora good reception in this city, Crowds came to the city from neighboring towns and villages, Fremont heading the list with & club of 200 members., Three uniformed clubs, with torches, and bands welcomed the party to the city: Carriages had been provided and a proces- sion was at once formed and started up the street, the club marching first and fellowed Dby the carriages. Driviug to the postoffice building, the distinguished guest was corted 10 the steps, from which point the procession was reviewed. An immense crowd filled all the space about the building. ‘The sight of the “Old Roman” stirred them to great enthusiasm. Judge Emory D. Pot- ter introduced Judge Thurman, who spoke as follows: Mr. Chairm been my priv n and Fellow Citizens: It has x0 to speak injthis city a num- ber of times, and I never came here that I was not received with the kindest attention, and I am highly gratitied that I have once more the privilege of saying o few words to you. 1shall be y brief, considering the late hour of the night at which we have ar- rived and T have to speak day after to-mor- row to a larg owd that I ain assured there will be at Port Huron. It will be the open ing speech of the campaigu for and when I go thgre, into another state, I waut thew to have the Buckeye in the very best possible plight in which "he can be for talking. The few remarks 1 shall make will be confined to a smglo topic. Not that there is but one thing that might attract your attention in this campaigu, but there is one transcendant theme about which so much is said. The peoble are eager to learn exactly what is the truth, Irefertothe tariff question, I pre- suwe there is no man in this vast audience who does not know what is meant by the word ‘tariff,’ and yet it can do us no harm if 1 begin by a definiticn of what 1s a tariff. A tariff, wy friends, is nuvhm).[ more than a tax levied by the gencral government upon importations brought into the United States for salo, the effect of which is to raise the price of every commodity thus imported, aud also the price of all domestic pommodities of the same natul ade within nited States, ax is paid by the consumer of the ar When your state tax is levied it is levied on propérty and is paid by property. The man of much prop- orty pays wuch more than the man of little property; but a tarif is a tax. That is paid by the consumer of tho so-called pro- fected articles, He pays it in the price which he gives for every protected article that he buys, Let me suppose, for in : of illustration, that an importe hased in England enough cloth to make a suit of olothe: He pays for it, say 810 dollars. He brings it to the United Siates, Before hio can oven got it ot of the custom house at the place where bLe lands he must pay on that a tax called & tariff, and the probability is that owing to the enormous rates in the schedule on woolon goods that he will 3 tax of not less than 60 cents on the dollur, 80 that by the time one of you buys this cloth ¥ou have to pity from §16to $18 for that which originally cost §10. So berc bas been @ tax imposed on the consumor which amourts in effect to nenrly or quite a8 much as the orig- inal cost of the goods. There are men audn clous enough to say that a high proteclive tarift is for the benefit of the laboring man Why, in the name of ull that is common sense and reason, how ean & laboring man be aided by a tax that begins at the crown of head and extonds to the soles of his and taxes everything! How i the name of heaven, can it be tnat the laboring man is benefitted by such tax. Of all the humbugs by which men were attempted to bo doceived, this 18 tho groatest T ever heard of. avs some one, it enables tho manu facturers to pay higher wages, and therefore 18 a benefit to the labormg ‘men, Did you ever know any manufacturer that paid higher waes to his hands because of an increase of the tarift! There 18 a man named Barnum in this country—n man who has gathered to- gother in' Lis show more curiosities than perhaps can be found in any other single’ place on carth, but among all his_curiosities. he has never found suck a curiosity us the manufacturer who paid lugher wages to his hands because of a raise in tho tariff. Another of the doceptions of these tariff orators or high protection orators i8 to say that the consumer does not pay the tax. 11 he don't pay it who does? A man who stands fair in your community, and who has a face that would license him as o preacher of the gospel, will get up before his fellow citizens and tell them that the tarit lessens the price of commoditios, 1f 8o, w are all the manutacturers in favor of a high tarit! Do they want to reduce the price of their own goodst These people come before you and draw a glow! ture of the wealth and prosperity of our tountry. That is all very well, indeed, although “it would bo a little faiver if they would give the other side of the picture and show how tho agricultural interests and the value of agriculture has so wonderfully decreased since they had this higgh taviff in operation. How can a country be made rich by the government taxing its people far beyond any necessity that tho wovernment has for taxationt How can it be that you can be made rich by Uncle Sam thrusting his hands in your pockets and tak- ing from you more than is necessary for tho support of the governmenti now $115,000,000 locked up in the t beyond the amount that the government needed for its expenditures. 101t were in the pockets of the people, where it belongs, it could be used in business and for other necessitios, which Wi d make tens of thousands comfortable who are now in destitution. But it is time for me to stop. Lam to be followed by a gontleman whom T eommond to your nest und careful attention. 1 have the p ure of presenting Hon. Joseph H. Outi of Columbus.

He criticised the administration for having entered into negotiations with Great Britan relative to the immigration of Chinese through British America. Ne had a whisper been heard of any treaty, com munic sujzrestion or arrangement with Great Britain by which this immigra tion would be stopped. He thought it was o fair criticism of the executive to say that it had never thought of that which was so self- evident to the plainest man who walked upon the Pacifie slope and felt himself wronged by the presence of the pazan laborer. Mr. McKenna of California said that the pending treaty did not wect the situation, but it was the best the present administration could devise, He then proceeded to criticise the democratic majority n the house in the Forty-ninth congress for its tack of action upon the Chinese question, and for its dila- toriness ¢ session, For th Bayard had not given a There was not a sound except a sound revelry and music at tho idence of the minister, with the democratic s state in attendauce.

Mr .Vandever of California also depicted the evils which resulted from immigration, and the necessity which existed for its prohi- Dbition, and defendod General Harrison from the charge of entertaining pro-Chinese sen- timents. Mr. Dingley of Maine denied that the re- publican parly favored the importation of cheap labor.
