After the Newark address he will speak only ouce more this campaign—to the miners at Nelsonville, O, NEWARK, O, Oct. 31.—The train carry- ing Judge Thurman and party had & quict trip until Zanesville was reached. Several hundred people were ¢t the depot with a band to greet the party and accompany it to this city, where a big parade prececded the regular speeches of the day. To the Zancs ville people Thurman appearcd and spoke briefly. He told them that everything was favorable to de atic success; that neither the Murchison nor Sackville nor any other bugaboo could prevent them from obtaining the victory they wanted, if_only al! the good democrats would turn’ out and vote their party ticket. A large crowd welcomed the judge on his arrival here. Judge Thurman, in a carriage drawn by five white horses, was taken at once to the court house. Part of the procession acted as escort, but the gr wde of the had preceded the judge's arrival. Tur thousand were in line and the emblems of democracy abounded. Fully 10,000 people athered had when the judge began to speak and they gave him a hearty welcome, Before the address began Miss Minnie Hicler, representing thirty-eight handsomely bandana-uniformed little girls of Newarl, in a ncat speech presented a pretty floral emblem in the shape of a ban- dana. Judge Thurman was visibly affected by the presentation and made a short re- sponse Judge Thurman beaan his speech by eulo- gizing President Cleveland's administration, He called attention to the fact that the dire predictions made by the republicans previous to the campaign of 1554 had _all fallen to the ground. Grover Cleveland, he said, had signed more pension bills than all his prede- ssors put together. He did not claim nd to be w Washington, neither did lie say that he was a Jefferson or an Andrew Jackson, but he did say that if God ever an honest man on this globe Grover cland was such a man, He did say that it there ever was a man who faithfully and to the best of his ability discharged the duties of his high oftice fearlessly, courageously, in- telligently and practically, that man ' was Grover Cleveland. [Great' upplause. | Finding the progress that this man was making in the affections of the American people, his political opponents had sought to get him into a trap and_destroy his popular. ity with the people. In the first place they attacked hun_about certain codfish and her- ring upon the Canada side. President ¢ land made a treaty with the English govern- ment that secured rights to the Awerican people they had never enjoyed before, but the senate refused to ratify it. They re- jected it with scorn and contumely, and pro- posed nothing whatever in its place. On the contrary, the senate gave the president to understand they wanted no_treaty on the subject of the fisheries. Cleveland, with that extreme good sense and sagacity which has marked his career, immediately after sent 4 message to congress, saying, in effect: *If you wont negotiate, if you wont give up, if you wont fight, then give me the power that the president must have in order to retaliute, Iwant to fizht.” What became of that message! asked Judge Thurman, and then he continued: The democratic house of repre- seutatives passed a bili clothing the vresi- dent,_of the United States with the power to retaliate, but when it went to the pugnacious senate it was referred to the committee on foreign affairs, where 1t sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. (Great cheering.| He did not wish to speak disrespectfully of the seuate. He wished to speak respectfully of it, because he hoped to be its presiding ofiicer after the 4th of March next, but he did say that there were certain mischicf-making men who whispered into the cars of those senators to get up a row_ with Great. Britain and all the Irish in the United States would yotethe republican ticket. [Great lauglter.] He thought that accounted for the milk in that cocoanut. Judge Thurman then nese question up to the present time. He referred to his own _ position on this question, as announced by him as carly as 1570, when he said to the people of Cincinnati that the Chinese are not fit people to be immigrants to Ameri “The speaker then referred to the exclusion bill which was recommended by President Cleveland, saying that some of the senators, after wriggling and_ squirming to sce how they could get rid of that, at last passed it, und it became a law. Judge Thurman said that he might go on and give more and more of this history to show how every effort made by the president for the welfare of this country had been, directly or indirectly, opposed by his adversaries, and he came down to what he called the last serics in this comedy of errors of the republican lead- ers of this country. Judge Thurman here furnished the audicnee with the coutents of the letters which passed between Murchisou »ferred to the Chi- and Lord Sackville. He id that it would mot rejuire a man with as much brains us are in the skull of a jay bird to read that letter and know it was a villainous fraud and tion. [Applause.] The man who wrote it, he continued, mstead of being disposed to for Clevelund, was a tricky, villainous, igning republican of the meanest sort asked: “How much did he gt for it ] To this Judge Thurman replied: “Well, that is a question that has been trou- bling me ever since it was published, and to suve my life I canuot makeup my mind whether the British minister was more a ascal or more a fool! [Great cheeriug.] he letter and answer, said the judge, were kept secret unul a 'day or two before u lurge Irish meeting held m New York was to be addressed by Blaine, and, added Judge Thurman,Jimmy was after Pat again, Jimmy thought ke had a sort of patent right ma- chiue for catching Pat. He had tried it in 158, but the patent didn't work well. [Laugnter,| And there the letter was brought out, Blaine nolding up his hunds in holy horror to think that the British minister was interfering with American politics, He _attempted to make the Irishmen believe that the Brit- 1sh government was trying to_elect Cleve land president of the United States. When Clevelund saw this trick that was being played—when he saw what was being done 1o destroy the democratic party_and venta fair election in the United States, what did he do! He did just like that braye, courageous, decisive man that he is. He sent papers to the British government, and as they did not recall their minister, my Lord Sackville, Grover Cleveland seot'him his walking papers, and said: “Go; we do not want any more of you here.” '|Laughter and applause.] And now, unfortuuately, Bluiue, in his pretended 'indignation, and trying to catch votes, has declared that the president in his impudence should have sent him out of the country as soon as the letter came to light. Others declared the same thing. Well, the president has sent him out of the country, or told him to o, and go he will, and he wont stay here ong, either. And now there is @ great howl in the re- publican papers in the City of New York about the president being o uncivil to the Hritish government. A week or ten days ago this same Grover Cleveland was declared to be bending the knee to the British govern- meut, and that they were trying to aid him in his re-clection. But now the minisier out of the coun ordered him out of the country, all at once the same newspapers are erying out: “Ob! what an_indiscreet, what @n_impolite man this Grover Cleveland is, and how shame fully he has treated the British nation.” Congressman Campbell theu addressed the audience, and soon after the tram whirled away toward Columbus, Corvwmnrs, O., Oct. 3l.—Judge Thurman, his son, Allen W., and Comgressman Jamcs E.

AP A Political Sensation, IxpiANAvoLIS, Oct. 8- The publication by the Sentinel this morning of what pur- ports to be a fac-simile type-writer lotter sent out by W. W. Dudley, treasurer of the national republican comuiittee, giving in- structions regarding the election in Indiana, is the political sensation of the hour here. Scarcely thing clse was talked around the headquarters. Covies of the alleged let- ter were furnished to correapondents of dem- ocratie newspapers last night, The Sentinel states that the originkl copy is in possession of its editor, and can be scen by any member of the citizens' committee of 100 or fair election league or by any officials who are charged with the administration of the law, The letter m Editor Morse's nos. ssion covers two sheets printed with blue ink. The nameof the person to whom it was addressed has been cut out. There is a great variety of opinion asto its genuineness Barly in thé day Colonel Dudley wired the cditor of the Indianapolis News accluring the letter a forgery, and threatening to prosceute any _ paper publishing the same. Hditor’ Morse of = the Sentinel avers his conviction of the genuineness of the authorship and siguature of the letter, and to a reporter stated that he would teil the grand jury what he knew about its au- thenteity. Mr. Morse stated that the signn- ture had been examined by bankers and ex perts familiar with Mr, Dudley's writing, who agreed that it was his signatu Secretary Sheerin, of the demo tional cominittec, states that the letter was sent to Chairman_Jewett late Monday night. He (Sheerin) had no doubt whatever that it was signed and sent out by Dudley. He thought it possible that Dudley would be prosecuted. Chairman Jewett was t00 busy 1o be interviewed on the subject. Chairman Houston of the republican com- mittee is out in a card stating that Colonel Dudley has had nothing to do with the man- agement of the Indiana campaign; that he (Houston) has not been advising or_corre sponding with Dudley, and knew nothing of any intention on the latter’s part to address any letter to anybody in Indiana, ' insofar as the letters suggested the em ment of improper or illegal methods, in con- nection with the approaching clection, he utterly repudiated, on behalf of himself and the state central committee, such suggestion s entirely contrary to the' plans and pur- pose of his committee, “The letter bids fuir to prove the sensation of the Indiana campaign. The original copy s carcfully locked in the bank’s vault this ning. Colonel Dudley’s son promptiy de- red on his arrival in the city this morning that the fac-simile of the signature attributed to his father, as printed in_the Sentinel, was not his father's handwriting. The printed letter-heads of the national republican com- mittee, such as are found atthe headquarters of the state committee, do not correspond in type with the fac-simile head as printed in the Sentinel. The Outlook in élew York, New York, Oct. 81.—iSpecial Telegram to Tue Bee.|—From a source not to be doubted, it is learned to-night that twenty-six democratic repeaters have been spotted in this city by the detectives employed by Chairman Quay, and that before forty-eight hours this political element will be behind the bars and the reward fund of the national committee proportionally @ecreased. Rumors are numerous that there are several hundred repeaters under surviellapce, but the fact is that the number above wmentioned are kuown. With New York as the the campaign, t tle ground of ic question is universally asked: “Is New York safe for the repul lican party ' From the best poss ible source, from a conservative estimate based upon the most autheutic information in posse sion of the republican state commit- tee, there is but one answer—It is. | A carcful canvass of every county in the state, with an allowance of 10 per cent for possible errors, shows an_apparent plurality of 14,200 for Harrison and Morton The World of this morning timate based on & telegraphic canva state which gave the state by an apparent plurality of 23,00 to the democrats. In th itallowed a 65,000 democratic_mojority in New Yorlk City'and 20.000 for Kings county. 1f Mr. Cleveland gets out of this city with Y0 plurality he will be abead of all repub- lican expectation. Even the democrats themselves claim 5,000 less in this city than the World's estimate. Suffolic County, which s given in this same est mate a8 15,000 democratic, will go republican by 5,000, The best canvass ever wade in” Brooklyn shows 15,000 as the top figures for n possible Clevelund plurality. Accepting, therefore, us correct the World s estimate of 73,240 for Harrison, the conse tive democratic estimators only give Cle land 70,100 with which to meet it. Howey ates from carcful and well informed pondents of the state committee give Harrison 85,500 above the Harlem bridge, and the state by 14,200. Richard Croker, head of Tammany, demands only 60,000 ma' jority for the city of New York. He says he has promised the national committee 60,000, aud the democrats of New York have got 16 cowe up to his figu Paraders Come in Conflict. NEW Yong, Oct. 81.—A republican proces- sion, composed chiefly of colored men, met a democratic procession at Twenty-sixth strect and Sixth avenue to-day, and a riotous struggle ensued. Store windows were smashed aud several persons were injured. The colored republicans far outnumbered the members of the Jetfersonian association of the Ninth assembly district, with whom they fought. Numerous coloxed inhabitants of ‘the neighborhood who had turned out to see the immense colored procession fell to and ussisted the colored paraders, Mssiles flew in all directions, and hand to hand fights were everywhere. Women ran into every available place for shel- ter. Several shots were fired, and the patrolmen were driven off the avenue and hastencd to the Thirtieth street police sta- tion, The stores were all closed between Twenty-sixth and Thirtieth streets and the shopkeepers, with drawn revolvers, pr tected their property s best they could. The drug store of C. M. Steinon Sixth avenue was at once filled with a crowd of fright- ened women, who rushed in, knocking every. thing off the counters aud forciug back Mr. Stein. With great effort and revolver in hand he at length closed his doors. Thomas Murphy, aged twenty-two years, was found stabbed in the back.” An eld man named Kildea was forced through a show case and was unconscious from loss of blood. He was carried off by friends. Peter Me- Dermott, of thegdemocrats, was knocked down and beaten. His face was fearfully cut. James Br zed twenty, was either shot or stabbed and was found unconscious. -He was taken to the hospital.
