Yesterday was a great day at Columbus,

many notable democrats were present

Ohio, in tho events of this day, has become
a veritable Mecca of democracy to the city
which marked the rising genius of their
distinguished leader to the city which was
the scene of his later contost and ultimate
triumph; tho democrats of the country at
large have gathered to pay homage to the
Old Uoman of the Amorican republic.
A DAV OF DEVOTION.
All day Allen G. Thurman has been the
recipient of veneration and affection which
but few American statesmen have enjoyed
after their acknowledged retirement from
the a.-ena of politics. This veneration and
this affection he has received in the cordial
old fashioned way which was always his
leading characteristic, and to every caller,
high or low, leader or the yeoman, he has
extended with kindly smiles the genial
hand of good fellowship. The eyes of all
have been turned toward Columbus to-day,
and the central figure Is the "Old Roman,"
whose rugged honesty and traditional
qualities have likened him to those
patriots of old, who placed the
public welfare above personal considera-
tion. Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say,
and indeed congratulatory messages re-
celved from all Apolitical sources would dl
most justify the assertion that to no retired
statesman since the days of Washington
has come such a flood of universal good
will and loving sentiment.
THE THURMAN CLUR.
It was under the auspices of the Thurman
club of Columbus that the anniversary of
the birth of Allen G. Thurman was to-day
celebrated. Throughout the entire day
every incoming train bore to the capital of
Ohio democrats of prominence from fcll sec-
tions of the United States until to-night the
scene can be likened to no gfctheriug except
to a national convention, which shapes the
politics and destinies of parties
One of the flraii to arrive t:
was ex-President Cleveland. Cleveland
was accompaniel by Hon. Daniel Lamont.
As soon as the throng espied him shouts
went up and the name of Cleveland was
taken up as a refrain by t'je vast crowd.
Men shouted frantically who had never
indulged in the , pastime before
nnd ladies waved their handkerchiefs
and applauded. As the ex-president
came from the car he raised his hat and
bowed smilingly. Then another shout went
up and a long line formed on either side,
through which tho distinguished guests
intimate friends were entertained at lun-
cheon at 3 p. m. At the table were Govern-
or and Mrs. CarapDell, Mr. Cleve-
land, Congressman Springer, Dan-
iel Lamont, Concressman . °u.,,
waite and one or two others. At tae
banquet ball to-night the decorations per-
fected under the artistic hands of qualified
workmen.were marvels of Imposing beauty.
Across the spacious chambers were hung
a dozen festooned arches burdened with
foliage, while the posts and girders were
spaced with spreading evergreen. fif-
teen arc electric lamps which shed rad-
iance like the sun were draped about the
chandelier feijtoonlugs and ornamented
with the cation's colors. Along the ea>.t
and west sides and south were ranged dense
rows of potted plants, ferns, palms and
incense-breathing exotics. Iho roomy bal-
cony on the west was comp etely draped
with the coiors and set with clusters of
emblematic flags, while on the
behind a deep screen of flagrant foliage
was arranged the cross gallery draped with
flags and hung with boughs of evergreens.
On the west again and still further to the
north wus an alcove for the music which
breathed out through the decorations, where
art and naturo mingle. Tho wide hall was
set with sixteen tables running cast and wist
acvoss the entire space, a distance of some too
feet, while p.loug the cast side under a roll
of nation's emblems wa3 arranged a long
table ou a platform raised some twelve
incheo. This table, si xty-flve feet in length,
was designed to accommodate the eminent
gentlemen chosen to respond to
the toasts. Noticeable and appropriate at
one end of the hall were the stately
Btatues of l'hurman and Cleveland,
done in crayon portraiture statuesque.
At the south end of tho banquet hall could
be heard the ticking of the telegraphic in-,
struments In an occasional lull of the fes-
tivities. Here tho Associated l ress with a
corps of stenographers aud typewriters was
making a verbal report of the entire pro-
ceedings, while two leased wires manned by
cKDert oneraiors transmitted to all parts of
the country the fervid words of oratory as
rapidly as they dropped from the lips of tho
speakers.
A BRILLIANT ASSEMBLAGE.
It is seldom so many distinguished men
of a party assemble at one time and place,
except on an occasion of a national conven-
tion. Among them were the only demo-
cratic ex-presldont living, congressmen, ex-
congressmen and congressmen elect, sena-
tors and ex-senators, governors, ex-gover-
nors and governors elect, besides gentlemen
who have distinguished themselves In

and Congressman Duburrows of Chicago.
At the conclusion of the banquet Mr. Jonn
G. Lantz, chairman of the Thurman club,
rapped the vast assemblage to order and re-
sponded briefly to the toast.
TIIE old ROMAN'S SPEECH.
"Welcome to our guests" was responded
to by Judge Thurman, tho honored man of
the occasion, as follows:

the banquet begins.
At 8.15 p. m. the banquet hall, with tho
most distinguished assemblage probably
that ever sat down to a banquet in this
country, was boing photograhed. As early
as 7 o'clock the banqueters began to arrive
and take their seats at the table. It was just
8.15 when ex-President Cleveland and Judge
i Thurman entered the room They were
. arm and arm, the ex-president supporting
this morning 1 venerable companion, who, further a*-
J sisted by a cane, walked slowly up the hall.
His limping gait attested that his old en-
emy the rheumatism, had made upon his
vigorous frame serious inroads. A mighty
cheer went up from the thousand throats
as the audienco caught sight of the two
distinguished guests of the evening, and
this cheer was prolonged and thrice repeat
ed before the procession reached the upper
end of the hall. For a moment only did
tho couple pause. It was just as they
reached tho reception room,

riage and were driven direct to the capitoi
mansion, where they became the guests of
Governor Campbell. Both Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Lamont were in excellent spirits
and at breakfast the party joked pleasantly
about Speaker Reed and his rulings, and
the possible position that awaited the gen-
tleman from Maine in the next congress
when he would be the leader of a small
minority in the house.
PUBLIC RECEPTION.
At 11 o'clock the ex-president proceeded
to the capitoi and at the governor's ofEce
met in friendly greeting the distinguished
visiting statesmen from all parts of the
United States. At- noon a presidential sa-
lute of twenty-one guns was fired iu the
state house yard in honor of Mr. Cleveland,
who at that hour was holding a public re
ception in the executive office. From
early morning the corridors of the
state house were thronged with
people, and by the opening of
the reception every hallway and room was
jammed^ A reina^^ witU Mr. Cleveland

with the democrats than ever before. He
looked well and was evidently feeling well.
A CALL ON THURMAN.
At the conclusion of the reception at the
capitoi the ex-president drove to the resi-
dence of Judge Thurman and congratulated
him on the anniversary of his 77th birth-
day. He assured the judge that the democ-
racy of the ^nation were rejoiced at his
continued vigor, and hoped he
might yet be spared many
years of usefulness. Judge Thurman
replied that no years or future acts of his
could posslblv increase the warmth of con-
emulations Which he had received to-day
fmm nil narts of the United States, and
that he was continually asking himself
whether his services had really been such
as to deserve Ml tliis.

arose, and accompanied by the speaker of
the evening entered tho hall and took their
seats at the great center table.
* CHEER AFTER CHEER.
It was at this stage tho greatest demon-
stration of the evening took place. Cheer
after cheer was given by the enthusiastic
audience and simultaneously every man
arose from his seat and waved tho
traditional red bandana handkerchief
in honor of the Old Roman.
With dignity vot smilingly Mr.
Thurman bowed to his 1Q00 frantic admir-
ers and Grover Cloyeland did likewise, as
cheers for the ex-president rent the air.
The band struck up the Star Spangled Ban-
ner and all remained standing until its
close. Then at a sign from the chairman
the vast multitude sank into their seats at
the festive board aud the banquet began.

President Hayes. Governor Hill, ex-Secre-

GREAT MKN OF THE NATION.
Seated at the speaker's table were Allen
G. Thurman, Grover Cleveland, John J.
Lantz, chairman el the Thurman club, Al-
their mark of friendship and esteem. I am
here at the nee of 77 to repeat my testimony,
so often uivun of my confidence in tho bene-
ficent effects of free institutions and my
firm belief of their duration on
this continent and their gradual but
certain extension over other and larger
portions of the globe. I hope that it is not
?i'esuni;>tiouH in me to say that I thiuk that
have soaio of the necessary qualifications
of a witness on the subject. In these same
seventy years the constitution of nearly
every government in Europe has been
llatorated by the introduction of
more liberal principles. Central and
South America have become congerio
of republics; Canada and Australia
are substantially republics without
name uud even in the far east, oriental
Japan Incomes moro freo and liberal with
each rovolvina year, and moro marvelous

.jenightel Africa, aud men of a sanguine
and philosophic disposition are predicting
without exciting ridicule her redemption
from h.r barbaric sleep of centuries.
FREEDOM MARCHES ONWARD.
In a word, freedom seems to be gradually
circumnavigating the globe and a proud
thought for us, the polar star of the navi-
gator is our own republic. What I have
said mav seem to some like extravagant
optimism. If so, I hjfve oulv to reply that
I have always preferred optimism topes*
simi3m and common sense to both, and that
I don't thiuk that in what I have said I liavo
depart 1 from the teachings of my friends.
It is seventv-ono yoars since, at 6 years of
age, I became a citizen of Ohio, aud I liavo
been one of her citizens from
that day to this, and I will
no doubt remain one of her
people until I shall be laid in my final rest-
ing place on earth under her sod.
M7 friends, T can say what probably no
other man in this groat audience can say.
FOND RECOLLECTIONS.
I have seen and talked with the first goy-
arno| of our state, Edward Tiffin, that ac-
oomiili-hed and most meritorious man and

gugastion, appearing in a paper known
to lo very friendly to me.
At the conclusion of Judge Thurman's
address three cheers were proposed and
giv:n with a good will for the
"Oil Roman." Toastmaster Outh-
waie, in Introducing ex-President
Cleveland, said: "GentlemeD: Among our
euists for the evening we have had a fine

The next toast Is "Citizenship in Ameri-

As the ex-president arose from his seat,
cher after cheer went up from the multi-
tude and bandanas wore waved wildly as
on previous occasions in Che evening. r.x-
Prcsident Cleveland spoke as follows;

is feared, will piovo serious internal in-
juries. The body of a tramp was taken out
of the wreck, maklug four dead recovered.
It is now thought that the accident
was caused by the removal of a rail by
tramps. C. R. Griebel of Mllwaukeo died

that several of the injured will also die.

has been quite decided, as wo close 7 better, tho
buying being to take in profits. We Bee no dis-
position to go long of the market. All depends
now whother thero will be general covering by
the shorts or not. If they do we shall improve,
but we think it will only be temporary. Our

~ COMIKLED ON SSCONB TAGE.
• LINCOLN, Neb., Not. 13.—The yield of corn
is much less than anticipated, the aver.-.ee
iu this part of the state being less than ten
bushels to the acre, and further west even
less. The farmers have nothing to feed
with and quantities of hogs half fattened
are being rushed to market and sacrified at
very low prices. Corn is sellina on the
streets for from 50 to 53 cents per bushel.
It is impossible to disguise the fact that In
the western con ntiee there is much destitu-
tion. many homesteads are heavily incum-
bered and a few have been abandoned.
Women and children are suffering for
clothing and fuel. The churches and be-
nevolently inclined people are quietly organ-
izing for their relief.
