A GREAT CROWD GATHERED AT MAD ISON SQUARE GARDEN. The Old Roman Taken Sick and Com pelled to Leave the Meetlng-<He Was Im p roving at Last Accounts—Governor m u and R o sw ell P. Flow er the Frin- clpal Speakers. a. thubman . N e w Y ork , Sept. 7.— Madison Square Garden was filled to overflowing within a few mintifce.s after the dooi’s were opened last evening and thousands of\people were turned away unable to obtain entrance. The inte rior o f the building presented a pleasing ap pearance, the bare rafters and timbers of former days being hidden by permanent dec orations and a profusion of flags being dis played for the occasion. To name the distinguished people present would be to name all the leading Democrats of New York and vicinity, together with a large number from other section.s of the country. The most noted were warmly ap plauded by the crowd as they appeared on the platform. Governor Hill recejvinga lion’s share of the demonstration. Cappa’s band furnished music to entertain the crowd until 8 o’clock when Calvin S. Brice and Roswell P . Flower appeared,closely foUowed by Mr. Thurman, surrounded by Governor Hill, Governor Green, Hon. P. A. Collins, Senator Kenna and a number of other prominent members of the party. There was a tremendous outburst of applause a.s Mr. Thurman was recognized. Col. Brice called the meeting to order and named Mr. Flower as chairman. When the applause subsided Mr. Flower addressed the metting. Mr. Flower made an interesting analysis of the flnancial status o f the country and dwelt particularly on the feature of heavy national, state, municipal, railroad and private debts. Be argued that the .stimulus to trade and the relief from taxation which would be in augurated by the fulfillment o f the presi dent’s policy would greatly benefit the coun try. The surplus meant that every citizen •was paying $1.33 to the government in taxes more than was necessary, while be was also paying an unknown sum in increased cost of articles of consumption owing to a badly arranged tariff. Mr. Fowler showed that the reduction pro posed by the Mills bill was for less than that proposed by the Republican tariff commis sion, and would leave the tariff still much higher than it would have been if that com mission’s advice had been followed He at tributed the relatively high wages in this country lo a variety of causes besides the high tariff, among them being opr cheap land, sparse population, natural rii hness of soil and abundance of mineral wealth and the individual energy which develops under free institutions, A long list of vice presidents was read and adopted and resolutions were read by Col. \V. L. Brown, greeting Mr. Thurman and pledg ing hearty support to thd national ticket and platform. These were adopted with a hurrah nnd Chairman Flower then introduced Judge Thurman. There was a n ovation lasting several min utes, Judge Thurman standing ' silent while the applause thundered around him. When the vast, audience became quiet again, Judge Thurman said: HTDOB XHUBMAN-_ at MADI60W SQUASH “I was nominated by the St, Louis conven tion for the ofllce of vice president of the United States, but fellow citizens, Allen G. Thurman is a jwor, weak, broken down n:an. I have been quite unwell this afternoon and am in no condition to speak to an immstiso audience like this. While I speak to you I am almost induced to make the effert, but I am really too unwell.” A t this point Judge Thurman showed signs of faintness. The gentleman nearest him sprang to his aid and helped him to a seat at the rear of the platform where restoratives were administered. In a few minutes he re covered sufflcently to be taken by members »f the committee to his carriage and back to ||ie Fifth Avenue h o tel ■5’ho su^4en illness o f Judge Thun caused a sensation in tho audience, Thorn was some confusion hut as scoii a« it bocamo evident that Judge Thurnlnn couM not pro ceed nnd as he was seen leaving the building there were loud crie.s for Govt-rnor, Hill. The Governor was at once introdneed by Ohairmuii FloiVer. Before beginning his speech ho said Judge Thurman’s sudden ill ness was a weakness that had come upon him but nil hour before. Ho took great pleasure in announcing that the illness was not serious, and that Judge Thurman would bo able to proceed to-day with the work laid out for him in the campaign. Governor Hdl con tinued a s follows: I “The Democracy ot the state of Nevv York |«relcome thO distinguished citizen ot 'Ohio, who has been made one of the standard bear ers ot our party in this campaign, and wht honors us upon this occasion by his presenca and we pledge to him and his invincible assO' date upon the ticket—Grqver Cleveland— the electoral vote of tho Empire State, “We welcome, not as a king—because the Democracy acknbwledge.s jao icings in this country, whether crowned or uncrowned— but we greet him as a plain, honosl, unas suming private citizen and Democrat, full ol years and honors, who possesses the conildence and regard o f a patriotic people. “Upon bis return to the W est he may tell our gallant.f riends of that section that there are no divisions among! the Democracy ol this state this year. W e are united, enthu- sieistic and confident. At the outset there were a few who wore startled at the presi dent’s bold message on the t ariff question an J who wavered somewhat, but his recent still bolder message on the fishery question, has brought all the wanderers back to the fold again. They realize that while his adminis tration may seem to them not to have been .perfect in every respect, it is better—aye a thousand times better—^than any Republican administration has been or can possibly be. Every true Democrat now feels tha^ this is no time for captious criticism, because the battle hasas actuallyctually beganegan andnd it is oar duty h a b a id by the old Democrat fli The governor briefly referred to the record of the Democratic party as the practical friend of the working classes and painted tr exorbitant one; it insists that a itself does not necessarily ‘protect’ a single workingman anywhere, but does impose ai; unnecessar.v burden upon all. It advocates the desirability o f placing a tariff upon im ported manufactured articles equal to the difference between the cost o f labor involved in theirtheir productionroduction inn thisis p i th country and the cost in foreign countries. It thoroughly h e lieves in the proper protection of labor. II recognizes that a s a general rule wages are higher in this country than in others, but it recognizes also the fact of the superior skil icognizes also the fa ct of the superior skil id effectiveness of tho American wcrkiiig- men and not the tariff.has given tij'*,':f higbei wages. “Let me clearly illustrate the Democratic positioni If the value of labor involved ir tho production of a certain manufacture.) article is, for instance, $5 in a foreign coun try, and to produce the same article here costs $8 for labor, then a tariff of $3 u|Xir such article equalizes the difference. Wf favor just suc-h a tariff. The tariff to that extent may be ciaimed to protect the laboi which-produces the article, hut no other oi additional tariff is required; any greater sure which may be imposed cannot be said to bi for the benefit of labor but is solely to in crease the profits of the manufac turer at the expense of his fcllou citizens in his own country. To that unneces sary increase beyond the difference betweer the value o f labor in the two countries th« Democratic party very properly objects to, Any further taxation thereon is not for the advantage of labor. I t is indeed oflicml rob- btiy on false pretenses—a robbery of the many for the benefit o f the few, “W e favor the protection of labor and that is all. \Te believe that capital will pro tect itself and w e object to the masses of the people being burdened to enrich a few.” Governor Hill quoted the Democratii platfcrm on this point and continued: “The Mills bill was framed in accordance with the sentiment of that platform' and I now assert that wherever there is any reduction made in that bill in the duty upon any manufac tured article there is still left a snflicieiit tar- lal the difference between tho enters into every manufactured article upon which a duty is imposed. Mora than that no citizen can reasonably ask. If the object ol a tariff is simply to protect labor, you ae. complish i t fully by the Mills bill. The work ingmen of the country are studying this question, and they are now ascertaining how great has been tho efforji of our adversaries to deceive and mislead them. ‘‘The Democracy believe that all the prin cipal noeessarie.s of life, whether produced at home or abroad, should be substantially free. Jn that re.spect everybody is or ought to ba a free trader, heeause it is for the benefit of the massei. The toiling millions have Interests which sliould ho consulted as well as those of millioneires, and in framing tariff os well as other public massages the object should ho to subserve public interests rather than private “dur opponents are bitterly assailing the pres’dent and accusing him of a lack ot patriotism. Tbero is nothing new in all this. II is simply their old methods of politi cal warfare renewed. They attacked the gallant Wnf-Hedan when he was our candi date and impuguod bis loyalty,notwithstand ing his eminent services in defense ol the union. The wounds and, valot of Ilaiicoek were not sufllcient to protect him from similar assaults. The great leader—Samuel J. Tilden—who did ninro than anyone else to advance polillcal reform and to purify ofllclal methods, d'J not .escape their venemous abuses. They never spoke « ell ot Horatio Seymour until he wa« d.'ad. They held up Thomas A. Hendi 'cksas the embodiment of all that was bad until ho was vindicated by the people in “No Democratic ateteiunan, ilo matter how piuehe aaay baVe been, o f how eminent oz; conspicuous his services wore to his country, has been oxomptod from their bitter calum- niatioits, Their niJsropresontatlons do not disturb the president, nor will they deceive the people, He stands unmoved by their as- sa'ilts, relying with entire confidence upon the fairness, intelligonce and discerning judg ment of tlie American people, who w ill sus. tarn his sincere efforts in the faithful dis charge of his duty. ‘'The Deinoeratic part upon any class of our . as far as pc.sai bill the habits and customs ol all. Our national platform declares as fol lows: ‘We oppose tumptuai'y laws which vex the citizen and intei fere with individual liberty.’ Everyone who entertains correct notions of the true functions of government will approve this doctrine, and the illhicral and unwise course of the Republicans is fast driving away from them every man who be lieves in the large.st individual liberty con- sistcnt with the public well fare and safety. “Our Repiublican friends are free with promises as to the benefits they propose to, confer upon the country in the event of their restoration to power. But why wero not these beneSts realized when they actually had the power? Why was it that the greatest commercial panic in alb our history occurred under the Republican adniinutmtior*. ol Presi-iCnt Grant and when wo were enjoying all the Inestiniabre ‘ble%fings’ of a high pro tective tariff? “The Republicans controlled the president, both houses of congress, the itreaspry, the army and navy and the judiciary, and yet they had n o t the statesmanship nor was their policy or management sufficient to prevent extensive financial disaster. Their policy swept our commerce from the high seas and ruined completely our ship building indus try. It was because of that fact that Mr. Blaine was compelled the other day t o sail to this country In a British ship over which floated the British flag. “Our navy was jierraitted to deteriorate under Republican rule. It is being built up under the wise and efficient administration of Secretary 'Whitney. It gives ipe pleasure to say what is a generally conceded fact, that we never h ave had a better administration of naval affairs than the country is enjoying to-day. Our national treasury is being ad mirably managed and our national finances are in a healthy condition. The improved efficien''y o f the postofflea department s] for itself, There have been no soanda any departn.ont of the government. Busi ness methods have prevailed and hens speaks for itself, There have been no scandals in lesty and efficiency have been the standards required and enforced. “I firmly believe that the people are rea sonably satisfied with Democratic rule and do not desire a change. The country is fairly prosperous; our workingmen are well employed; our merchants are making living profits and the hard times are slowly but surely passing away, and all that we now re quire to ensure ei-raineat prosperity is re lief from unnecessary and burdensome taxa tion. We shall win the coming contest because we deserve to succeed. “Tho Dtmdcratic party was nevermore ri.c,htihna, it is to-day. Clamor, misrepre-, Fcntatlon, abuse, false pretenste and the impOituves of pretended patriotism may suc ceed for a while and obstruct our progress, but the sober second thought of the people will surely prevail, and our triumph will ba os glorious and gratifying to the Democracy as It will be disastrous to our adversaries.” The speech was frequently internipted by applause and at its close there were many cheers for “the next governor of Now York.” Governor Green of New Jersey was then introduced and in opening his remarks he ex pressed regret at Mr. Thurman’s temporary illness and paid a high tribute to him ns ‘‘The intellectual giant who, in the senate was the defender of constitutional liberty and who more than any other man, is looked on by the Democracy os the exponent of its principles.” Governor Green proceeded to eulogize the administration of President Cleveland and to advocate his tariff policy. A letter from Sena or Voorhees was next read in which he expressed confidence for In diana and said: “Toll Judge Thurman I love him and prav God bless him.” Ex-Governor Blackburn of Kentucky was the next speaker and h.s vigorous utterances were greatly applauded. ■ Hon. T. A Collins followed Senator Black burn aud was in turn followed by Hon, John McMeeney, of Ohio, David M. Burke, ox-Sur- regate Calvin and Anson Phelps Stokes. There were cries for Mr. Hewitt, but it was too late for further speaking and the meet ing closed with cheers for Cleveland Thur man and Hill. While the main meeting was in progress there was a branch meeting addressed by eminent German Democrats at the Fourth avenue and Twenty-sixth street corner of the garden. Ex-Judgo Ottenburg presided and spoke and was followed by Dr. Louis F. Schneider, Gen. Franz Sigel, Edward Gross, Dr August Freeh, Dr. Merkel, Edward J. H. Tomsen, Justice Nehrhas, and August Kleinraan. All the speakere used the Ger man language A t Madison avenue and Twenty-seventh street there was another stand, from which sjjeakiiig proceeded under tho auspices ot the County Democracy. The speakers wore Jutlice Murray and other local lights. A similar meeting was held at the Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street Corner by the Tammany H&ll Democracy. Hon. S. S.
