PAT CALHOUN THE CHOICE

OF THE ANTI-GORDON CAUCUS.
Atlanta. November 13.—[Special.]—
Pat Calhoun is the man.
The anti-Gordon caucus met tonight at
the capitol. and after four ballots and
three hours session they agreed upon Cal
houn. The first ballot stood: Norwood
27. Hines 19. Calhoun 15, duBignon 6,
Smith 3, and 5 scattering. On the next
ballot Norwood had 31. Calhoun 19, Hines
16, and the others scattering. On the
third ballot Calhoun 34, Norwood 26,
Hines 7, and others scattering. Fourth
ballot, Calhoun 42, Norwood 19. others
scattering.
Calhoun's nomination was then made
unanimous.
Ten proxies were held and several oth-
are claimed as absolutely certain by Cal
houn men. In fact they say that Cal
houn's election is a foregone conclusion.
[Cansidering the fact that 110 votes are
necessary to a choice, and the strength of
the anti-Gordon crowd, as developed in
the caucus above is only seventy-five, the
Calhoun men are certainly exceedingly
sanguine. Where will they get those
thirty-five votes ?

AfiSOIJUTELY PURE
COLU5IBUS. O., November 13.—The city
is decked out with flags, bantings and flow
ers, in honor of the Seventy-seventh anni
versary of the birth of Judge Thurman,
the "old Roman of Democracy, - ’ and ev
ery incoming train bringing in prominent
Democrats, who come to testify their affec
tion and respect. At the armory this ev
ening, one thousand guests, representing
the ablest men in the Democratic party,
will be present. Cleveland came in on an
early train, and is the guest of Governor
Campbell at the executive mansion. Cleve
land and Senator Calvin S. Brice called on
Thurman in the forenoon. The Old Ro
man was feeling remarkably well, and told
the ex-President he hoped still to weather
a few more years. “But.” said he, “I
have lived long enough to find myself more
than appreciated by many kind friends,
who have remembered me on this day, and
no years coaid add to the warm congratu
lations which they have showered upon
me.”
Cleveland assured Judge Thurman that
the greetings of this day, which came from
all quarters of the country, were but the
spontaneous expression of a grateful peo
ple toward one whos^ proved and unswerv
ing career had won for him alike the ven
eration of his party and admiration of the
nation. “We hope. Judge.” said Cleve
land, “that you may yet be spared many
years of usefulness to see the fullest
fruition of your doctrines and your teach
ings.' 1
COLL5IBU3, O.. November 13.—Among
the prominent Democrats who have arriv
ed this forenoon are Congressmen Spring
er. of Illinois, Hanson, of Missouri, Outh-
waite. of Ohio. ex-Commissioner of Agri
culture Coleman, of Missouri, Governor-
Elect Boyd, of Nebraska. President R. J.
Smith, of the Iroquois Club, of Chicago,
and Congressmen Durbarrow and McGann
of Illinois Iroquois Club, of Chicago, pro
voked hearty cheers as they march
ed into the Neil House, each member
decorated with an artistic badge, the insig
nia of Illinois organization, headed by
General Smith and Governor-Elect Boyd,
of Nebraska. The first call of the club
was for Congressman Springer, who was
greeted as Mr. Speaker, in indication of
his claiming the honors. The distinguish
ed Congressman returned the salutation
gracefully, and acknowledged his candida
cy and hope of success for the Speaker-
ship of the Fifty-third Congress. At
11 o'clock this forenoon, a public
reception took place at the Governor's
office, where ex-President Cleveland met
many distinguished representatives of that
party which acknowledged him as its
leader.
During the reception at the State house,
the firing of cannon welcomed Cleveland
to the State of Ohio. A clamorous crowd
who assembled in the building would not
depart without personally greeting the ex-
President, and a line was formed, and as
the multitude ebbed slowly through.
Cleveland shook the hands of his enthusi
astic admirers. By his side were Governor
Campbell, who had ventured out for the
first time during the day, Congressmen
Outhwaite, McDonald of the Second, and
several other Democrats of national cele
brity. In view of the trying exercises of
the evening yet in store, Judge Thurman
did not venture out to the capitol recep
tion, and by tacit agreement was gra
ciously permitted a few hours rest by his
visiting admirers. The reception lasted
till 12:30. At the conclusion of the
CLEVELAND RECEPTION
at the capitol the ex-President repaired to
the^executive mansion, where at an in
formal dinner at 2:30 he was afforded an
opportunity of meeting in private a few of
his particular friends. Composing the
dinner’ party there were ex-President
Cleveland, Governor Campbell, Congress
man Springer, Daniel Lamont and Con
gressman outhwaite.
the banquet.
At the banquet tiau tonight the decora
tions perfected under the artistic hands of
qualified women were a marvel of
imposing beauty. Across the spacious
chambers were hung a dozen of festooned
arches burdened with foliage, while the
posts and girders were sprayed with spread
ing green. Fifteen arc electric lamps,
which shed a radiance like the son, were
draped abont with chandelier festoonings
and ornamented with the nation’s colors.
Along the east and west sides and the
south were ranged dense rows of
potted plants, ferns, palms and
incense breathing exotics. The roomy
balcony on the east was draped with colors
and set with clusters of emblematic flags,
while on the west, behind the deep screen
of fragrant foliage, was arranged thd press
gallery, draped widi flags and hung with
boQghs of evergreen. On the west again,
and still further to the north, was an
alcove for music,- which breathed out
through the decorations, where air and na
ture mingles. ThAwide hail was set with
sixteen tables running east and west.
Along the east side under the Nation’s
emblems was arranged a long table on a
platform raised some twelve inches. This
table, sixty-five feet in length was des
ignated to accommodate the eminent gen
tlemen chosen to respond to the toasts.
The list of distinguished visitors and those
who occupied seats at the banquet table was
not composed exclusively of Democrats.
There were a number of Representatives
here from Ohio and elsewhere, who came
not as partisans, but as citizens, to show
their appreciation of the public service
rendered by Judge Thurman. Visitors
came from ail pans of the country, far and
near. The Democrats, of course, predom
inated. as the banquet was projected by
the Democratic club, and given in honor
of the birthday of a distinguished member
of that party. The following are a few of
the most prominent of the one thousand
guests seated at the banquet board:
Ex-President Cleveland, ex-Senator Mc
Donald of Indiana. Congressman Springer
of Illinois. T. G. Spearman of New York,
Judge Stafford of New York, Congress
man Outhwaite, Judges Cline and Sanders
Cleveland, Congressman Mansur of Mis
souri, Congressman-elect D M. Lockwood
of Buffalo, General Thomas Ewing of
Ohio: General Peter C. Doyle of Buffalo,
General Bunkerhoff of Mansfieid, Con
gressman Duburrow of Chicago, Ballard
Smith editor of the New York World,
John McFerry of New Orleans, Congress
man-elect D. D. Hare of Ohio,
Hon. G. A. Jenks, ex-United States Solic
itor General, of Pittsburg, Congressman
Breckinridge of Kentucky, Congressman
Wilson of West Virginia, Judge Isaac M.
Jordan of Cincinnati, ex-Postmaster Gen
eral Don M. Dickinson of Michigan, D. P.

of Birmingham. Ala., C. K. Jewett, chair
man Indiana Democratic State committee,
of Indianapolis. Lawrence Gardner of
Washington, D. C.. Governor-elect Boyd
of Nebraska, Gov. Jackson of Maryland.
As early as 7 o'clock the banquetters
began to arrive and take seats at the ta
ble. It was just 8 o’clock when
EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND JUDGE
THURMAN
entered the room. They were arm in arm,
the President supporting his venerable
companion, who was further assisted by a
cane, walked slowly up the ball. His
limping gait attested to the inroads that
his old enemy, the rheumatism, had made
upon his vigorous frame. A mighty
cheer went up from a thous
and throats as the audience caught
sight of the two distinguished guests of
the evening and the cheer was prolonged
and thrice repeated ere the procession
reached the upper end of the hall. It was
just as they reached the reception room
when they turned towards the assemblage
and bowed gravely their acknowledgement
to the generous ovation. After a few
minutes’ rest the party rose and, accompa
nied by the speakers of the even
ing, entered the hall and took their
seats at the grand central tabie. It was
at this stage
THE GREATEST DEMONSTRATION
of the evening took place. Cheer after
cheer arose from the enthusiastic audience,
and simultaneously every man arose from
his seat and waved the traditional red ban
danna handkerchief in honor of the “Old
Roman.” With dignity, yet smilingly,
Thurman bowed to his thousand frantic
admirers, and Grover Cleveland did like
wise as cheers for the ex-President rent
the air. The band struck up Star Span
gled Banner, and all remained standing
till the close. Then at a signal from the
chairman the vast multitude sank into
seats at the festive board, and the banqet
began.
OPENING THE BALL.
At the conclusion of the banquet, John
J. Lentz, chairman of the Thurman club,
rapped the vast assembly to order, and
said:
Gentlemen—The Thurman club is hap
py tonight to have had the privilege of
breaking bread and drinking wines at such
a feast as this, and proud indeed of the
company and fellowship of men who are
with os from almost every State in this
broad ITnion. We are more than gratified
to hundreds who are here in person, and
thousands who are here in spirit, joining
with ns in high tribute of respect, love
and admiration which we pay to the guest
of the evening. We have with us civil
ians and warriors. Congressmen, Senators
and Governors. We have with ns young
men with their ardor and strength, old
men with their recollections and tradi
tions from the days of Jefferson and
Jackson, and we have with us that other
man who completes the American trium
virate of Democratic Presidents, who has
done more than any other American to
instill in the hearts of the people the
sacredness and holiness of the oath of
public office, that man who not I
only proved that he would rather
be light than President, but who as Pres
ident has been brave enough and strong
enough to rule in behalf of the whole peo
ple, and not of party or class. [Cheers.]
Neither the Queen of England, the Empe
ror of Germany nor the Czar of Russia,
nor king of kings, emperor of emperors,
czar of czars, the American people, can
confer upon him official place no
higher than his ability and
merit. Words most not be
multiplied; there is no language so ex
pressive of his honor ^s his own name,
Grover Cleveland. [Prolonged cheers and
applause.] Gentlemen, if our enthusiasm
seems great, bear in mind we are In the
presence of a heroic character. We are
beholding the sunset of a life that is drop
ping low upon the western horizon, going
down in splendor and magnificence; that
would have been too much an
honor for Napoleon or the Czar
and now once let me repeat the echo that
comes from every hillside and cove from
ocean to ocean, a rarer spirit never did
steer humanity. IJis life was gentle, and
the elements so mixed in him that nature
might stand up and say to all the world
this is a man—this is "the noblest Ro
man of them alL” [Prolonged
cheers.] “Gentlemen,” said Chairman
Lentz, -allow me to introduce to you one
who scarcely needs an introduction, Joseph
H. Outhwaite, the toast master of the
evening.” [Applause.]
“It is a strange thing.” said Congress
man Outhwaite, “to see a thousand men
drawn together, not from one large
city alone, nor from one great
state, but from every quarter of
this greatest of republics to honor
the natal day an old man, a simple primi
tive citizen. [Tremendous applause.] His
neighbors are here, and many distin
guished men who have traveled days from
distant States are here to rejoice with him,
to wish that he may be with us still into
the dawning of another century. [Cries
of •‘yes.’’]
It is inscribed high upon the roll of our
good, our great, our noble, I had almost
said noblest among the noble (yet with all
a plain, modest, everyday gentleman).
Those of us who knew him best, loved
him best. [Prolonged cheers.}
Simultaneously one thousand people rose
to their feet as the toast master concluded
“To the health, long life and continued
happiness of our guest," [applause]. The
applause which had greeted the toast was
renewed as the “Old Roman" rose to re
spond. It swelled from applause to cheers—
from
MILD ACCLAIM TO DEAFENING ROAR.
As one thousand bandana handkerchiefs
were waved frantically in the air the
scene was one that would have swelled
with pride the heart of any human being,
even the old Roman, whose modesty has
ever been his crowning virtue. It was
five minutes before the oration which
greeted the toast subsided sufficiently to
enable Judge Thurman to respond. The
inspiration of the occasion caus
ed his massive frame to
regain all its old time vigor, and forgetting
his recent illness, he stood like a proud
sycamore as he began his speech. The
other toasts and speakers were: "Citizen
ship in America," Grover Cleveland;
“Democratic party in relation to future
public economy.” General Thomas Ewing;
"The Senate,” ex-Senator McDonald;
“The early Ohio bar." Hon. R. A. Harris
son; “The American statesman," Senator
Carlisle: “Democracy in America," Hon.
W. C. P. Breckenridge; “The House of
Representatives.” Congressman Wilson, of
West Virginia: “The Democracy of the
future,” Don M. Dickinson: “The State
of Ohio,” Governor Campbell. A number
of extempore addresses were also made.
