Columbus, O., Nov. 14.— The unmver-
sary of the 71th birthday. jj< Judge Thur¬
man, the “Ohf Rdmart, of Democracy,”
was, perhaps, the caus^ of brinjring to¬
gether more prominent Dofhooratil'and
statesmen than ever assembled in tl

The armory was decorated with flags,
bunting and flowers in profusion, and
the reflection was grand in the extreme.

men—jurists and statesmen—testified
their affection and respect for the hon¬
ored and aged old gentleman, who fully
appreciated the great occasion.
To Mr. Cleveland and Senator Calvin
Brice, who were the first to call on
Judge Thurman, he said:
“I have lived long enough to find my¬
self more than appreciated by many
kind friends, who have remembered me
on this day, and no years could add to
the warmth of the congratulations which
they have showered upon me.”
Mr. Cleveland assured him that the
greetings of the day were but the spon¬
taneous expression of a grateful people
toward one whose p roud and unswerv¬
ing career had won for him alike the
veneration of his party and the admira¬
tion of the nation. “We hope, judge,”
said Mr. Cleveland, “that you may yet

Mr. President and Gentlemen :—I fol-

votion and veneration, as I tender from
the Democracy of the great state of New
York her tribute of affection for the
man whom we honor tonight. I am
commissioned to claim for my state her
full share of the glory which has been
shed upon tlie American name and chdf
acter, bv one whose career and example
cannot be pre-empted, and whose renown
cannot be limited in ownership to the
neighbors We and friends of any locality.

didly illustrates life best and strongest
elements of our national character, and
because his example belongs to all hie
countrymen.
It is fitting that those who have faith
that in our there destiny as a nation, who believe
are noble things which belong
and distinctively who prize to our character as a people
at its true worth pure
American citizenship, should gather here
the tonight. highest It statesmanship, .is given us to the contemplate

and as an unfailing guide to useftT

In this presence and in the atmosphere
of these reflections, we should not miss

upon winch our free institutions were

at the beginning and for all time to
come, crated upon by American highest and madhood, conse¬

A country broad and new, to be sub¬

and promising people vast intelligently independent re¬

standing the value of a free nation and
holding fast to an intense affection for
its history and its heroes, have had much
to do with moulding our American char¬

Strange Fanaticisms.

braska. general talks entertainingly
as to the strange fanaticism prevalent
among the .Sioux and (’heyennes. He
says that many of the Sioux and Cliev-
ennes now assert that they have already
seen the Messiah, among others “Old
chief Porcupine,” who last a winter prominent made trip Cheyenne with
Wyoming a a
large party of braves to and
said he bod been taken to the Messiah
by some Bannock Indians who came
over the mountains to act as guides.
“Old Porcupine” reports Christ, that the Messiah
is the white man’s returned after
1,800 years to visit the red man. The
Messiah is white and wears his head
muffled so that his ftce cannot lie seen.
His hands, however, still bear cruel scars
from the wounds inflicted by the white
man centuries ago. T hese scars serve to
remind the Indian of his duty to the
Messiah, who faithful will bring his all old good things
if he is only to traditions
and customs. “There is nothing par¬
ticularly new in the latest craze, said
the general. “The Indians are great
dreamers. and consequently They have seldom plenty if ever of time work, to
sit around and pray and dance aw? fast.
This is all that they have been doing so
far, and I don’t know that they have
done any different for the last fifty years.
