He said that Mr. Thurman. the Democratic VicePresidential candidate. and one whom you are proud to say and name as "the noblest Roman of you allI that even he would play at politics. and. for the purpose of partisan advantage. risked the dearest interests of his country. and maneuvered. with Sumner and Schurz. and others like them. to force Chinese naturalization on the country. I hope. sir. that he was moved only by partisan purposes. I hope that he was not moved by the grosser and baser purposes that if Chinese naturalization should be forced upon the country he could claim for his party Chinese suffrage as the reward of his valuable aid. I do not believe that he was so influenced. but ad opting the style of criticism of the gentleman from Indiana I might say he was so influenced. Mr.
