Political.

CLEVELAND, July 15.-The Plaindealer of
today publishes a letter from Hon. A. G. Thur
man, in which he says that though he would
prefer that the democrats had resolved on a
straight democratic ticket, he will work earnest
" for the election of Greeley and Brown, as it
is the will of the party, and believing that the
welfare of the country requires the defeat of the
present administration. The nomination of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore, he SAYS, was
the work of feeble politicians having nothing or
little to do with it. The democratic party does
not abandon its principles; but, believing
as it does that the course of the
radical leaders threatens to destroy all
constitutional and democratic ideas, it is
bound by its principles to seek to overthrow
those leaders, and if it cannot do it by the mode
It would prefer, it is but common sense 10 take
the next best mode
