SENATOR THURMAN ON THE LATEST DEPARTURE.
reporter OF the Associated Press interviewed
Senator Thurman tonight To learn his position
relative to the departure just inauguratcd. rhe
senator said that the statement made in the lib-
onel Love- tnat Mr.. Thurman was favorable
TO this movement, was entirely erroneous.
The facts are iollOws:-ln conversation between
these gentlemen, Mr.. Thurman SAID that the
charge so often made In the Cincinnati commercial
and YOLcSbtdtt, that IL was his active opposition
tlat caused the democracy TO REJECT the
movement was unlOunded that he had not
written single letter on the subject, and
that the opposition OF the democracy was
their unbiased feelings. From this statement Col
0nel Low drew the erroneous conclusion that
thurman was not AT heart opposed to the Conven-
ton OF to-day. The truth Is. that the Senator
always considered this moment as
GREAT MISTAKE,
and, while he would have been glad to see all the
elements OF opposition to the administration con-
soildated, he nas not believed and does not believe
that dispersion Oh the democratic party Is either
necessary or advisable.
In view OF the proceedings OF the Convention TO-
day the democrats that there Is but one course
left for them to pursue; That The August Conven-
ton Will nominate democratic ticket and make a
more vigorous light than the party mas made for
many years.
Interviews had with other prominent democrats
OF ONO, now here. all Indicate that the nominees
OF tO-day's Convention can hope for nothing from
the democratic party leaders, ana that the 9TH or
August Convention will Ignore the movement ana
nominate u full ticket Of their own.
