From the Brooklyn Eagle.l

The Democrats have not had the
good fortune to elect a Governor out
in Ohio since time we do not care to
remember But some years ago they
failed on Governor and elected a Legis-
lature, which sent Mr.. Thurman to the
Senate. What excellent work he has
done need not be indicated. He has
been, in no official, though in real
sense, the leader of the Democratic side
of the chamber. His bearing, his logic,
his purity and fidelity have made him 6
national reputation. 1t is not too much
to say that even the Republicans respect
Mr.. Thurman more than they do any
Sen ator of their own party.
