| A TILT IN THE SENATE.
WHEN the vetoed bill ON finance
camo up for action in the Senate on
the 2Sth Of April, Senator Thurman
Of Ohio, struck out for capital, by at
tempting . resurrection of the old
tins democracy, in an allusion to
Andrew Jackson in connection with
Gfant's veto. The resurrection success
IN Ohio last fall when chance hit
brought pstticoat Allen to the front
again for ! gubernaterial term, has
elated Thurman and he thought to in.
fuse into the stinking carcass Of the
vsllandingham Thurman democracy
of Ohio, some Of the eclat Of old
Hickory and incidentally Of Grant,
too, BY the allusion aforesaid. It is .
sorry thought to know that such
democracy, with such spokesman as
Thurman have the hardihood to call.
upon the name Of Andrew Jackson
who would have hung old Calhoun in
tho days of nullification if he had not
have succumbed.
This little speech of Thurman's was
replied 70 BY Senator Edmunds who
said: sThe difference between the
Republicans and Democratics was that
In the Republican administration the
Chief Magistrate attended to his con.
stitutiotnl duties, whereas In the good
old days Of Andrew Jackson, ii any
Dsmopratic Senator failed to come 10
time or support any measure Of the
Naturalization, he was not. allowed to
have any position in his party"
This brought back Thurman who
alluded to summers removal from the
craftsmanship Of the committee of
Foreign relations saying that It was
done because he would not favor the
San Domingo project. 4.
This called out several Senators
upon this question, which considering
the unfortunate publication recently of
Mr.. Summers suppressed speech was
quite cpportune. Senator Edmunds
said that the retiracy Of Mr.. Sumner
nom snc foreiga relations committee
WAS not for the reason alleged bv Mr..
Thurman, but solely for personal reas-
ons.
