SEM TOR THURMAN AND THE AT
TEMPT IN 1873 BY THE ENQUIR-
ER TO BREAK UP THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.

1t is quite evident that the TIL lrman
cause is daily gaining strength through
out Ohio, especially in the northwestern
part of the State. The Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, through its trade OF abuse heaped
on Mr. Thurman, had the effect for the
time being to poison the minds Of its rea-
ders against him, but as the animus of
that sheet becomes more apparent, day
by day, the old confidence is being gain
restored, and to day he has more warm
supporters in this part of the State than
any candidate for the Presidency. Mr..
Thurman has always been safe and con-
sistent Democrat, to whose influence,
mainly, may be attributed the present
strength of our party throughout the
State and country. When, at the close
of the Greeley campaign, which resulted
so disastrOusly to the Democracy, a lot of
dishealtened and demoraIized democrats
backed by the Enquirer and other kin
dred sheets, were determined to disband
the old organization, Mr.. Thurman step
ped in the breach, and like the compe-
tent general he proved himself to be,
rallied the forces and led them on to vic
tory, carrying the State by a handsome
majority. 1t is chiefly due to his energy
that our party to day stands solid, the
only recognized party in opposition to
the old enemy of the people, the rascally
thieving Belknap party WyandOtte Un-
ion.
We well remember the conference of
democrats held at Columbus soon after
the campaign to which our contemporary
refers. The earnest plea of that old Ro-
man, Hon. A. G. Thurman, on that occa-
sion, is fresh to our mind. The democrats
were in demoralized condition; appeals
were being made to send out of sight the
old democratic organization and form
new one. Hassaurek, of Cincinnati, and
several others were there with the burial
clothes for the democratic corpse-the
corpse had been promised by the Cincin-
natl Enquirer and Commercial. Allthat
was needed was the delivery of the corpse
and the democratic organization of Ohio
was to be known only in history. Thur
man was called upon for remarks. He
made a speech, and that speech revived
new life and stimulated free circula-
ton. No democratic corpse was to be
delivered over. The principles of the
democratic party could not die so long as
the American system of free government
exists, was the hinging point of Senator
Thurman's speech on that OCCASION

We wonder sometimes if those Demo
cratic papers in this State, which are ma
king such bother over the next Presi-
dental nomination, really think they are
doing anything toward making any "fa-
vorite son" for Ohio in the Democratic
Convention. If they do they must be a
little "off" Their efforts in that direc.
ton are more likely to damage the pros
pect of nominating any Ohio man at all,
since the discussion over which should
be the nominee has already degenerated
into quarrel. LET us have peace

THOSE Kentucky mules are still kick

who knows all about it, has come forward
and swears that the mule claim against

got $lO,5OO for pushing it through, when
he could not have helped knowing it was
a fraud. The parties who brought the
claim against the government were more

THE Trustees of Fairmount Children's
Home, and the Commissioners of Stark
and Columbiana counties, met at the
Home last week to inspect the progress
of the work, and transact such business
as might come before them, looking to
the completion and furnishing OF the
building. Workmen are now lathing the
main building and preparing to plaster.
The foundation walls of the two first cot
tages are being laid and that of the en-
CINE house. From present appearances
the institution will be completed, ready
for the admission of children before Oc-
tober next.

We know of no State where Democrats
are squabbling over the Presidential
nomination as they are in Ohio, all in
consequence Of that mischievous sheet,

Senator Thurman for year or two, and
yet our able Senator is perhaps the only
Democrat who can carry Ohio this fall.

last week have been released on bail,

early settlement of all difficulties.

THE whisky war has broken out in
good earnest in New York city, begin
ming with twenty indictments and six ar
rests of prominent liquor dealers last
week. The accused virtually plead the
baby act, declaring that if they handled
crooked whisky they did not know it,
If their connection with the Western
revenue frauds is proved on trial, the
fact that they were once respectable New
York merchants must be deemed rather
to add to than to diminish their guilt.

and his nomination by the democrats Is
thought probable.
CHARLES II. KNIGHT.
Whcss Mr.. Knight was beaten for the nom
instion for clerk, he was Endorsed by. accls-
nation for Supreme Court reporter. His
home is In Brazil, Clay county, where
he has been a pronounced democrat and has
performed public service by call OF that
party. He comes of a wealthy family, his
father being well known as the founder OF
Knightsyille, and the son is lawyer OF
much ability and sound views on the finan.
cial issues. He will make strong race.
His age is twenty-nine.
WIN. F. PARRETT,
the nominee for the supreme
bench from the first district,
is a sound democrat, who has never
moulted feather of his allegiance to the
party, and probably never will. He now
holds a position on the circuit bench OF
Vanderburgh, to which he was elected on
the democratic ticket. Financially his
views are well known, IS he was the first
judge to decide that greenbscks are a legal
tender. He ran in the congressional race
against Fuller, but came out behind. His
selection is considered wise one. but IL is
uncertain whether he will accept the NOM
inatioD.
Judge Haynes, of Dearborn, nominee for
the econd district, is man of ability, having
served scceptablY on the bench for several
terms, and his friends claim bis name will
carry strength with It over large district
In politics he has always been republican
and is vouched for a strenuous advocate
of the green back movement.
H. c. NEwcoMB.
The nomination of Judge Newcomb, oil
this city, for the third judicial district was a
well deserved compliment to his ability and
integrity. II the independents had searched
the republican party over they could not
have made wiser selection. His decisions
from the Superior Bench stand SIS law, COM
msnding the unqualified respect OF the pro-
fession everywhere, and his call to, the Su-
preme Bench would give universal sstis!ac-
ton. In politics, Judge Newcomb is and
always has been pronounced republican
maintaining his principles stou'1y as q
member of the legislature and while editor
of the Journal. MIR. Geisendorff vouched for
bis greenback views, but it IS well to re-
member in this connection that these Judi.
cial candidates are absolyed from fealty to
the platform.
". r. LINDSEY.
Judge Lindsey, of Howard, nominee for
the fourth district, is an old line demo
crst with.tbe Greeley sppendsge, and sound
on the currency question.
