CHARGES AGAINST TssGRMsA.

Reports from Ohio say that the Ewing
men openly charge that Thurman aAd
his friends arranged with leading Re
publicans in several counties for a
change of votes for Governor in return
for Republican support for the Legisla-
tive ticket. j. @. Thompson, the
Thurman manager, is said to be impIl-
Gated in this business, and the Ewing
men declare they will expose the treach-
cry and duplioity Of him aud other
leading members Of the Thurman fac
tion. 1t is not likely that these charges
can be proved, and the fact that the
Legislature is Republican by a decisive
majority indicates that the charges are
unfounded. Thurman has represented
Ohio in the Senate for years, and as a
Senator his record is without a stain or
blemish. 1t is conceded by all parties
that he has no superior in ability and
integrity in the United States Senate.
Tie has ever been on the side of the
people against the encroachnents OF
corporations, and his voice and his vote
have always been against jobbery of
every nature and character To him
the countryis indebted for legislation
which requires the railroad companies,
which received assistance from the Gov
eminent, to create a sinking fund, and
set apart certain percentage OF their
earnings to pay their debts to the Gov
eminent at maturity. The act which
was drafted by Senator Thurman has
withstood the ordeal Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and is to-
day q law of the land. He is also OPP
posed to the National Banks, known as
John Sherman's pets, believing that a
concentration of the moneyed power is
dangerous, and undoubtedly the COM
bined efforts of the railroads and banks
were instrumental in defeating his
friends for members OF the Legislature.
to preclude all hopes of his reelection.
1t is not likely that Allen G. Thurman,
whose integrity has ever been unques-
toned, would be party to combina-
tion to defeat the nolaiaee of his party
for Governor of the State which he has
for years so ably represented in the
highest branch Of the National Legisla-
ture. The defeat of Ewing for Gov
ernor affects only Ohio, but the retire
ment of Thurman from the United
States Senate is an injury to the whole
country.

A Theory in Regard to Food.

The PGW Mall Gazette says: "A Ger

with regard to food. He maintains that
both the vegetarians and meat-eaters are
on the wrong tack. Vegetables are not
more wholesome than meat, or meat than
vegetables, and nothing is gained by con-
Stunning a compound of both. Whatever
nutritive qualities they may possess, he
says, are destroyed in great measures
