pets: 1t began tearing up streets, and

LIE INEVITABLE private letter hos
turned up i'll which it is said tapt
senator Thurman, outraged at tho
Virulcnt and undetermined attacks
made upon him by General Ewing and
his friends, will take no part in the
ONO campaign. The Cincinnati En-
gu'''er denies this story, but t. is q t,ct
mat Senator Thurman is now in
call"'sa i'll quest of health. 1t was
s"lo az the Time of the meeting Of tic
democratic Convention that he had
been badly trcAtcd; but he doubtless

elections. Now there arc five part;cs
IN the field, and it is anybody's flpht.
Inc last sensation is the dcscrtion of
George c. Gorham, whilom Radical
VI great renown, to the support of the
candidates of the Democrats and or Tho
now constitution. Gorhom ,v,s
secretary of tho United States Senate
nnti1 the Democrats turned him out,
!ic mas also boon secretary of the Ns-
tlonal Republican Committee. Clo;m-
ing still to be a Republican, hc saws he
cannot support that party in its pres-
en' contest, as it is run ill tho interest
ol railroads ahd monopolics. The
mllk IN the cotoailut, it is said, lies in
inc iact that Sargent will be made
umtea States Senator if the Rcpubli-
cans win; and Gotham has gone over
10 the other side i'll the ho,ju of GETTING
the senatofsfip from them. He Is .
slrcwd knavc and an ardent Gront
man, ana while he may be OH the
r,ght side i'll regard to monopolics, he
s'o'lld never get into the United States
Senate.
