senator rhur...a laserviewed.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
enquirer, who interviewed senator
Thurman at Columbus, Ohio, on Tues
day, says the Senator expressed con-
6dence in the ability OF the democrats
to carry Ohio this fall, and thought a
democratic victory in the spring cleo
ton at Cincinnati would bs of immense
advantage in the State campaign. His
decision not tJ be candidate for Gov
,rnor was, he said, irrevocable. He
could not accept nomination in US
,ics to others who desired 1t nor in JUS
,ics to himself, when his appearances
on the State ticket, if he should chance
to be nominated, would be the sigma!
for opposing forces from the East, which
would be strained to secure his defeat,
thereby hoping to cripple him in any
future ambitions he might have. He
looks back with satisfaction upon his
labors in the campaign Of last year, and
SAYS that in the election Of eleven de-
mocratic Congressman Ohio not ONLY
saved the democracy in case the presi-
dential choice should fall into the
House of Representatives, but also saw
ed the organization OF the House IT.

democratic party to be regarded as a
party Of objectors. Ten years ago,
when he first entered the Senate, there
was little else for them to do, but now

ture would be an aggressive one, and
he didn't fear the result.

The Rich California Banker.

When it became known that one OF
the richest California bankers had left
the Pacific Coast and transferred his
base of operations to the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd tinan-
ci4rs watched his course with keen in
terest to see how he would succeed,
The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having much wider and more prom
ising field to operate in, he is knoHn to
have been in several stock combina-
tions that paid immense profits. By
the combination method of operating in
stocks Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bank.

ital in any amount from $40 to $780,

draws upon the pipe giving them the
power of two sets of pipes. This is a

E,,,erson's Minst rels.

The Emerson troupe which is to per
form at the Opera House, on Thursday
evening, 18th inst, comes to us recon-
mended. Of it the Indianapolis Journal
says: Emerson's Minstrels opened
their week last night TO one OF the
largest and most select audiences OF the
season. The audience, in character
as we'll in size, was striking comment
in itself upon the high and refined ma
ture of the performance given by this
combination. Billy Emerson appeared
in his amusing specialties, and in the
midst of one of his funniest feats he
was presented with splendid floral
design in the form of Tyre, with broad
and beautiful pedestal, to which was
attached card upon which was writ
ten "Billy Emerson, from his many
friends in Cincinnati" The "Big
Four" composed OF Messrs. Waldron.
Smith, Morton and Martin, took the
house by storm. In its line their ap-
pearance was the most brilliant success
of the season. Ifyou want to see one
of the funniest and most extraordinary
performances ever witnessed, don't fail
to visit the Grand this week and inter-
view the Big Four. They are immense.
Billy Emerson as Alexander, in
"Blue Glass," kept the house roaring
and the wonderful "Ten Thousand Dol
lar Mystery concludes tirst-class
performance in every respect.
