SENATOR THURMAN,
The Attompt Making to Run HIN for
Governor of Ohio as Step to the
'r.eilencY.

sold that Senator Thurman, soon
after the roassembling of Congress,
will make a speech on the finances,
teking the sumo course he did in
Ohio and advocating the replacing
Of national bank notes with green
backs and prohibiting tho farther
iss o fro einn th part o tie fank ;.
Dir. Hewitt says m conversation that
! if Mr.. Tnurm IN Iuakes such u
speech h3 will answer in the II H,uss
by speaking in fnvor5of the b,nks.
H. says that if the Dom ocrats COM
NIT themselves to th4 Thurman idea
and it becomes a part of their prin~
ciples, thon he shull feel COMPEL ed
to bid gool by to the Democratic
party. He says he does not intend
to make but one speech more in
Congress aud that speech will be in
frvor of maintaining the present
national bank system. He says that
it is the best that ever was devised
and TINT it ought to be perpetuated.
In answer to Il question as to wheth-
er he had any interest," in any nation.
al bank, he answered that he did not
own u dollars worth of stock in
any bank and never was interested in
one further tn n us depositor or
borrower. He said lie could speak
without exciting the charge that
he was improperly interested. AS
for Thurm III, his friends were lit.
tie too quick in denying the fact
tlat they intenl.d to try to put
him in tho field for Governor Of
Ohio. The te ':pt is being made
ovo, y day, but jhus far the Senator
dociinos to consent, but his friends
vii continae eir efforts Tuey
now sly openly that If he resigns
II IN tho Senate, makes the canvass

W II c,re n;m the nomination f r
Pre-, dc t. in tha ncxt National Con-
;ention, ;.n iha5 slc'l coarse is
the ovly thing that will secure such
action beyond peradventure. The
Ohio Republicans are now talking
about General Garfield as the Re.
| publican candidate. With Thur
man on one sile an Garfield on the
other the campaign would be one of
the most remarkable and exciting
that ever .eeurrei in any state.
Garfield woull be much stronger
than Clur.as Foster, as the latter is
not much Of speaker, while the
frrmor is one oi tho strongest pub
ii" speakers in the country. The
p esidenS thinks that Garfield
woaii bs. the stronger candidate,
.nl he is, therefore, in favor of him
a. against Foster or anybody else.
Garfield, however, before he was
thought of US a candidate, express
ei himself favorable to Foster, but
in tne ,xigency of Thurman g nomi-
nation it would be necessary for the
strongest Republican to be uolnina-
ted, and Foster wonll have to give
way. G. srielIs dissrict is SO much
attached to him that he could, no
doubt, return to Congress after
serving q term as Governor.
TIE ELECTRIC SwrroH. Am elec~
tric switch signal has been invented
which promises to be very effectual.
BY an ingenious piece or mechanism
u danger signal is displayed exactly
similar to the section signal, if .
switch is not locked. No matter
whether it be closed OF not, it
must be locked, else the train will
be brought to standstili if orders
are followed and the signal is OBJ
served. Spring are used, and all is
connected with the battery, and il
the switch is not locked it throws
off handle, which breaks the Cir
cult and ut the same time, by a
wire, shuts it, so that no magnetism
can remain in the magnet of the
signal. The spring throws the
circuit breaker out Of connection,
likewise showing the danger signal.
By using this simple contrivance
there can be no accidents from a
misplaced switch. Only one cell Of
batteries is used on section Of a
mile and no local batteries. The
expense by this method designating
is very small, costing very little,
indeed, after it has been established.
