When any proposition was nadl
In congress for Q debaDed coinaGl
Of diver or for Q NGhtWeiGht
dollar, not one DeDoeHAt dove love-
and 0ooper than this aGmO Allan
Thurman, IN order 70 catch The votes Of
The thousands Of people IN Ohio and
elsewheTe, who were supposed - favor
anything GOOD or bod in The form Of
currency. Dan VOORHEES, and he Wers
often found voting together for the
EXTREMIST and widest financial measures
which could b proposed. This was The
moro astounding 70 the country, b.
cause this same Allan Thurman had
previously often placed his votes on
the same record and on the same side Of
finance ~ that Of John Sherman, our
present secretary Of the treasury. Those
who heard Thurman speak In the senate
were convinced that Re was not honest
In his expressed convictions, but that be
was playing - base . game for the pred.
dency, - American politician ever
engaged In.
The industrial interests Of the country
will also never forget that be more than
any other Democratic senator, urged Q
number Of measures 1t the Gloss OF the
March session in 10 which prevented
the passage Of the appropriation bills,
and thus enforced the call for IN extra
session Of congress; and Of late he has
frequently advocated Q monstreus doc.
trine that congress had the right to
compel the president to sign the repeal
Of q law obnoxious to that body, but
which the president approved, BY with:
holding supplies 70 carry on the national
administration In order TO please his
southern supporters he urged congress TO
refuse supplies until the president had
consented to the repeal OF the present
federal election law, which law 10 an
O special grievance to the rife and shot
gun clubs in the southern states. He
failed In this congressional bull doing
through the frmness of President Hayes.
Thurman has also surrounded himself
with some of the most disreputable poll
ticians In Ohio, with persons Of such
reckless and unprincipled characters In
political cheating, Chat no high-ninded
statesman would have any associations
with them. Pendleton has been bad In
finance, but his associations are respect
able. Thurman has become equally
bad In finance, but his associations are
discreditable. II 10 o blessed thing for
the country that the political career Of
this man Il ended.

We believe also there 10 . God In poll.
