THURMAN is not as dead as he might
be. In one contingency he would be
a strong man; that contingency is the
election of the New York electors by
the Legislature. In that case, New
York being gone, as far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned. they must turn
their attention towards carrying some
doubtful State. The most available
State, 1t is claimed by Thurman's
friends, is Ohio, and the most avail
able man to carry Ohio is Thurman.

IT is a matter of some comment on
our streets that Mr.. McDonough was
allowed to retain possession of the
bond he was compelled to give by law
for the carrying out of his contract for
building water works. Another fact
in this same connection is exciting
some attention. One of the Commits
sioners thought the bond would be
good. Now the people are intereste d
in finding out why he was permitted
to begin work without having it
definitely knoa0n that it was good.
And, again, why surrender his bond
to him when he has not fulfilled his
part of the contract? Is that busi-
ness?
