NRw York, June a6.-The Sun has
the following telegram from Columbus:
"R spublicans organs have asserted that
Thurman spst upou the ticket and de-
clared that he would neither vote or
work for it, aud that he would vote the
republican ticket. A reporter went to
his house this afternoon and inter
viewed him on the subject.
HE WAS VERY wRoTH,
and said: "You may say upon my au

OF course, Ii is we'll known that was
anxious to see General Darbin Ward
nominated This was largely because
l felt that an unselfish and heroic dem.
ocrat was entitled to, the honor and the
reward implied by nomination for
governor by the 0hio democracy in
1888. For, mark you, the nomination
is equivalent to an election
"Do you think so p
Il haven't the slightest doubt of it."
said the senator, aud he emphasized
his remarks by striking his hickory
cane violently on the ground. the
mere personality OF the candidates
amounts to but little in the campaign.
IT Is THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
that is strong, not its candidates"
do you regard Mr.. Hoadley as the
strongest candidate that coSld have
been nomiusted?"
Frankly, no; but he is not weak be
cause the democratic party is strong.
BY heavens, sir, when you look nj the
high-handed robbers among the repub
licau leaders, and see them yiudicated
and serenaded by the residuary lega-
tees oftheir criminal conspiracies, and
reflect that nothing stands between the
people and the absolute spoliation of
the government but the democratic
party, it Is easy to understand why
republican party has become practi-
cally irresistible"
Then you anticipate democratic
victory in Oaio this fall2'
Yes sir. l would have made diff.
ferent ticket if the matter had been
lett to me; but that is neither here nor
there. A party is only successful when
it is stronger than its leaders. The ac--
quittal OF the star route eonspirators
has driven thousands of honest repub-
icans into the democratic ranks, and
the accessicns will continue.

SpoiIsmen RepuIsed.

A DTGNIFIED DISSERTATION ON THE LOT
BY NEWSPAPER THAT Is NOT AN
ORGAN.
ST. PAUL, June 26.-The Pioneer
Press, referring to the disgraceful
scramble of spoil,men that is just now
going on in Washington, editorially re-
pulses the Minnesota members that a-e
engaged in it in this Language: SIT seems
that it is not the new Minnesota con-
gressmen alone who are disposed to
make the most of their last chance to
dispense official patronage before the
civil service reform law gses into effect.
Washington is full of newt .dged mem
bsrs on the same errand, and the de-
partments are beseiged for places to
pay Political deb:s as they never were
before. There does not seem to be any
virtuous resistance on the part of heads
of departments to this onslaught. The
result is, that the members of the civil
service commission will have sine
cure for the fst few months of their
effic;al existence. Every vacancy will
be filled, and every officer il is possible
to crowd out viii be crowded ont and
replaced with a tenacious barnacle OF
the cid sort. Il is not very
profitable to preach or lament
over this concition of things. Il was
inevitable when the civil service bill
passed, and it was not to be expected
that
THE PRESENT TADMIEI-TRATIoS
would do anything to prevent or alter
IL. 1t Ia even doubtful whether this
slaring exhibition of the worst feature
and tendencies of the spoils system, In
defiance of the public opinion which
drove congress to pass the civil service
law, will not arouse that public senti-
| ment to . more vigorous activity and
vigilant supervision Of the execution
| of the law, and thus finally secure bet
ter results from il than would other

Mr.. RiaiSe's A mhtiOn.

WASHINGTON, June ga writer in
the Capital to-day says he has learned
in the last fortnight that James G.
Blaine has been quietly taking stock OF
his spoliticsl strength and resources,
to use his forces to the best advantage
in the states where elections occur this
fall, IN order to get them we'll in hand
by the next national convention.
yIsoRoUs FOREIGN POLICY
will be the doctrine upon which he
means to make his fight, and this is iu-
tentionaly outlined in the chapter of
his work that he has permitted to see
the light. His eulogy on Jefferson for
the Louisiana purchase shows the
bias ana direction of his thoughts
and plans. The writer was assured
by an intun 1to friend of NJ. Blaine
that the latter had long looked forward
to the establishment of a mighty en-
pire by combining Mexico with the
United States, and that the first step
toward such q movement was taken
when he proposed to invite delegates
from the Central American states to
meet here, with a view of considering
whether these states could not be gath
cred together under one central gov
ernment. Could Blaine extend our
southern boundary by peaceful meth
ads to the Rio de la Plata, Jetferson's
great stroke would be a b2gatelle be-
side it.
CONSIDERABLE COMMENT
is caused by the plea for delays on the
part of the department of justice in
the various suits pending il Washing
ton. Mr.. Ker urged the judge so siren
uously for more time in the Kellogg
case that his honor rallied him upon
it, asking quizzically whether the gov
ernnent bad not yetrecovered its con-
fidence from its recent defeat. 1t was
rumored that the cause Of Mr.. Ker's
plea for a postponement was that
HIS PAY WAS RUNNING ALONG,
and he wanted to consume as many
days as possible. This can not be the
case, however, from the position of the
encouragement in the case of Hallet
KilbourRe for damages for illegal i'm
prisonment by the sergeant at-arccs of
the house Representatives Mr.. Bre W
ster says he wants the trial put over
because his appropriation for special
counsel fees has been exhausted.
What he needs special counsel in this
case for is the most singular part Of it.
because the question of law has been
decided, having been carried to the
supreme court. The pending trial is
simply to fix the amount OF damages,
the verdict of 100000 having been
set aside as exorbitant. The fact re-
mains, however, that Mr.. Brewster
with his regular assistants, about a
dozen in number besides the district
attorney, urges as good reason for
postponement that he has no money
to hire more lawyers. 1t is source OF
amusement to the local bar, and raised
the query, "What is Corkhill here for

Assisted Emigration.

DUBLIN, June 26.-The lord ieuten-
ant, replying to an address presented
to him at Limerick, deprecated forced
emigrstion. He believed careful aid
to emigrants having prospect of sue
cess abroad was beneficial, both TO them
and to the districts which they leave.
He regretted the necessity for the pas
sage Of the crimes act which was dis
tasteful both to parliament and the
government, but ne abhorred crimes
which render it necessary. In con-
clusion, he said he rsjoiced greatly
that respect was now paid to Law
and order throughout the land.

THEY WILL QUARREL TO-DAY AT DEs
MONIES.
DEs MONIES, June 26.-The city is
swarming tonight with delegates to the
republican convention. There will be
bitter fight over the prohibition plank,
Governor Sherman will also be nomi-
mated. The instructions for his renom-
ination, and all the present state Off
GERS, with the single exception of JUS
tice Day of the supreme court, are very
pronounced and emphatic. A fight
has been made upan Judge Day for the
single reason that he sided with the ma
iority of the supreme court in declaring
the prehibitory constitutional amend
ment void because of informalities in
its passage through the general assem-
bly,. No other -eason has or could be
alleged against him, and this fight has
assumed the character of vindiclive,
personal warfare. The radical prohi-
bitionists of the party hare banded to-
gether and by well planned efforts have
succeeded in generally controlling the
primaries and through them the coun-
ty conventions throughout the state.
The result is an overwhelming defeat
of Day, only 43 OF the 844 delegates
being Instructed for him. There are
four or five other candidates in the
field, but the contest lies be ween sena-
tor McGill and Judge Reid, with chanc
es fayoring the former. The fight in
Iowa this year will be upon the ques-
ton Of prohibition, and it promises to
be sharp and closely contested.
