OF democratic do. trines and demo-
cratic principles. The only obiecS
ton urged against him was that
Ohio was an October Stste. The re-
ply to tkat was that this WAS not a
State convention. but a National
convention.
The nomination Of Mr.. Thurman
was endorsed by General Durbin
Ward, of Ohio, who declared that
Onio would be the battle ground of
the presidential election The de-
moeracy could win without it, but if
the democracy carry Ohio in Octo-
Der the battle would be easily won.

speaker of the American House of
Commons, John g. Carlisle. In all
the essential characteristics of man

ism Mr.. Carlisle was the peer of any
great name that had BEEN or would
be mentioned in connection with
that name. No man carried with it
more of talismanic charm or more
of the respect of the American pso-
pie than his. He was man not to
be in for snail or selfish things He
was a man to whom dishonor was
unknown. He was one made up of
greatness, who had a victorious
birth right in his name alone. 1t
might be urged that he came from
the wrong side OF the Ohio

Limitation was ever to run that

He contrasted Carlisle and Blaine,
