WHAT EX-SENATOR THURMAN
SAYS OF THE SUCCESSION.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 26.-Ex Senator
Thurman was called upon to-day for
information concerning the succession
and as to who would succeed to the
presidency in the evert of Mr. Cleveland's
death Judge Thurman did not desire to
90 into an argument out OF respect to
the memory OF Mr.. Hendricks, of whom |
he spoke in the warmest terms, and his |
death the ex-senator regarded AS public |
calamity. Mr. Thurman, in speaking of |
the succession, said, ia substance, that |
"the theory of the senate is that it is
perpetual body. The senate before the
commencement o. the present vacation
failed to elect president pro tempore, as
is usually the case a few days before the
adjournment, and this failure leaves the
country without a vice president at this
time. 1t the president should die before
the 7th Of December an interregnum
would exist in the Office until the senate,
which meets on that date, should elect
president of that body, who would as
sumo the duties of the president of the
United States and continue to discharge
the same until another election for presi-
dent and vice president was held. In
the meantime the secretary of state would
notify the governors OF the several states,
who would order new election, which,
however, could pot be held until next
November. As showing how the election
of a president pro tenn. of the senate
operates, the statutes were referred to,
which showed that in April, 1879, Vice
President Wheeler absented himself and
Senator Thurman was elected president
pro tenn. of that body, holding that place
during the vacation and until December
of the same year, when the vice president
appeared, which ended Mr.. Thurman
term as president pro TEN. On April l,
1880. the vice president was again absent
and Mr.. Thurman was again elected
president pro tenn, discharging the duties
until May 6, when the vice president
returned, and this again put an end tc
MIR. Thurman's Office. Speaker Carlisle's
term as presiding officer of the house Of
representatives having expired with the
Forty-eighth Congress, leaves this place
vacant and there is no one under the
present laws who is eligible to the presi-
dency.
Judge Thurman also called attention
to the fact that an act of Congress ap-
proved March l, 1892, provides that ir
case Of removal by death, resignation
or inability of both the president ant
vice president of the United States, tn.
president of the senate pre- tempore, ano
in cs-e there shall be no president Of the
senate, then the speaker of the house O
