Ey'SENAToR A. q. THURMAN is in New

Mr.. Thurman said: My judgment is
that Mr.. Cleveland is growing stronger
with his party. That seems to be the
opinion i'll Ohio. At first, there was some
complaint, ! believe, because Mr.. Cleye-
land did not turn the republicans out fast
enough, but he appears to have improved
in that respect, or the democrats have be
come loss impatient, for he has steadily
been gaining i'll strength and popularity.
MIR. Cleveland has demonstrated one thing,

and that is that he Is an honest, courage
ous man, and intends to do as nearly right
rs he knows how. There is no doubt of
his sincerity and his courage"
