What Thurman's Sister Says.

LANCASTER, Pa, June ga representa-,
tive of the United Press called upon Mrs. G.
Reimensnyder at her.home to illicit her views
on the subject of the nomination Of her
brother, Allen G.. Thurman, for the vice
presidency OF the United States by the DEM
ocratic national convention in St. Louis.
Mrs. Reimensnyder' is the wife of the we'll
known clergyman of that NAME ~ don't
know how my sister-m-law, Mrs. Thurman,
will receive the news" she said. "She al.
ways hoped that Allen would be president.
For my own part believe it would be more
agreeable to them both to live in retirement
in Columbus. But the duties of the vice
president are not so burdensome and will
probably furnish the needed amount of ex-
ercise to keep Mr.. Thurman in good health.
It is nonsense to say that Allen is in danger
Of death. The Humans are a long-lived
family.

to evade the law passed at the late session

EDITORIAL OPINION.
What the New York Newspapers Say of the
Democratic NOMINATIONS.

What the New York Newspapers Say of the
Democratic NOMINATIONS.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Referring to the
ticket nominated at st. LOUIS The Journal
says: Cleveland and Thurman mako strong
ticket and the Republicans will have to get a
move on to beat it.
The Star says: The ticket can not be
beaten. 1t will be useless for the Republican
managers to discuss abstract questions of
political economy in the hope to confuse the
public mind as to the real issues of the cam
paign. The people understand the questions
before them. They know that there is no
question of free trade in this contest.
The World says it is q strong ticket which
the Democratic convention completed by the
nomination of Allen G. Thurman for vice
president. With President Cleveland as the
representative of the principle Of tax reduc-
ton through tariff reform, and Judge Thur
man as veteran statesman, the ticket ap-
peals to every Democratic voter in the land.
The Sun makes no comments on the nomi-
nation, but congratulates Governor Hill on
his wisdom in staying away from st. Louis.
The Herald says: Cleveland and Thur
man have been nominated. The Democrats
have selected a successful president and a
venerated statesman to lead their ticket.
Cleveland is worthy to sit in the chair of
Jefferson and jackson, Thurman to succeed
Calhoun and Van Buren,.
4. The Times says: The Democratic party
has put two able and trusted men before the
country as its candidates; we may fairly say
its two ablest and most trusted.
The Tribune utterly ignores Cleveland, but
of Thurman it says: The nomination of AL
len g. Thurman for vice president will not
strengthen the Democratic ticket where it
needs strength. 1t kindles the enthusiasm of
old-fashioned Democrats, but they would
have voted and worked for the ticket in any
case

ulity it broke even the Democratic conven-
ton records, else it could not have induced
itself to believe that it was displaying sense,
sagacity, good politics, or anything else than
transparent folly, when it penetrated its
senseless tariff plank-senseless almost to the
point OF unmitigated idocy, in that it in

Boston Newspapers.

Boston, June 9.-The morning papers
comment on the st. Louis nominations as fol-
lows: The Herald says that the convention
made no mistakes Its candidate for the
presidency is the man whom everybody
knew he would be, while its candidate for
vice president has been selected in accordance
with the general wish of the party, and he
has the general public approval as a states
man of reputation and of dignity of char
acter.
The Advertiser says that the ticket is in
deed a strange one, and stranger to all be-
cause it comes direct from the White House.
In 1884 Thurman posed as the anti Cleveland
leader. Thurman is certainly an excellent
man personally, and immeasurably superior
to the cheap politicians who aspired to Mr.
Clevelands ticket, and whom the latter dis
liked to call to his side.
The Globe says: 1t would have been inn
possible to name any other ticket that would
10 have inspired with enthusiasm the Demo-
cratic party and its valued allies. In Cleve-
land and Thurman the old Democracy and
the young Democracy are united.

He says regarding 1t: ave had two boards
one foot wide sawed of In seven feet lengths.
A foot from the upper end Of each length we
had cleats nailed across. These boards were
then placed against the side walls, at the end
of the room. A board was cut exactly as long
us the room was wide, and this WINS placed on
the top Of tho sp.::.lt boards. Another p's~
was cut, as long as the top board, rss the
thickness OF the two upright pieces. This
fitted In between the uprights, and rested ON
tht cleats, and, fitting snugly, 1t keeps the
end pieces pressed against the wall; therefore
no nails or screws are needed to hold the ar
rangement in place. We have. by this plan,
a shelf at the top on which to keep boxes and
articles which cannot be hung up. Into the
bottom OF this shelf we screwed hooks on
which garments are hung. In this way we
avoided damaging the walls by driving n
nails OF putting on hooks"
Next we made curtain which we tackled
to the front Of the top board, weighted the
bottom of it SO that 1t hangs In the proper
place always and is not blowing about to i'd
