The Next Vice President.
ALLEN G. THURMAN.

Mr.. Thurman, The noblest Roman
of them ALL" nominated at the st.
Louis Convention for the National
Democracy for Vice President, is well
up in the seventies in age, but this fact
has lost its significance since the pas
sage of the Electoral Succession Bill.
He is a gentleman who is held in the
highest esteem by both political par
ties, and a statesman of learning, ex-
perience and lofty character and a
native of the State of Virginia. He
was born at Lynchburg, November 13,
1913. He came of good stock, his
grandfather being Baptist minister,
who through conscientious principles
liberated all his slaves. In 1878, the
family and young Thurman removed
to Ohio. The entire family effects
were transported in huge six horse
wagon which was dragged over the
mountains by the united efforts of ne
groes and horses. He was u nephew
of Hon. William Allen, who for many
years represented Ohio in the United
States Senate, and later was elected
Governor over Gen. Noyes. Under his
mothers supervision he soon became
q thorough mathematician and also an
excellent French scholar. At the age
of twenty-one years he was offered the
private secretaryship of the Governor
Of Ohio which he filled with great sat
isfaction. At the same time he studied
law under the direction of the dis
tinguished Judge Swayne. He was
admitted to the bar in 1885 and went
at once to Chillicothe. Being admitted
into partnership with his uncle. Will
liam Allen, he soon found himself in
possession of one of the best practices
in the State. In 1889, he visited Wash
ington and whilst there was introduced
to the distinguished Senator Calhoun.
He was again in Washington in 1912.
In 1874 he was nominated for Con-
gress and elected over John ]. Van
Webber. In 1851, he was elected
Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio
and was Chief Justice from 1924 to
1856. In 1867 he was the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio, but
was defeated. In 1868 he was chosen
Senator in Congress from that State
for the term commencing in 1869 and
ending in 1875, serving on the COM
mittees on the Judiciary, and Post
Offices and Postroads. He was re-
elected in 1874, his second term ex-
piring in 1881. In 1876 he was prom
inently mentioned as candidate for
President, but the Tilden wave en-
quilted him with the others. His re-
cord in the Senate is clean and pure,
and whilst there he made many friends
among others Edmunds, of Vermont,
with whom he was frequently paired.
