COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2S-The men,
bers of the Democratic committee ap-
pointed to notify ex-senator Allen G..
Thurman of his nomination to the Office
of vice president, arrived in this city
this morning in a special train, but it
was afternoon before anything was
done. The committee was appropri-
ately received by committees of local
Democratic clubs and was grandly en-
tertained. 1t was fine body of men,
and all the regular committee were
present except the representatives from
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Kansas,
Maine, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Virginia, Arizona and New
Mexico. Accompanying the committee
also were Gen. P. A. Collins, of
Massachusetts,, and Hon. S. M. White.
of California. At l o'clock the COM
mittee started for Judge Thurman's
residence, and it was announced that
the meeting would be in that portion
occupied by his son. The party was
received in the north reception room
of A. W. Thurman's residence, which
had been bedecked with flowers and
plants. Gen. Collins and Mayor Jacobs,
of Louisville, stationed themselves at
the head of the room in front of the
window, the other members of the COM
mittee and the various gentlemen pres
ent having arranged themselves in a
semi-circle, awaited the entrance of
Judge Thurman, who speedily made
his appearance from the drawing room
ON the south. Judge Thurman was
greeted with burst of applause as he
came forward leaning on the arm of his
son, A. w. Thurman. 1t was
AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT
and one we'll calculated to accompany
the scene about to be completed. As
soon as Judge Thurman had taken his
seat and bowed to the gentlemen stand
ing ready to receive him., Gen. Collins
advanced, and, after shaking him by
the hand, spoke as follows:
Sir: 1t has become the highly agree
able duty of this committee to inform
you that upon the first ballot of the ma
tional Democratic convention, held re-
Gently in the city of st. Louis, and rep
resenting every state and territory of
the Union, for the purpose of selecting
candidates for the presidency and vice
presidency, you were unanimously
chosen as the
NOMINEE OF THAT GREAT PARTY
for the eminent and responsible office of
vice president of the United States.
"Judge Thurman, we bear message
from the great council of our party. 1t
is but formal notice of your nomina-
/ ton by that body for the high office of
vice president of the United STAGES.
Rich as our language is in power and
expression, it contains no words to ade-
quately convey the sentiment of that
convention as its heart went out to yOu
/ present my friend, the Hon. Charles
D. Jacobs, mayor of Louisville"
Mr.. Jacobs, who is a gentleman of
exceedingly handsome appearance
stepped forward, and in an earnest
voice read the following formal letter of
notifications:
To the Hon. Allan G. Thurman, of
Ohio:
In thus spontaneously and emphatic
ally demanding return to that polit-
ical arena which you graced with so
much wisdom. dignity and vigor, the
Democracy of this country have hon
ored themselves by relieving their
party from the charge of ingratltude,
and believe that in November next the
people will efface such a taint from the
| republic by electing you to preside
over the most august deliberative
body in the world the senate of the
United States. [Applause.l Should so
| desirable conSummation be achieved,
then, indeed, could every lover of his
| country, regardless of party or creed,
| rejoice that in you is embraced the high.
| est type of the enlightened and refined
| American citizen, and that no matter
| what the crisis might be, this
GOVERNMENT WOULD BE SAFE
in your hands. [Applause.] An en-
| crossed copy of the platform of princi-
| pies, couched in language that admits
of no doubt and adopted without dis
senting vote, is; herewith presented.
| In discharging their trust, this COM
mittee desires to convey to you assur-
ances of the most profound esteem and
cerest good wishes for your happiness
and prosperity.
We have the honor sir. to be your
obedient servants, Patrick Collins.
