AT THURMAN's HOME.
How the Old Roman Received the News
of His Nomination.

of His Nomination.
COLUMBUS, ONO, June S-The party
OF newspaper men that informed Judge
Thurman of bis nomination Yesterday
afternoon found him with history Of
Greece In his hands He laughingly said ::
"Well, I'll have to give this dear old
book up and go al more modern history
again"
In talking about the nomination he
said
"If there was ever case Of political
lightning have been struck with it to-
day. | have done nothing whatever to
get the nomination, but hope | may be
able to do something to re-elect President
Cleveland who has had the sand to do
what he believed TO be right"
One of the party said that everybody
was for him, and the opposition did not
amount to anything. Thurman replied
You are very much mistaken, young
man, about every one fsvoring my nom
nation Here is one very much against
it."
At this, Mrs. Thurmsn, to whom he al
luded, spoke up in a manner that left nc
doubt in the minds OF all rs TO how she
felt. She said they we're living in peace
and comfort, and that Mr. Thurman was
too old and was having too good time
to be brought out into politics again. Hel
emphatic discussion Of the situation
caused the Old Roman unwittingly 10
take some snuff and product his red ban
dana, when there was an uproarlous
scene. and it was found that everybody
present had the red emblems.
Governor Gray has telesraphed "Ac
cept my congratulations on your nomi
naliou. Cleveland and Thurman will re
ceive the enthusiastic support Of Indians

The Ministerial Trouble at Berlin.

BERLIN, June s-The North German
Gazette, Prince Bismarcks organ, com
menting upon the eventuality of a change
of ministry, says "Such a change would
not be of grave importance II it only re-.
suited in showing the incapacity of the
opposition. Symptoms of instability and
disunion in the ministry would be more
serious. They would serve to depress the
confidence of the friends of the ministry,
to encourage the hopes of their oppo-
nents, and to lead the latter TO conclude
that the ruling powers were no longer
what they were, while the task OF the
ministry would be especially difficult" "
The Gazette does not believe in sacrificing
the country's interest to personal feel

PREMIER BLITNE

James c. Blaine of Maine will sit in
Mr.. Harrison s cabinet as secretary of
state, say the qUid nuncs.
a statement to this effect is published, ,
based upon what appears to be reliable
authority. The tender has been made +,
the position accepted and the policy of
the Harrison administration virtually
settled-if the statement be true.
In filling the chief place in his cabinet
with Mr. Blaine the president-elect will
be considered us having been given but
little discretion. The dominant influ-
ences IN his party call for Blaine. and he
could not disregard that call without fly
ing in the face of his party ut the outset.
The effect of Mr.. Blaine's re-entrance
into politics as confidential adviser Of
the head of the government can best be
judged by looking to his past career in
that capacity.
Eight years have not been long enough
to cause the country to forget the brief
era of bray, buster and braggadocio
that was cut short by the sturdy common
sense of Chester a. Arthur. !
With Blaine in the cabinet General
Harrison 5 troublesz would be expected
to begin early and last indefinitely. How
ever, opinions may differ us TO tine quail
ty of Blaine's craftsmanship, there can
be no question of his capacity to stir up
hornets and to find boys.
John Sherman, the only formidable
rival of Blaine for the premiership of the
Harrison administration can safely afford
to trust to time to bring its sweet re-
renges, if Blaine should win the prize.
