FORAKER ON THURMAN.

What the Governor Has to Say of the Nom-
ination at st. Louis for Vice President.
A representative of the Columbus Jour-
nal has been interviewing Governor Fora
ker on Thurman's record and strength in
Ohio. and here is what he says:
Governor Foraker, what will be the eff
feet of the nomination of Thurman for vice
president?"
Governor Foraker replied: 81 do not
think that his nomination will add any
strength to the democratic ticket in this
state, and do not know why it should in
any state. He is now not only quite old.
but apparently very infirm. This will
weaken him somewhat, but the truth is, he
never was any stronger than his party
in fact not quite SO strong. The only
time since the war that he has
been candidate before the
people was when Hayes defeated
him for the governorship in 1867. He then
ran behind his ticket. Every man OH it
got more votes than he received. The DEM
0crats got the legislature that year, how
ever, and he was sent to the senate. But it
was not his strength that carried the gen.
eral assembly. The result would have been
the same In that respect had their candidate
for governor been either Payne, PendIetOn
or Ranney. 1t was the question of negro
suffrage and the prejudice it excited that
defeated US as to the legislature that year,
and not Thurman or any other man. And so
il was that they carried the state six years
later, when they again got the legislature
and reelected Thurman to the senate. His
personal strength had nothing to do with
the result. That was the year of the Rise
up-William Allen campaign and the panic.
His election to the senate was due both
times to what were for him such fortuitous
circumstances as these. He never had any
especial strength: at this time he has less
than ever before. He will have difficulty
in commanding the full strength of his own
party. The dissent to his nomination by a
part of the Ohio delegation fairly repre-
sents the sentiment to him among Ohio
Democrats"
''Will he get any republican votes on the
ground that he is especially hOnest?"
NO" replied Governor Foraker, ''he
will not get any republican votes. He is
no more honest than most men are-or
than all men should be. and so far as his
abilities are concerned, whatever they may
be, he has at least not made much good use
of them in a political sense. Heopposed the
war, emancipation, specie resumption,
and almost everything else that has been
accomplished during the last thirty years
of which any American is proud today. He
has simply been lifelong. unfaItering
democrat of the pro-slavery, anti-war,
bourbonistic character. who has stood by
his party through good report and bad re-
port. always aiding it to the full extent of
his abilities in all its copperhead, free
trade, fiat-money and obstruction policies
and tendencies. Oh, no, indeed, he will
not get any republican votes"
