He Does Not See the Awful Importance of
Writing Letter About 1t.
COLUMBUS. o., Oct. at seems probable
that Judge Thurman will issue no letter of
acceptance, owing to his speech of accept
ance to the notification committee and the
extended expression of his views in his
speeches during the campaign. He
has for a long time had in mind
what he would say in case he
should write letter, but his time has
has been so fully occupied it has been i'm
possible for him to put it ON paper. He
has had considerable business to attend to
and all other time has been taken by his
callers, who keep coming steadily at all
hours. This week the Judge has to some
extent shut the door on his callers to
give time to complete his preparation
of the argument in the telephone case
While he has not stated that he would not
write letter of acceptance, Judge Thur
man has frequently remarked that he does
not see the necessity. The statement of
the early public publication of such let
ter has been made several times, but in no
case has he stated positively when it
would be, and the most of such statements
have been made by others. He will leave
for Washington Friday.
