Mr.. Thurman.
Republican papers and speakers have
been unable to bring against Mr.. THUR
MAN single charge which, even If true,
ought 10 cause him to lose one vote.
Tie is iuyulncrable. Knowing that he
was a Ynginian by birth and Demo
crsi Of the straitest sect 10y profession,
we feared when he was first nominated
that the Republicans might find some
thing in his war record that would
damage him in the estimation OF
good people in the northern section
Of the Union. But even under tho most
trying circumstances the grand old Ro-

even ia 1861 that can be used against

occasion 10 talk 20 the people Of Ohio on
the subject Of the war and its justifica-
ton AID iis probable consequences.
