A THURMAN VOTE.

Since there has been such "whoop-up"
over the nomination of Judge Thurman,
and he is thrown into contrast with such a
man as Morton, who came to the aid of
the Government and secured the floating
of its bonds when half the world was do
ing its utmost to depreciate our credit it
will be worth while to inquire how
Thurman stood on financial questions.
In 1869 a bill was introduced in Con-
gress that passed by large majorities
and became a law by President Grants
approval, declaring that the faith of the
United States was solemnly pledged to the
payment, in coin or its equivalent, Of all
the greenbaclzs, as well as of all the bonds
except those which the laws authorizing
their issue expressly provided should be
paid in other money than coin. The ma
ton approved that bill. National honor
hinged upon its becoming law. No other
act did so much to strengthen the credit of
the United States. In the Senate seventy
four Senators voted upon it, all in favor of
the bill except thirteen; of these Allen
q. Thurman was one. Yet that law laid
the foundation for fiscal policy that es-
tablished the credit of the Government,
proved the honesty of the United States,
augmented greenback values, advanced the
market value of the Governments prom
ises to pay, and made resumption easily
possible,w ithout single jar, or cloud,
or the slightest overcast of the business
and financial skies of the country. Yet
against these Mr.. Thurman voted, and to
this day no man has been able to satisfac-
torily explain that vote.

IT will not be at all surprising to wit
ness, early in this campaign, revival of
the symbol weaponry of the old Harrison
and Tyler campaign of 1S40-the log
cabin, hard-cider, coon and Tippecanoe
emblems and cries. 1t so happens that
Mr.. Cleveland's life has been so uneventful
that it furnishes no incident that can be
seized upon to satisfy the sentimental and
symbolic taste of the campaigner General
Harrison, aside from having been gallant
soldier, has lived quiet and studious life.
He began poor, has always labored hard,
has gratifed reasonable tastes, and has a
modest home and income. He has not,
therefore, except in his brilliant military
career, anything upon which the campaign
enthusiast can seize with view of making
it partisan fetch. But the life of his
illustrious ancestor was rich in thrilling
incident and heroic adventure, and that
these should be brought to the front once
more in honor of his descendant is natural.

In the House on Thursday, in Committee
Of the Whole, while considering the Mills
Cleveland Democratic tariff bill, Wise of
Virginia, Democrat, declared that the
bill was at cross purposes with the Demo-
cratic platform in 1884, which promised to
remove the internal tax from tobacco and
whisky. Mills attempted to evade this
thrust, but was driven to admit that the
bill does not comport with the 1884 plat
form declaration, since its theory is the
retention of the war taxes upon liquors.
Later on Mr. Mills consented to prunes
and plums being stricken from the free
list, a concession that directly touches the
vital principle of the bill, and amounts to
an admission of its i'll construction. But
the House refused to strike out figs, the
growing of winch is one of the most pro-
missing industries of California, or chicory,
of which we row,sufficient for all the coun-
try. The next moment, however, it con-
sented to omit marble from the free list, as
also ground plaster of Paris These are
but examples Of single days inconsist-
encies in the fashioning of the bill.

why Blackburn, Vest
and erDernoorats
D1d not Interrupt
Ingalls,.
Washington Special to Indianapolis Journal
Just before the Ingalls, Voorhees.:
debate opened in the senate, on Tues
day afternoon, il was reported aroundi
the capitol that Senator Blackburn
was ''loade1 for the man from Kan
sas," and that he was anxious for an,
opportunity to. participate in the af
fray. 1twas noticed during the early
part of the debate that Blackburn,
squirmed nervously in his seat andl
evinced the keenest interest. Three
or four times he vas on the point of
rising to put in his oar but WIS ad-
monished by senators around him to-
keep quiet. The senator from Ken
tueky could scarcely contain himself
when ingalls, made broad intima-
ton about Confederate brigands and
banditti, raiders and guerrillas and
the crime there was in sending cloth
ii ing infected with deadly disease INTO,
families of innocent people to destroy
their lives, etc. The face of the
Kentuckian bianched, and he gritteG
his teeth. He said not word, how
ever. Presently note was brought
to Senator Blackburn by a doorkeep--
er. He took it and read it nervously,-
and after that sat back IN his chair
and watched the proceedings with
intense interest and extreme nervous
mess, but made no effort at any time
to offer reply or to engage in the.
proceedings. Dnring the awful can
nonading and the discharge of pain
full loads of facts by Ingnlls, and at
a moment when the sensation in the
senate beggared description, the SEN
ator from Kentucky left his seat and
retired to the cloak room. Those
who saw him were amazed, as they
expected HIM at every moment to-
spring to his feet in defence of his
helpless friend from Indiana. A.
friend of Senator Blackburn explains
why he did not engage in the debate.
He says that the note that the sena-
tor received was from a, very dear
friend on the outside, who begged
him to say not word at the hazard
Eof his reputation. He said that In
gals was loaded to the .mazzle for
him, having secured oertihed copies,
of his war record, and that he wor Hl
ruin him (Blackburn) if he took any
part.
There were also exclamations of
surprise heard from the lips of people.
: in the galleries and about the senate
at the time of this furious fusilade,.
over the extreme quietude of Mr..
Turpie, Senator Voorhees, colleague
from Indiana, Many of Turpie's
, Democratic friends declared that he-
would up-end himself and extinguish.
the senator from Kansas, but Mr..
'Turpie said not word. 1t now be-
comes clear why he was SO quiet.
Senator Ingalls, was loaded to the
! muzzle for Mr.. Turpie also. He
), would have placed him in the same
copperhead category and despicabe
role in which he arraigned Voorhees,,
), and he had documents over Turpie's j.
own name in his possession to prove
his assertions.
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and
Senator Vest, of Missouri, were also
= remarkably quiet on this occasion,
and it develops that they We're fore
warned by friends who learned
that the senator from Kansas
!, was likewise prepared to club them
if they arose to interfere.

DIVET S10Ns OF A DIPLOMAT IN TURK El
By :. g.. Cox. Charles l.. Webster u Co


D1yEt sIoNs OF A DIPLOMAT IN TURKEY.
NV York.
Mr.. Cox is the author Of varied and In
teresting collection Of volumes, but he has
written nothing fresher and brighter than
his last work. It is probably the most
brilliant and enduring feature OF his mission
to Turkey, and II he had done nothing
more II would be an ample return for his
appointment.
The "Dlvereions of a Diplomat" which,
by the way, Is most fellcitous title, con-
sists Of nearly zoo pages aud 81 chapters. IL
ID printed on beautiful paper and is pro-
fusely and happily illustrated. The. titles
Of some OF the chapters will indicate the
character OF the ground the author has gone
over. He first tells OF his arrival in Con
stantinople, and in the third chapter gives
by the sultan. Following are chapters on
"Social life In Constantinople," "The
origin, power, and fall of the Janizarles,n
"Salient features OF the Ottoman empire"
"Turkish language and literature" TURK
fish wit and bumor," "The eunuch and other
incidents OF the harem," "Slavery--lts con
dItions and mltigatlons," "Mahometan
"American Institutions In Turkey" "Rs.
sources OF Turkey-taxatlon, brigandage,
and finances" "1s reform possible In
Turkeyp
These are but few OF the subjects
treated, but they give an inkling OF the
wide and exhaustive range Of the author,
Mr.. Cox must have been very busy In the
collection Of his facts, for while he has the
gossipy quality be has also the faculty OF
imparting a great deal Of useful informa
tion. Heis close observer, remembers all
he tees and hears, and remembers with ac-
curncy. But the ceaseless charm Of Mr..
Cox Is the genial glow OF a subdued humor
that he imparts to every subject that ut all
admits OF It. And unless he has the oppor-
tunity TO display this better side OF his ma
ture be is not bimself, and therefore not at
his best. This is why "The Diversions OF
DIPLOMAT is a far better book than the one
he wiote about an epoch In the political
history Of this country, with which he was
acquainted through bis services In Congress
In bis latest work he is thoroughly at home.
There is Infinite room fUr the play OF his
kind, sympathetic, good .humored nature
We can well afford TO forgive his over
frienlliness to the sultan aud his rotten.
borough OF an empire for the sake OF his
delicious pictures OF the Turks and Turkish
life. And perhaps II Is just us well that
something now and then should be written
of Turkey In q friendly vein for nearly al!
that Ia written is the other way.
Mr.. Cox's style is so familiar TO every.
body that we need not quote any specimen
paragraphs from his latest work to illus
trate II, but we can most sincerely and
heartily advise everybody to read "Tho
Diversions Of a Diplomat" and can say
with confidence that 1t Is not only the
latest, but best book the author has written

ursh the beginning Of the business of

Of the public to the NATIONAL REruBII.
CAN. Published at the capital of the ma
tion, the paper is entitled to all that its
name implies, 1t is 'nationaW and II Is
"Republican" in the best and broadest
sense Of both these words.
During the coming year will be settled
the contest over one OF the gravest ques-
tions ever submitted to the sufrrages OF
the American people. President Cleve-
lands message TO the !ftieth Congress has
definitely placed the Democratic party In
favor Of the British policy of free trade,
with tarilr for revenue only, and the in.
quisitorial internal revenue tax.
The Republican party has made its record
IN favor Of THE AMERICAN POLICY or PRO
FICTION TO AMERICAN LABOR. The Ma
TIoEAL REPUBLICAN will advocate that
.uollcy intelligently and effectively. 1t
CQl show SO plainly that she who runs
may read and even fool can understand"
that 1t is through this Republican policy of
protection that the country has become
great, rich, and pOwerfu-that to continue
it will make the country still greater,
richer, and more powerful, and that to dis
continue 1t will bring disaster upon all Sec
tions and all the people,
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, will alyo.
cate The free coinage Of silver, thus giving
natural expansion and healthy growth to
the currency Of the country commensurate
with the growth and population Of It's in

twill advocate the repeal OF the tobl,ag
taxa relic of war taxation, and an illog'-
cal, vicious, and unnatural method of rais-
ing revenue. 1t will favor the repeal OF the
vexatious tax upon fruit braudlas. IL will
favor liberal improvements for Our rivers
and harbors, improved coast defenses, a
new navy, every effort to increase our mer-
chant marine, liberal national aid TO public
schools, and, in short all things that Will
benefit the people OF the country,
For the District Of Columbia, the beauti.
ful city OF Washington, which Is its birth
place and home, the NATIONAL REpuBMcAN
will do all that an intelligent Interest IN It's
affairs makes possible, The Memorial
bridge, the long delayed AQueduct bridge,
the Eastern branch bridge, better roads,
better schools, aud more Of them, improved
streets, Mount Vernon avenue, and every
other good thing that will contribute to
build up and beautify Washington will be
aided by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
AS a newspaper, giving IN the most con-
else and readable form all the news Of the
world, the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, stands
without q superior anywhere and without a
peer in the District. The citizens Of Wash.
iugton will find In lts pages complete epi
