THURMAN's NAME PRESENTED.
Delegate Tarpey's Speech Proposing
the Great OhlOan's Name.


ST. LOUIS, June I'm proposing
the name Of Ex-senator Thurman
Delegate 1arpey said;
@That am proud OF the privilege
of addressing you acknowledge, but
that am prouder still of the man
whom | shall name / will not deny,
for 1 feel, sirs, that this republic holds
no superior to Hon. Allen G. Thurman
OF Ohio.
"Allen G. Thurmanl What epi.
tome OF American civil history is EN-.
bodied in that name! His character
and ability are known to every man,
woman and child in the land. His
public services will be a more endur-
ing monument than temples of stone
or brass, for history will insoribe his
name among the list of Americas il
lustrious sons. Large at heart, large
OF brain and larger still in experience,
he is the man OF all men whose record
justihes his nomination at your hands
in the sense that he cannot be defeated
before the people.
"His fame is not his alone it is the
proud heritage of the American peo.
pie. His name may be most fittingly
coupled with that of our honored
President Grover Cleveland, Cleveland
and Thurman will be ticket abso-
lutely invincible. 1t will sweep the
country with mighty rush, a tidal
wave of approval. Against it all op-
position will be fruitless. The ap-
proval OF Cleveland's administration
during the past four years and in.
dorsement OF his actions, the simple.
ity, yet remarkable ability, with which
he has administered his great trust un-
der the most trying circumstances, cou
pied with the all pervading afectionate
felt for the philosopher OF Columbus
will make Cleveland and Thurman a
war-cry to alright the political enemy.
The enthusiasm which will be aroused
upon its announcement will be infec-
tious, and gathering force and volume
day by day it will before the ides OF
November have become epidemic.
"They are each the fayorite sons OF
their respective States, but when AL

answer to the universal demand for
his acceptance, consents to. leave the
peace and tranquility of his freside

political and mental figure in the pub

Mrs. Cleveland to a lady friend in

Madam: Lean only say in answer to

Las ANIMAs, CoLo., Jan. l6, 1888.
Editor Bent County REGIsrER:
In yours issue of the l4;h, inst.
find the following paragraph in edi-
rorial column.
"There were two large freproof
safes in the Court House, had the
county officers used the care men do
in their private business, many of the
records would have been in those
safes aud been saved, as what hap
pened to be in them was not injured.
To state it as mild as we can, they
were very negligent of their duty,
and careless in performing the duties
intrusted TO them by the people"
Now believing you would not in
tentionally attempt to create any
wrong impression, l write you few
words hoping you will publish this
as copsplcuously as the article men
toned.
The County Treasurer had one
small safe, this was filed to its ut
most capacity, with a money drawer,
all warrants that had been paid since
July LIST, 1887, State accounts, school
orders, school apportionments and a
drawer of private papers of the
Treasurer.
The County Clerks safe was also
filed with warrant books and stubs
used since 1870. Bond record, deeds
for county property and few pri
vate papers Lelonging to the County
Clerk.
There was not room in either safe
for a single record more than it al.
ready contained, IN fact neither of
the safes were adequate to the de
mands of either Office but such as
they were they were filed with such
records, papers, money etc, as could
be got into them.
Your charge of carelessuess on
the part of the officials is wholly
wrong so far as the two safes are
concerned, thus / know of my own
personal knowledge, and l believe
yon will only be too willing to cor
rect any erraneous statement you
may without understanding have
been led to make.
Respectfully Yours,

The reform move at Denver so
far, no doubt has brought about
much good, and the good might be-
come permanency, were it not that,
as generally is the case with reform
crs, they do not know when to take
a rest, and let the new order of
things become settled fact. a few
weeks ago crusade on the social
evil was made, that was a success, if
we are TO believe the papers of that
city. Then fight was made on the
gamblers that was so successful that
they either quit the business or left
the city, as reformers they had ac-
complished i good deal for short
time and should have stopped to take
breath, but instead they now de-
clare the saloons must leave the citv,
which we think is the rock they will
break their backs on. Not that such
a thing could not be done, but simply
the whole contract is too large for
so short time.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1888-04-06
An important Matter.

Within the next month, says the
Philadelphia Press, nominations OF
candidates for the Legislature will be
made by the Republicans in some OF
the counties, and within the next
three months large per cent. OF all
the nominations for the several coun-
ties will be completed. 1t is never
too soon to give consideration to mat
tiers of such consequences as this. The
next Legislature will not have Uni
ted States to elect in the natural
course of events, but questions OF much
greater importance to the people OF
the State will be before it. These
questions are not likely to excite
such keen political interest nor serve
SO much to produce party division,
but they will be such as the Repuoli-
can party cannot trust to other hands,
and it is important that every prepa-
ration be made for Republican success
in the legislative districts.
The obligation of the party to sub.
nit the prohibition constitutional
amendment to q vote OF the people
has not vet been fully discharged, and
will not be until the next Legislature
has confirmed the action of tie last
one. No one doubts that this will he
done with Republican majority.
Every one knows that it will not be
done if the Democrats secure control
of the House. To that end Demo-
cratic effort will be directed. The
party will have the energetic assist
ance of the free liquor interest aggra-
vsted to unusual exertions by temper
ance legislation given the State by the
Legislature. This element will lend
every possible support to Democratic
candidates, and that support will be
accepted by the Democrats with full
understanding of what it is to mean
in the event of Democratic success.
The combination will have large
money resources; it will be at work
night and day, and it will require
more than ordinary vigilance and
energy to combat it. We are pleased
to note. however, that large number
of voters who have for some time vo-
ted the third party prohibition ticket,
have resolved to support the Repub-
lican candidates for Assembly, real
izing that vote for third party can
didates is, practically, half vote in
favor of the liquor interests.
1t is practically impossible to
change the political control of the Sen
ate. One-half that body holds over
With the House it is different. Every
member of that body is to be elected
this year, and the fact that the last
House had a Republican majority OF
II and the previous House of 81
should not be accepted as settling the
result. The House of 1883 had a
Democratic majority of 25, and no such
effort was made by the Democrats to
secure it as will be made this year. We
do not fear the result, but it will not
produce itself The opposition will
give its attention to the close districts.
and employ all its resources in them.
With the aid of the liquor element
they are confidently relying upon Sc
curing the most of these districts.
How far they may succeed will depend
upon the way in which their efforts
are met by the Republicans.
