a military band were among the arrivals
OF the day.
A well-detlned rumor is current to the
effect that numerous communications
have passed between the friends oil Judge
Thurman, who are here, and other
friends at Columbus, and that it has
about been decided that unless the solid
support of the Ohio delegation is pledged
and guaranteed the Judge, he will abso-
lttely and unqualfiedly refuse to allow
his name to be presented. In this event
Gov. Gray viii be largely in the lead, but
Thurman's Withdrawal would, it is
thought, bring Stevenson into prom
inence and make him a good second. One
of the leading anti-Thurman Ohio dele
gates said:
eve shall caucus in the morning and
VIII then know definitely what we shall
do. We went to see whatthe other dele
cations are doing. we don't want to
start without solid support for the Judge

my canvass Tor governor, in 1884. AS to
the 'know-nothing' story, l can only say
what salt then, in the joint debate with
my competitof-that il is a campaign
f~alsehoed, and it was so proved by the aft
davits of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, man of whom had known me,
personally, nearly all of my lifetime, and
some of them since | was a boy of Ia.
1t was also refuted, without solicitation
on my part, by a statement published
and signed by every foreign-born citizen
of the city of my home.n
In response to a question, referring to
the charge made by the Washington
Fost, that during the wal he had
allowed his command to sack a southern
newspaper Office, the governor warmly
denounced it as being maliciously false,
characterizing it as being cut from the
same piece of cloth as the 'know-noth-
ing" charge.
Looking up a newspaper file of 1884.
the correspondent found that during a
joint debate with his competitor (Calkins)
for governor, he was interrupted by
"Gray, give MS your know-nothing
record.n The governor sprang UP like
q wildcat aud exclaimed: 1.-THE man
who says that / ever was a 'know-noth-
ing is a liar and q coward" The
newspaper files also revealed that the
charge was met by over 100 f%oreign-born
citizens, of Union City, who united
IN a letter and said, under date of Sept.
10, 1884:
ave, the undersigned, foreign-born
citizens of Union City Cndiana) and
vicinity, who have personally known
Isaac p. Gray, for many years., and some
of IS during mis- entire thirty years
residence in this city, in reply to the
charge of ACKNOWLEDGMENT now
being circulated against him, desire to
say that no man is more free from in
tolerance and proscriptiye principles
than Isaac P. Gray. He has at all times, |
when proper, in his public and private
utterances, denounced everything like
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and religious pro-
seription of every character"
In the same letter, 1t is noted that the
governor appeared voluntarily and
promptly in court, to defend a Catholic
school teacher, against whom a charge
had been made growing out of sectarian
prejudice. Then follow in this con-
nection fifteen atlidavits made by
citizens of Ohio aud Indiana of both
parties, proving conclusively that the
stknow-nothing' charge was false.

ILLINOIS STATESMEN.
Gen. Black still a Candidate-other Am

Gen. Black still n Candidate-Other Am
bilious Suckers.
Gen. John G. Black states that not
withstanding the refusal Of the Illinois
Democratic convention to instruct for
him for vice president, he is still a IAN
didate, as earnest and as hopeful as ever.
He says that no instructions were given
the delegates, because 1T would have been
embarrassing to do so. Three candidates
from Illinois being represented in the
convention, the proper thing to do was
just what the convention did, viz, to in
struct for no one at all. Gen. Blacks
friends say this leaves him just as much
O. favortte in Illinois as before, and that
he will get his full share of the delegates
when the time comes, Notwithstanding
the fact that Col. Morrison and Mr..
Ewing, the law partner of Gen. Steven
Sol, are members of the delegation.
s'tIt the national convention intends TO
nominate for the vice presidency" they
argue, a. Union. soldier whose patriotism
Is evidenced by the wounds he bears,
Gen. Black is the man If the Demo-
cratic party wants another sort of can
didate, it can not be Gen. Black
They therefore urge upon the Demo
cratic leaders the necessity Of nominat-
ing u patriotic physical wreck" or else
lose the chances of securing o large por-
ton of the soldier vote. Mr.. Black may
therefore be said to be slightly disig-
ured, but still in The ring" and his can
yass will be continued with undated en-
ergy. Col. Morrison, while apparently
pleased with the result of the Illinois
convention, SO far as 1t defeated Gen.
Blacks plan to capture the instructions,
placidly maintains an indifference as
to his candidacy. "I have had no
reason to change my opinion expressed
