THURMAN FOR CULTIVATE.
Suspicion Why He Opposes Brice and
Thomas.

The fight at Columbus ID all between Brice
and John II. Thomas SO far, and both are
trying to secure the help of Judge Thurman.
In an interview the ex-senator says:
1T seems to me that the main objection to
both Mr.. Brice and Mr. Thomas in the attacks
made are overlooked. and that is no matter
what are their qualifications, no matter how
purely they may conduct their canvass, no
matter if everything is apparently as clean and
white as snow, neither they themselves nor the
democratic party can make the great public
believe it. This can be said without rejecting
upon the gentlemen named.
There Is no theory, but condition with
which the democratic party is now confronted
and the great question Is: Do the members of
the legislature intend to strengthen this idea
or as far as they are able, to dissipate it,
cannot believe the democratic members of the
general assembly intend again to place our
party in the category where we have been dur
mig the past SIX years, either to crafty per-
sonal ambition or as a reward for party services
rendered The present is not the time to Sc
lect mIllionaires for the Senate. Should either
of these gentlemen be elected the tendency
could not help to be to strengthen and make
more widespread the belief that only through
the agency of money can political matters of
any kind be successfully conducted"
Don't you suppose that Mr.. Brice and Mr.
Thomas both understand and see this?" Mr.
Thurman was asked.
IF they do not neither of them is fit to be q
Senator. And if they do and still continue
(Which they will do) to fight for such an honor
they are untitled for such position"
The friends of Brice and Thomas attribute
the opposition of Judge Thurman to the fact
that he is DESTROYS of aiding Congressman
Cultivate as compromise candidate.
