But l didn't have to decline. Some of
my other good friends in Ohio preiu-
diced the President against me and my
closest personal friend in the senate,
Tom Bayard, was chosen"
There was sarcasm in the Old
Romans voice as he referred to the
friends" who had abused him to
Cleveland, who had said that Thur
man was in his dotage, had even said
that he was addicted to drink and cir
culated all manner of evil report about
him.
But time went on said Judge
Thurman, land l met the President
when 1 was counsel for the govern
ment in the telephone cases Perhaps
l. too. had been prejudiced against
Cleveland by the reports of him which
mad been brought to my ears by his
enemies. Suffice it to say that we be-
came the best of friends and / learned
to admire him more than any public
man have ever met. His friends and
other eminent men in the nation in
sisted in 1883 that / should be the nom
inee for Vice President
81 did not want the honor. l pre-
ferred to stay at home, but they made
me promise to say nothing and not to
say no if nominated. So they nomi-
mated the ticket, and then in Novem-
Der we were beaten. Oh, it was a
shame to beat usi A burning shame
that brave, good man like Grover
Cleveland should be beateu." The
Old Roman sighed deeply as ne recalled
the campaign of 1888.
Judge Thurman, as all call him in
Columbus, lives with his children and
grandchildren in the splendid stone
mansion, in modern style, at the
orner of Rich street and Washington
avenue. The old Thurman homestead
on High street will soon De thing OF
the-past. A new hotel, named after
the judge. will be erected on the site.
He contributed generously to the fund
for the erection of the new structure,
but did not himself care that his name
should be over the portals

A lad of about fifteen came
down from Frontier county, last Thurs
day, to take the train for Red Cloud.
During the day in walking over the city
he made the acquaintance ofthree young
buns, recent arrivals from Denver. They
learned that the lad from the country
had a little money, during their visit
with him, and determined to relieve him
of it. So just shortly before No. 4 ar
rived from the west the trio got the lad
behind the depot, and the one-armed
bum knocked him down with a bolt and
took about 81 in money from his pocket.
One of the buns was promptly arrested,
but the one-armed thug and one of his
companions escaped. Cadi Berry fined
the party brought before him S. and
costs, and he has been working on the

date the irrigation capabilities, require
ments and methods required to develope
the varied interests of this section in
that direction. How to prepare the soil
and plant the seed, for intensive farm
ing, and how to apply the water to the
growing crops, in order to obtain the
best returns together with the yield of
irrigated lands, will be among the sub
jects discussed and exemplifed by actual

The first of the week a brick crossing
was laid over south Main avenue, from
tie Citizens bank corner to the Can
schow corner. The brick and labor
we're provided by Rooney & McAdams.
We understand that the payment for the
crossing is conditional upon the work
being successful and satisfactory. And
the success of the experiment will de-
pend upon whether the bricks are suf6-
GENTLY hard and have been properly
laid. The result will be awaited with
considerable interest. A good substitute
for the expensive wooden crossings is
certainly very desirable to the city.
