General Regret Expressed at the
Death of Jud ge Thurman.

Dthtt vi IL.
In the executive departments here, where
Judge Thurman had many personal friends,
general regret was expressed at his death.
Attorney General Harmon said:
ALLEN G.. Thurman was one of the purest
and ablcst men that Ohio ever produced.
He early distinguished himself as one of
the first judges of her supreme court under
the new constitution. He came within
a few votes of being elected Governor over
r. B. Hayes in 1867. His subsequent Ca
reer is well known everywhere.
NO man in the State has ever more
fully possessed the respect and confidence
of the people, and like true Democrat, he
returned their confidence and respect, as
mis- entire public life shows. The place
in his party in Ohio which he left vaca mt
when age compelled his retirement from
active life some years ago, has never been
filled"
Secretary Carlisle said:
MY personal acquaintance with Judge
Thurman began many years ago, and as
long as he could continue to take an active
part in public affairs, our relations were
quite close and intimate. He was great
lawyer, a Just judge, and one of the most
able and patriotic legislators l have ever
known in Congress.
HE was a party man, Snd his fame al
ready constitutes a part of the traditions
OF the political party to which he belonged

being one Of the most thorough scholars
in public life. Always a great student
he had acquired early In life reputation
years he turned TO lighter subjects. He
became a French scholar, his favurite
works being those of the earlier dranIatists.
Thurman had literal genius for ma;he-
matiCs and would spend his spare moments
in working out abstruse and intricate
problems.
In the Senate Mr. Thurman was not
snowy speaker, but his speeches contained
an amount Of honiely truths expressed with
blunt forcefulness that carried conviction
with their expression. His long connec-
ton with the supreme bench Of Ohio I'M
parted to his manner certain Judicial
directneSs that was always noticeab Bile
when he addressed the Senate.
Apart from his great legal attaiBmcnts
and clearness of comprehension, his habit
count and considering them emphatically
was to a larger extent one or the sources
of his great Influence. 1t was this we'll
known characteristic that gave his words
such weight that whenever he stood up 10

Cleveland and Thurman had never met
up to the election of 1884, although Thur
man was a delegate to the convention that
nominal ted Cleveland. Soon after the in
auguration they met and at once became
In the other, and it was considered some
what strange by friends of both men that
Thurman was not slated for Cabinet po
sition This may also be traced to the REM
nants of the Payne influence.
Mr.. Cleveland wds told that Thurman was
too old: was in his dotage; that he was even
addicted to the liquor habit. and many
other things equally false were said OF him.
In 1883 Mr.. Thurman seemed to be the
most available man TO put on the ticket
with Cleveland, and. although he would
have preferred that the hoGor should go

he did not care to face the trials and hard
ships of a Pres identiaI campaign, his
friends insisted that lie should accept, and
he did so. Every one knows tie result of
that struggle, aud how Harrison and Nor.

Thurman. / am confident this country

Democratic party during the life tine CT

Secretary Herbert-"Judge Thurman was
the nucleus around whom Democracy ral-
lied at the close OF TIE war when the con-
dition of the party seemed to be hopeless.
Amid all the horrors of reconstruction the

Columbus. Dec. 12.-The following proc
iamation on the death of Alien e.. Thur
man was made tonight by Gov. Mckinley:
..Ohio has lost one of lis nobicst citi-
zcns. Alien Il. Thurman died at / o'clock
today at his home in the city of Columbus,
at the ripe age OF eigbty-two. He was -
statesman whose sturdy integrity and ex-
alted abilities were recognized not only
in his own Slate. but in every part of
the United States. As a judge of the su
rreme court of the State he was a learned
and incorrupuble interpreter of the law.
AS United States Senator he faithfully
and with exceptional honor represented
the State in the United States Senate.
He was distinguished party leader. and
stood in the front rank with the great men
who were his contemporaries.
AFTER being the recipient OF many
tonors at the hands of his party and his
countrymen. he retired to private life with
the universal respect and esteem of the
citizens of the republ md the love OF all
who bad the honor of knowing him. His
ilirstrious career is a conspicuous exam
pie of the possibilities of American citi-
zenship. and is worthy the study of the

ALLEN CRANBERRY THURMAN.


Although it is some years since A lien
e.. Thurman was an active force in the
national Democracy, nevertheless he exer-
cised a quiet influence, and his advice was
not infrequently sought. Everybody knew
that ii would be given honestly and straight
forward. For that reason his death, even
at this time, is in the nature of a loss to
the party. and will surely be regretted
by the people of the United States, who,
no matter what were their politics, ad-
mired and respected and loved the ''old
Roman and his bandanna.''
Thurman was figure in national affairs
In whom every American citizen may take
pride. If there was one trait that dis
tinguished him from nearly everybody
around him, it was his sturdy honesty,
not merely of action, but of thought He
possessed in an eminent degree the judicial
quality of mind, and when addressing him
self to the discussion of any question. never
contented himself with considering only
that side toward which his sympathies
inclined him. AS the case appeared to
him, he sought to bring out both sides of
it.
1t was this quality, together with his
not always elegant or eloquent, but in
variably clear and forceful diction, which
secured for him the respectful attention
of the Senate from the men of both parties.
And though ''he slew and spared not in
debate, yet he never wounded an adver-
sary's personal feelings. He was kindli-
ness itself, and with young and old a
favorite.
There have been abler men in the Senate
of the United States than he, but none more
triotic.

conviction, of q terribly depraved nature.
His rawlings against father and brother
were sufficient to cause doubt as to his
sanity, and his performance on the
scaffold would serve to confirm such doubt.
HIS whole conduct for the twenty-four or
forty-eight hours prior to his execution
must have warned his jailors what they had
to expect from him SO long as he would
have a chance to speak. Yet, instead OF
depriving him of that opportunity. they
banded question and answer with him TO
the edification OF the assemblage that had
gathered at that early hour to see him
hanged. 1t was sensationalism carried
to its EXTREMIST limit.
The governor had acted with conInenda-
BILE prudence in fixing the date of execu-
ton within a few days after the refusal
of new trial. Had the prison officials
been guided by his example the putting
away of Hayward would have beeW an
admirable type of the stern and swift pro-
cedure of justice. As il was, the whole
awful act of execution was invested with
a lurid. melodrainatic tinge, and the only
things missing were red lights and slow

the Success of The Times.
That Tie Times is above all other papers
the newspaper of the people OF the District
of Columbia is again demonstrated by the
remarkable Increase of circulation during
the past week shown in the attached state
meut. Advertisers who have during the
past year made contracts with The Times
on the basis of the circulation which 1t
had at the time made, are continually reap
ing the benefits of its steady and astound-
ing growth.
There are excellent reasons for this in-
crease in popularity which The Times has
euioyed Ii has continued to speak hon
estIy, openly and fairly on every public
question. Its detractors and enemies are
ouiv those whose selfish interests have been
attacked for the public good.
The experiment, absolutely unique in
Journalism, of publishing sixteen page
paper in two parts for less than the price
of any other one Washington newspaper has
been a wonderful success. The news OF
the day is delivered fresh from the presses
and reaches readers within one to twelve
hours of its occurrence. and is always just
twelve hours ahead of its competitors. No
wonder The Times grows.

DARK HORSE FROM IOWA.

Walks Away from Baltimore with The
Trophy for Wing Shooting.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 26-Fred Gilbert, o
dark horse in the race, who halls from
Spirit Lake, Ia, won the Dupont cup, tho
wing championship Of the world, and fat
purse In the pigeon shooting tournament
which came to an end here yesterday after
noon. 1t Is said that Gilbert never entered
tournament before in his life, but he
shot like q veteran, thus repeating the per-
forInance of John G. Messner, of Pitts
burg, who won the grand American
handicap Of 1876, although it was his first
tournament.
McAlester, the well-known wing shot,
who formerly lived in Philadelphia, but
now lives in Baltimore, was Gilbert's most
dangerous competitor, as no others than
these two killed twenty five straight birds.
Captain Jack Brewer, the veteran New
Yorker, came very near it though, as he
did not fall down until the last blrd of the
twenty-five got away from him. Then he
lost his temper and missed his second bird
in the shoot of for third and fourth
money, and got nothing.
