As To Thurston's Resfrnation.

Touching the recent declaration of
Senator Thurston at the republican
state convention, story is afioat that
he contemplates resigning his seat in
the senate if Governor Holcomb can be
induced to appoint republican as his
successor. 1t is claimed that Senator
Thurston has talked the matter over
with Senator Allen and that through
the latter the matter has been pre-
sented to the governor. Of course in
case the senator were to resign and
successor be appointed, the appoint
ment would only run to the next ses-
sion of the legislature. The reason
that political gossip assigns for this
alleged contemplated step by Senator
Thurston is that his position is too
severe strain upon his finances. He
is anxious to return to his more re-
munerative law practice.
