TelograDhic.-Amorican News. Washington, July 19.?Judge Thur man had an interview with the reporter of the Baltimore Oazctle. He is repre? sented as saying in effect: Tho Demo? cratic party of Ohio, is divided on the Presidency question. Tho financial opening of the Columbus platform should be regarded only as local opinion. It is unjust to charge on this account that the Democratic party is a national organiza? tion. There are inflationists in both po? litical parties. It is true, serious errors havo been inserted in the platform; I did my best to avert the threatened evil, but because others disagreed with me, I see no reason why I should bolster up tho Republican partv. Tho errors com? mitted in Ohio can bo corrected. They need not be an excuse for greatei ones. The Republican party of Ohio is also divided on the currency question. The financial plank in their platform can be construed to mean either hard or soft money. Replying to the charge that he evinced a lack of moral courage for not denouncing the inflation platform of the Columbus platform at tho ratification meeting, he said the place and timo were not opportune. It is great injustice to condemn one for opinions never uttered. I have said or done nothing to warrant tho grave charges brought against me. My record in tho Senate is before the country, and on that record I yet stand. I am to make my first sjpeoon of tho campaign at Mansfield, Ohio, July 31, and shall then announce my disagree? ment with the finanoial pro vision' of tho flatform, and throughout the campaign shall cay nothing to disoredit the con? nection's of a lifo.-timo. i MuacooEE, I.

Tho com mi tt c appointed some weeks since to visit the different manu? facturing towns of New England reported that the cotton business was in an un? usually depressed condition, and that tho wages paid operatives in Fall River were considerably in exoess of other manufacturing centres.

The Postmastor-General has requested the Attornov-Gcneral to designate coun? sel to attend to the application ponding in the United States Circuit Court in New York for a mawlamua to compel the postmaster at New York to receive a book package for mail transmission to Phila? delphia at the old rates. The Postmaster General says he knows but little of tho merits of tho case, further than than tho postmaster was acting in the line of his duty in accordance with the law. Judge Spence, Assistant Attorney-Genend for the Post Office Department, says there may be somo plausible ground for the position taken by tho plaintiff in this case, but that a decision in favor of the mandamus would greatly confuse the ser vioe, as there were several important amendments in the law which originated in the Senate?among them the new law concerning the postago on newspapers and of publications; all of which would bo thrown back upon the old law, if the mandamus should be granted. ?jjjTho Star has good authority for say? ing that Judge Fisher remains Dist.net Judge.
