SKETCH OF ALLIS G. THUEMAN.
Allen C. Thurman was born at Lyn. hV.irg. Vir?
ginia, November 13, 1818, th- son of a Iiaptlst min?
tier, who. on getting rid of his slave- and acquiring
notions hostile to the ?? jocular institution" o the Old
_/*nm!nion. found . ..<? of Ml p-r
It.nal comfort to remove with his family In 1815* to
Ohio, where he settled a- Chlilicothe. The boy Alb-n
waa sent to school at tbe Chilllcotho Aca<lemy, and
was reckoned a very clever scholar In mathematics.
At the same time he leal ned French and snail taking
from a Trench emigrant who had wandered thither, and
Mtataed ,-r-eat paMaaaj In loth. After leaving the
academy be studied law lor tliie* years In the olhre
of h.. uncle. William Allen, At the aye of twenty-ono
he became th" private seci-etary of Governor Lucas, and
a.* the same tire* continued his legal studies in the
office of Judge Swayne. In l-."3 lie was admitted to
the bar and was takea as a partner by bis uncle, Will?
iam Allen, who soon went Into politics and left all
the business In young Thurman's hands. Four years
later he made a trip to Waaklagtaa fur his health and
mai introduced by his uocia to many leading statesmen
and politicians.
Mr. Thurman was ele-*ted as a Democrat. In 1844. to
r-'l'iesent the Chlllicoth*- D.strlct In the XXIXth Con?
gress, William Allen and Thomas Corwin being then
.senator, from that State, and Joshua Giddings and
Potx-rt C. ?ebnateh be*, rig In the delegation ol Repre?
sentatives. At the end of bis term be went back to
his la'.v-otticc. Ia ii*oi the Democrats elected bim a
Justice of the Ohio Supreme Com for a term of four
years, and during the last two years of lt ho was
Chief Justice. Again he retired to private life, where
he remaiiie-I all tbiough the stirring years of the J
-Slaveholders' Itebellion. At the close ol the War lie |
returned to poiirical life. In IM7 ha ran for the Gov?
ernorship ot Ohio and was beaten by Rutherford B.
Hayes. But a Ijemocratie Legislature was chosen and
lt sent him to the Pallal States Senate in place of
r?jamln F. Wade. He took his seat in March, 18fiO,
and. b. :.g re-elected, served until March, ld?l. He
occup.el a comma: ding position on the Democratic
S.'de of the -x-nar.-, ead was highly esteemed by all his
colleagues for his amiable personality, high character
and aadoaMed ability.
(since i-.;s Mr. Thurman has been a standing candi?
date for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
HW p<liti-al lui -rests wei*e for j ears managed by the
famous dh.o '-boss." John g. Thompson, ii" was ali
the time a thorough sining partisan, and with his party,
both ir. Congress anl outside, l-itn-iiy opposed the Ke
snmption act and tho perpetuation of the National
Bank *yst?-m. Ho professed nor ro believe in the hat
money lunary at his uncle. William Allen. But lu
1875 he paltered w.th the subject and tried to explain
U.at inflation was not Incompatible with sound finance.
As a result the Chlo Democrats took heart; and In
lfiTC, under the lead of Allen, shoved aside contemptu
Susly Mr. Thurman's platform favoring repeal ot
tee Resumption aet. the alx.litlon of National Hanks
and a tariff lor revenue only, and adopted in les place

ONE Ti-LKGKAM OF CONGRATULATION

AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, June 7 (Special).?At the White Ilouse
last night there was a long line of correspondent a pre?
pared with abundant paper and pencils to copy the
oongratulatory message-, whJch lt was naturally snp
p(?ed the renomlnted President would receive from
bia faithful supporters. Only one was given out.
The point was raised whether trds was not the fli-st
?cession that a .Democratic President had been re?
nominated t.y acclamation. Colonel "Dan" Lamont
*aa doubtful of his historical reminiscences, but In?
clined to think lt not so. A little research showed
that President Van Bui-en, elected In 1-*3C by a large
majority, was renominated by acclamation In IMO,
and was defeated In the Electoral College by a vote of
? to C&4. The parallel was not pursued any fur?
ther.
After the early -gJJoumment of the Renate today
Senator Biddlebcrge" of Virginia, who, In spite of his
"-Otentrtcltles, retains a considerable bold on the re
lard ot many of his Democratic associates, was sur?
rounded by (jnite a group of Democrats The news
of Thurman's nomination lor the Vice-Presidency had
Jast been received.
"a-'hat do you think of that, Kiddlcbcrgerr asked
?ne of his liemoeratic colleague-..
** Think of lt?*1 said Mr. Riddleberger in his peculiar

Strange to say, the bon mot recelred thc hearty
laughter and applause of the Democrats who heard lt.

cepting thia distinction, Mr. Ilreslln said that there waa
moro reason now for opposing Cleveland than ever
before. ^11 that he was suspected of being four yean
ago he had proved himself to be now. He m^t there?
fore be defeated at all hazards. A long preamble re*
beaning the evils of Cleveland's Admli.l-dratlon, with
the following resolutions appended, was thet.
unanimously adopted .
_t-.-k.Ked, That we, citizens of Irish birth or descent,
who have hitherto mainly voted with tho Democrat ii
party, who know from our own expel lenee the k_B__BS__M ?

wounded'by the action of the Cleveland Administration In

Interests were at stake, denounce the nomination of drover

THE r~TTED LAR^R PLATFORM INDORSED.
Delegates of the United I_aror party held a meet?
ing at Clarendon Itali last night to discuss the plat?
form of that rany and the chances of a consolidation
between the United Labor party and the "nlon Li.bor
party. The meeting was at ti*r,es a stormy one and
several delegates handed In their resignations on
the ground that they could not uphold the cause of a
party divided against Itself. John McMaeldn, chair?
man of the County Committee, said thal several com?
munications had passed between the Cnlted and l'nlon
Labor parties in relation to coalition, but they could not
agree, although T. J. Streeter, nominee for President
of the Union Labor party, wrote to W. IL T. Wakeman,
nominee of the United Labor party, that a great mistake
had been made at the Cincit.natl Convention, and
offered to withdraw In favor of harmony. R. P. Davis
said tbat he had always voted the Democratic licker
until the last, campaign when he rated rb' laiv.r
ticket but if there weie going to be two tickets of the
lat! r party In the field thli year f,e will have a rap
ai I lev.-land and vote with the party that was going
to win.
Th" Rev. C. P. McCarthy said that the nett election
would see the Labor party sift od and that lt would be
eventually the great party of this enntry. Another
detente declared thal though he had heretofore voted
the Democratic ticket h>* would uphold the Republican
nominees If there were two Labor tickets In the Held.
The nominations and platform of tho tarty were
eventually indorsed.

though forcibly, the story is a He." These were the
words of the Rev. FaUier Converse, as he stood in the
parlor of St Clement's Protestant Episcopal Mission
House this afternoon and finished reading a long and
se'ia'iorial account from "The New-York Herald" of
today, whieh stated mat Father li. If. Maturln, until
recently rector of *he church, had Joined the Roman
Catholic Church. He said: ? Father Maturln las no
Intention of Joining the Church of Rome, and went to
England solely for his health. There are one or two

saw the white haired old man sitting on the platform
at commencement, and taking the hands of the young
wo-iien and young min about to graduate as they said,
Father Cooper, all I have I owe to you.' How
wisely has this undertaking been planned. This man
has planned to Invest his money, not where lt will
draw six per cent, not eight, but an Incalculable
amount of Meeast (J teat reward ls assuredly to fol?
low. Think what enlargement of beauty will come
from this scheme, cod puts wonderful possibilities
Into everything he undertake*.. How much more
has he put possibilities Into mind, which ls part ol
himself. It ls In tbe youth assembled here to-day
that this work ls to go oa They havo as great pos?
sibilities as are found In any part of the world. How
glad I am that this college represents not a moss of
stone, but a fountain of knowledge, which ls to lend
f'.rth a stream widening into eternity. When the
morning sun brightens up these towers, every eye
that ls turned hl'her ls turned to recognize life and Joy
and an etornal fountain of wisdom. Happy Syracuse
and happy citizens thereof, that ts honored with a
mar. whose liberality ar.d high wisdom has erected a
building which shall lie the spring of knowledge.
God's blessing be upon thc college, and upon the gen?
erous donor, for ever more."
Andrew D. White, of Cornell, was then Introduced
ne said: "This university has been planted by
riot.I.- nrcn to erown our system. The John Crouse
OaDeft stand-, not only for the higher education of
men, but of women as well. It has now become one
of the accepted things of the Wotto that women must
be '?ducated, and I, for oue, most devoutly thank
Heaven for lt."
At the conclusion of Dr. White's speech, there were
loud calls for Senator Hlscock, who came forward and
thanked Ike students for their I . arty greellng. He
MM : " I did uot come hen- to thrust my,elf Into tho

From Tho New-York Sun (Demi
We havo held this Administration at more than

the only ?bsnrdlty that we have failed Ut defeat or

we are good for four years more sanitary effort and
c..rrecrlve enterprise in thar direction, so far as tho
free trade Issue ls concerned, wo ean freely sar that
our Influence has been more pronounce* than in (tooee
other Executive crusades that we have foiled. We
protested against rhe klckovnr to which Mr. Cleveland
subjected the National Democratic platform of l-l,
and the first answer was from rhe Hon. Roger Q. Mills.
Ile discarded the violation of that platform urged by
the President, and Introduced a bill to cut the luiemf.i
revenn.* Then we turned our attention to th.* Mills
TarlfT bill, and dat has already assumed a shape which
perhaps Mr. Mill- cnn recognise, but which ls Immensely
o-ttrerent from Its first appearance. And as with free
trade so with the ot(vr chimeras and perversities oi
a headstrong Executive. \v0 can rebuke, we can ad?
monish, and we ran restrain. What we have done in
the past we can do again.
