WHAT SENATOR THURMAN THINKS, Biauixonk, Nd,, July 18,—Senstor I'hurman, of Oblo, has been for sev: days the guest of Senator Uavis, of West Virginia, at Deer Park Hotel, on thie Baltimore & Obio Railroad. Yes- terdny B reportor of the Daltimore Gazetle inter- viowod Benator Thurman on the finaucial plavk of the Columbus (0.) platform. Judge Thurman talged* quito freely on the situstion in Obio, sod bis own relstions to it, which, he thonght, had been mis- underatood. In reply to inqurice, he said the Domocrarlo party in Obio 1@ divided on the cur- roncy quoation. The financial opinions con- tained in tbe Columbus platform should anly be regnrdod as tho cxprossion of local opinion, and notuing could be moie unjust than tho attempt to charge on this account that too Domocrat.c Emy a8 & national orgavization 1s animated y & Bpirit of intlatfon. 1n all times of commor- cial depreesion, the cry of * More mouey!" in raised. The present period (s no exception. In- flation s Bure to be found in both political par- tles, and it i3 very unbecoming for Republican Jourpals to denounce the Democraay a8 an fntla- Uon party whilo 80 prowinont & Republican as Judge Relloy 1a haranguing tho iron-workers of hio in fsvor of his _ 8.65 bond schems and greeoback beresics. IHe also reforred to otber Republicaa leaders who have beon first and foromost in the defenss of grean- backs as tho beat currency the world sver saw. Tuoucliog the dasite for Ropublican success in the present Ohio canvass in the interest of Dem- ocratio princioles, Sonator Thurman BBid *'No man who comprehends the politle cal sitoation and hopes for ita succoss of tho Domocratic party at the next Presidon- tial eloction should dosire a Repubican victory In Ohio, fu tho foolish belief that sach s rosuit will contribute to 8 Republican defeat in 1%76. Nothiog could bo more ertonoous. A Democrat- icaefeat in the spproaching Stato election is wimply suicidal. 1t is truo that sorions errors were inserted in the platform. I did my best to avert tho threatoued evil, but, becanso othora disagroed with me, I ues no resson why I sbonld bolster up the Republican party. 1f orrors have beon committed in Ohio they can bo corrected. They neoed not ba tha axcune for greater ones. The Republican party fo Ohio 18 also dividod on the currency question.
