Ohio Democrats Want Thurman to Run for Governor. [Columbus (Ohio) special.! The central organ of the Ohio Democracy appeared this morning in a leading editorial calling upon ex-Senator Thurman to consent to allow the use of his name for the cornin ' gubernatorial nomination in spite of his letter of declination. This line of action means that Thurman will accept the nomination if unanimously tendered him, And is so interpreted by political thinkers here. It is well understood th'at Thurman does not want the nomination, but his friends claim that he could not be patriotic and decline to accept of a party which has done so much for him, and it is understood that with these assurances his name will be presented to the Cleveland convention. “I left a boy about twdlve years old out here when I went in,” said a fanner yesterday ns he came out of the City Hall. “I saw him, sir,” said a bootblack about a foot high. '“Where did he go?” “Why, he ran his tongue at me, and the last I saw of him he was going for the woods. I don’t take sass from any granger, I don’t!”
