Thurston, candidates respectively of the democratic and republican parties for the United States senate. Thb seating capacity of the Merchants’, pavilion at the state fair grounds, estimated at 7,000, was taxed, andhhe partisans of the two speakers, supposed to be equal in numbers, were warm, in > their plaudits of the good points made.
