JUDGE THURMAN'S LETTER.
He Accepts the Democratic Nomination for Vice-President.
Columbus, O., Oct. 15.--Allen G. Thurman has formally accepted the Democratic nomination for the Vice-Presidency. In his letter he praises President Cleveland's Administration, and says a just appreciation of his course calls for his re-election. He approves the platform of the St. Louis convention, and strongly dissents "from the heretical teachings of the monopolists that the welfare of a people can be promoted by a system of exorbitant taxation far in excess of the wants of the Government."
In conclusion Mr. Thurman says: "It seems to me that if the policy of the Democratic party is plainly presented all must understand that we seek to make the cost of the living less, and at the same time increase the share of the laboring man in the benefits of National prosperity and growth."
