There is one name name high up hi tlie

(J. Thurman.
Such an apimiutmcnt would need no apol
ogy or explanation. It would net tax the
ingenuity of either honest citizens or of the
dullest jobbers te understand what it meant,
it would niuait honest government ami thor
oughly ((.itrtelic Democratic rule.
It is said that theie are Ohie elements that
prefer te h.tve tlie old llem.tu oflhe Senate,

sHiusible for the crettieu of Democratic
(xnver, or for its diioctieli, or for itn success or
defeat iu tlie future; and while the few
would murmur the whole country would ro re ro
jeiceaud Democratic power would have ene

Theio is mere hi the name or Thurman for
enduring success hi tin involution of peliti

mid it is no sudden or s'rishable Hash of

He Indulged in pleas-tut reminiscences of

of ether .educational iuteiesls, its common
schools were always gissl ; and as the
principal of another institution lie was glad
te count Linden Hall us a member of the
common estate of learning. Some of the
schools which are rilling this work admit
Imth sexes, seme only ene ; sotne nre de
nominational, ethers nre net ; some are classi
cal, seme practical ; thore may lm generous
rivalry between them, there should net lm
jeuleusy. Prof. Shaub praised the old
Moravian educators, Cemcuius mid .iitzeit .iitzeit
ilerf, for aiming te ed ilea te woman and help
ing nor te her true position.
A Her years of repression the geed vvetU
begun ut Bethlehem, it hundred years nge,

education of women in litis country. The
speaker did net believe intellectual attain
ments prevented women from having domes

witness Mrs. Senterville, Mrs. Drowning nml
ethors. Women's Held Is constantly increas
ing law ; medicine, teaching and nearly nil
the vocations of man ure ejieu te lier ; she
