From tlioOrcgnnlnti. Allan G. Tlturman, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, was born ut Lynchburg, Va,, November III, 1813, and Is therefore much the oldest man over nominated for Vice-President of tho Uni ted States. Kl bridge Gerry, when inaug urated in 181!), was (II), and tiled tho noxt year; Win, H. King, inaugurated in 18551, was 07, and died tho same year, after but u month's service. VIco-Piusldont Hen ry Wilson also died in olilco when nearly 01. Mr. Tlturman served in the twenty ninth Congress from Ohio, was on tho supreme bench of Ohio from 1851 to 1850, and was twolvo years in tho United Statea Senate from March I, 18(10, to March 4, 1881, w hen ho was succeeded by John Sherman. Ho won high reputation In tho Senate iih un ablo lawyer and an un Iliucliing enemy of legislative jobbery, working hand in hand witli Senator Kd munds in tho passage of tho so-called Ktlmuuds-Thurman Paclllo railroad act. Hu also bora un inlluentlal part in tho lussagu of the electoral commission bill in 1877 and was a conspicuous memlier of tho commission. Ho was distinguished while in Congress for his ittlvm'iinv nt Ihn ullvnr rnliiuim act of. 1878, ti fact that oxplahm his great popularity with his party ou this coast. In the celebrated struirgloof 1880lietweon President Haves and the Democracy over tho intention of the President's constitu tional prerogative, Senator Thurmati wuh tho lender of his party. In tho course of that debate both Thurmnu and Havard enunciated tho obsolete state supremacy construction of ;ho constitution. During tlio war Mr. Thurmnu was not in Con gress, but acted w ith the party tltat under tho lead of Vallandlgham, Pendleton and NoorhccH opiKisod Lincoln' administra tion ; but ho acted oonly and fairly with in the law and was never Mispcctcd of secret conspiracy against the government. miico i minium nut mo Pouatu in ltwi ho has licen badly treated by his party.
