Allen G. Thurman is dead. The passing
of the Old Roman was like that of “one
who wraps the drapery of his coach about
him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
, The end was peaceful in the extreme. and
the spirit of the great man left its earthly
habitation without a sign of physical dis.
tress. At thslnstant of dissolution and
for some hours prior Mr. Thurman had
been lying in an unconscious condition.
and the change was hardly noticeable to
the members of the family pathos-ed at his
bedside. On Nov. 1 he slipped and foil
while walking in his library, cnllrtliiti a
severe shock to his nervous system. It
was feared during the week following that
he would die. but it is believed that ho
had quite recovered from the effects of
this accident. He had sincc been in fair-
ly good health for one of his age. and his
demise at this time was unexpected. He
was sitting up reading yesterday. when
he was taken suddenly ill Illlli soon bo-
camo unconscious, in which state he rc-
malnod to the and. Death was not due to
ALLEN 0. TllUlthiAN.
any disease. but to the gradual waning
of the physical forces incident to his ad-
vanced years. Since his retirement from
active life he had pcaccfullypnssod the
ebbing days of his old age in the elegant
but quiet home of his son, Allen W. 'l'hnr-
mun. where his children and grandchil-
dren cheered him with their company and ,
watched over his feeble footsteps with
loving care. The sunset of his long and
useful but sometimes stormy life was
pleasant and peaceful. The last rnysof
sunlight found the same sturdy spirit
there that won a nation's admiration at
noonday.
tour Score Years of Activity.
Allen G. Thurman's four score years of
life covered almost the entire progress of
the nation from childhood to complete
maturity. In his Virginia boyhood the
Alloghnnies were the wuslcrn "rolls of
anything that coulri hocnlled an advanced
civilization. but Columbus. 0., the home
of his latter years, is for cost of the con-
tcr of population.
When he cmigi’ntcd to (into, it was on
the border of the far sir-st. When he on-
terod the United Sluice senate, ho was no
counted rather as a representative of the
east. ills first political lessons were from
the living Jefferson and Madison. ilo
witncsscd tho phenomenal growth of
Jackson; outlived tho ll presidents who
succeeded him and took the loading port
in reconstructing the old pnrry nnrl im-
prcssing its doctrines upon llio third gen-
oration.

was beaten by less than 3,000. In 1863 he
was elected United Stair-s senator ovcr
Clement II. Valiandighnrn and reelected
in 1874, serving 12 yours in that body.
Eminent as a Jurist. '
While Judge Thurman made his or
tional reputation as a senator he also at-
tained eminence as a lawyer and jurist.
His opinions—to be found in the first five
volumes of “Ohio b‘tnto Iieports"—nre
models of clear statement and logical nd- i
hcrnnce to elementary law. in no other
department is his greatness so generally r
recognized as in this. The senator. the
politician. the candidate for vice presl- .
dent. have been harshly criticised by po- i
liticul opponents, but J udgo Thurman nl- .
ways commanded respect. Senator Ros-
coe Cookiing was once addressing the sen-
ate in an impassioned manner and seemed
to direct his remarks to Senator Thur-
man. At length the latter got irritated.
”Does the senator from New York." he
roared, "expect me to answer him every
time he turns to me?" -
For a moment Mr. Conkling hesitated.
and,everybody expected a terrific cprOv
sion. Themwith an air of exquisite cour-
tesy..he replied: '
. “When 1 speak of the law, I turn to the
senator from Ohio as tho Mussulmnn
turns toward Mecca. 1' turn to him as I
do to the English common law. as the
world's most copious fountain of human
jurisprudence. " '
The usually decorous senate broke into
a storm of applause. and the Thurman eyo
molstbned a little. It is ever a pleasure to
be complimented, but to be complimented
as a lawyer by Roscoe Conkling—thnt was
praise indeed Though separated hypo-
litlcal barriers. which often occasioned
heated disagreements on the floor of the
senate. Thurman and Ccnkling were the
warmest personal friends. In the senate
Thurman was the acknowledged leader
on the Democratic side of the chamber,
and his sturdy character and dignified
bearing gave him the apt title of the Old
Roman. His services on the judiciary
committee in the senate were particularly
important, but his long fight to compel
the Pacific railroad corporations to fulfill
their obligations to the governmenthed
most endeared him to the people. In this
math his firm friend personally and
right eye.

Early in rain the name of Thurman he-

took strong ground in favor oi the elec-

method of settling the dispute as to the
presidency caused him an apparent loss
of popularity for n time. in the secure.
