Gen. Sherman Defines His Position.

AS soon as Gen. Shorman's unfor rtunate
arrangement with tho Rebel Johnston be.
came known to tho country, the Democra-
cy began to whisper his namo in connection
with the Goyornorship and tho Presidency.
Tho very thing that subjected him to criti-
icism among tho best friends of tho Union,
of course made him the moro acceptable to
them, strengthening their confidence and
exciting thor admiration as his brilliant
and successful military career had failed to
do; and they at once determined TO uso him,
1t possible, to advance the cause of their
party. But tboir interest in his welfare
proves to have boon unavailipg, and ovon
thankless. Gen. Sherman, notwithstand.
ing his peculiar views of reconstruction, is
hardly prepared to suffer martyrdom in
such a cause. lie has too much patriotism
and good sense TO allow his name thus to
DO used for the benefit Of q party at tho OK.
pense of tho country. In o, speech at tho
Nell House 10 Columbus, on the 18th inst,
he empbaticalIy declared no had no Gu
material or Presidential ambition. and. more.
over, gave IL to bo understood that he should
support Gen. Cox for Governor. Ho said
'"Tho newspapers had takon great lib
critics with the namos of public men, and, in
bis own case, had oven accused him of DO.
litical aspirationg--that ho would like to bo
President. He had too much respect for
his own comfort, TO desire to be President,
1926 900 year wouldn't pay him for tho
performance of tho civil duties of that Office
nor $l00,0OO. Io had all tho military ron.
utation he cared about, and it was enough
for him to do to take caro- of that.
"Che newspapers had stated that he did
not favor tho election Of bis friend, Genornl
Cox, for Governor. Thoy had no riph. to
say that He had uniformly spoken in the
highest terms of tho ability, both civil and
military. and high qualifications of General
Cox for that Office. True, he had said and
and would repeat 1t, that no could not see
how General Cox could make anything by
res gning his commission ns Major General
to be Governor Of Ohio two years. Ho.
sherman, would not leave bis commission
ior two years, nor twenty, nor two hundred
thousand"
