MAJOR GENERAL sHERnAN's REPLY.
HEADQUARTERS, MILITARY DIVISION or rHE MISSISSIPPI,
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct: 81, 1895.
JoHn B. HAsKS Esq, 106 Broadway, Now York:
DsAR Sal am in roccpt o. your letter OF October -
hottest degree with any political or partisan moycmen
and cannot read much less express an opinion Of
any paper not part or the written constitution and laws
binding on us ali wish General Slocum WE'LL and that
he may be elected becanse he is personal friend whom
trusted SsssS 70 him sy and with great inissnss
a"' WIN '''''' v. 'E.i SIBERIAN. Major General
This Is characteristic Of General Sherman.
He will, while in active service ~ q soldier,
have nothing to do with party politics or mere
party platforms. His platform is the written
constitution and the laws binding on US ALL"
But his personal esteem for General Slocum-
one of his corps commanders in that grand and
glorious march down through Georgia to the
sea- and from Savannah through the Carolinas
and Virginia to Washington-rises so far above
all party impediments that "Old Tecumseh"
cannot withhold his wish for Slocum's election,
because che will execute any Office entrusted
to him fairly and with great Intelligence"
Such an endorsement from General Sherman
gives the quietus at once to all those foolish
and scandalous radical accusations against
| General Slocum of "cotton thief" and 'public
defaultcr," and it is to be hoped that, for the
sake of fair play and common decency, we
shall hear no more Of them.
JOHN VAN buren, AND CHAuNcEY DEPEw.,-
Mr.. Chauncey Depew having stated that in a
familiar conversation with him Mr. John Van
Buren, pronounced Horatio Seymour ~ politi-
| cal accident" and "a damned fool" Mr.. Van
Buren, has thought it proper to put in demur-
rcr He has done SO in the way of a general
denial, embracing protest against the retail
| ing of confidential conversations, and specific
acknowledgment of "the great intelligence and
| singular personal and official purity" Of said
| Seymour. But still It remains an open ques-
ton whether, in confidential way, Mr.. Van
Buren, did or did not express the opinion to
Mr.. Depew that Horatio Seymour was "a politi-
| col accident" and "a damned fool" The case
goes into the same pigeon hole with the charge
and the lie pending between Lucius Robinson
and Thurlow Weed.
GENERAL WADE HAMPTON PROBABLY De-
| FEATED.-Our last report from South Carolina
is that in counting up the latest returns
| for Governor General Wade Hampton II
Defeated, and Mr.. Orr, formerly Speaker OF
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton, is elected. But it will make very
little difference practically whether men Of
| Union or rebel antecedents are elected TO their
local Offices by the people of the Southern
| States in their work OF reconstruction, SO that
they present themselves before the President
and Congress with good credentials touching
the abolition of slavery, the constitutional
amendment, the reputation oftheir rebel debts
| the recognition OF the national debt and the
civil rights of the blacks Present TO Congress
sound record upon these things, and there
will be very little difficulty about local State
elections and their results
