The SHER2AEs are strong in Ohio.
1t is from Ohio that we get the informa-
ton which has called forth this article. The
Cincinnati Commercial publishes letter
from Washington mot from DOM PtATT)
which saws that it is admitted in Washing
ton BY those best informed and best quail
fed to judge of the probabilities in the case
that General GRANT will be renominatcd by
the Republicans and this Notwithstanding
that nearly all the Republican Senators and
leading Republican journals are opposed
to such denomination. The same letter
speaks as follows concerning Gen. SHERMAN:
"It is thought here that Gen. Sherman,
approaching the plight in which the Demo
cracy was placed, conceived the idea OF FUR
nishing candidate for them in the man
that marched from the land unto the sea-
In this view Of the case, many mysterious
things in Sherman have been explained
lately. His conduct and his sentiments,
which he used to express with great frank.
ness and even recklessness, have been sub.
dued and modified greatly. He was discoy-
cred long ago to have lost some OF the kadl'
Calism W hich once possessed him, and his re.
cent speech in New Orleans is such direct
slap in the face to President Grant, that
there is no longer any doubt expressed here
that Sherman is bidding for the Democratic
nomination. The idea of the General OF

ports of his own officers, and the undoubted
authority of the best men in the country,

were of little consequence, and that the
subject should be kept out Of Congress

rebel-could settle all matters if they had a

you want him. I come TO YOU unsought.'
Grant and Sherman have not been the best
OF friends for several months. For outside
appearances they have always had show of
cordiality to prevent remark, but it is known
to the inner circle that there is not particle
of love between them. Some men say they
have bad an open rupture. At any rate,
considering that Grant is the author of the
kukluX movement in Congress, that be re-

of importance enough to issue proclama.

ridicules it as unnecessary and mischiev-

SHERMAN against GRANT, What race
that would be. And SHERMAN would GER
tainly beat him. Let us wait and see what
the future has in store for US.
