Honest John Sherman political
ambition has always been and still is
subordinate to his pecuniary passions.
For the mere name and noise Of polit
zeal influence he cares rs little as any
man in public life. He crowds ana
pushes no more than is necessary to
keep the way to his pockets clear

It is said Of John Sherman that he
has discovered the fact that he has d
very precari0us tenure of the treas

down and out at almost any time on
account of his very Objectionable finan-

John Sherman, secretary of the
treasury. is a thrifty man. He was
poor twenty years ago; he has done no
business and received no income be-
yond his little salary as member of
Congress. But, avaricious fellow-men,
he has been Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the United States SEN
ate. Also, he is worth S2,O00.000 in
United States bonds. Miiw0uA.ee

The West wants the next president.
We are entirely willing, provided the
east can pick the man. or the west
shall choose the eastern man for the
place. Considering that the west has
had Lincoln. Johnson. Grant and
Hayes. 1t is only fair that the east
should have it's man next time. He
was in town the other day.-NeW York
Express.
Hayes ought to see by this time that
the selection of j Ohm Sherman was I'M
fortunate for his administration.
Sherman daily grows more unpopular
in this State, and his policy is under
TODD to be the guiding one. All parties
regard him us the stumbling block to
business. \ change of ministers is
the rule in other countries when the
people grow FESTIVE and express dis
content. Down with Sherman!-Cin.

The business men of Evansville
should not be behindhand in demand
ing an immediate abandonment of the
contraction policy. 1t will not do for
them to say that q protest from them
will do no good, OF that it is none of
their business to interfere with the
policy of John Sherman. 1t is every
man s business to do what he can to
alleviate the sutferings of the people;
to do what he can to help the thous-
ands of men forced to idleness by the
wicked, dishonest. thieving policy of

they must expect contraction to reach

spares none but his parents--debt and
