The opinion in Ohio about Secretary Sherman's
probable candidacy for the Senatorship seems 10 be
that IL reduces the contest in there is a Rcpub
lean LEGISLATURE to a trial between Gen. Carield's
popularity and Mr. sherman'j political influence.
Tie Sherman influence in the state has, by long
pow and practice, become almost irresistible and
II has always been accompanied by large amount
of'persOnal popularity, TOO.
Gen Gr0sycnor of OHIO, has invented scheme
orrdding Ohio politics of its burden Of Stanley
Matthews lie says the Senator is baby in politics.
but he is immense as lawyer He thinks therefore,
that Justice Swayne, Of the Supreme Court, ought
TO retire and give the President chance TO put Mr..
Matthews IN his place. The plan would probably be

som8 other things considered IN making supreme
Court Justice.
The Ohio campaign is warming mp in spots. The
Grand sparring match between Ewing and Mat
thews is developing q good deal Of heat. The latter
cot so carried away with the excitement of great
moment the other day that be remarked with evil
dent truth that the other dcbater had been telling
tolerably well defined untruih. Now Ewing shows
signs of feryor by alluding to the "hell-iavented
scheme of forced resumption" This is the first in
dicaton the sinner las had that the torentS of his
future state include n study OF political economy.
Gen. NJ. c. Butler, of SOuth Carolina, has done
himself the injury Of publishing another card. Tie
seems unable TO learn that his safest course IS to
keep ont of the public eye much rs possible.
SOMEBODY charged that the General had been exert
ing himself to have the proceedings against the
former Republican officials discontinued, and he
rises TO saw with his usual ery0r that the man who
i,vented the report is branded as a liar and
whoever believes 1t Is slmpoton." Nobody be-
lieycd the report any more than one would be-
lievc n statement that the General Is ut TO be SEN
ator of the United states.
Secretary Sherman dispOses in n summary manner
of two recent reports about himself Acorrespondent
Of The Ereaing Post sent moving dispatch on Thurs
dav. declaring that the Secretary had allowed some
one 10 circulate pledge among the clerks of the
Treasury Department, obligng them to go to Ohio
and vote, whether they could afford il or not The
next dav the same correspondent said the Secretary
had announced that he would be candidate for the
Senate IN case of a Republican Legislature being
chosen in Ohio On Saturday the editors of The Post
received this condensed dispatch from Mr.. Sherman:
Your correspondent in his special dispatch in your
paper Yesterday, states what ~ absolutely false as
IN NV asserting that would be candidate for cleo
fon 10 the Senate and in his dispatch OF tho day
before about my action in regard 10 clerks gong TO
ohio 10 vote he also states wilful falsehood.'
One OF the most artistically constructed false
hoods which the Democratic press has been rearing
for ia own delectatiOn was exploded without leay-
ing so much ms splinter of fact behind it, As first
set ND TO public view. it consisted of statement
that the clerks at Washington, who lived in Ohio,
were to be sent home to VOTE TO be assessed,
if they refused to go. Then addition was made
that Gen. Grosyenor, of Ohio, had been allowed to
VISIT the Departments, and had in one way or
another collected contributions from the clerks.
Another addition was that the General had coll
lected all OF the Ohio clerks III room and held
them there till they "came down." There were sew
eral other skilfu touches, all tending to show that
Civil Service Reform was humbug, and that the
Ohio Republicans were in PANE through lack of
funds Gen. GTOsyenOr now steps forward and
tumbles the whole fabric over, by declaring that lie
did not solicit money from any clerk or other en-
political or other purpose, and only went to the De-
partment Of the Interior to pay his respects 20 SIR.
