the head of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts, has revived an old custom by

the monotonous round of official duties

The opinion in Ohio about Secretary
Sherman's probable candidacy for the SEN
atorship seems to be that it reduces the
contest, in case there is Republican Leg
isiature. TO Il trial between Gen. Garheld's
popularity and Mr.. Sherman's political
influence. The Sherman influence in the
State has, by long power and practice, be-
come almost irresistible, and it has always
been accompanied by large amount of
personal popularity, too.
The fact is, the masses of the people of
both parties, the millions of American
voters who make and unmake congress-
men, are with the president They like
the way he talks and acts. They believe
in him and intend to give his administra-
ton hearty support. No president ex-
cept the martyred Lincoln ever came into
office under more trying circumstances
and none, not even Lincoln, ever succeed
ed during the first six months of his adj
ministration in more completely satisfying
the country that he was the right man in
the right place.-LpdjanapoljS Journal. ]
