WASHINGTON, June IA, 4o77.
A few more drops of favor have fallen
into the Ohio saucer, and this time the
Cincinnati district is in luck. Charles
Joseph has been appointed revenue
storekeeper, and Albert Slanty gauger
for the First District. 1t is said by
those familiar with the parties that the
appointments are both good ones; in
fact, it is quite noteworthy that the
Presidents appointments in all direc-
tions are excellent and meet with gener-
al favor except at the hands of disap.
pointed candidates.
They have a new story on tue tdpts to-
day, concerning Senator Matthews and
the Hon. John Sherman, to the effect
that these TWO distinguished OIioans
do not dwell together in harmony, and
that the Presidents paciication policy
will have to be extended so as to en-
brace both of them before they can be
expected to represent Damon and Py-
thlas. 1t is added that Mr.. Sherman is
tired OF Cabinet honors, and thinks he
made mistake in abandoning the
Senate, ana tnat in the event OF a Re.
publican Legislature in Ohio he would
dispute the succession Of the Hon.
Stanley Matthew'S. and whoop it up for
John Sherman. We repeat the gossip
simply to contradict 1t, for we do mol
believe that MIR. Sherman is either tired
of the cabinet, nor that he would re-
aspire to tue Senate under the conditions
named. The legislative fight in Ohio
will be between Matthews for the Re-
pubiicaDs; and Tor the Democrats, WIN

hands that the fall campaign in the

candidates themselves than ON any issue
