declaring very emphaticaly on his part de-
sire not to be considered candidate for OhiO's
gubernatOrial hOnOrs, causes good deal of spec.
ulatiOn among the Ohio democrats In Congress
1t is the first authoritiye statement yet made
CT the Secretarys position. The Ohio demo-
cratic leaders have been quietly comforting
with one another today, and very de-
cided disposition has cropped out that In.
aSmuch as Secretary Sherman is not to
be candidate that Senator Thurman should
at once allow the use Of his name as the demo-
cratic candidate. There is also pressure being
brought to bear on General Ewing to take the
second place, and 1t would not be Surprising af-
ter all II the democratic state ticket is Thur
man for governor, and Ewing for lieutenant
governor. with the understanding that II the
ticket Is elected and democratic legislature
likewise, that Ewing is to have the SenatOrship
which Thurman will vacate In 1881, and In turn
EW1ng'S influence Is to be used to give Thurman
Oh1o votes In the national democratic cOnven-
tion for the Presidency. This idea is endorsed
by nearly every Ohio democrat In Congress,
and General Ewing, though somewhat reluc-
tan1iy, Will take the second place under Thur
mans lead.
