Columbus Special (May y to Chicago Tribune.
The events of the past week have had the
effect of producing ono of the most intense
political sensations of the day. What first
appeared measure only adopted to place
Gov. Bishop on the retired list turns out to
have been inaugurated for the purpose of
| also embracing Senator Thurman within its
circle. A gentleman we'll informed as to the
plan adopted, and whose standing and re-
liability are unquestioned, gives information
derived from the reading of letters and tele-.
grams of those interested in the manage
ment of the undertaking. The plans and
specifications are substantially as follows:
First, to take advantage Of Secretary Sher-
mans visit to Ohio by proclaiming that,
having accomplished the duty for which he
was called to the treasury, he was now free
| to accept the Gubernatorial nomination,
If tendefe4 him by the Ohio Repub-
LEANS These sensational kilograms we're
double loaded in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
and at once created the desired effect. Gov.
Bishop was referred to as being altogether
too feeble an appendage to attach to tho
Democratic ticket. The Sherman boom was
pronounced success, the Enquirer people
| kept up the excitement and Senator Thur
man took alarm at the state of affairs said to
exist, and ad once started his trusted mouth
piece, John G. Thompson, to Ohio for the
purpose of consultation with Gen. Rice.
While here these gentlemen most thoroughly
alarmed the rank and file by impressing
upon them the utter defeat that
would result in Gov. Bishops denomination.
So far the scheme, backed by Wash Mclean,
has worked to charm. Gov. Bishop, who
one week ago was leading all competitors,
has fallen to third place. The Enquirer de-
sired to kill Bishop first, and then draw
Thurman into the whirlpool, by having
Ewing Oh hand to accept the nomination, it
having been previously arranged that the
Greenbackers should demand him as COM
promise candidate, this being the price of
their support. 1t is known that Ewing is
agreeable to the above plan, and. should the
Democracy be able to force Senator Sher-
head the Democracy, and square
fight be made on the financial
question, leaving Senator Thurman entirely
out of the race. Should Ewing be success
full, he is to be rewarded by the Senatorship
and possibly something higher. It is
claimed by those antagonistic to Senate,
Thurman that whether the Democrats wiz
or not, it will be damaging to that gentle
man. It is stated that some of Mr.. Tilden's
) friends are aiding this plan of procedure
| Gen. Rice, having no aspirations beyoni
3 that of Governor, is backed by Mr. Thur
3 man and his entire party of friends. Among
l those who are stated to be il
the ring are Wash Mclean, Senator Pendle
ton, and other gentlemen OF high politica
aspirations, who would be benefited by MI
Thurman's political demise. Taken as
whole, the scheme has been managed will
. much ability, and has utterly demoralize'
the Democracy, who are not now dispose'
to intimate who their leader will be, all de
: string to await the action of the Republican
convention on the 28th inst. It is apparent
however, that Gen. Ewings nomination
,, quite probable should there not be a marke
= change on the political board.
