Especial Dispatch 10 the Star.l
NEW YORK, May 8.
The movement which has been suggested by
some OF Secretary Sherman's friends to nomi-
nate him as the republican candidate for gover-
nor OF Ohio has been discussed quite freely dur
inc the past two or three days at several social
gatherings of prominent New YORK republicans,
and, It need hardly be said, is earnestly favored.
MIR. Sherman, 1t is understood. is In the hands
OF his friends, and will consent TO run II they
decide that he ought to enter the Presidential
campaign through that channel. He Will re-
main In New York for few days and then 60
direct to Ohio, returning to washington IN
the course OF ten days. He Is invited 70 attend
tonight the dinner given TO Gen. Hancock ana
other friends at the Army and Navy CLUB,
though this is a non-partisan affair. 1t Is the
gossip OF Wall street that II Mr.. sherman leaves
the Treasury the President will appoint Stanley
Matthews IN bis place though this Is douSsess
for Mr. Matthews The work OF refunding the
public debt having been completed, there Is but
little for the head OF the Treasury but routine
that Mr.. sherman ought to retire In q few
months on his record as ft now stands.
The Manhattan club hold q reception this
evening, at winch there win be an informal po-
itical talk. The democrats have not been able
to agree on any man for governor OF New York.
They do not regard Gov. Robinson as strong
enough for the struggle the coming fall, ana
Gov. r. does not want a denomination. AN
ward have been abandoned. Tammany halls
triumph In its organization last week does not
promise much harmony In the city democracy.
Mayor Cooper has, on the other hand, antago-
nized even anti-Tammany democrats in his
removal OF the police commissioners. To-day
ne nnaily decided to remove Commissioner
who has returned from bis long visit to Wash.
fngtOn, may be retained.
