THE SHERMAN BOOM.
Political Gossip Per,ainiar rher.,,

Political Gossip Pertaining Thers,o.
New York, Aug. 26.--A Washington
special says that certain discharged
clerks have been detected in conspira-
cy with Ohio democrats to injure what
ever chances Sherman may have for the
presidency. A letter from the chairman
of one of the democratic committees,
of Ohio, addressed to the ex-chief of the
special agent of the treasury, show
that discharged officer has been volun-
teering to furnish some alleged damag-
Ing testimony rejecting upon Sherman.
The democratic chairman reminds the
ex-officer that he has an opportunity "to
kill off Sherman in Ohio, so that he
could never again be resuscitated in
Gods world and Grant will come to the
front with boom.
The Baltimore SUMS Washington
correspondent says, Secretary Schurz,
before leaving for Ohio, told friend
Of Gen. Grants that he was stalwart
republican in everything except in his
choice of the man who should be the
next republican candidate for the pres
idency. He would have to oppose Gen.
Grant, should he be nominated, should
the nomineee he Blaine, while he prob
ably would not not oppose him, he nev-
er could support him. His choice was
Sherman, not that he believed Sherman
the best man the republicans to nomin-
ate, but he was just now the most
available man for the republicans who,
for instance, would rather vote for a
democrat like Bayard than republican
like Grant. He thought Sherman was
the man to kill off the Grant boom.
He had urged him to enter the field
against Grant, and upon his advice
Sherman consented and wrote the Has
kin letter. Since then he (Schurz) has
been working for Sherman in every way
possible. This statement receives the
partial confirmation in Schurz's recent
defence of his administration against
the indignation expressed, all over the
country, at the treatment Of the Ponca
In 1ians, in which statement he endeav-
ors to lay the blame for the removal
from their home, on the previous ad-
ministration, concealing the fact that
1t was himself (Schurz) who pressed for
the removal and is really responsible
for the death of nearly half the tribe.

San Francisco, Aug. Kalloch's
condition Is continually improving, and
it is NOW reported that he is out of
danger, though the report is probably
premature According to the present
opinion of the physicians the bullet
merely grazed the lung. No effort has
yet been made to probe the wound.
The workingmen's guards on duty
about the Metropolitan temple were re-
placed by police this evening. The
workingmen are holding a mass meet
ing at Union hall tonight, which is
crowded to suffocation. The meeting
has no particular connection with the

fore the assault was made upon him.
Everything is orderly and no tendency
whatever to reawaken the excitement.

has been visiting relatives in this city
for several days. and among the many

tells = stra0ge story that is worthy Of

Arlington graduated at the same
school with George Christy, and the
two spent many years togetbor in
travelling through the South with q
mist,el company, these two lights Of
the profession appearing Oh the ends.
They we're fast friends, and spent q
great deal Of time in Observing and
noting odd negro expressions and
comicalities. which they brought out
q: the theatre from time TO time. As
Is we'll known, Christy Was lone Of
the boys." His weakness ran in the
direction Of liquor. and he ALWAYS
had . premonition that his fast life
would be q short one. He was the
most superstitious and melancholy
man in the world. and was always
foreboding evil for himself. Frequent.
y be went to his place in the circle in
the most dismal Of moods. but the
music, and the lights. and the ap-
plause would soon make him a. CAV
as ever. He once told Arlington,
Just before . performance at some
town in Georgia. that when he died
he intended to appear n him. that he
might know he was still his friend.
The dismas seemed % have more
than the usual possession Of him. and
not even the clash and the noise Of
the minstrel hah could revive him.
He spoke Of il again rs they walked
home. and when they separated for
the night he said: "Remembes. Billy.

hear Of my death Look out for me-"
