WARRINGTON, D. c., Jan. b.-The Washington
Republic, 1reenback organ. curIously enough
Inns M article this morning practically aivocat-
Ing John Sherman, Secretary Of tho Treasury,
for President. The article, which IL headed
fisherman for President says: "There Il a.
ready a good deal OF talk about the present
Secretary OF tho Treasury for Republican nou-
incc In 1850. but vory fcB people have any idea
how rcaily formidable candidate he Is. The
nomination may be said u be between Blaine,
Grant. and Sherman. It Is not improbable that
Blaine will decide to take no part In tho
next contest, but reserve his powers
for 1854. Should this happen, the
light will ho narrowed down to Qraut and sher.
nau. Strange as tho assertion may seetn, the
secrotary's course within the next two years IL
not unlikely to win him the esteem Of tho
urccnbackera. True. Sherman has pursued his
favorite idca Of resumption, even though 10 has
to climb over tho victims OF its SLOW process
piled mountains ht9f, but TINT Il accomplished
nov. 1t Ia no longer a nightmare 10 interfere
with schemes OF roltef for tho whole country.
5hornJan is very clear-healel. Flo understands
protty clearly what ia needed now to re-estab-
llsh prosperity. There is no longer any
difference between precnbacks md gold
to build up a formidable opposition.
It would not bo surprising. therefore, to see
SECRETARY Sherman proposing financial meas-
uses which would meet With tho 1earttcst ap-
probation from tho Ggcenbackers. Let such
come to pass. Let tho Democrats nominate
bayard. and John Sherman would have only 10
pick up. bis portfolio and walk over to the
White House, not to leave II again for four
years. This may. and doubtless docs, sound
very odd, but It IL good, hard common.sensct
for all that. II any politician has writton up
Presidential slate on whcf, the name OF John
Sherman docs not appear, be had better wtpo
out bis figures and msks aomo frssh ealeula-
tlous."
