Sherman will stump Ohio during the pres
ent campaign. It Is plain that he had to do
this II he aimed at the Presidency; at the
same time, there was executive order No. 1,
forbidding officeholders from interfering In
politics, staring him In the face. But to cam
dLdates nothing Is impossible; and the Ohio
statesman has easily explained this order
away. II he intended discussing politics In
the abstract, he said, 1t would be violation
OF the order, but he intended to confine HIM
self strictly to financial questions, to appear
as exponent and advocate OF Hayes's financial
policy. 1T Is proper that this policy should
be explained before the people," the willy
Secretary continues land who can do It
better than II Why, then, should I not take
q vacation from thel position ofESecretary Of
the Treasury and stump 1t In Ohio7" AS the
financial question La an important political
issue In Ohio, 1t is difficult to fully under
stand the distinction that Sherman draws be-
tween finance and politics. Indeed, the only
point fully comprehensive In this matter Is
that executive order No. /, after short and
feeble existence, hasI been. officially declared
dead.

used oil against the Democrats.
In this connection we regret to see that
Foster, In bis speech OF acceptance, expressed
contrition for the manly and generous
course he pursued and advised toward the
South in 1875 and afterwards, as an adviser
and friend OF Hayes, in the days OF visiting
statesmen and after the success OF the cleo
toral count. In all that business Foster dis
played more kindly feeling and correct judy
ment toward the South than any OF his
party, and 1t Is only with unqualified regret
that we hear from his own lips the averment
that he acted, not from generous impulse,
but from the coolest and most selfish OF par
tisan considerations.

AN INDIGNANT PROTEST.

Lie 6G6Fu bTOLHeTS, VI LOuuOH, WHO Iolu
some half q million or more OF our State debt,
through Edmond Forstall' Sons, their agents
at this place, on Thursday last addressed a
very positive letter to the Convention, where
In they protest with q solemnity that is truly
mournfu1 against any interference with the
State securities held by them, principal or In
terest, by the Convention.
Exactly what object the Stern Brothers had
In view when they addressed this proclama-
ton to the Convention is a matter for specu-
lation. It may have been meant as q sort OF
formal notice, advised by some Sergeant
Buzfuz, as necessary preliminary to pros
pective litigation, but it looks more
like an ultimatum announced by one
State to another, the disregard OF which
would be construed as cause OF war.
II the Convention persists In lite present
course, then, we may soon expect a declara-
ton Of open hostilities on the part OF Stern
Brothers against the State OF Louisiana, and
the formal withdrawal OF Edmond Forstalls
Sons, their duly accredited representatives,
from our capital.
This action Of the Stern Brothers reminds
us OF an incident that occurred aboard q
The ship was discovered to be On fire in her
hold, and the fire department was summoned
to her rescue. The chief took possession Of
the ship, closed her matches and proceeded to
cut holes in the deck to introduce hose to
flood her. To this proceeding the captain
strenuously objected, 30 he ran up the British
colors to the masthead, and, assuming an at
titude Of outraged dignity and violated au-
thority, he proceeded to protest and COM
manded the firemen to desist, In the name
and by the authority OF Her Majesty, the
Queen OF England and Empress OF India"
"Go bug yer Queen |" replied one Of the boys,
as he kept whacking away at the Britishers
deck. MY God !" exclaimed John Bull, Go
buz my Queen!" as he rushed off the ship In
widest CONSERVATION In search Of Mr.. de Fon-
blanQue.
We imagine that the protest OF Stern
Brothers will have about as much effect on the
Convention as that Of the old sailor had on the
firemen. II 1t have any. But, seriously speak
ing. the Stern Brothers occupy very differ
ent position In relation to the State from
many Of Its other creditors. They paid to the
State 100000 for one million OF bonds In a
certain class OF securities, which can be iden-
titled out OF the mass Of funded indebted
ness. They paid to the State In cash money
not less than $780, 900, as appears in the pub
lished reports OF the Auditor By the fund
ing process their bonds were reduced to $780,
600. entailiDg an absolute appreciable loss Of
fully 100000. Under these circumstances
this firm has certainly just cause to feel sore,
and their protest can, In consequence, be
justly criticized only in respect to the effect
1t Is likely to have on the Convention.

OHIO POLITICS.

The Democratic ticket In Ohio, with Ewing
for Governor and Rice for Lieutenant Cover
nor, Is regarded ais the strongest combination
that could possibly have been made. It Is
supposed to represent an indefinite amount OF
reconciliation among the cliques Of the Ohio
Democracy, and there are several fates sup
posed to be sealed by 1t. There are innumer-
able speculations as to what it means, but 1t
is a gratifying fact that every Democrat con-
strues 1t as peculiarly advantageous to him
self, and satisfaction with the ticket Is, con-
sequently, very general.
Our Washington correspondent on Thurs
day gave one version, evidently Mr.. Thur
mans, which Is entirely favorable to that gen.
tleman's presidential aspirations. According
to this authority the nomination of Ewing
and Rice means the complete unification OF
the hitherto divided Democracy Of Ohio. It
indicates that Ewing will succeed Thurman
Id the Senate, leaving Rice as Governor, and
the solid support Of Ohio for Thurman In the
next presidential convention. The defeat Of
Bishops construed as fatal to the Tilden in
trigue, whichitseems contemplated assigning
the second place on the ticket to Bishop, and

strength In Ohio In the convention.
It is very gratifying to know that Mr..
Thurman takes this cheerful view Of the situ-
alton, but we cannot see exactly how he
manages to extract 80 much comfort out OF
the facts OF the CASE The record shows that
Ewing owed his nomination to the Bishop
men, who all went over to him on the second
ballot. The Rice or Thurman element stood
firm, and Ewing's victory was, on the face Of
the papers, the result Of coalition between
his men and Bishops. leaving Rice, as the
representative OF Thurman, In the attitude of
the defeated party.
Another indication that Thurman does not
hold the key to the situation, Is the demand
made by Ewing Immediately after his nomi-
nation for the removal OF John G.. THOMPSON.
Thurman's fast friend and right bower. from
the craftsmanship Of the Democratic Exec,1-
tive Committee and the substitution ID his
place, as director Of the party machinery, Of
Len. Harris, the most prominent Tilden man
In the State and the recognized leader Of that
sentiment In Ohio. These facts do not appear
to justify anything like exultation on Mr..
Thurman's part; nevertheless, we are more
than willing to accept his construction OF the
matter.
As to the merits OF the respective candi-
dates, 1t must be said Of Ewing that he Ia a
snowy, dashing man, Of more than ordinary
ability, and he promises to make an active
and aggressive campaign. Moreover he was
q SOLDIER, while his opponent Foster, the Re
publican candidate, was never In the army.
This will eliminate from the canvass that

When q Legislature Ia New Granada sita
too long the people have very effective way
Of securing an early adjournment, BY march
ing In force to the capital and escorting each
member home with military guard. Such,
ii least. was the course Of the people Of New
Granada the other day. After the Legislature
Was adjourned In this manner q hundred
gums were fired In honor Of the suspicious
event, Bogota was illuminated and every
body was happy. The Chicago Times thinks
that this feature of South American politics
might be introduced into this country with
good effect. A legislative charivari now and
then might produce longer vacations and
fewer extra sessions, and thus afford some
relief to taxpayers.

A ISLANDER.

The Times has been guilty OF another I'M
Unsuitable attack upon the delegates In the
Convention from the country parishes, re-
yiving the impression which was made some
days since, that the paper was simply seeking
to sow dissension between country and city
In the interests Of the Republican party.
1t would be fer more manly to come ont
boldly and proclaim itself Republican
journal, and It would then receive the respect
due an open enemy and not win the contempt
always accorded secret foe.
The course OF that paper clearly Indicates
that 1t Ii seeking to ir:itate the delegates, by
abuse and Misrepresentation, and we are SIN
cere Id the belief that the object 10 to promote
Reputation.
The only gamers by such measure would
be the Republican party.
Kellogg would leap for JOY at the adoption
Of measures by the Democrats that would be
90 beneficial to ell OF his plans, and carry re-
Election upon his opponents. Clinton and
Dibble his old neutenants, would naturally
share his feelings.
However much we oppose the Views pre-
scented by the majority OF the debt COMMITTEES
We have every confidence ID their sincerity
and honesty. They are seeking to relieve the
people of the onerous burdens OF taxation,
and In doing 50 plans may be presented, and
we think have been presented, which would
only aggravate the evils OF which the people
complain, but It will not do to attempt to cor
rect mistaken views BY Misrepresentation
The DEMOCRAT will not attempt to use such
arguments with the Convention, nor will It
permit others to do 80 unchallenged.

For the year. which closed on the thirty first

the country $13o 9i2 49, From this showing 1T
appears that while the assessment of the city
Is not quite double that of the country, she

taxes which the country paid.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that the
London Stock Exchange had been greatly
agitated by rumors Of the precarious health,
and even death, OF the Emperor OF Germany.
We were afterwards gratified to learn that
these rumors were unfounded, and that the
health Of this truly great sovereign was most
excellent.
