Johannes Benner.

The Washington Republic lead.
ing Greenback organ, has come out
boldly in favor OF John Sherm man for
President. Among other things it
says:
Strange as the assertion nav
seem, the Secretary's course within
the next two years is not unlikely
TO win him The esteem OF the Green
hackers. True, Sherman has pursued
his favorite idea Of resumption, even
though he has to climb over the vic.
Tins of It's slow process piled noun
tain high, but tina. is accomplished
now. lt is no long r. nightmare
to interfere with tae schemes of re-
lief for the whole country. Sherman
is very clear headed. He under.
stands pretty clearly what is needed
to establish prosperity. There is
no longer auy difference between
greeDbacks and gold to build up a
formidable opposition. 1t would
not be surprising therefore to see
Secretary Sherman proposing fnau~
cial measures which would meet
with the heartiest appreciation from
the Greenbackers. Let such things
come to pass. Let the Democrats
nominate Bayard and John Sher-
man would only have to pick up his
portfolio and walk over to the
White House, not to leave IL again
for four years. This may and doubt
less does sound very odd, but is is
good, hard common sense for all
that. Ii any politician has written
up Presidential slate on which the
name OF John Sherman does not APP
pear, be had better wipe out his fig
ures and make 81 me fresh calcula-
tons.

Another Crooked Incident"

Mr.. BRINpLEY, Of this county, has
introduced a bill in the Legislature,
which provides that every parent,

troll of any child of from seven to
fourteen years Of age, shall be requir-

least twelve weeks each year. unless
the condition of child or parent rem.

right to see that proper use is made

He is not the man we
wanted--not the man whose convic.
tons are based upon principles in
morals and philosophy that men Of
culture and science have made as Ger.
tainly correct as conclusions in math-
ematics-not the man always to be
depended upon, but he is a man a
thousand times better fitted for the
place than poor Reyes, and one whom
largo proportion of the people OF all
parties will be glad to have represent
them in the u. s. Senate.
Hence we are more than half con-
tent. The Internal ring that has bur-
