The Race Between sherman and Taft
Tnft Ahead.

The contest for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor Of Ohio, although princi-
pally carried on beneath the surface, is
growing interesting
The friends OF JoUN SHERMAN understand
very well that his only chance for the Presi-
dcucy lies in his first being nominated and
elected Governor Of his own state. This
would make him formidable competitor,
even with GRANT, for the Republican nomi-
nation for President. Mr.. SHERMAN himself
knows this. Yet he IS coy and shy in his
movements, and affects not to desire the
nomination for Governor. This Is shrewd
on his part, because 1t Is very doubtful
whether he can get the nomination If he
tries ever so hard for it. A certain man in
the Republican party, who has been looked
upon as rather laid on the shelf than as an
active force in politics, stands very much
in Mr.. SHERMAN way. This man is
Judge TAFT, formerly Attorney-General
of the United States He has OBJ
tanned strong hold with the stall
wart Republicans OF Ohio. He has
plenty of money, and is not SO stingy about
the use Of it as Mr. SHERMAN is reputed to
be with his own though Mr.. SHERMAN's
rich friends among the bankers might put
him on an equality in this respect
But our latest private adviccs from we'll
informed sources represent TAFT as ahead
and likely to be nominated.
Are all things going to conspirc together
TO make GRANT and Third Term the Re
publican ticket, after all ;
II So then may all good influences COM
bine together to defeat It

sidcrably exceed tho normal disbursements.
1t was calculated that the duties levied by
the original bill would suffice to meet the
usual deficit but now that the burden OF
taxation covers almost the whole range OF
imports. the returns from German custom
houses must be proportiOnatoly large. For
the present, BISMARCK can alIOrd to postpone
hi. schemes Of state railways anda tobacco
monopoly, for he has reached his goal by
another road Already intrustcd for some
years to come with the power Of the sword,
he will now find himself for the first time
master also Of the purse.
On the face Of It, the acceptance Of the
new tariff is a triumph for the ccntralizing
policy Of the German Chancellor. His
friends will find further ground for satsfac-
tOn in the fact that point of Junction has
at last been discovered for the Catholic and
Conservative parties. IL is not impossible
that the relations of concord and cO0pera-
tion begun during the present session may
be fortified by shrcwd concessions on the
part Of BISMARCK in the matter of the anti
Catholic laws, and that he may thus bring
about the construction Of n stable and inn
posing government majority. There Is no
doubt, however, that the picture has another
side. II is extremely doubtful whether the
Catholic party, which now musters about
hundred members in the Rcichstag,
could bo held together for any other
purpose than that of resistance To the
CuHWkdmpf On the other hand, it is
already certain that the great Liberal party,
which before It's schsm commanded u ma
jorty In the parliament, will be knit
together aud acquire great momentum 10y
an attitude of rcsoluto opposition TO the
Chancellor. Tho leaders of the Nationals
and the chiefs Of the party of Progress are
now standing shoulder to shoulder. and
have undertaken to fuse all the forces Of
aspiration and reform into one vast popular
movement. They have on their side all tho
great commercial constituencies they will
work upon the popular discomfort kindled
by the oppressive legislation against the
Socialists, and sure to be infamcd by the
rise in prices that must follow the
imposition OF high duties on all arti-
cles of import With these elements of
strength may be coupled the inevitable
tendency TO disunion in the ranks Of their
opponents since no interest will be likely to
esteem itself sufficiently protected, or to
bear with complacency the burdens entailed
by the protection bestowed on others. That
was the experience of English Conservatives
in their great fight against Sir ROBERT
PEEL, and we are familiar in tho United
States with the extreme difficulty OF APP
peasing conflicting claims In the adjust
ment OF n complicated tariff.
In word, the German empire with its
new fiscal regime will enter on new phase
OF politics. 1t cannot be denied that BIS
MARCK has gained victory; but it has been
won by an alliance with enemies heretofore
| implacablc, and at the cost. apparently, of
violent and final rupture with the National
Liberal party.

We have in the San Francisco Chronicle
some interesting speculations concerning
Presidential candidates. The Chronicle thinks
the Republican nomination lies between
BLAINE and GRANT, and does not make so
much account Of JOIN SHERMAN as to men,
tion him. We are inclined TO think however,
that our Pacific contemporary will ascertain
before long that JOHN SHERMAN is more Of
candidate thanit imagines. II GRANT Is
nominated says the Chronicle, the proba-
bilty is that Senator DON CAMERON, n man
Of boundless ambition and great popularity,
will be put ON the ticket for Nice-P President"
There can be no doubt respecting Mr.
CAMEROS's boundless ambition, but no CAM
ERoN was ever popular. They have run the
H.a..iis'.. s.II l..'a- ila.a santras III Rings in
the aid Of corrupt Legislature, yet they
never ventured 10 submit their claims TO
popular election. But box CAMERoS's name
would suit very well with GRANTS, and, in
asmuch a. GRANT, election to n third term
would mean the surrender Of all depart
mcnts OF the Government to the control Of
such men. we might a. well begin with one
Of them for Nice-Prc-ident. This arrange

II l. not enough that we should take
warning by the example Of Mr. EDWARD
COOPER and be sure next time that we elect
n stronger man to the Office Of Mayor We
must do something more. We must reform
our system Of municipal government in
such n way a. To constitute 1t something

rhat esteemed 'lotuitc-t7t,'iatcf lavt sven:
ing that 1T is painfully evident that the
victory won last autumn Is in n serious
measure barren victory because Of the
existence Of a radically false and mistaken
system
Such Is the case. The system is radically
false and mistaken. and should bc radically
changed and reformed at the next meeting
of the Legislature

mated the better. 1t i, gratifying TO feel that
a result So devoutly to be wished Is likely

In a hurry and with a rush the Logisla-
turo has been transactlng business in the last
two days that should have been deliberately
considered two months ago. More than a hum
drcd bills were passed or killed Yesterday. Tho
title was announced debate was cut or and in
the confusion the members yelled ave or nay.
and that was the end Of that particular meas
urc. Moro and more every year does tho ten
dcncy to crowd n third or Il half Of the session 5
work into the last week become apparent. Care
ful and conscientious legislation is imposs bile
under such circumstances. Every member has
from ono to a score Of bills in which he feels
personal interest and which occupy his entire
attention. He has not the time to watch his
neighbours dishonest scheme which is being
pushed through in the hurry and confusion OF
closing hours. II is each man for himself in
the last three days Of the Legislative session.
This Legislature has developed even less in
clnation to work than did its predecessors.
The Friday noon adjournment to Monday
evening has been regular. and the evening
sessions have been less frequent than ever be-
tore. Much time has been lost in this way. and
the session. as u consequence. has been spun
out TO extraordinary length. and. in spite Of the
weeks and months. it has accomplished very
little OF value to the State.
