The Sherman Decline.

The Ohio friends OF Secretary Sherman
cannot conceal their alarm that his presi
Dental experiment is about to end in o
most notifying refusal of his own state
10 stand by him. His declaration at Mans
field that if the Republicans of Ohio do
not support him with substantial unani-
nifty his name will not be presented at
Chicago with his consent reveals the keen
ness of mis- feelings on the subject: and the
abiect appeals which his friends are max
ing to Mr.. Blaine not 20 contest Ohio with
the secretary show how desperate they
consider the case. The Cincinnati Gazette
argues pathetically with the Blaine parti-
sans. If, it says, they should succeed
by their hullabaloo in dividing the Ohio
delegation. and thereby putting Mr. Sher-
man out OF the contest, what would be the
consequence to Mr.. Blaine2 This would
narrow the contest to Blaine and Grant.
In that case, it is not probable that Grant
would show a stronger force than Blaine
LII the Blaine emissaries should succeed in
working up an appearance of division in
Ohio, whereby MIR. Sherman would be put
out or the race, they might look for the
third term nomination of Gen. Grant on
the first ballot, if not by reclamation, with
all the terms that he can get thereafter, !"
The astonishing weakness of the Sher-
man cause, which thus confesses distrust
OF the secretary's ability to carry his own
state, is explained by the plea of mismGn
Rgement. ''The cause of the secretary
has not been well handled" says the Gin
cinnati Commercial; Gin some quarters
there has been treachery, in others malice,
and in still others the fiabby front of in
oapability has loomed;" and it adds;
Our Mr.. Conger has not seemed to
know what he wanted. and has been agi-
tated over his own correspondence, which
is, after all, immaterial: bat discrepancy
between his views and the understanding
OF them probably caused the unfortunate
lateness of the state convention,
The excellent and able Garfield has
been so much occupied with the protection
of pulp, and voting for bill in committee
and against it in the house, that he has
had no time to give the presidential ques-
ton other than that expended in reading |
the letters and newspaper scraps in which |
there is an effort to make him appear to
be a bigger man than old Sherman"

Gen. Lewis B. Parsons and the Demo
cratic Nomination.


CCarlyle ml.) Constellation and Union-l
From the very favorable mention which
has been made throughout the state rela-
tive to the candidacy of Gen. Lewis b,
Parsons, since his name was first mention
ed in connection with the Democratic
nomination for governor by the press of
this section of Illinois, it is very evident
that his admirers are many and that his
nomination would be received with uni~
versal satisfaction; and not only that, but
would inspire the democracy with hope
of success in our state canvass this COM
ing fall. Without disparagement to any
of the eminent gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned in the same oonnec-
ton, we believe that If the coming Demo
cratic state convention but displays tbs
wisdom of placing his name at the head OF
the ticket of state officers. the work OF
the convention will meet the approval oil
the people and be endorsed by a majority
of their votes. There are no doubt other
gentlemen whose nomination would not
only meet the united approval of the
party but arouse within it much enthusi-
asm, yet we are of the belief that General
Parsons combines within himself greater
elements of strength than any other one
of these eminent gentlemen. Gen. Par
sons is known throughout the state to be
a thoroughly honest, pure and patriotic
Democrat; a man whose private character
is above reproach, and upon whose public
record there is no stain. He is man
born to lead. yet the fact that he never
sought an Office at the hands of the peo.'
pie in his life is proof that he is not
troubled with that selfish ambition which
is so often anobjectionable trait of character
in our great men. Though always Demo~
~ hAR~
patriotic motives alone that he has taken
an active part IN politics. His Democracy
is thoroughly seasoned and can be relied
on. He belongs to the old conservative
wing of the party. and is one of the solid
men of the state-a large farmer and an
able lawyer; and finally, he is man who
is peculiarly fitted for the Office of COVER
nor by reasons of his rare executive ability,
which was brilliantly displayed while oc-
cupying an important and responsible
position during the war. The nomination
of General Parsons would kindle blaze
OF enthusiasm IN this section of the state,
and we firmly believe it would have the
effect of wrestling Illinois from the Re-
publicans la the coming i'm portant political
contest.
The ARGUS has already declared its
preference for General John F. Farnsworth
for governor, and will continue to support
him as long as there is possible chance
of his nomination. While this is our
position, still we ohserfulIy endorse all
that is said of Gen. Parsons, and shou Id
he be nominated would extend hearty
support. While Farnsworth is our FIRST
choics, we know of no one who would be
moreheartily supported, should Farnsworth
not be nominated, than General Lewis B
Parsons.
