| man and others.
WASHINGTON, June s.-Just after the
thirty.fith ballot Secretary Sherman
having received information that sue
cessful break to Garfield might be made,
telegraphed Governor Dsnnison to throw
the entire Ohio vote for Garfield, and to
request the Sherman men in the North
Carolina and other delegations to drop
him (sherman) and go for Garfield. 30
far as can be learned all the Sherman men
went to Garfield. He was, indeed, sher-
mans choice.
When the news Of Garfeld's nomina-
ton came few moments aiterward, Sec.
retary Sherman was in his office with q
few friends. He was perfectly cool and
sell. f.possessed. "An excellent selection,n u
he said, land one that we can elect. l am
glad that he Is nominated. 1t Is the best
nomination that could have been made.
all things considered. twill at once heal
all divisions. Garfield can carry Ohio and
Indian and the doubtful States. In short,
he can be elected. His nomination will
heal all divisions. aud that Is the main
thing. II beats Grant, and that is another
important consideration. / fear we could
not have elected Grant. We could not
have stood up against what appears to be
an overwhelming sentiment againsta third
term. That was our chief danger as a
party. Republicans who like Grant per-
sonally would not have voted for him, and
that was the danger in nominating him.
This third.term issue Ia now settled for
ever"
Secretary Sherman's friends, as the news
spread rapidly, filed Into the room and
shook hands with him, each one saying,
"Well, I'm sorry you failed, but Garfield
is my second choice" "And mine, too"
the Secretary would reply, "and l am
satisfied It was the best that could have
been done. It is splendid nomination
and one Of great strength"
As soon as 1t was evident that Garfield
was nominated, Mr.. Sherman sent him
dispatch congratulating him, the country
and the party on his nomination.
GENERAL EXPRESSION.
Among the people assembled around
the Treasury and in front Of the bulletin
boards there was general sentiment Of
satisfaction over the nomination. Your
correspondent heard repeatedly such ex-
pressions as this: "Its the best that could
have been done" "He will carry Indi-
aua." "Iam glad we are to be rid Of the
Grant crowd, anyway"
This was heard very often. The Grant
crowd, which means Fred. Grant, Bah.
cock and the Dents, who run the White
House, are unpopular here, and there is
great rejoicing that they are not again to
be installed in power.
Another expression on eyerybody's lips
is: "The thiId.term is settled foreverr."
There is general feeling OF relief that
this is settled, and that whatever Grant
may be, he will not be President again.
pREslpENT's ENDORSEMENT.
President Hayes expressed himself as
delighted with the nomination. at is
