JonN SHERMAN blew his first blast
in the campaign at Pixies Opera
House, Cincinnati, on Monday night
lat lie speech was the old one
about the great service the Republican
: party has rendered the country, in
general, and Of his own almighty SER
vices in making resumption a success,
in particular. lie was interrupted
during his speech by a man. who hal
loed, "Now tell us something about
Arthur; why you kicked him out Of
; the Custom House at Washington,
and yet the Republican party nomi.
mated him for Vice President ?" and
here is his reply
"General Arthur was removed iccause
he did not efficiently, as we thought, per-
form his duty NJ Collector Of the Port Of
New York But no word was ever uttered
by me against bic character A. man or
his standing a. gentleman. Well, I would
not have advised his nomination, but hav-
ing been nominated on the Republication
ticket | would vote him thousand times
before would vote Tor William II. Eng
lish.r
That is what Sherman says now.
When he wished Arthur removed he
said that he had not given the duties
Of the office the requisite diligence
and attention; that gross abuses had
continued and increased during bis
incumbency; that he paid out money
for no services; that the expenses Of
the Office had increased while the col.
lections had diminished. that be had
winked at brides or gratuities in the
nature of brides, and that he refused
to correct these abuses when impor-
tuned to do so. lie said all this and
more. too, and still he "never uttered
word against his character as a man
or his standing as gentleman DO !
honorable gentleman abuse a trust in !
such a manner Aud is Arthur a
Ct man to be again trusted These are /
questions which We hope Mr.. Sher-
man will not fail to answer in his
next speech.
THEY had a. Governor's Ball at
Grayson's Springs few nights ago and
Just before it commenced onr silly old
Governor was called on TO make
speech. OF course he was totally un-
prepared for such thing but he fred

through gave the reporter the whole
thing written out, for publication

he said was al feel that | now occupy
the highest position of any man in the
United States and if continue to adj

end of my term as satisfactorily to the
people of my State and myself as

his egotistic old soul, he has listened
to the hattery of a few toadies, until
he really does believe that the public
