Sherman that tie was tlidtlled ont Of the nom-
inAlini by Faster AMI Garfield. .tsariieid's
Presidency has been Su acceptable, and his
general character so popular. that Fosters
nomination Of him, provided Foster did it, is
to his credit. The want Of !. sympathetic
nature is what beat Mr. Sherman fol. the
nomination. and that the SAME nature has
given Garfield his great l,o!d IN the country.

Edward Mcpherson, of PENNSYLVANIA, 81
candidate for Clerk of the next Congress, IT,
marked some years ago that Garfield was too
weak in the backbone 10 be relied III for par
tisan work in Congress. That very want Of
backbone accounts for the universal apprc- |

to the 'iiaslfaililiiuus side.
