WAR IN OHIO POLITICS.
ANTAGoNIsM BETWEEN sHER-
MAN AND FOSTER.
REPUBLICANS AT DAGGERs POINTS
A Quarrel That is Likely to Bring Hayes
Out as United States Senatorial Cmnda-
date Against Foster.

| CINCINNATI, Sept. 27.-John Sherman
| and Senator Ben Harrison stood side by side
| under the glittering chandelier at the re-
| ception rendered them at the Lincoln club
tonight. A line of carriages surrounded
two sides of the picturesque club house,
and many ladies and gentlemen passed in
and out of its heavy oak door. Both Of
these statesmen have been engaged In the
| Ohio campaign, and both have been sum-
moned to aid the Republican cause in Gin
| cinnati. 1t is the hope OF the party managers
here that by this means the two Republican
congressman and the Hamilton county
| ticket may be saved from the impending
| calamity which threatens the Foster canvass.
By detaching the locomotive and running it
into the deep sea they hope to save the Con-
gressional and county coaches In the rear.
The campaign in Ohio has a personal sig
| nificance beyond the election of Secretary
of State and members of Congress, however,
On the success of this fight depends, to a
great extent, Fosters chances as Sena-
torial candidate. 1t was for this reason
that Foster & Co. espoused the temperance
cause, to which they were opposed year
ago. They hoped by ranging the Germans
on the side of all that was unlawful and inn
moral to create a sentiment which would
compel the people of Ohio to vote on this
issue, believing that in that event the cleo
tton would be all one side. Governor Foster
was to be the apostle OF the new doctrine,
and the Legislature to be elected next
year would reward him with the United
States Senatorship. Murat Halstead and
John Sherman have declared that no such
issue is before the people. Sherman, in his
opening campaign speech, openly declared
his war on Foster, and said that he would
take no mans hobby into this canvass. In
retaliation Foster & Co. shelved him by re-
fusing to give him any opportunity to speak
except In the Western Reserve where tlev
believed ne could do no harm. Finding
that the State ticket had gone TO sticks SO
far as Hamilton county was concerned, the
local managers sent for Sherman to help
save the Congressman. By the contrast
between the defeat of the one ticket and the
success of the other, they hope to show Fos-
ter his mistake.
"Ihis is all a conspiracy on the part of
Foster d Co" J" said one of the most conspic-
uous Republicans to correspondent here to-
day, but 1t will not win, and Foster g. Co.
will find it out to their SORROW"
"Who is Mr.. Sherman's candidate for the
Senate "was asked.
why, R. B. Hayes, of course" was the
reply. You may smile," he continued,
warming up, shut you will find that when
the time comes to elect Mr.. Pendleton's sue
cessor the Republicans will support Mr..
Hayes very cordially. Mr.. Sherman's
friends are nearly all for Hayes, and the
very fact that Hayes is living so quietly la
Fremont now will be one of the strong
reasons for bringing him again into public
life Mr.. Sherman visited Mr.. Hayes at
Fremont only few weeks ago, and the
political situation was thoroughly discussed
by them. Foster has done more to defeat
himself in this campaign than anybody else
could have done in a year. Mr.. Sherman's
visit to Cincinnati has not been without its
effect, either, and Mr.. Hayes name has
been mentioned here i'll the past few days"

eyes, l think it did They were both
opposed by the opposite faction of the
party, and in this regard held a somewhat
'imilar position in the minds of Ohio Half
,reeds. Foster is for Blaine because he
lopes to tail Blaine's Kite. HAYES is not,
md those who dislike Blaine for attempting
Q steal Ohio away from Sherman at
jhicago will be given an opportunity of
Expressing themselves in that way"
SHERMAN is not the only man who is
eeking revenge in Ohio" said another
republican to-day. Amor Smith is not en-
irely satisfied yet "
"How is that ?''
"Well, Tom Young and Butterwurth
1rned Smith out of the Internal Revenue
fhee. Smith took his revenge ont on Young
y defeating him for the nomination. Do
ot be surprised If you and that he has
nifed Butterworth In the election"
