CHICAGO, June 13.-Uu ited States Senator
John Sherman reached Chicago to-day. To-
morrow he will leave here for 81. Paul TO
make an extended trip over the line of The
Northern Pacific railroad, and will probably

is solely for pleasure, will occupy several
weeks. This afternoon he visited the Rail
way Exposition. A reporter subsequently
found him at the Grand Pacific Hotel in
good spirits. In response TO a remark he
said:
HNo, did no, care to make the race for
Governor, and thereby imperil Republican
sscendancy in the Senate, when there were 30
many men whe could lead the party Just as
we'll az I could. They made very good
nomination. / do not see how it could have
been better. Judge Foraker will be g strong
candidate and will be elected. He cannot
win without the earnest support OF the entire
party, but that he will get, for the Repuhii-
cans Of Ohio are determined TO carry the
Stale this year."

regard to the liquor trafhc?"
"The Germans are, generally speaking,
good Republicans, and are really atemperste
people. They have always claimed to be
willing to pay a tax on the sale oil beer aud

being passed 10 other States. Ii they mean
