Ohio Speeulati0ns.
JOHN SHERMAN.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The efforts
to belittle the availability of Senator
John Sherman as a candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio on the republican tick
ct, put forth in sapient dispatches to
the New York Times from Columbus
aud Cleveland, bear the ear-marks Of
having sponsor in Governor Charles
Foster. There is belief hereabouts
that Foster has organized a literary
bureau to copper any popular feeling
in Sherman's favor. 1t is true tina. no
one has asked Senator Sherman to be
a candidate. and it may be true he has
no desire to be. Still, it will not be de-
MED that Sherman is not too old to
have lost ambition, or too obtuse to
know that If Ohio is lost
to the republicans no Ohio
candidate will receive any con-
sideration in the next national republi-
can convention, A man who wants TO
be president of the United States-and
especially one like. John Sherman
will not let golden opportunity slip
to leap to the front as a candidate.
To Governor Fosters mind the next
state canvass in Ohio may preient only
local issues, because he has his eye
only on what the state can absolutely
giye-the senatorship. No matter
how the state magnates may endeav0r
TO shape the canvass, a mere novice in
politics must know what il will be of
national importance. The public mind,
more especially, so much of il IS
makes q study OF politics, is now inn
bued with the idea that, because of
disturbing local issues, Ohio Is at PREF
ent q democratic state. The one,
then, in the republican ranks who can
lead canvass and snatch victory out
of the jaws of defeat will al once ac-
auire . prominence which could not
otherwise be gained. Why may not
history repeat itself7 IN 1875 tie &c
publican party was very much IN the
same condition il now Is. e chose as
it, national candidate Rutherford B.
Hayes-not because he WAS by any
means a representative man of the
party, but because with him as can
didate it was reasonable assured that
Ohiois electoral vote could be kept in
the republican column. Il Is jnst rs
necessary for national success In 1884
to keep Ohio In the republican line a.

The question Is, who can do iif

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-The ex-

Templar are not altogether successful
yet in arranging for accommodations
for the visiting commanderies. Only
two hotels, the Occidental and Liok's,
have agreed to contract for any def
mite numbers. The others say they
will stretch their accommodations to
the utmost, but will not contract. The

ing will be held to-day, of the commit

The Indian Raid in Arizona.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The fol-
lowing dispatch was received to-day:
WHIPPLE BARRACKS, A. T., March 26.
-Scc'y Teller, Washington: Your dis
patch received. The outrages just re-
ported have been committed by small
raiding party of Chiricahua Apaches,
coming back from Mexico, where they
have been living since they left here
one year ago. Up to the present mo-
ment seven persons are known 10
have been killed on our side Of
the boundary. Troops are in
pursuit. So far az threats made
by the people of Tombstone are con-
cerned. 1 am in full sympathy with
them and should be glad to learn that
the last of the Cniricahuas was under
ground. Tney are an incorngible lot.
Ten years ago when other Apache
bands were whipped on to the reserya-
ton, the Chiricahaus were specially
exempted by the government from
this same subjugation. Since then it Is
believed they have killed not less than
one thousand persons in this country
| and Mexico. They are constantly try ing
u stir up mischief among the agency
Indians, and SO long as they can run
back and forth across the border this
territory and New Mexico must look out
| for trouble. They are the worst band
of Indians in America. Agency Indians
are behaving well. Not one has left
/ San Carlos and their assistance can be
relied upon, in case all Chiricahuas re-
turn, as they may do, If pressed by
| Mexican troops or desire of plunder.

Libel Suits.
JESSE JAMES AND MRS. HTrE.


LOUISVILLE, KY, March 27.-Some
months since the Courier-Journal pub
lished an exhaustive article descriptive
of the beunts of the James gang in
Logan county, Kentucky, where lived
George B. Hite, the uncle of Frank
and Jesse James, at whose house the
robbers were in the habit of stopping.
Wood and Clarence Hite, sons of old
Hite, were members OF the James
gang, the former being killed BY one
of the James boys or Dick Liddle,
while the latter was sent to the MIG
souri, penitentiary for twenty years for
completely in the Blue Cat robbery and
wa pardoned a few weeks ago, and
died about ten days ago. In the article
in question the above facts were de-
tailed, together with others to which
the Hites objected and filed two libel
suits against the Courier-Journal for
$50, 900 and $4,000. Among other
statements was one that Jesse James
was said to have alienated the
affections of Mrs. Hite; that she had
left husband and home. The Courier
Journal went to trial on the $25, 600
case on what the lawyers call "plea
of confession and avoidance" in other
words it admitted the publication of
the article complained of and said it
was true. A large number of witness
es heard for the defense substantially
sustained the truth of the article.
Mrs. Hite took the stand for the plant
iff. She admitted having become the
neither of child a very few months
after her marriage with her first hus-
band, but denied being intimate with
Jesse James. To-day 7. I. Crittenden,
governor of Missouri, took the stand
and testified that Geo. B. Hite. the
husband of Mrs. Hite, told him last
spring that Jesse James had led his
boys, Wood and Clarence, astray: that
he had been the cause OF separation
between himself and his wife, and
Jesse ruined his domestic happiness.
This closed the testimony. The case
will be argued tomorrow. The matter
has attracted much attention, the
court room being crowded. A large
part of the testimony referring to Mrs.
Hite, who is comparatively young
woman, was of very lively character,
tending to sustain all and more than
the original article charged. The ver-
dict will probably not be reached be-
fore Wednesday.
