PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Although Keifer is willing to accept
the nomination for governor in Obio,
yet the Ohio politicians are looking
forward to the effect which the election
in that state next fall will have upon
Republican chances for electing a presi-
dent in 1884, and they have wisely
concluded that to lose that state would
be to lose the presidency in 1884.
Therefore it is all important to carry
Ohio this fail. The question that
puzzles the mind of the Ohio politician
Is as to what man among them can
carry the state for governor. There is
very loud and prevalent talk OF putting
up Jehn Sherman for governor, who, if
elected, would thus be placed in the
line Of promotion for the presidency.
But it Is fortunate Cor the people that
Sherman can not be elected governor of
Ohio.

other consumers of the article have to
pay the enormous tax. This kind OF
