Sherman For Governor of Ohio.

a prominent Ohio Republican and
an ardent admirer of Senator Sher-
man, in speaking this evening of the
condition of affairs in the Republican
party in that state, said: AT no time
since the first organization of the
party has the outlook been so bad as
now. The fighting between the diff
ferent factions in the party has con-
tinued until it is feared to be beyond
control" 1t is understood that a
number of Mr.. Sherman's followers
in this city are contemplating plan
that may result in restoring harmony
In the party and result in the promo
ton of Sherman to the presidency.
The plan, it is said, is to invite several
of the leading members of the legis-
lature who are friendly to the senator
to come to Washington to act as
committee to wait upon him and as
certain whether he would ac-
cept the gubernatorial nomina-
ton next fall. IL think Mr..
Sherman will accept" said the gen
tleman, IF he can be persuaded that
he can reach the White House by the
way of Columbus; for, if he makes a
successful canvass for the governor
ship next fall, he will be the most
formidable candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination the following
summer of anyone in the party" The
nomination, it is believed, would only
be accepted by him with this con-
tingency in view. A polii ician who
is once afflicted with the presidential
mania never gets over it. On the
other hand, if Sherman should be
nominated and accept, the Democrats
would very probably put up ex-Sena-
tor Thurman as his opponent. In
that case the campaign would be the
most exciting one since the Brought
Vallandigham campaign. The con-
test would be close, for in the mind of
every politician in the country the re-
suit in Ohio next fall will indicate the
political complexion of the next adj
ministration in Washington.
Bethesda correspondent Franklin
Tennessee, Weekly: The Oldest man
known in these parts lives on Flat
creek, where he has lived, so we are
informed, ever since 1916. His name
is Henry Sclop; he came from Scot
land; his age is not known exactly,
but his statement is that he was born
in 1873, was married to Nancy Agent,
of Bradford county-now Marshall
in 1917. He has been widower for
more than fifty years. He has no
children, can walk about lively, and
has tolerably good recollection, and is

GALVESTON, March 26.-A diversi-
ty of opinion exists as to whether the
city council is invested with authori
ty to issue five per cent bonds to the
amount of 100000 to aid in carrying
on the harbor improvement, until an
other appropriation by the general
government can be made available.
without the necessity of appealing to
the legislature for an enabling act au-
thorizing the appropriation. The
mayor holds that the council pos
sesses this authority, while some Of
the best legal minds in the city ques-
ton this authority. The matter will
come before the next regular meeting
of the council for action, one week
from tonight. 1t is thought if the
council possesses this authority the
bonds can be placed at par among cap
italists here.
