Gen. Sherman and the Presidency.
MIR. CALKINs THINKS THE HERO OF THE GEORGIA
CAMPAIGN IA THE MAN FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO
EoMINATE-THE SOLDIER VOTR AND THE DOUBT
FUL STATES.
Representative CalkinS said to STAR reporter
to-day in reference to the Presidential cam
paiga that he did not know what to make OF the
question OF Presidential candidacy remaining SO
long in doubt On the democratic side, he says,
Randall is getting up boom in his own state, and
other democrats have their aspirations but all the
booms are very fat. The republicans are in nearly
the same uncertain position. Logan is working his
how strong he could not say. Arthur, he says is
strong, but whether he has the working strength
necessary to carry him through the convention is
uncertain; Blaine Is strong TOO but his Is negative
strength ~ have received great many letters
from my friends in different parts OF the country
he said, and they seem perfectly at sea upon this
question But to sum the whole matter up 1t looks
very much as II Gen w. Il. Sherman is the man. It
looks as II he might be the choice OF the conven-
ton"
"How would General Sherman stand before the
country 2" asked THR STAR.
1.-The party would unite on him. and he would
carry all the doubtful states. He would be certain
OF election"
'Is there not some doubt about his being repub-
lican?" asked THE STAR. "SenatOr Sherman is said
to have expressed some such doubt"
"No," said Mr.. Calkins; 'hs views upon all i'm
portant questions are In strict accord with the prn
can for any one. He would be very strong
candidate and would get all the soldier vote"
"If Mr.. Arthur should get the nomination do YOU
think he could carry New York, Indiana and Ohio2"
asked THE STAR
ale would have much better chance In Indiana
than in either OF the other states, but think he
would carry them. 1t is hard to say how things
Will come out; everybody seems to be at sea"

Passage Of the Greedy Relief Bill.

THE SENATE KECEDES FKOY IT'S AMENDMENT.
In the Senate yesterday afternoon message was
received from the House announcing their contin-
ued disagreement to the Senate amendment to the
Greely relief bill. CThe amendmant required that
only volunteers should be taken for the expeditio)
Mr.. Hale moved that the Senate recede from its
amendment and let the bill go through. He thought
the eXigcncy too grave TO waste time over details
The Grcely party might perish through the delay
cauSedin passing the bill. MIR. COckren hoped that
Mir. Hale would exhibit the same yielding spirit to-
wards the House later in the session, when differ
enceS may arise upon important measures. In reply
to question from Mr.. Morrill, Mr. COckrell said he
hoped revenue reform bill would be among the
measures coming from the House, and that apprO-
come Mr. SALISBURY objected to giving the Secre-
tary OF the Navy authority to spend public money
without limitation, TO which MI. Butler replied that
this authority by the bill was vested In the Pres-
dent. and not In the Secretary Of the Navy. Mr..
Hale's motion to recede from the Senate amend
ment was adopted by q vote OF % to o.
