JOHN SHERMAN'S SCHEME
To Prejudice the Ohio Republicans
Arnina1 the Ah mi N isfrnfSOn


"say, Mr.. CRITIC" snid an Ohio statesman
yesterday, 81 want to make an observation
that will be OF interest to your readers"
swell, out with It,"
ITO begin with, I am, as you know, q Repub.
lican. have been honored on many occa.
sions by the Republicans OF Ohio with places
of honor, trust and pront, and know my peo-
pie and know John sherman. have never
been supporter Of his, nor have asked OF
him favor OF any kind Nor havo asked the
present Administration for any favors The
point want to get at is this: Sherman Is doing
all he can to prejudice the Ohio Republicans
against Arthur. Ho docs It In this way;
Men come here and 60 to him for
favors. he says to them that 1t is impossible
for him 10 do anything further under the
present Administration; that Pendleton has
more influence with It than he has. He docs not
try. Tho men go away impressed with tho idea,
owing TO Shermans child-llke and bland way
of stating the case, that IT is true that PEN
dleton is great power. Now, know that he
does 1t for no other purpose than to got up
bad feeling against the President 50 as TO got
him out of his way for the Republican nomina-
tion for President. 1t won't win. John Sherman
can't carry Ohio in OF. out OF the Convention.
This YOU can bet on"
