sherman Suggested-A Document Circu-
lated Among New York Business Men.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The following ia thu
document that has been quietly circulated
among the business men Of New York for a
week past, receiving many signatures:
To the National Republican Convention:
The undersigned, citizens of New York,
recognizing the imperative necessity of having
as head of the Executive Department of the
nation man whose financial experience and
past political history are such as to command
confidence throughout the country, beg leave
Sherman as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. Such nomination will in our
Judgment tend to create and continue that
confidence in our financial affairs which is the
foundation of business prosperity. His able
administration of the Treasury Department
during period of our greatest financial diff
cultes, and his ability and frmness in carry
ing through the successful resumption of spe-
Gle payments are sufficient guarantee that he
deserves, as he has ever possessed and re-
tanned, the confidence Of the people. That the
country is on the eve of great financial dis
torbance is evident from current event. That
it is the foremost duties of all parties to do all
that can be done to avert such disturbances
will be conceded by all. The first step in this
direction is the maintenance of confidence by
strict rectitude. Integrity in The manage
ment of the financial affairs of the government
is the chief requisite to restore the business of
the country to sound basis. We sincerely
believe that these results can in no way be
obtained better than by selecting az a candi-
date for the Presidency of the United States
John Sherman of Ohio.

ular vote for Garfield was Lac, $50. The cleo
toral vote, 214. OF this vote the States and
districts favorable to Blaine cast total of g.
$50, 063 votes, representing 1873 electoral votes.
On the contrary, the States that have chosen
either a solid delegation or one having ma
iori,y favorable to Mr.. Arthur gave President
Garfield 6l0,700 votes, but they did not give
him an electoral votes. Mr.. Arthuc's fraction
al portion of the popular New York vote will
