John Sherman Speaks.

THE SITUATION DANGEROUS-EvERy MAN sHouLI
BE ON HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR.
A special TO the Baltimore american from Mans
field, O., November 7th, says: 'sThe Mansfield Her
aid publishes this evening the following interview
with Senator Sherman: The Herald representative
called upon Senator Sherman this afternoon, and
In answer to inquiries the Senator gave us the fol-
lowing interview: sit is manifest that the result
OF the election depends upon the state of New York
assume that Indiana and Virginia are democratic
and Michigan and Wisconsin are republican The
vote of New York will give large plurality to
either Blaine Cleveland, and concusivey settles
the contest in favor OF the candidate for whom it
votes have believed until to-day that New York
had voted for Blaine. 1 was so assured last night
by the national republican committee. l think so
yet, upon careful examination of all the papers and
returns OF to-day. But the estimate OF the New
matter in such doubt that will wait for the off,
cial returns or definite statement In detail
assures me OF the result, and will Loyalty stand
by 1t, whether it is for or against our candidate.
While the matter is so doubtful, / Will
not after to-day, raise my flag. think every con-
serVatiVe man OF both parties ought to keep cool
and doubtful. Each party suspects the other OF
fraud but the mass OF both parties will resist any
attempt at fraud or violence, and VIII stand by the
party that fairly wins. The danger we are pass
Ing through has been foreseen as probable, but
there seemed no way to guard againstit. Wemust
depend on the good sense and moderation OF our
people. Every man should be on his good beha-
v1or, keep In a good humOr, and keep down excite
ment" In reply to the question, "Do you attribute
defeat to the nomination of Blaine and Logan?"
Senator Sherman replied: "No, far from ii. Their
personal canvass was remarkable for discretion
and ability. They made no mistakes. The per-
sonal Charges ag inst Blaine may have taken from
MIN socalled independent voters, but he got others
that made up the loss. Ohio is all right. She is
always republican on national issues because she
is patriotic. We promised Blaine and Logan q
handsome majority, and we have given it to them.
