GOoQ news from Ohlo-oho'
The people Of Ohio know SHERMAN.
Here is what the Cleveland Piai" Deaeer
has TO say of his bloody-shirt speeches !;
Senator John Sherman, in an inter

the election Of n Democratic Governor
in Virginia doubly sure"
"Snch as SHERMAN. delivered in
Ohio.~ That is what an Ohio paper
saws of SHERMAN's speeches in Ohio.
What do you think Of such man?
Again The same paper gives us the
good news that SHERMAN's reelection
TO the United States Senate is not
settled matter. We quote:
"If John Sherman is elected senator
he must have "a votes. There will not be
At the furthest more than II Republican
votes in the Legislature. Suppose that
there should be, let us say, four Repub-
licans who would not vote for John
Sherman, what then?
alt would be a very sad time for
John. After having set it up so inge-
niously in the close counties, this aspect
Of affairs would be quite painful to
John.
Our information is and the PLAIN
Dealer is always very exact in its in
formation-that there are more than
four Republican members-elect of the
Legislature who will not vote for John
Sherman. They have made up their
minds, and will not do it.
"There are, we are advised, two and
perhaps three Of them among the Cuya-
hogo county delegation.
ave consider, TO put it mildly, that
the chances are that John will fail.
However, this ia all hypothetical
case. There may not be any Republic
can majority at all, and it will be money
in Johns pocket if there isn't"
How is all this to be explained con-
sistently with Judge BUCHwALTER's
usurping decision referred to by us
yesterday? Here is the explanation /:
1.-The Ohio Senate is Democratic be-
yond all question. Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Warwick will swear in the four
Democratic members from Hamilton
county, and if the Republicans want to
contest for the seats they can try it,"
Lieutenant Governor WARWICK is a
Democrat and the President Of the
Senate, and will swear in the Demo-
cratic senator's, let BUCHwALTER de-
eide as he may. We quote the Cleve-
land paper sgain:
"The Republicans are making
desperate effort to prevent the issuing
of certificates to the Democratic sena-
tors elected on the face of the returns.
1.-The legal complications are not
particularly interesting nor Of much
consequence. The fact is established
and will stand that the four Democratic
candidates for senator have been elect
ed and they will receive their certi6-
Gates Of election from the proper au-
thorities in due time. No sort of pro-
ceedings in the courts will stop this
final result, though they may delay it,"
That is the only remedy left to the
people when the courts are prostituted
to partisan purposes. Let SHERMAN
be defeated by all means. His defeat
would end sectionalism. We trust that
the Plain Dealer is right in its out
giviDgs.
