Sherman for President.

NAsHINGToN. May 1S.-The friends of
Senator John Sherman say he will retire
from the senate at the expiration OF his
term in anticipation of the Republican
nomination for the presidency i'll 1883.
Cold blooded and calculating John Sher-
man, it is said is not wholly free from the
superstition common among pubIlc men
that no member Of the senate can be elected
to the presidency. Senator Sherman has been
asked to accept the Republican nomination
for the governorship of Ohio next fall, but
he is unwilling to take the chances OF de-
feat, notwithstanding the fact that the
prestige OF victory would prove strong I'M
petus to his presidential boom. 1t is claimed
that Sherman is the most popular Republl-
can in the state, and his party can elect
him if it be possible to elect anyone. But
the result is very doubtful, and
Sherman is too adroit a politician
TO risk it. 1t has been said
that Blaine is willing to
give Sherman his influence for the presi-
Dental nomination, in return for which
Blaine will be given his old place as secre-
tary OF state. if the ticket shall be success
ful. Blaine's friends indicate this as nom
sense. They say Blaine is too great man
to play second fiddle to John Sherman OF
anyone else. He will be candidate him
self in 1888. and no possible combination OF
circumstances, they assert, can defeat his
nomination.

LATER DETAILS.

This afternoon has been quiet in Spring
Wells. The claims Of The strikers are tax
Ing definite shape. They assert that they
are obliged to work from Il. IN. to p.
III. tventy-six days il the month, at a rate
OF pay ranging froln so 70 $50 per month,
and that every rainy day, when
10 work can be done, pro
rortionate sum is taken out Of
their wages On the other hand, the bosses
claim this >32 to $50 does not include house
rent. which is thrown i'll gratis. The men
deny that the house rent is given them. and
want their pay rain or slime. The citizens
of Spring Wells are said to sym-
pathize with the strikers. During the
trouble this morning the son OF Mr.. Wolf,
proprietor Of one Of the brick yards, was
severely beaten by two strikers, for whose
arrest warrants have been issued. 1t is
stated that the men will prevent all work
about the yard tomorrow. Arrangements
have been made to quiet any disturbance
that may arise. The brckmakers. at a
meeting this afternoon, decided to employ
no more men until the trouble is settled, so
that the main cause for q riot is removed.
