,yOHy SHERMAN.

The Ohio campaign was formally
opened on the Republican side last Tues
day ny John Sherman at Mount Gllcnd.
Ills speech was Characteristic OF Shor-
mans 1t was full of the past, n rcmlnis-
cence OF the war, aud careful avoidance
of issues now before the people II was
not distlnctlvcly a "bloody. shirt" speech,
but 1t was largely OF that nature. From
its tone the further course Of the Ohio
campaign may be- Inferred,
One cannot but admire John Shcrman's
colossal npudencc, Few men In the
country now would hesitate to resent as
an insult u charge of psrticipancy In the
great fraud Of $40 which stole the clec-
tolUl votes OF three states aud seated a
usurpcr in the presidential chair hut
John sherman boasts OF his work IN that
behalf, and glorics in its success. Not
only so, but with overwhelming holdncss
he charges that the present Democratic
president occupies his seat 10y virtue of
fraud In three or four Northern states
Satan robuking sn would be peerless
picture of hypocrisyi but John sherman
condemning fraud In elections would
shame the devil out OF couptonance,
Consistency is not looked for in poll
ties, II is an lnconyonient quality that
men divest themselves of when they pre-
pare to enter that pursuit. But most
men do Il stcalthlly and would not admit
the charge, John sherman cares nothing
for such tribes. lie has use only for what
Is of service to-day, yesterday may take
care of Itself, aud tomorrow can be pro.
vilcd for when Il ARRIVES.
Thorough harmony and active work
among the Ohio Democrats surely are
needed now, Ii over they were. That
state elects a legislature that chooses the
next unitcd States senator In place of
John sherman, and he Is a candidate for

10 be the next Republican candidate for

Democratic strength In the senate, So
much depending on this election, the
Democrats of Ohio cannot AFFORD 60 let a

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29,-lt is now

crime has been developed In this country
The explosion ON the excursion steamer

man named Adriancc Spevis, who carried
a large line of accident insurance.
His presumed intention was To disable
himself seriously, so he might enjoy
the Income of $3.50 per week which his
policies would have produced He was
killed, however, and the loss OF S35, 900
on the life of an apparent day laborcr has
so startled the companies that they have
united TO fight the claim. No progress
was made in tathoming the motive of the
man until his previous history was in
quired into. Pinkcrton's men now claim
that tifteen years ago he was mysteriously
shot, accidentally as 1t was declared,
while handling loaded pistol. He
received from several accident
policies sufficient fund to support
him handsomely. In his travels he went
