Sherman on the Stump.
PHILADELPHIA, October 27th.-Senator
John Sherman addressed large audience
at the Academy of Music tonight, under
the auspices of the Young Republicans
Club. He said: There are at this mo-
ment two great controlling facts in Ameri-
can politics. One is the imminent danger
that threatens the overthrow of the econO-
mic and industrial policy built up by the
Republican party, and which, it has been
shown, has doubled the wealth of our
country within twenty years and treble3
its production. The second is the complete
success of what is known as the Mississippi
plan, by which more than one million
legal voters of this country have been de
prived of all the rights conferred upon
them by the Constitution and the law, es-
pecially the right to vote" Sherman spoke
at length, and awakened great enthusiasm
among his hearers.

81 800 out of it. Since then l have passed
a considerable time in Australia and San
Francisco He seemed familiar with the
names and doings of the various members
of the James gang. When we began talk
ing he removed the gag from my mouth,
but when the train reached point near
Pacific he replaced it so that could make
no outcry, in the meantime threatening to
blow my brains out if | attempted to call
any ones attention. Fotheringham's state
ments thus far have been remarkably clear
and straightforward, and free from con-
tradictiOns. The opinion is gaining strength
that the robbery was bona fde affair, and
that the messenger was in no way accessory
to it.
