Success.

Success.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 9.-Senatol
John Sherman was at the Union station
for half hour yesterday evening, and
talked very freely concerning things po'
litical. While there he sent a telegram
to his wife, informing her that he would
arrive home tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock. "G intend" said the Senator,
"to remain in Washington until Con-
gress adjourns, and then expect to make
number of speeches during the cam
paign."
In regard to having failed to receive
the nomination at Chicago, the Senator
said he was disappointed, and said fur
ther, in rather jocular manner, that
he thought most men would have been
under the same circumstances.
"Do you regard Mckinley as sincere
in his protestation against the votes cast
for him, and that he was true to you"
"Yes, sir. Major Mckinley is an hon
orable, manly man, and / regard him Us
u friend OF such sterling worth that he
would betray me neither in politics
nor in business. l cherish the warmest
feelings toward the Pennsylvania dele
CATION, who voted for me as longas there
was the least hope Of my nomination.
Pennsylvania people stood by me nobly
and ! shall always remember them
kindly"
"What about the Mills bill?"
at will passthe House and adesperate
effort will be made by the Democrats to
have it pass the Senate, but they will
hardly succeed there. Senators Hiscock
and Allison are at work upon a substi-
tute TO the Mills bill, which makes al
most rs much reduction in duties as
the Mills bill, but on entirely different
articles, which will pass, | am pretty
certain. The Senate substitute will sub
serve every interest OF the country far
better than the Mills bill.
During the campaign / will make a
number OF speechesin Indiana, touching
specifically upon the intimate relations
and mutual dependence OF high pro-
tective tariff to and upon the agricultural
interests. l noticed in a Pittsburgh
paper that the Democratic wool.growers
in this vicinity are very much dissatis-
fled with the low price OF wool, due to
the possible passage OF the Mills bill.
This is also true OF the wool.growers in
some of the counties in West Virginia,
in Eastern Ohio, in Texas, in California
and in all wOol-producing districts in
the country. Indiana will certainly go
Republican, and 80 will New York. In
the latter State Cleveland developed his
full strength in 1884, and the Conkling
following, which Mr.. Blaine didn't get,
together with some distinguished Pro-
hibitionists and number OF disgruntled
Democrats will vote for Harrison
and Morton and elect them. became
acquainted with Mr.lMorton when was
Secretary ofthe Treasury, and am surelno
finer, ADLER or cleaner man was ever
placed on any ticket. The Democrats
talk OF California going Democratic be-
cause OF Harrison's Chinese record.
Such talk is mere clap-trap. His posi-
ton in that matter was SO clearly the
only tenable and sensible one that there
is not u bakers dozen in the State Of
California that will vote against him on
that account. California is for Harrison
and and Morton by large majority, and
they will be elected"
In conclusion, Mr.. Sherman said that
he intended to retire from politics at the
end Of his Senatorial term and spend the
remainder of his life in all the ease pos
sible.
