Quay and Sherman.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Quay's
characterization Of Senator Sherman's ac-
tion as 'discreditable and dishonorable," has
caused quite sensation in political circles.
The row grows out of an agreement between
Mr.. Quay and certain members Of the Ohio
delegation about the division Of two treasury
appointments-the deputy commissionership
OF internal revenue and the solicitorship of
the same bureau.
After getting one appointment the Ohio
Senator Sherman claims that he knew moth
ing about the agreement which was made by
Messrs. Butterworth and Mckinley. He
temper, ut but say, that he 0sn Is still the warm
personal friend OF Mr.. Quay, and will con-
tinue to be such. The whole affair seems to
be misunderstanding that can be easily
corrected by giving Mr.. Quay's man one of
putting Cove Hart, the Ohio man, in another
position than solicitor of internal revenue.
