SHERMAN ON THE OHIO ELECTION.
MANSFIELD, o., Nov. Ex-senator
Sherman was seen at his home to-day
and asked his views on the election.
He said:
II am induced to believe that we
have won q great victory. In many
respects it is but az Endorsement or echo
OF the fight of1S75 upon the financial
question. President Hayes and my
self then made an issue for the honest
dollar, and this election in our COM
monwealth only shows how the peo.
pie of this State are true to the best
elements of all life. I do not mean to
say, however, that the tariff has not
played an important part in the game.
So far as the Republican party Is con-
cerned, this result in Ohio fixes the
silver question as one of the issues of
the next Presidential contest, and de-
cides it, so far as this State is con-
cerned.
II am convinced that free coinage
bill will be passed by the Congress
which meets in December. I also be-
lieve that such bill as will be framed
will be vetoed by President Harrison.
That will naturally make free silver
the feature Of the next presidential
fight. In fact, it will be the leading
issue, upon which there are vast
differences Of opinion in both parties.
I doubt very much whether the De-
mocracy in national convention will
proclaim for free coinage. If they
should, there will be no other issue OF
significance in the next campaign.
II am not at all disturbed as to the
result in New York. In my mind, it
simply indicates the fact that Mr..
Platt's power lies in the great city,
and that the country districts are get
ting little tired Of the intrigues of the
metropolis and wanted to make that
fact manifest. I don't think it will
have. any bearing whatever upon the
next presidential contest"
M'KINLEY'S MISJUDGMEST.
CANTON, o., Nov. 5.-Maj. McKin-
ley said to-day, in speaking of the
Ohio election: 81 am convinced that
the judgment of our citizens does not
approve of the constant agitation of the
tariff issue, in the face of the fact that
it can accomplish nothing. 1t must
surely be apparent to all alike that the
