SENATOR SHERMAN withdrew his name
as candidate for the temporary chair
manship Of the Ohio Republican Conven-
tion with the remark that he would only
accept denomination for the Senator
ship as voluntary tender after the
election. Ihe New York Times SAYS:
The vulgar blatherslkite who has suifi !
Client influence with Ohio Republicans to
prevent their state convention from
honoring Mr.. Sherman by choosing him TO
preside temporarily over its proceedings
which means simply to give him All
opportunity to address the convention
will see TO it that there is no voluntary
tender after the election" Of another term
to the senior Senator.
II is remarkable that every state in
the Union is pr divided with some such
character as Republican leader as Fire
Alarm Foraker Of Ohio. The mission
Of the Republican party ended with the
war. There is nothing requiring leadership
now and the party consequently has no
lesders-no statesman. The party does
not need, cannot use Sherman in Ohio
Foraker Is the cock Of the walk and the
Republican party there as everywhere

In is explained now that Msrzbacher

only an apparent deficiency. It Is
simply a matter Of bookkeeping where
the accounts show that sMerzbacher owes
the company 1870, 900 on the face OF the
ledger, and nothing actually. That Is
all reasonable enough Anybody can see
the beauty Of such bookkeeping as that
accounting with mIscounts. It would
be well for the United States Treasury to
adopt that method, so that there would
be no necessity for Fostering" the

to appear that several banks owed the

ooncealment and delay in spending the
money already Appropriated. The River

tions aggregating nearly $25. 900, 900,
but the administration is spending It
as sparingly as possible. The ex-
penditure is, Of course, inevits BILE

Administration wishes to prevent the

only reported demand for $19, ,OO0. 600.

$l5,OOO,000. II the whole amount had
been demanded the Treasury would have
