WASHINGTON, Sept. az, 1891.
Senator Sherman has written d lcttei
that Is far from taking the rosy view OF Tie
republican prospects In Ohio that Is pre-

CARDS II as lnperaiiyely necessary that
e,erv republican voter Of the state Of Ohio
now temporarily "a Washington, shall al
once return 20 the state IN order 10 help
brace up The weak kneed members of the
party who arc showing disposition either
TO vote against their Cd pary or TO stay At

said That The department officials have In
lImatcd that all voters employed therein
may take thirty days leave with pay
whethef their annual leave has all Been
used or not. Evidently Sherman isn't
figuring on any fifty thousand majority.
Speaking Of Ohio, 4 i credItable to the
prominent republicans nov in Washington,
that they. e. q man, condemn the recent
attempt by certain members Of their party
In Ohio to make Governor Cappbell's
private business transactions the basis Of
an attack upon him.
Attorney General Miller, II rumor be
true, IL sgain 10 be made the victim Jf In
diana politicians by being compelled to give
up the seat upon the Federal bench which
Mr HsrrIson had promlssd him In order
that another Indiana republiean--John NJ
Butler. onee the law partner OF the late
ex. Senator NcDorald-may be provided
for. Ills IL ha I'd lines for Mr Miller who
has ever since Mr. IIsfriscn became presi-
dent had bis mouth puekered up prepar-
atory TO taking life time suck at the
public ieat. A. patient waiter he Is
success.
Representative Mills opponents for the
Speakerthip, have, some OF them, tried TO
make II appear that In his recent speeches
In Ohio he took different position on the
free coinage OF silver from tina. which he
had for long time previously occupied.
This Ia an attack upon the rugged honesty
OF Mr. Mills that his lrierds resent. One
Of them said; -Mr Mills Ohio speeches
do not announce any change sShsteyer In
his views touching free coinage. He opens
his speeches with the distinct statement
that he l. now and ever has been a free
coinage man. What he does say, howev-
CT, and with great emphasis, Is that free
coini &C will not produce the far reaching
effect that its warmest advocates hope for
and that Il will not relieve the distress un-
der which the country is alleged to be suf-
iering. This, Mr. Mills says, can only be
accomplished by lighter taxation and a
ireer foreign trade. Now,so far from this
being a new pfonuncismcnto Of Mr. Mills.
II Is JUS, what he said 10 an address de-
iisered befor~ the legislature of Texas-a

peal than that contained IN his Ohio
speeches against relying on relief from free
coinage. When l, Is remembered that Mr.
Mills ambition Is 10 be elected TO the SEN

be seen that The bol1 stand he look befUre
