CINCINNATI, o., July 2l.-Senator
Sherman arrived in this city last
evening, and Ia response to queries
by reporters, said his Wait has
no political significance. Ex.Gov
ernor Foraker, when seen by re-
porter, said that Major Smith had
come to him at Sherman's request
TO know what his (Foraker'r) posi-

ference for the purpose of citing me
to appear, and compel me to ex-
pllcitly define my position, is only
another way of saying, get out of
somebody else's road, and all that
kind Of stua is simply nonsense.
When these remarks were re-
peated to Senator Sherman he said:
| never requested nor desired any
one to request Foraker TO withdraw
from the candidacy for the senate.
He has as clear and unquestioned
right TO aspire 10 this position as /,
According TO his statement he is a
as much as | am. / will
not scramble for the support of
the members OF the legisla-
ture, but If should be reelected
to the senate | would accept the
trust and perform II the best / could.
LICE PLENTY. There are apt to
be more lice than hops ON some of
the rich farm bottom lands in Polk
county. A gentleman home from
the Luckiamute says the crop is
liable to be destroyed about Suver
Spraying is impossible without
cutting out every third row, as they
cannot get teams in to haul the
liquid or get about with the pumps.
