KANSAS CRY. July 2j.--The Star this evening
publishes a collection OF interviews with lead
ing Democrats relative to the expediency OF
fusion with tho Peoples party. Those inter-
viewed represent every faction in the Demo-

a remarkable unanimity OF sentiment against
such step and in favor Of an Independent
Democratic campaign.
The feeling that the cost OF such confition
would greatly outweigh the advantages is very
general. 1t is contended that tho benefits
would be OF temporary character. and would

The editor of the Ouaehita Telegraph
Bulletin fails to see on what the illus
trious Sherman'sn fame for great
military chieftain is built. He can find
nothing in Sherman's career to "make
him great" save his famous "march to
the sea-" whereas Sherman had nothing
in front to fear and no one in his rear
to dread. The men of the country
through which ne marched were all in
the army, and helpless women and chill
dren were all that he had to !"eoptest
his march, and he rode to the sea with
the sword in one hand aud the torch in
the other, and desolation remained in
the wake of his victorious army. If this
he greatness then is Cen. Sherman
great.0 And tbs Telegraph Bulletin is
precisely correct.
