John sherman Talks.

In recent iuteryiew Senator John Sher
man said
IL DO not regard the present result as an
Endorsement Of the Mckinley bill or a de-
msnd on the part Of the people for radical
tariff legislation. There will undoubtedly
be some members Who will regard it as such
but 1 hardly believe the party will enter
into any extreme legislation Of this kind.
Il would not favor any great increase Of
duties. On the stump in the campaign
said very plainly that was a moderate pro-
tectionist and wanted only such duties as
would insure fair rate of wages for the
workiugmen of this country. ] believe in
so placing the duties as to allow healthy
foreign competition.

the question in 1890 because they had alb

4 Private Letter Publicly acknowledged

Dear Billy: Old Jefferson did well at the
last election, but when | switched my tele-
phone to connect with other parts OF the
country I learned that we did not get as
many ounces of satisfaction TO the ayoirdu-
pois pound as we expected. The fact Is,
our Democrats got off their trolly, and l
suggest did not shake the bottle as directed.
The school session was rather short Tor the
tariff schooling needed, consequently we
failed to pump the thing up in sufficiently
large paying quantities.
When all the Republicans aud one-haif
of the Democrats hang on by the nose and
pick cherries with both hands, it proves to
be more than au ordinary Democratic can
didate can stand. Now that the Democrats
have engaged in the delightful pastime OF
cutting each others throats. and having
buried the dead and carried the wounded to
the hospital for repairs, they will get togeth-
or at the next election and make better rates.
If any one has an idea that the old Dem
ocratic party, that has stood these many
years without hitching, has been lost in the
bushes, and no Que will offer to go back and
look for it, let him wait until the next cleo
ton before he counts up his profit and loss
account. For the present we can only laugh
with the crowd, and cry in sympathy with
the wronged and afflicted in the meantime
ne will tarry till our hair grows-.hen we
will be ready to receive company and do
business again at the old stand.
Yours truly, SAM CLOVER.

Shern,am's"No.'

The Philadelphia Record says "No
speech that Senator Sherman made in the
canvass Just closed was half as effective as
the simple no which he uttered in response
to the New York Worlds query as to wheth-
er the Republican triumph was an endorse
ment Of the Mckinley tariff law, and Gov
euor Mckinley himself, although he spoke
twenty-five times day, said nothing SO
full of political significance. McKiuleyism
is dead, aud neither Reed nor Sherman will
wear black to lis memory"
