CHICAGO, Oct 2l.-The review Of the
book written by Senator John Sherman,
of Ohio, giving his experiences OF over
forty years ~ congressman, cabinet ofioer
and party leader. has raised storm OF
comment, especially as 10 the senator's
view of the action OF General Garfield
In accepting the nomination for president
In a convention In which he was the
leader Of the Sherman forces The review
SAYS that Sherman's book rather caustic-
ally criticises Garfield for accepting that
nomination, and while making no absolute
charges of bad faith, leaves IL to be in
ferred that Garfeld's action did not come
up to Sherman's Idea OF political honor.
Sherman, having his attention called to
the review, says 1t colors his statements
In a way not justified by the text; he had
not censured Garfield either directly or by
inference Editor Medill, OF The Tribune
of this city, says Garfield was not untrue
to Sherman; that the nomination was
spontaneous and could not have been pre-
vented by Garfield. Both he and Editor
Deyoung, of San Francisco, taking the re-
view as correct, say Sherman's condemna-
ton Of Garfield is the outcropping OF dis
appointed ambition.
Editor McCullagh, Of St. Louis, takes
the same view. General Harrison Is safe
from the interviewer, being strictly quar-
antined at the sick bed Of his little grand
son, Baby" Mckee, who has the scarlet
