A CRITICISM

The "Enquirer" States Its Stand ON the
New sherman Book.
Cincinnati. Oct 20.-The Enquirer ed
itorially says: "The Enquirer present.
ed yesterday enough about the new
book by Senator John Sherman to in
dlcate that 1t Is probably the most val
liable contribution to the political his
tory of this country ever published.
Sherman has always been a party
man, but history cannot be written
like a campaign document, and this
historian cannot expect to escape
harsh feelings and perhaps severe
criticism If he writes Of the times in
which he acted himself Sherman
speaks In high terms of the personality
and elouuence of Garfield, but saws
he was man lacking b w1 Ihyer
and changed his opinions easily. This
Is faithful picture. expressed In terms
Of reserve. Sherman might have gone
father and only reflected the views
Of contemporaneous republican polite
ians who had associations with the
martyred president and said that while
Garfield was a good stumper and quail
tfed to act In executive bodies under
direction and restraint. he was unfit
for leadership. Sherman's book gives
some independent views touching ex-
President Harrison that may be OF
immediate application: and his criti-
cism Of the Grant administration will
be of service in teaching some people
that under our system of government
all wisdom and practical knowledge of
affairs need not necessarily be CEN
tered In the chief executive. The
president Of the United States who
undertakes to run everything in per-
son is usually the most conspicuous
failure"
