sHERMAN,s ATTITUDE.

Not Known That He Wlll Resign From
 a Committee.
 Washington. June 22.--The question as to whether Representative Sherman will remain as chairman of the Repub- lican Congressional Committee is not settled by persons who are familiar with the work of the committee in this city.
 II is expected that this matter will be determined when the Republican Ma ttonal Committee meets here July 1. when both Mir. Taft and MT. Sherman will be present.
 It is believed that in advance of se- lecting a chairman Mfr. Sherman him. self has done nothing to determine just what part he will take in the cam paign. The position of Secretary Taft and that of Mir. Sherman so far as their official duties are concerned are not regarded here as at all Identical. The resignation of Secretary Taft was expected by every one. as it iss mani festly impossible for him to attend to at the head of the republican tick ct. There were other phases of the case relating to the propriety of filling a cabinet position and going actively in- to- the campaign which do not apply to the case of Mr. Sherman.
 There are many instances in which representatives have retained their po- sitions as member of the House Of Rep resentatives and have gone into cam paigns for other purposes. not resign ing from the House until the result of the campaign had been shown. Mir. Sherman win probably continue to he member of the House of Represen- tatives until March {. It is said here that in filling the ofice of Chairman of the Congressional Committee he will neglect no duty that he would have performed if he had not been nomin- ated on the republican ticket. In this view of the case many of Mir. Sher- mans friends here consider all talk of his resignation either as chairman of the committee or as a member of the House is purely speculative.

PAST PRESIDENTIAL ELEc-
TONS.
Memphis commerciaI-AppeaI.

In 1876 the democratic aid republi-
can parties were both united. The
democrats had a popular plurality of
250,935. and had a majority ii the
electoral college, but the electoral COM
mission, consisting of eight republi-
cans and seven democrats, by a strict
party vote, counted South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana for the republi-
cans, giving their candidate a major
ity in the electoral college.
In 1880 both the parties were again
united. The republicans had plu-
rality of 7,01S of the popular vote,
and an electoral majority of SO.
In 1884 the democrats were united
but the republicans, were slightly di-
Vided. Conkling mated Blaine and
the quarrel between the two hurt
Blaine somewhat in New York. AS
this state gave Cleveland a plurality
of only about 1,200 it is safe to say
the republicans would have carried
it but for the quarrel between the
two leaders, and if they had carried it
Blaine would have been elected. AZ
1t was the democrats won by a popu-
lar plurality of 62.6S3 and an electoral
majority of 81.
In 1888 the republicans were united
and the democrats were not thorough
ly united. A few objected TO Presi-
dent Cleveland's view on the tariff.
The republicans won by an electoral
majority of 50, though the democrats
had a plurality of 9S,017 of the popu-
lar vote.
In 1892 the democrats were united
and the republicans slightly divided.
The extreme protectionists who franz
ed the Mckinley bill went too far to
please a considerable number of re-
publicans Cleveland was elected by
an electoral majority of 10. and a
popular plurality of 3S0,S10. This is
the latest contest which has taken
place between the democratic and re-
publican parties in which the demo
Gratis won.
In 1896 the united republicans de-
feated the majority faction of the
democratic party by an electoral ma
jority of 80 votes and by popular
plurality of 601,S54. Again in 1900
the united republican party defeated
the majority faction of the democratic
party by an electoral majority of 1877
and a popular plurality of S4S,79e
votes. =.
In 1904 the united republicans de-
feated the minority faction of the
democratic party by an electoral ma
jority of 1876 and a popular plurality
of 2,545515 votes. In each of these
three elections the majority of the
votes of the democratic faction not
pleased with the candidate voted for
him, but hundreds of thousands eth
er voted the republican ticket or re-
NAMED away from the polls.
For TIE first time since 1892 unit
ed democratic party has candidate
in. the field and the republicans are
divided.
