THE STRUGGLE FOR A PRESID EN
TIAL NOMINATION.
The Ohio man is in the field for
a nomination to the presidency.
He has always been a lucky man
in politics. Thurman was ten
dered tho office of interstate com
missioner, but declined. John
Sherman has placed himself
on the track for a presidential
nomination from the Republican
party. The Ohio man is strong in
politics. "Witness the good for
tune of Hayes, Garfield, Grant,
and in earlier times, Harrison. It
is often said that Virginia is the
mother of presidents. But Ohio
bids fair to take the lead. Vir
ginia cradled Washington, Jeffer
son, Monroe, Madison and later
still Tyler. As the record is made
up, she is one ahead of Ohio, al
though Tyler was an aooident and
not a fortunate one by any means.
If Sherman should get the Repub
lican nomination and should be
elected, Ohio -would be even in
the presidential race.
Stranger" things have happened
than that John Sherman should re
ceive the next presidential nomi
nation. Sherman is an adroit pol
itician, and he has the advantage
of a very good political record.
The additional advantage is that
his brother, Gen. W. T. Sherman,
a nominal Democrat, who has de
clared over and oyer again that he
would not accept any political
nomination, is working quietly for
John. The former has great in
fluence. He has abundant leisure.
Moreover, he has found an accept
able place. He did not like Wash
ington or St. Louis. But he likes
New York, the headquarters of
politicians. Suppose this influ
ence extends far enough to carry
New York in the next national
Republican convention? and that
John Sherman, by virtue of his
personal influence, can carry Ohio,
the chances then for his nomina
tion would be good.
This is the possible new phase
of oolitics. It is not assumed that
Blaine's political noso is to be put
out of joint, only that he has a form
idable rival in Sherman, who has
loomed up in Ohio and elsewhere,
and is to make a determined effort
for the nomination. He was the
candidate seven years ago at Chi
cago when Garfield received the
nomination. The latter said:
"What will Sherman think of me?' '
Garfield had worked long and late
for Sherman and had not been
successful. The latter for some
reason would not take the highest
office in the cabinet under Gar
field. If the nomination were to
be made to-day by the Republi
cans, Blaine would almost certain
ly win. No one can tell what
change may be wrought in the
next few months. But to-day
there are just two Republican
candidates prominent in the field.
These are Blaine and Sherman.
The Ohio man haB the tradition of
luck on his side, and the Maine
man has the reputation of an inde
fatigable worker. Other candi
dates may loom up in the Repub
lican field. The "dark horse" is
sametimes brought in as the dis
turbing element.
At this date the Democrats have
no very prominent candidate, or,
rather, they have not brought for
ward any one who attracts much
attention, unless it may be Presi
dent Cleveland. There is Randall
of Pennsylvania, Carlisle $Ke
tucky,and Hoadly of. Ohio, who
has become a citizen of New York.
At present the ex-governor does
not appear to be aiming higher
than & seat in the cabinet, which
would fit him just about as well
as a citizen of New York as of
Ohio.
It does not appear that ex-governor
Hoadly in going to New
York ostensibly to practice law, is
going out of politics. In short,
he appears to be much inclined to
kindle a fresh fire in the political
furnace. The ex-governor is going
to "stand by Cleveland, and the
natural inference is that the latter
is going to stand by Hoadly.
The steamer Tfmbria has broken
the record between Queenstown
and Sandv Hook. She left Liver
pool at 2 o'clook in the afternoon
of May 28th, passed out of Queens
town harbor at 1:04 o'clock May
29th, anchored off bar Sandy
Hook at 12:43 last Monday after
noon, thus making the run from
Queenstown in six days, four hours
and two minutes. The weather
was usually favorable. TheJZtru-
via made the best record hereto
fore in six days five hours and
thirty-six minutes.
France appropriates $1,627,500
a year in maintaining vast horse
breeding establishments chiefly to
recruit her army horse. This sum
was reduced last year to $1,348,
600 by the hire of stallions. For
the same purpose Austria-Hungary
spends $1,000,000 a vear and
Prussia spends $400,000 on the
royal breeding establishments, be
sides which there are fifteen other
depots maintained at a correspond
ing cost.
Ex-Gov. Hoadly writes that he
"cannot consent" to the use of his
name as a candidate for the va
cancy on the supreme bench, and
expresses his hope and belief that
"the appointment will go south, to
some Democratic lawyer who be
lieves that the constitution is in
writing and means what it says."
Minneapolis, with 50,000 Scan

Renews Her Youth .
2Xrs. Phoebe Chesley. Peterson, Clay
Co., Iowa, tells the followInR story, the
truth of which is vouched for by the
residents of the tewn: "I am 73 years
old, have been troubled with kidney
complaint and lameness for many
years: could not dress myself without
help. Now I am free from all pain and
soreness, and am able to do all my own
housework. 1 owe my thanks to
Electric Bitters for having renewed my
youth, and removed completely all dis
ease and pain."
