IN Third street. si.atok shkkman satisfied WITH JI'KlSLEr. , Senator John Sherman, In a recent In tervlew. expressed his conviction that the estimate ot Oeneral Orosrenor, giv ing McKlnley 29 votes on the first ballot. was a conservative one; that a combina tion of other candidates against alcKln- ' Uye waa unlikely because they would not agree among themselves; and also that McKlnley would be nominated and elect . ad, and that this outcome would be satis- factory to himself. . Aa Senator Sherman - would not have expressed himself in this explicit manner unless be had been satis- fled that McKlnley waa sound on the money question, and that his administra tion would maintain the single gold standard, his utterance is invested with more than ordinary significance. No nu has higher authority to speak upon this Important question than Sen ator Sherman. His utterances wiil be accepted with more satisfaction than those of the McKtnley managers, who are acting from purely political motives, or the declarations of the state conven tion, which waa manipulated by the same managers In the interest of their candidate, and which adopted a platform Intended not alone to advance his inter ests but to catch rotes in certain doubt ful sections. Whatever Senator Sherman says will carry more weight with It, so tar as it relates to the financial question. the aggregate voice of ail the He- managers or the uncertain plank ston which the candidate stands. It Is reported and believed that If Ife ' McKlnley fat elected he will appoint John , , 8 toman secretary of the treasury. This v only m -hasises the convictions of the that McKlnley Is sound an the cones! saer question, and that he has " no sympathy with the free silver 1 to , 1 quackery. The advoaxe of sound , . currency would Htk nothing better than such an av.polntn.-nt. It would aatiaiy ' ' them lu all parts cf the country. They J would feel assured that the cursency question would .be settled upxi a con- . aetvallv and satisfactory basis, that the Versilinf uncertainty In business circles ' , simiki diaMppear, and that the country ' . him Id enter upon a new ;ra of pros- , The personal frivt.ds and supporters of a !'"at auldate liot actively engttfel In ex ' pedttiiig his boom are better qualified ' to speak for that candidate, and their - ttUcraneef command more confidence and ' rasprtt. and are tnvesled with more au- ' (horl'.y, than .hose of party managers v who, s In this case, for instar.ee, teil v: jiiy half truths in order to capture votes in silver states, or even than those , el the candidiU himself, who woul.l be -' somtihlnx less than human if he did not " ' seek to advance his political interests by cajolery, expedioacy' and adroit trimming where votes are to be caught As Sena ator Sherman is not a candidate hlm " self, and 1 not a McKlnley manager, his declaration Is of the upmost aignin , cance. It Implies not alone his belief that McHJnley will be nominated upon a platfuroi of honest money, but that he will be elected and that he will have a secretary of the treasury who will so administer the finances of the country as to give satlnfactlon to the business community and silence the free silver clamor. Nothing more assuring has been uttered thus far In the preliminary stage of the campaign than Senator Sherman's declaration. There is no mis taking 1U meaning. This Is the way a country contemporary puts it: "Let us say '.hit your local Issues but 5(XI copies every week. The estimate accepted all over th country Is that there are on an average live renders to every paper. This makes t500 readers weekly. It would cost you 3 In stamps alone to send a circular to each of these 2,5J people at once, to ay nothing of the cost of stall m-iry, printing and time required to get the addresses and write them. Your local paper will print your circular In Its col umns and run It a month, und thus bend It to those 2.&X) people four times for less than half of Thus those merchants who are using their local paper have the same advantage over ihos.; who do not, that a merchant who mails 2,VJ0 circulars r price list weekly wouia havj over sue that never prints a line or says a word." - A year ago the Rspubllsans elected their state ticket in RhoJe Island by a plurality of 10,800 and got ill the mem bers of the general n3embly but night. This iyear they hava elected their gov ernor by the same plurality and have all the member of the genaral assembly but thre. Therefore It -ippears that In Rhode Island, the first state to hold a general electldn this year, the tidal wave of 1C9I-K has not pent It force. In that manufacturing state there are no Indications of a Democratic reaction. There Is nothing to suggest that the mill hands have become reconciled to the Wilson-Gorman tariff and It insufficient protection. Wh. Is true of Rhode Inl and ran be tuken in true of all the mnnu f:cturlnK state In the Rat. The mn. of the voters have rondo up thtr minds thnt the IVmocrat onnot Icgl-Oate wise ly concerning Iml'mtrtil affair. The next election In b Northern Mate still be In Oregon In June. Thnt will go i Rhode Island h gone. It Is to be hoped, and so will Maine when It voles In Sep tember.

New Tork Herald The Mlchaux Club, the fashionable wheeling ortrnnlsatlon of this city, had a music tide on rTlday evenlns; last at Its reeulnr place of meeting. Howman's Cycling Academy. The feature of the occasion was the dancing of the Virginia reel on bicycles. The club contains among Its members some cf the mist exivrt riders, and the "Mlcha.ix drill." in which the wheelers go through a number of complicated evo lutions, has already become famous. The rtel Is gener.ily danced by eight couplet-, who ranee themselves In two lines along the hall. In this case the two end couple ride toward the center and around each other, back again to their places, the other In the dance standing alongside their bicycles ready to mount at a given signal, and then following the leading couple around the hall, until all are again in position, tne head couple going to the foot The figures are then repeated until all the others have gone through the same evolutions. The riding Is done very rapidly, the music playing at an extreme ly lively rate am! the wheelers keeping pace with It. No collisions ever occur, and the rider have to be exceedingly alert to preserve the proper nusltlon. aa a slight hitch would cause much trouble. The picture as the figure of the dance are rtdden Is an exceedingly pretty one, and the Mlchuax Club I the only body of cyclists which accomplishes It to perfection. The dunce was led by Mr. John FT Roosevelt with Miss Hawley, the others taking part being Misses' Paddock and Wilson. Mr. E. W. PowBng. Mr Dr. Miner and Messrs. Fargo, Clark. W. A. Haines and Loois Pabler. Among other who are especially ex pert In the evolutions of the "Mlchaux drill" may be mentioned Mr. Arthur Roche. Mrs. Wilbur Kloodgood'. Mrs. Chapln, Mrs. Markwald. Mrs. Andres. Mrs. Toung. Mr. Carpenter, the Misses Stevenson. Miss Pollock. Miss Remsen, Mrs. Wilson, Dr. Trowbridge, Mrssrs. Ttlford, Myers, F. A. Otis. Williams and Carpenter. 1 After the dance a collation was' served In the club room. It Is proposes? to have a fancy dress ride by the club shortly after Easter. STOPPED A BOAT.
