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

The Mich tux Club flo Through the
Measures of a Panee on Hlcyvle.
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.

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.
