No one candidate is going to tho front very fast, although Senator Sherman is said to be making rapid strides in tbe Souib. The same thing was said In 1880, however, and he was not nominated, and unless be shall develop some strength elsewhere than in the South and in Ohio It if thought he is not likely to fare any bettor this year. 0|fe result of his present prominence is tbat be le being made the target for democratic attack in and out of Congress, all of which Is not. to his discredit. John Sherman may never be President but be will live In history as one of tbe greatest statesmen tbat tbe topubllcan party has produced. Olobe Democrat: , "Thf fact cited by tbe Hon.
