Of the feeling in <) 11i<* in favor of the
nomination of Secretary Sherman for the
Presidency the Columbus (O.) State
Journal (Hep.) remarks;
" It is unquestionably true that at the
present time, at least, John Sherman is
tlie first choice of a large majority (per
haps four-fifths) of the Republican voters
of Ohio for President, and that if nomi
nated he will receive the solid Republican
vote, together with a larger Democratic
vote than has ever been east for an}' He
publican since the organization of the
party. Why. therefore, should there be
a doubt or question as to the propriety of
sending a solid Sherman delegation to the
National Convention?"
Secretary Sclmrz prints an article in
the Independent in reply to Colonel Kem
ble's statements about the removal of the
Polled Indians, lie shows that the re
moval of the Indians was ordered before
President Hayes and Cabinet came into
otllcc, and that he directed special atten
tion to their hardships in his first annual
report. He says, further:
" I desire to add here that personal ob
servation luis convinced me that the lands
on their present location are better for
agricultural and grazing purposes than
on their old reservation, and that they are
now far better boused and more com
pletely furnished with agricultural imple
ments and other appliances of civiliza
tion."
li Women in Kansas," says a corres
pondent of the Millwaukee (Wis.) .Vetrs,
" have the privilege of voting in all mat
ters pertaining to schools. As far as ob
servation goes the ladies have minds of
their own. They neither vote for the
handsomest men nor the ones their hus
bands tell them to vote for unless the
candidate is, in their opinion, the proper
one. Their votes cannot he bought.
They are universally on the side of mo
rality and temperance: hence the workers
in the temperance cause are warm advo
cates of equal suffrage. Election days
pass quietlv. The enrolling clerks of the
l egislature are ladies, also a large pro
portion of County Superintendents, who,
in every instance, discharge their duties
in a manner that gives universal satis
faction."
it, is a curious fact that just as this
Government is entering oil a war with
lotteries and their promoters, certainly an
act of extreme wisdom, whatever may be
the legal technical difficulties in the way
of its execution, the French Government
has authorized the promoters of the Paris
lottery to double their capital and issue
four instead of two million tickets in the
same. It was the results deduced Iroiji
the experience of France and other for
eign' countries in the iniquitous influence
of lotteries on the people that led this
Government to firmly set against
then), and now that this, the greater Re
public, has first begun to protect the peo
ple, it is significant "that the French are
once more giving way to the seductive
iniquity of games of chance.
The Democratic organs of Virginia are
In great danger of exploding with excess
of indignation, and are frantically calling
upon faithful Democrats to aid in blasting
the reputation of lifty-tlve " black-listed '
Democratic members of the legislature.
The Kichinond Ntatcx, the leading Dour
boa organ of Virginia, prints the names
of the obnoxious fifty-five in black letters,
enclosed with a heavy black border, and
demands that every one of the members
whose names appear in the list shall be
proscribed, politically and socially, b\
every true Virginiuan. The crime of
these tifty-tlvo wretched legislators con
sists in having voted for a "nigger" for
a petty State ofllce, when his competitor
was "a gallant one-legged Stonewall
Jackson Confederate soldier." It ifr ap
parent that things are not altogether
harmonious among the Virginia Democ
racy. The colored man in question was |
elected, hence the disturbance.
