Republican Harmony.

Tho statements persistently made that Secretary Sherman is not willing to give his whole strength to aid the Republican party in this campaign are not warranted. The Secretary is enjoying a brief vacation, but will do his utmost for the ticket nominated at Chicago. —Cincinnati Commercial (Moderate Republican). We incline to the opinion that if Secretary Sherman is really determined to “do his utmost ” for the ticket nominated at Chicago he should withdraw from the Cabinet. Reports of his mischief-doing come from all parts of the country. He has no policy but vengeance since the Chicago Convention took the conceit out of him.— Globe-Democrat (Stalwart Republican). There’s harmony for you ! It was the Cincinnati Commercial that scoffed at the idea of such a man as Garfield being nominated for the Presidency. But when Garfield was nominated the Commercial g wall owed him, record and all, Now it

wants the public to understand that John Sherman indorses the Garfield and Arthur ticket. Sherman may be compelled to indorse it, but it is poison for him. He is one of the great disaffected, and, as the Globe-Democrat points out, he knows no policy but Vengeance. The Republican leaders reported so far who will give Garfield a lukewarm support, or no support at all, are as follows : Roscoe Conkling (going to Europe). Don Cameron (sick and disgusted). John Sherman (will not vote). John W. Fomejr (will vote for Hancock). Leonard Jerome (will vote for Hancock). James G. Blaine (will not vote). John A. Logan (will gulp it down under protest). Matt Carpenter (probably won’t vote). Among the leading Republican newspapers in the country that are giving Garfield a barley-water support are : The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a paper that has never bolted the Republican ticket, and one of the most extreme enemies of the Democratic party in the United States. The Chicago Inter Ocean, the leading stalwart Republican paper of the Northwest, and never known since it was founded to treat a ticket so shabbily. The New York Times, leading stalwart Republican paper of the East. Looks upon the nomination of Garfield as a calamity, but promises to make the best of a bad job. Very much afraid Hancock will be elected. The papers which are giving Mr. Garfield about all the support he is getting are : The Chicago Tribune bolted the Republican ticket in 1872, and threatened to bolt again if Grant were nominated. The New York Tribune bolted the Republican ticket in 1872, and threatened to bolt again if Grant were nominated. The Cincinnati Commercial bolted the Republican ticket frequently, and stood pledged to the Democracy if Grant were nominated. —Chicago News:
