At all events, tho reaction at tho manner In which It {s known that some of those delegates have been secured will bo injurious tothe Sherman in- terest. Similar expressions of option are bee coming quite {frequent in the Enstern press. Tho New York Times of to-day, for instance, says: “ Evidence is accumulating that Mr. Shorman is quito capable of sveuring the Presidential domination by unworthy means; that he {s eA expablo of stating some things other han the truth of the political freedom © his subordinates,” The Temes also says: antire campalyn of Mr. Shermun jn the Bouth js an impudent burlesque of the Civil-Service pro- fession of tho Administration, ovor which he ex- ercises n gond deal more influence than fs good for {te reputation. ‘hore who crave more ovi- fence in support of these conclusions wilt be vbunilantly satisfied before we are through with ir.
