Col. Dayton said: “I know that Gen, Sherman has ever penned any such dispatch a8 tt was rumored he had done, saving that he would not serve as President of the United states, even though he was nominated. The position 1s ‘this: Gen. Sherman has attained the highest honors which can be be- stowed upon any man by the American people. He is aware of this, On the conirary, Jobo Sherman, while he has had great honors bestowed upon him, has seen honors beyond and above those which he has enjoyed. As long ag John Sherman was in the feld, or rather unul he had reached the fruition of ‘his ambition, his brother, the general, would not allow, even by Implication, his name to be pre- sented, used or whispered. Now it ts certain that John Sherman does not stand the slightest show of being even more than mentioned tn this con- nection. At this juncture the friends of General Sherman are in no Way antagonizing the interests of his brother, John Sherman, when they say, ‘if the American people see it to honor W. Tecumseh Sherman as a candidate for the nomination of President United States he will not decline the honor.’” “Now mind,” continued Col. Dayton, “Gen, Sherman is not seeking the nomination, but his friends have been assured that a number Of delegates will support him in case {tis known that he would not deciine.” ‘The Committee on Credentials, THE MAHONE DELEGATION TO BE ADMITTED.
