In its doublé column leading editorial of last week the New York Independent says : " We most gincerely congratúlate the republicans of the State of Ohio. They have done nobly in deciding unanimously to present the name of Senator John Sherman to the National Convention as their choice for our next President. We congratúlate the Republicans of the whole country in view of this action, because of the great influence it is sure to have in all quarters. There is no man in the United States who is better qualified to fill that office than Senator John Sherman. He probably knows more about the wants of the nation, at thie critical time, than any other man whose name will be proposed as the presidential candidate of the party. His knowledge of niatters relating to finance, the tariff, mternal revenue, and all other interests connected with our business affairs is, undoubtedly, far superior to that of any other man. His long training in the House of JLepresentatives and in the Senate, his valuable help and experience as Secretary of the Treasury and in giving shape to our financial interest?, his practical knowledge of all parliamentary affaire, obtained while acting as our VicePre3ident- all these things, we affirm, place Senator Sherman in the front rank among the ablest men of the nation and of the age. His integrity cannot be and never bas been questioned. He is the kind of man nov wanted at the head of this government. He is a safe man, and the people know this to be 60, and would trust him in any emergeney. He is a practical business man with no nonsecse about him, a clear-headed politician of a sort that could not easily be fooled. He has steadily grown in public estimation and confidence, and in our opinión has no superior in the country for the high office named. If John Sherman can be nominated by the Republican party coupled with such a name on the ticket as that of Senator seph R. Hawley for Vice-President, the entire party could and would rally to its support. Business men would all unite in the election of such a ticket. There would be no mugwumps in the oamp or in the catnpaign. We stand ready to work with a will for the election of such men as we have named. There would be again 'peaoe and union ' in the party such as has not existed for years, and all good men would be enthusiaetic, as of old, in its support."
