There are now two strong Presiden tial movements under full headway in side the Radical political organization. One is in the inlerest of U. S. Grant, and the other of John Sherman. They possess many points of similarity. On one point, however, they widely differ. The originotors arid chief supporters of the Sherman movement are Repub licans who think the nomination ot Grant in 1880 would seriously imperil the existence of their party, and hy some strange metamorphosis im agine that John Sherman is the man with whom to oppose him. The Grant managers for the eventual nomination of their candidate depend upon the vote of the Southern States in convention and the influences of the Money Power. The leaders of both movements confidently claim the sup port of the Money Power; Grant's man agers on the. ground that the ex-Presi-dent has always had it heretofore, and Sherman's on account of. his alleged eminent services in bringing about re enmption. Tais phase of the subject is destined to provoke the main contest. The Money Power is the ruling influ ence in the Radical party. It defeated Blaine at Cincinnati three years ago. It renominated Grant in 1872. It will name the Radical candidate in 188 J in spite of all outside machination?. The Indian Outbreak. By Tel gragh. Washington, D.
