POLITICAL ITEMS.

Amidst the multitude of Convention nominations
which are now taking place in New York for the
approaching elections, we must single out for espe
cial remark and satisfaction the unanimous nomi-
nation for reelection to Congress of that able and
true Wing and eminently valuable Representative,
SOLOMON G. HAVEN The choice of the Convention
was not subjected to vote it was made by accla-
nation.
MAINE.-The vote for Governor Of Maine which is the
only matter Of interest now, the result with regard
the Legislature and members of Congress have become
liked facts, has become close be rather inter-
esting The Portland Advertiser has from eleven
additional plantations principally in the Aroostook
gion, which give for Reed 1884, Paris 372 Morrill, 3d. and
Cary 10 Mr.. Morrs majority in s65 Cities towns, and
plantations is $685. which is rather close fit If he fails
Of an election by the people he will doubt be chosen
by the Legislature.
MAssAcHUsETTs.-The Democrats in Boston held their
primary meetings Monday evening and elected dele
gates to their State Convention which to be held
Lowell on the 26th. Resolutions approving of the Ad-
minstration and its were adopted in majority
OF the Wards, while in Others according to the Times
Democratic paper) such harmonious spirit prevailed
that resolves approving the policy of the General Govern

of the Senate and House. which gives the Wings twenty
one Senator's the Freesoile SEVEN and the Democrats
two Of the two hundred and twenty five Representa-
ves known to have been chosen hundred and TWEEN
tysx are Wings, foryeight Freesolers and ffty-on
Democrats The Montpelier Patriot, Democratic paper
is growing over this result and cited by the Union
Of yesterday to show how much better the Democrats
have done in Vermont than at previous elections
We ought complain or tis, and trust that
Democratic friends win have abundant opportunity
the exercise of this temper This is the first instance
which we have noticed their congratulations the de-
feat OF their candidate 1t shows gratifying of good
feeling All parties satisfied The Democrats of this
State, be it remembered did not endorse the Nebraska
act. Their Convention silent upon that question.
New YoRK.-The Rome Sentinel, Zone of the organs Of
the Softs of New York; being unable or disncned
to interpret the Nebraska resolve of the Soft Convention
calls on the Democratic and Wing press to give it judi
cal construction The Albany Atlas unites in this ap-
peal To which the Argus Hardshel replies that if the
papers named will state how they read it. or how it ought
to be readbackwards forwards or sdewise-t pre-
pared to adopt their readings having in vain endea-
vored to make fish or frog of it,
New JERsEY.-The Democratic Convention of the first
district of New Jersey nominated Thursday THOMAS
W. MULFoRp Of Camden county, for Congress. a reso-
luton requiring the candidates to be pledged against

OHlo.-The Hon. DAVID 7. DISNEY, the present Demo-
cratic member of Congress for the first Congressional
district (being part of Hamilton county and city of Gin
cinnat) has not been nominated for reelection The
preliminary election resulted for George H. Pendleon
1886 and David 7. Disney 1896. There appears to
have been great rreguary in the Thirteenth Ward and
heavy if not fraudulent vote thrown Had the ward
been thrown out, Dsueys majority would have been 80
But the result affirmed by the County Convention
and GEORGE II. PENpLEToN nominated. For the second
district WILLIAM s. GRoEsBEcK put in nomination
Both the districts stand good chance of being carried
by the Wings at the October election.
IowA-The official canvass of the late votes for two
Representatives in Congress from Iowa is reported fol-
lows: First distrct-Clarke Whig IL ,042 Hall, Dem,
ll,2l9; second dstrict-Thorngton, Wing, II, 424;
Hampstead DEM, 9672 From this it appears that Au-
HALL (Dem.) is chosen in the first district by
majority Of 1T votes Some of the Western papers state
that this result is produced by the rejection of the
turns Of three counties If this be true Mr. CLARKE will
doubt contest the scat. 1t will be remembered that
the Wings lost member of the State Senate by like
decision of judges throwing the returns from three
counties. '@
