IHE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN WASHINGTON.
The nomination Of Judge Davis, by the
Labor Convention, although spoken of in
political circles, is not seriously discussed
Much interest, however, is expressed as to
what will be done by the Cincinnati Conven-
ton with regard to a Presidential candidate
A few prominent Democrats in Congress saw
they expect to vote for a Republican candi-
date other than the nominee of the Philadel.
phia convention, while not a few Democrats,
who have been interrogated on the subject, are
IN favor OF a regular Democratic nomination.
Others are non-committal, but saw they will do
the best they. can in view of all the circum-
stances. Politicians of all sides are exchanging
views az 10 the nrobabe effect of the course of
the disafected Republicans. Some gentlemen
are making calculations as to the influence Of
the recent debates in the Senate, and the
probable percentage of estrangement from the
Republican party. As an offset to this, prom.
inrnt Republicans point to such failures as the
Tyler faction in the endeaver TO create third
party, aud express themselves confident OF
success with General Grant as their candidate.
The political situation, to say the least IL con

Whereas Fruit culture has so extensively en-
gagged the attention of our farmers, and is likely
to become the leading agricultural interest OF

FROM present indications we are likely to
have plethora of Presidential candidates for
the coming National campaign. The National
Labor Reformers are the first in the field, At
their National Convention at Columbus, Ohio.
last week, they nominated Hon. David Il. .
Davis, an Illinois Republican, Tor is if he
hasn't turned } for the Presidency, and Joel
Parker, the present Democratic Governor of
New Jersey, for the Vice Presidency. These
nominations we're made after several ballots.
In which such names as Wendell Phillips.
Horace Greeley, and others drew strong sup
ported IN the balloting. These candidates
were nominated on a platform which favOrs
the payment of the National debt according 70
contract: and the taxation Of Government
bonds; opposes the sale of the public lands to
individuals or corporations and favors the
holding OF them for settlers; favors a tariff
only on luxury and manufactures for which we
possess abundance of raw material: urges
legislation to prevent the importation of
Chinese; favOrs the eight-hour system and
abolishment of contract labor in prisons; favors
war taxes during war times so as to leave no
debt for posterlty asks legislation to prevent
exorbitant railroad and telegraphic charges :
faVors the one.term principle; and general
amnesty and equal rights and privileges and
that personal fitness shall be the only recon-
mendation to Office.
Mr. Davis has accepted the nomination, and
1t Is intlmated that the Democrats may endorse
him. N'''''-'0
Next comes the sorehead, anti-G Grant indie
pendent Convention, which meets in Cincin-
matt on the 9Th of May. This move is in the
hands OF Carl Shurz aud its object is to nomi-
nate ticket it 1t has strength enough-doubt-
less to meet the fate of the Andy johnson
new party Convention of 1896.
Then comes the National Republican con-
vention, which meets in Philadelphia on the
ota OF June, to renominate President Grant
and buy out some Of the smaller factions.
Then will come the Democrats, who will call
Convention as soon as they can find out
whether 1t is any use to do so or not;-as soon
as they can determine whether to be massive
and vote tor Republican, as some of the
leaders recommend, or be Bourbon and "die
game, as others recommend. They are wait
ing Tor something to turn up that will give
them hiofe hopeful outlook than thew now
have. "" '"'J ho"
Then the Prohi1i'; w. rley have nomina-
ted National ticket. At their national con-
tlon' last week, at Columbus. Ohio, James
Black of Penn i1a.if. w.-t 30 ir,ted for Pres
ideDt of the United o,at.s, and John Russell
Michigan, Vice President.
And fnally, the woman sulfragists. 1t is
quite certain they will nominate a ticket
Mrs. Woodruff, Stanton, ClaHin, and Miss
Anthony have so declared all along, and it,
very probable that they will make the declara-
ton good. SO upou the whole we may have a
lively time, if too many cooks do not spoil the
broth. WV
