POLITICAL NOTES.

George T. Brown, ex-Sergeant ALARMS of
the United States Senate spoken of as candidate Cor
Mayor OF Alton ILL.,
Returns received at Rockland Me-, yester-
day, make IL certain that Moses Webster, the Repnh
ean candidate for Senator, has been reelected while
the Democrats have elected tho remainder OF the
county ticket.
The Farmers Movement has completely de-
morazed both Of the old parties in Illinois, but the
Democrats seem to have been the most shattered AT
the election OF last year there As counties which
gave Democratic rnaorites 10 only ~ Of these have
the Democrats made nominations this year. In i6 they
have formally dlsbanded their organization; IN eight
they have called conventions which are expected 10 90
nothing except dband aud ia the remaining nine cOun
ties the situation Is uncertain.
The Temperance party in Wisconsin is
elated by recent decision by the Supreme Court OF
that State. brought up to test the legality
OF the new law which Is similar to the Ohio law, reg
ing lquor-deaers TO give bonds TO pay all damages
arising from the sale OF intoxicating drinks The court
decided that the State is empowered 20 prohibit liquor
selling or to permit it. according to its pleasure and
IL permits H. II may qualify the permission III such
manner as the Legislature may deem proper. The law
was. therefore, pronounced constitutional.
The Chairman of the State Reform Commit
tee OF Wisconsin has issued call for State Convention
To meet at Milwaukee on Sept. %. The address CON
cudes follows: "Fellow-citzens: Let arise and
turn the moneychangers out of the temples of legisa-
ton Let us naugurate an era Of real and not merely
pretended reform. Let bury the past and build for
the future. Let adopt platform Of solid principles,
OF living and dead Let ignore the old party
wirepullers and nominate new ticket OF honest ana
able men, If the citizens OF Wisconsin really want re-
FORM now is their opportunity They can choose their
legates TO peoples convention, and control III
without reference to the aims of any individual"
There is another Boston organ rebelling
against the interference of the National Administration
in the political affairs OF Massachusetts,. The Transcript
follows the lead Of The Advertiser and thus speaks rs
mind: 1t should be understood at Washington in the
Departments and by Congress- that Custonhouses and
revenue officers and NavyYards do not exist for the
benefit OF placemen or their masters. Strong in advO
eating and supporting unity and nationality ready
to sustain the National Government within Its sphere
and the OF special functions the free and
true Republicans OF this Commonwealth will, on the
other hand, make themselves heard as they show the
determination, at all hazards, to suffer c0rruptng
outside powers the control of their local affairs
