Railroad and Monopoly party IN that
State. The Democratic candidates for
the Legislature are nearly all anti
railroad men, and it is thought that in
the northern part OF the State theywill
generally be elected. In some OF the
strong Republican counties the anti
railroad ticket, composed equally o! Re-
publicans and Democrats, will sweep
the field. No doubt is entertained OF
San Francisco going against the rail-
road monopolists if the opposition there
can be united on one Legislative ticket.
The feeling in the State Is so strong as
to override all the customary arts OF
corruption by the railroad, and It is bee
lleved that either Senator Casserly or
Governor Booth will be elected United
States Senator, with the chances in IA
yer of the former. Both are strong in
their opposition TO the railroad dynas.
". The election comes off early in
September.
Political Affairs In EcNas.
Advices from Texas indicate the a.
most certain defeat OF Davis for the
Governorship. The associates Oh the
ticket are men Of local reputation, who
are unknown out OF their own Districts.
1t is stated that the Davis faction is uG-
able to conciliate the German vote, as
they had expected, and that the Ger
mans, who control some 1900 votes
in the State are likely to become the
balance of power that will defeat Davis.
Besides, the Fianrigan and Clark fac
ton will give the ticket very indittcr-
ent support.
ghe vacant Kansas SenRtors'iip.
\ very interesting question is likely
to arise regarding the disposition Of the
sl!ary OF the vacant Kansas Senator
ship. The Sen&te, by permitting Cald-
well to resign, acknowledged that he
was q Senator &c flc!o, and he drew his
regular salary as well as the back pay.
The vacant seat will be entitled to six
hundred and twenty-five dollars per
month of the forward paw until the va
caucy il filled. As the KunsGs Legs-
lsture does not elect Senator until
January, if a Senator pro tenn. Is APP
pointed for the month OF December he
would draw the entire pay. II, how
ever, the Governor should not fill the
vacancy. the question arises whether q
Senator elected in January will be en-
titled 10 the pay for the term for which
he was not elected.
ThcGrnnEcrs and National EfnEins
System.
The attention OF the COMPTROLLER OF
the Currency having been directed 10
the demand of the Wcstern Grangers
that the National Banks shall surrcn-
der their exclusive privilege ofthe right
to issue notes to circulate as money, he
has expressed the opinion that from his
information he IS of the opinion that
the majority OF the leading banks
would oppose such repeal. The reason
o. this opposition on their part would
not be so much from the fact that toe
right 10 issue notes is profitable mon-
opoIy as that the repeal Of the section
would authorize an over issue o! cur
reucy, thus depreciating the value OF
their own notes. The Comptroller does
not think that the special privilege o!
circulating notes in itself is considered
bv the banks specially profitable or ad-
ysntageous. He understands that they
value the privilege on account OF liz
relation to the general volume o! cur
rency.

obtain nominations for their own set
The new movement is gotten up with
out the consent Of the ring authorities;
and is source OF deep grief to the faith
ful. The Presidents. Organ depcuHce:
it with much bitterness but as thi:
city goverDment has been essentially G
black mans government for some wears
the new league cannot well make mat
Jcrs worse, save by forcing negroes into
the public schools of the whites, ant
