ing at the end OF the second term has

The Belefonte Penn.) Watchman, published
at the home of ex-Gov Andrew G. Curtin, says: 1--WE
are not specially authorized speak for him. but the
country may take word for it that Gov. Curtin is
not any longer acting with the Republican or Radical

1t appears that the Republicans of the IVth
Congressional District Of Massachusetts,, now
sented by the Hon. Samuel Hooper, are very much
troubled about nominating candidate. II they do not
nominate Prohibtonist there will probably be third
ticket in the ed and that the Democratic would
have little trouble IN carrying the district The Boston
Eers says that although the liquor question is an
should be fairly met aud candidly discussed, 1t is
no. question Of national politics or legislation, and
tiona politics. and haa bearing upon the position or
work OF a Congressman, The Neus neither prn-

In referring to the rumOrs about the compO-
ston OF the Republican State ticket, The Albany En-
prsss SAYS: "we do not know that Senator Fenton
would accept nomination upon the Republican ticket,
although we do know that than year ago he said
to the writer Of this article that he considered himself
lust as good Republican as ever. We do not know,
either that the Republican State Convention could In
any event be induced to recognize Mr. Fenton but We
are under the impression that II it could secure his
operaton and that of the Liberals who went away from
us In 1872 would add largely TO our prospectsof sue
cess IL would be better for TO elect Fenton than TO
be defeated with Dix The latter Is not popular while
the former II would be good policy. TO the
least for the Republican party to secure, Tor the APP
preaching contest, VI cenator
and his friends"
As it is an open secret that the Republicans

The Worcester Gazette advises the antiButler Republ
cans to Ike the first advances toward harmony In the
party 1t thinks Gen. Butler will not be q candidate
for Governor but adds: Nobody crush Mr. Butler
down permanently. Nobody can keep him out Of Mas
sachusetts politics as long as he remains in the
United states; and even In Vienna os st. Peters
burg he could only be prevented from interfering oy

exaggerated and, whie he Is never to be despsed as
