POLITICAL NOTES.

Some of the Rhode Island people are talking
about President Robinson, of Brown L University,
to take Senator sprague's place.
The Nevada Legislature will stand: Senate
Republicans, IS; Democrats, Z. Assembly
Democrats, II; Republicans, 81; Independ-
ents, 3.
In a Missouri town thirty-eight negroes
voted the Democratic ticket. A local paper
asks: ''Do the Democrats want their sisters to
marry these thirty-eight negroes?'
The next canvass for Governor in Ohio is
thus quietly settled in advance by the Cincin-
natl ERglirer:.."Of course Gov. Allen will be
renominated and reelected in 1915"
The West Virginia Senatorship, vice Bore
man, is in doubt between johnson n. Camden,
of Parkersburg, and Henry S. Walker, of
Charleston. The State capital question is
mixed up in the Senatorship fight.
The last election returns show that 40 900
Illinois Republicans stayed at home who voted
in 1872, to % 900 Democrats. 1t may be truly
said that the Republicans carried the last cleo
tions, only they carried them in left-handed
sort Of way.
General Butler said, the other day, there
were two supremacy happy women in Essex
county-Mrs. Butler, who rejOiced that her
husband was to be kept out of Washington;
and Mrs. Thompson, who was delighted that
her husband was going to Washington!
The Hon. Edwin II. Ewing, a prominent
candidate for the Tennessee Senatorship, has
been making speech in which he intimated
that as soon as the Democrats obtained power
they were to commence re-openingthe past for
the purpose of repeating every obnoxious or
unconstitutional law inspired by Radical ma
lightly"
The Harrisburg Patriot, the central organ of
the Democracy in Pennsylvania, says: 'Some
people whisper Democracy after the election.
They are otice-hunters and office pedlers, who
sat on the fence while the battle was raging"
Considering the help given the Democracy by
the "Reformers" and Liberals is not this a
little harsh!
Judge Poland tells a Western interviewer
that nothing will be done by the Democratic
majority of the next House. Says he: ''They
will fight over everything in Gods world.
They are not united on single point, except
opposition to the Republicans. They are di-
vided on the currency question, the negro
question, the tariff question, and every ques-
ton Of importance. When there is no radi-
calism for them to oppose they will fall to
fighting among themselves"
The proposition to make Fernando Wood
the Democratic candidate fer Speaker of the
next House of Representatives is thus pro-
tested against by the Buffalo Courier: "a Already
on the single ground that the Hon. Fer
nando Wood chose to enrol himself in the list
of salary grabbers, Democratic journals
throughout the State have loudly called on
him to take back seat. The Courier, while
recognizing Mr.. Woods great ability and val
liable services on many occasions on the side
Of the people, unhesitatingly adds its voice to
this call. Placing it on no higher ground than
that of party policy, the elevation of Mr.. Wood
at this time is a thing not to be thought Of
The Democratic party cannot afford to make
any such misstep. Salary -grabbers and all
others whose political names and fame are not
absolutely unassailable must be content now
TO 20 to the rear"
