POLITICAL NOTES.
Tonight, pre-

Gen. Butler has decided that he cannot
speak at the dedication OF thei soldiers monument at
F.tchburg June H. so the opening OF his campaign
for the Goyernorsnip will have 10 be made elsewhere
II 10 is made at al.
We gather from an article in The Commercial
Advertiser that. the whole its editor does think
well Of the action Of Congress the Centennial. 1t
says; Uness the gentlemen representatives, OF public
opinion in Congress are prepared 70 meet storm OF
ridcue and contempt from every civilized nation, they
will summarize this preposterous situation into
clusion possessing elements OF decent iberaity
The Centennial celebration is a charge the national
honor Congress cannot afford, nor can the American
people afford to permit to die an unnatural death by
straDguatOn at the hands OF miserable misery, and
near-sighted impulse Of stlnglness.'
Senator d. p. Wood writes TO The ABany
Argus in 10 the charge that the Supply bin had
been -tampered with. He says the Senate, when it
abolished the old Capitol Commission, voted unan-
mously that the salary OF the superintendent be
fixed at $4,000 When the supply bill not concurred
in by the Assembly 1t went TO the Conference Committee
where the principal discussion upon the expediency
Of abolishing the old Commission and appointing a
superintendent. When he 10 make his report, as
Chairman OF the Conference Committee Gen. Wood dis
covered that the salary had not heen decided upon He
cal eli Gen. Batcheler OF the Assembly Committee and
MN nv fbe senate He then sunpdd the omission and
the bill thus amended signed by the OF
Conference Committee and then passed by both houses
The announcement put forth by the Centen-
NAL Commission, saying in effect that the international
feature OF the celebration must be abandoned unless
Government aid granted. Goes not please The Phiia
delDhid Telegraph. Ii says the declaration confess
sion incapaclty the part Of the Commission,
thinks IL high time that tie gentlemen who
absurd declaration should clearly understand two
thngsfrst that the people Of Pennsylvania and Phla
delphia have determined 10 carry through the Centen
NAL International Exposition project; and second, that
Congress and the States having failed to support the
project In q spirit Of large and liberal patriotism
who expect pay for the entertainment ont Of
pockets have ardent desire TO 10 ourselves
To speak plainly plain subject, the general feeling
tins city ana State IL that the best thing the Centen
NAL Commission can possibly DO Is TO adjourn SUe DE
and 70 home"
One of the most favorable signs of the times
is the disposition shown 10y the people 10 vote for The
best men irrespective OF party lines There hardly
party organ in the country at least In sections
elections 20 be held, which is not warning Its
followers that unless good men put up for Office
there can be no hope OF victory. The Pittsburgh Gazette
uubitshed IN a county where two partisan rings
fighting for party spois is good illustration IL says
II is very important TO the Republican party that
good ticket be put the field because at Is not often
that marty lines unsettled than they are just
at the present and unless for all positions, candidates
