POLITICAL NOTES.


Blaine and Wilson escaped. Not only for the many oovi
GUS reasons but because on the hydra principle where
two Presidential candidates disappear. dozen rise 10
take tner places
The Hon. j. C. Madigan of ArOOstOOk. Me-,
looms up various shapes, political He has been hon
mated letter in the newspapers for President Ii taked
OF in his district for Congress, and as the Democratic
candidate for Governor 1t was In the third term organ
that hc nominated for President.
DR.. Butler of Minneapolis is not candidate
or the Republican nomination for Governor 1t seems ana
avors the nomination OF Mr. PlIsbury The latter gen.
teman The Minneapolis Tribune vouches for AZ broad
gauge Republican" 1t predicts his nomination by ac
clamation. and his election by majority exceeding
that ever gwen for any Governor III Minnesota"
The papers are still discussing the desirability
of taking Gov Fenton up Congress to I'LL the vacancy
in the Clautaiqua District. The Nec York Express sug
gests and approves the idea that the Democrats would
make u hit by nominating him. Gov. Fenton some time
ago assured THE TRIBUNE that under no circumstances
could he consent this FALL To take any summation Ior
Congress-
A declaration against q third term would
have been natural enough tho part Of The Washington
Chronicle after seeing its rival organ swollen with 81
pages Of Official advertising But on the contrary, while
the rival sheet scarcely dry from the press ii sings an
entirely unexpected and gratuitous pean to the
President 1t proclaims him a "devOid Of selfish
ambition" and says: Partisan malice may picture the
President ambitious man ever seeking to advance
his interest but impartial history VIII paint the
truthful portrait and will show to posterity man with
out political aspirations, true patriot, finding the
greatest enjoyment not in seeking promotion but III the
consciousness OF having performed DIS iun duty as
trusted servant Of the people"
To-day the PENNSYLVANIA State Temperance
Convention meets at Harrisburg to nominate Prohib
ton State ticket. The Republican press stigmatize 1t as
ice OF tho enemy to draw away Republican votes,
but The Phadihia inquirer hesitates to call it weak
one because the Republican party OF this State Is not as
compact an organization" II might be. 1t says:
The effort u the Harrisburg Convention cannot how
ever considered either fair WISE for the very
simple reason that its real object is entirely different
from lis ostcnsble that instead of meaning to aid
the temperance IL means 10 injure by attempts
10 place in powra party which first last. and all the
time oppose to temperance in anything and especially
the sale or Use OF intoxicating liquors"
Already there is some expression of opinion
against a repetition Of the Liberal tactics Of last year In
this State. The Saratoga Sentinel wants ticket nomi
mated at the convention and says We trust Indifferent
management will be had from last year and full ticket
be placed early in the field the candidates selected with
care for their ability and integrity that voters who
cannot consccntiosy support the nominees OF either Of
the other parties by voting for this third ticket,
effectively enter their protest against tho wrongdoings
OF the leading parties The tendency OF such third
ticket would be to render both the other parties more cir
cumspect In their conduct, ana INTRODUCES better element
n,o the Let vs. by all means have an early con
yenon and ticket made above and the organiza
ton can be maintained with honor anu credlt.'
The belief seems to be prevalent that upon
Senator Tnurman's conduct in the Ohio Democratic Con
venor largely depends his political future.
The Cincinnati Commercial says Senator Thurman did
not exert himself in the last Democratic Convention
against the sofmoney policy because in part he thought
his friends who had accepted the money deuson
would become weary Of their nonsense and he sorry
disturb and distress them they so Jealous and
furious urging their theories. 1t possible that the
Senator did then that the Confederate nanciors
meant great specuations at the public expense He
speedily taught what they meant and he has been abused
with great bitterness simply because he has not given His
aid TO schemes that dishonest The time has come
when. il the Senator Isl fighting man. he must show i.
II he IL power In his party and Is against the absrdi-
ties and dshonestes OF the infacnsts, is tho time
To make the tact KNOWN
Interest deepens in the probable action of
the Ohio Democratic Convention, which meets at Column
bus tomorrow, the financial question The initiation
lists are already setting up their bowls The Cincinnati
ENQUIRER. in doublcleaded leader declares that the
money power" il work to capture the Convention,
and protests follows against hard money platform
We say to the people no annually robbed OF
millions by the vicious Republican financial policy who
are suffering because of the contraction devised in the
interest OF bondholders who compelled to their
workshops idle, their mines vacant aud their industries
parayzed order that the holders Of bonds may ap
preciate their investments, that the Money Power Is
active and that il WILL II possible compel the Democratic
party OF Ohio TO sultfy itself The men who would do
this The enemies Of the party and the enemies Of Gov
Allen without platform such carried the State for
usast FALL Gov Allen cannot afford to accept renomina-
ton. To accept platform constructed by tho money
arsocracy would he to subject himself and his party
helng defeat. 1t is believed that Gen. Cary
will be nominated for LeutenantGOvernOr. Unless the
platform drawn in the interest Of the people, Cary
enter the His strength is In the sound
OF his doctrine and tho force and and
carcssness with which lie fights the battle OF the tong
masses" The Enquirer wants To adopted the inan-
cial plank OF 1874 on which IL tho party gained
majority of 900 This favored such an Increase OF
the circulating medium the interests Of the country
may from time to time require"
