ABOUT POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

John Morrissey lost $4,000 in bet.
ting on the Speakershlp. That is Johns
mode of argument; and this time his
greenback logic failed him.
The Republican National Committee
will meet at Washington on January l3
to decide upon the time and place for
holding the National Republican Conven.
ton to nominate candidates for Presi.
dent and Vice President.
! The Texas Democrats will hold a
State Convention on the 9th of January,
at Galveston, to nominate candidates for
the State offices provided for by the new
Constitution. Gov. Richard Coke Is
talked about for reelection.
1t is said that Senator Morton has pre-
pared and intends to introduce series
of resolutions calculated to raise the
question, in positive and unequiyocal
form, whether the authority OF the Gen.
eral Government or that of the State
Governments is paramount. The ghost
OF States Rights will once more visit the
glimpses Of the moon.
The Rochester Democrat reaches out
for +. Wood in this manner: Fernando
Wood says he retired from the Speaker
ship contest because it had degenerated
to a disgraceful political squabble.
Pshaw! Does this man expect to be a
Democratic leader and wear kid gloves,

I The election Of Mr.. Kerr to the
| Speakership OF the House has had very
damaging effect upon Gov. Hendricks
lchances for nomination TO the Presi.
ldency, because OF both being Indianians.
In fact, some Of the Democratic papers
Of Indiana are dropping Hendricks
name entirely. and putting Kerr's name
up for Vice President on ticket with
Tilden for President, next year. That
lmay be counted among the possibilities.
Democratic politicians are quite
Ieagerly figuring Mr.. Speaker Kerr into
the Presidency by presuming two things
--one. the ineliglbility OF The President
/ of the senate pro tem., and the other the
death Of Gen. Grant. Surely, II the
President Of the Senate can't come in in
case Of vacancy, they ought not to stand
on so triflng matter as the death OF
IGrant. The only matter in the way 10
lGranps invincibie obstinacy about'the
matter Of dying. But then that might be
Iovercome by "Booth's persuader." The
democrats say that there is avacancy in

their claim upsn this passage in Jeffer.
lson's Manual OF the Constitution:

THE Democrats in Congress have had
private caucus, and after some discus
sion resolved upon raising a committee
to devise and present policy and plan
of operations for the coming Presiden-
tjal campaign. They are going to work
in manner that means business; and
unless they exhibit some remarkable
talent for blundering, they will give the
Republicans something to do next year,

common Just now to all trade centers in the
United States, and even in Europe-a super
abundance of capital, more than sufficient
for the wants of trade in the few channels to
