POLITICAL NOTES.

It begins to look as if Gov. Allen had
risen mp" for the last time.
A very noticeable feature of the political
campaigns which opened this year Is the absence Of
attempts win by raking over the ashes of dead and
buried issues The arguments put forward all based
upon live practical questions and in nearly every State
both parties are exertng themselves the
nation good IL Is excellent sign, and proves
that the Independent Voter has not been born i'll vain
The Connecticut Democrats are not very
proud of the course which their brethren have taken in
Ohio. They have idea OF being held responsible for
such dangerous and mpolto doctrines as that Of rag
money Thus The Hartford Times says: g. All the history
and preceps the Democracy sustain sound currency
whatever they do do uphold and require. The
Ohio Democrats have put into their platform weak and
rotten plank against all the votes and uterance Of
Gov. Allen himself on the currency question. Their
course this respect whether they win or lose In Octo
ber going to be followed by the National COnven-
ton. There never time when the Democrats could
afford repudiae their own principles Least Of all has
such q time arrived now"
The inhationists of Ohio are watching for
Gov Hendricks to appear before them the stump but
as yet he has made 10 sign Meantime tho last part OF
this paragraph from The Fort Wayne Sentinel indicates
that he not love with the deuson of soft money:
"FrOm all Indications Gov. Hendricks is at least the
tavorte choice for President by tho Democratic party
Every newspaper Of whatever political faith places Mr.
Hendricks at the head Of the list when casting hOro
scope of the campaign Mr.. Hendricks is represent
stve Western he IL universally popular because
his public record is without stain, and his sensible
Jews on the currency-fOr he il hardmOncy man-wlll
element of strength to the ticket Gov Hendricks
has sat very quietly the financial fence for long
time. but the edge is growing very sharp now
Politics are said to be very dull in Massachu-
setts this year The Springfield Republican thus explains
the indifference OF the voters 1t is morally that
MI CASTOR will be renomnated- The odds that Mr.
Alexander II. Rice Will bC put up against him. What
earthly reason there why any rational man Of adult
aye should asdate himself this hot weather, such
choice as that's Both the men gentlemen. both are
exMayOrs Boston, both nelligently conservative
by temperament and habit both have proper sense Of
the dgnty Of the bernatoral Office and Is more likely
than not that both will be found voting for the
Presidential candidate next year. II there Is any issue
In National or state politics uu which these two gentle
known to take opposite Sides We shall be gGd TO
have II pointed out"
The Republican press of this State Processes
TO believe that its party has gained a great deal Of
the state for its candidates Thus The Troy Times says
"The imbeciity the Democratic Assembly last Win
ter aud tho action Of Gov 1lden since the adjournment
of the Legislature have Disguised hundreds and thou
sands OF who Fall helped To swell the Demo
cratic majority such unprecedented proportions The
cry then that with change % Administration better
times would come, and large numbers who ought to have
known better dcluded ny lis sPecOus and atcrng
promises and reluctantly voted against Dix in favor
OF Tiden. They have low discovered their mistake.
The times better in fact they and it Ia
evident that Iiden cannot and will not do anything to
bring back the return Of PROSPERITY. In this pcct
the men whose cry ything for a change.
likely 10 be deceived again.
