Political N otes.

The Manchester On. Il. Mirror says it
knows that not moro than three-tenths of
the delegation from that state can be safely
set down as "reliable for Blaine
Bristow IS the youngest of the prominent
presidential candidates. He will be forty
four in July. Bayard is fory-seven, and
Blaine and Conkling each forty-six.
An Ohio correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: According to the most
Trustworthy information, the Ohio delega-
ton will stand after the vote for Hayes:
Bristow, 90; Blaine, 1S; Morton, G."
The New York Tribune is conspicuously
devoting itself to Mr.. Blaine and to Cover
nor Tilden. Suppose it succeeds in having
them both nominated, enc at Cincinnati
and the other al St. Louis, which does it
propose to urge the people to vote for p
Springfield Republican,
We do not agree with those who pro.
claim that Mr.. Bristow is the only republi-
can who can save the party, but we are
willing and glad to express our faith in his
fidelity, and our appreciation OF his signal
-ervices to the party and the county
Boston Adrertiser.
AS between Bristow and Blaine, while
figures give the latter the apparent advance
now, the former must gain from the con-
trolling consideration Of policy, when CON-
promises come to be effected. Bristow's
chances Of election, il dominated, are far
greater than Blaine's, and the convention
can hardly fail to see it.-Norioich, Conn,
Bulletin.
AS rule, the Bristow republicans are
cheerful, hopeful and active. Here and
there one, however, contemplating the in
llated column of Blaine figures, gives way
to dependency. There is not the least
occasion. Bristow's chance has never
been so good as it is to-day, and it will be
better after ballot or two has been taken
at Cincinnati than it is now.-Sprinafeld
Republican.
1t is clear to dispassionate persons that
no party just now can afford to carry
through the canvass such load of suspi-
cion as the candidacy Of Mr.. Blaine would
bring with it. 1t must be clear to Mr..
Blaine himself, and if he is wise man he
will make the best of his misfortune by
Withdrawing his name instead of waiting
for it to be dropped. York Euening
Post.
Col Ingersoll, who leads the Illinois
delegation to Cincinnati, ia supposed to be
for Bristow or Hayes as second choice.
1T may be safely said," writes the New
York sIri6unes correspondent, 'that, in
case otthe Contingency mentioned (Blaine'a
dropping ou), the vote of Illinois would be
divided between Bristow and Hayes, but,
| when lis concentration upon either would
secure his nomination, 1t would be instant

But it needs very little political sagaciiy
to find signs enough already of tho popular
demand for candidate whose character
and whose record will furnish ample guar
antee for his fidelity to higher standard
of public life than that which has prevailed
of late the Cincinnati convention can.

Whatever may be the case In other part
