POLITICAL NOTES.

cal conventions all along the Western
line on Wednesday was in the Blaine
interest, and that the general drift of
sentiment ON the currency question
was toward compromise measures.
The Springfield en- correspondent
Of the New York Tribune Telegraph
ed on Wednesday night 1.-The feel
ing has been against Mr.. Bristow so
strongly as to amount almost to rude
ness. The delegation is entirely
wanting in the German element, but
is highly respectable and represent
tative."
The Cincinnati Enquirer says ut
is unquestionably true that the work
of Wednesday was a great triumph
for Blaine. 1t indicates at least, that
the Maine statesman has been active,
has been organizing. and that his
friends are surprisingly numerous in
,he West"
The Cincinnati Commercial, struck
by the tidal wave of Wednesday,
let's go Its holden Bristow with the re-
mark "Mr. Blaine's success places
him foremost in the Cincinnati Con-
yention on the first ballot. He will
be very useful in destroying the vain
ambition of Conkling."
The Des Moines Register says that
the preference of the Iowa Demo-
cratic State Convention was in
this order: Hendricks, Tilden, Bris-
tow, Thurman, Davis, Palmer,
Bayard, Allen, and that there was
quite a feeling in favor of taking up
Brlstow at st. Louis in case he is de-
feated at Cincinnati.
The indianapolis Journal, with the
report of Wednesdays convention at
hand, declares "Mr. James G. Blaine
did quite well yesterday. There can
be little question that the real strug-
gle.at Cincinnati will be between Nor
ton and Blaine. That fact is as plain
as that the convention will meet"
General Boynton declares that at
Is not by any means certain that the
President entered into this political
intrigue in favor of Conkling. 1t
was probably presented to him as a
at time to recognize Pennsylvania by
awarding her a seat in the Cabinetf
with him it may have nc other signi-
ficance.
The Cincinnati Times means Hayes
when 1t says wednesdays conven-
tions place Mr.. Blaine decidedly in
the lead. AT the outset Blaine, Nor
ton, and Conkling will together have
a large majority of the Cincinnati
Convention, but to unite this strength
on any n of them may not be found
perfectly easy"
A number of leading Democratic
politicians from different parts of
New York met at Albany, May "a.
The New York Herald says the pre-
yailing sentiment was opposed to the
presence Of any New York candidate
In the National Convention, and in
favor of the support of q NOMINEES
who will be likely to unite the DEM
ocracy of the State.
In an article on the Illinois Con-
vention the st. Louis Times says
The result proves two things-that
Bristow will have no chance in the
Cincinnati Convention, which will be
run by the machine organization of
the party, and that the influence of
the Chicago Tribune, under its pres
ent management, is next to nothing
in the Republican party. The Inter-
Ocean has triumphed over the Tri-
bune. in
In an article ON the man for Presi-
dent the Philadelphia North Ameri-
a says: 1.-The people want q man
who IAN lead and is not afraid to lead.
While we do not say that Mr.. Blaine
Is the only man in the republic who
nils this measure, VIC certainly do
think that he alone of all men named
lives nearest the people. And 1t is
this fact which makes him stronger
to-day than any Of his competitors of
either party. His success is popular
success, and his preferment would be
regarded by the masses as their
triumph"
