POLITICAL NOTES.

The lnnattonists hope to induce Peter cooper
to preside at their National Convention at Indianapolis,
next month.
There are now &c candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor OF Georgia and more
coming There seven judges, six generals, three
colonies, aud no end Of Lesser digntles.
1t seems to be a good time for somebody to
father any further charges there may DO against Mr.
Blaine, good time for politicians who caucusng
for some other candidate to stop nsinuaug charges
which they dare to father and are not prepared
TO prove.
The Georgia Democrats have skillfully
lodged the Presidential aspirant in search OF deega
ton pledged in his favor Instead Of holding state
convention they will meet to-day In the Congressional
Districts elect delegates 10 St. Louis As there are
10 nine different conventions at the same hour In the
day. tho Presidential asprant aforesaid cannot concen-
tae himself upon them ALL he lets tho whole lot take
care 4 themselves The prospect OF united delegation
ia rot therefore, especially good. II is sumsed that
Hendricks will have majority OF the delegates ana that
Thurman will take the rest
The Washington correspondent Of The BOs-
ton Journal sends this information Mr.. Blaine says
that his statement full and exhaustive answer to the
charges recently published against him. He in converse
ton In his opinion the attacks made upon him
have benefited rather than injured him. He seems TO be
in the very best OF spirits he has no idea OF with
drawing from the Presidential race. but on the other
hand is almost confident OF receiving the nomination

candidate Indicates that in the OF his fa

the matter that ought 10 be explained shall be there
to tell fully what know about IT, and To press for ful
explanations and do not mean To DO whstled down by
Mr. Blaine or anybody else.'
Mr. Ilalstead is anxious to have 1t under
stood that he did sign the call for the independent
conference In this city next month In correcting a
statement that he did sign he says: "Mr. Halsead not
only did sign the CALL but opposed the Issue of invita-
tions TO May meeting holding that the popular protest
against Unworthy nominations by those not enlisted In
either political organization could not BIO strengthened
and might be weakened by ceremonious meeting AS
to leadership In the Republican party not aware
that any OF the editors have sought IT, They were
hostile four years to the degradation of another term
OF Grant and told the truth OF him and his surroundings
then The second term that happened In spite 0f them
has, however, been OF value as an awful example,"
There seems to be some opposition to the
favorte business In Connecticut Thus The Netc-
Haren Journal and Courier feels called upon TO make
this remark: The majority OF the Connecticut Repub
lcan delegates to tho Cincinnati Convention may per-
haps agree In considering Gov Jewell as their first
choice for President, but they had better think
three times before making their minds to vote for him
the first ballot at all hazards The vote OF
might happen to be all that wanting TO give the
nomination to Brstow, and II that vote lacking
der such circumstances and IL 1t should happen con-
sequence that Brsow should thereafter ground aud
fail of the nomination. 1t would DO an ntolerable shame.
For our delegates might well understand once for oil
