POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. John I. Davenport can afford to pay MIR.
Caulneld's Committee liberal sum for advertising
They have given him national reputation.
The Republican organs of this State are
unanimously convinced that the Utica Convention was
defeat for Gov Tlden strange to say Their Canal King
Slhes do not agree with theln
Secretary BrstOw is said to be gaming
strepgth In Mchigau or the 20 delegates at the
Iennwee County Convention last week. As for
Bristow IA for Blaine. and IA scattering.
Nobody seems to suspect that there are Conk-
ling Democrats in tho Tdcn delegation to st. Louis, TO
balance the Tden Republicans whom Mr. Curtis says
there arc in the woudbe Conklng delegation TO Gin
cmnati.
The admission is beginning to be limited
more generally in the Republican papers OF the State
that Mr.. Conkng. il nominated, could not carry
New-York The JohnStorn Journal says quito posi-
lively and while praising COnklng places Gov Morgan
far ahead Of him in point OF availability, and suggests
also ~ much better candidates Mr. Brlstow ana william
A. Wheeler.
Mr. William Mckee, late of the Adminlstra-
ton organ in Louis and Of the Penitenary mas
entered upon his years sojourn in the country with
harsh feelings toward several old friends. He remarked
with much pahos Wednesday: You know what
have done for party and the men have made with
my paper Not one ot them mas helped me IN my nour OF
trouble. won't grind them when get OUT"
Collector Simmons of Boston rises to say
that he did promise to deliver the State OF Massachu
sets TO Blaine AT the recent Convention IA the Brisow
organs charged but at the time he hints urively
that there is still plenty Of time to undertake such job
by remarkng casually To assume that the -four gentle
men elected Wednesday alone represent the State
delegation, seems 10 mo rather poor compliment To the
80 delegates yet To be chosen"
The rapid rise in Tiden stock has had
an alarming effect the n1atonists Their organs do
not hesitate to charge tho entire South with selling out
to North thus insulting the very portion Of the party
from which they expect the most support They are too
wild that they in this way powerfully helping
Gov Tildcn Then they help him In another way by
threatening to David Davis third party can
ddate in Tllden is nominated 1t St. Lonis Judge
Davis hasn't much strength any way but he Will have
still less If he Is taken up by the lnilatonlsts.
The less sensible BristOw men are exaggcrat-
ing victory in Massachusetts, but it is unquestion-
able that 1t was q severe setback TO Mr. Blaine
in some respects the seyerest no has yet
encountered shrewd Brlstow man, q member OF the
late Massachusetts Convention, sends THE TRIBUNE his
inside view OF the results. He holds that the vote
for Bullock and Chadbourno shows the pure
strength OF Bristow 40i to 407 while Learned and
Cogswell show the Blaine strength, 500 to 376 Half
the Convention would have been 4Sl, that Bullock, in
spite OF his signature ON the 18th OF May confer
ence, within so votes or half IT, Is
FreeIaan Clarke tho APOSTLE of bongs got votes.
The Brstow believe that all four OF the Delegates
class Mr. Forbes Blame man. He was only taken up
by the Blaine men after their demoralnatioh ~ Gov.
Kices ecnaton, and taken from the list OF Brstow
altornates.
There seems to be just one Republican news
paper In this state which has the to that Gov
Tilden Is too strong to be upset by the continual
repetition OF charges which either never had any oun
daton or exploded long ago The Bugaio Express
gives contemporaries who INDUCING in such twad
die as tho calling of tho Utica Convention "Pyrrhic
victory" this wholesome advice "we Republicans have
got to recognize the facts and cannot afford to under
estimate Mr.. Tildens strength single jot. Tho man
who beat Gov Dix after successful administration, by
10000 majority, is not one who can be safely
whstled down the wind as mere sham and
o charlatan. In Short the Cincinnati Conven
ton must act with almost certain convic
ton that the Democrats will put up their strongest
man. who Is unQuesonabiy Gov. Tilden. 1t Is in tho
leader who will oyermatch Mr.. Tdan In every respect
They must give tho Democrats Roland for their oliver
whose character ard record will stamp him b0forl
