Political Notes.

1t Is conceded by politicians everywhere
that the action OF the late New York state
democratic convention in regard to the
gubernatorial nomination was a most seri =
Gus blunder, and one which will have q
damaging effect Oh that party, both In its
state and national canvass. -...Late adyIces
from Nor.h Carolina represent the prospect
for the republicans carrying that state a.
most hatteriDg. Judge Settle, the nominee
or that party for governor, who has just
completed canvass OF the western counties,
claims that be win carry the state by 1900;
aud Raleigh CORES pondent OF the Btltt-

gTessional delegation. '''' Mr.. Evarts did

because his name was announced without
his authority or consent. He will, however
probably speak before the campaign closes
49, Ivory Chamberlain says Mr.. Marble
didn't write or suggest those World articles
IN '6S suggesting the removal OF Frank Blair
from the ticket. He wrote them himself
the first one at late hour Of night, and
on his own responsibility. VINO is going to
write the articles this year advising the

go. The New York Herald OF yesterday at
tributes the trick, which proclaimed Mr..
vention at the time when he hal positiveis
declined, to Gov. Tilden's agency, and says
that it has placed the democratic party Sin
position from which 1t cannot be easily
extrfcated." ''.' The venerable William
Cullen Bryant, editor Of the New York Ere
ming Post, will not vote for Tilden, as has
been stated: He says that while in his judg
ment Mr.. Tildea is much the superior OF the
republican candidate, as regards Intellectual
force, executive ability and valuable politi-
cal experience, the democratic party is run
ming so much in its old tracks that Ii caunot
be trusted. He would like to vote for Mr.
Tilden, but the policy Of the party which has
taken him for their standard bearer Is such
that he cannot conscientiously do so. A.
things stand at present. therefore, Mr.. Bry-
ant will support the republican candidates
