Political Notes,

MIR. Cyrus W. Fields opposition to Mr..
Tilden is suspected of growing out of the fact
that his brother Chief Justice Field has been
named as possible Democratic candidate for
the Presidential nomination.
The Democrats in Ohio are very much
encouraged by the increasing strength of their
candidate for Governor, General Ewing. The
Republicans there are losing heart Even
General Garfield admits that Ohio is an I'M
certain State and the Democrats may carry
it this fall. Governor Bishop thinks the
Democratic majority will not fall short of
10000
Tho opinion preva lis among wcll-inform-
cd Democrats that Mr.. Tildcn is to be the
next Democratic nominee for the Presidency
While he does not appear to be popular the
bcllcf exists that he can carry-Ncw York
which with the South II unit for him, makes
his election certain. Many who have no spc-
clal regard for him personally think it would
he far better 10 have Mr. Tiltlcn in the White
House tlan to have Republican there.
- MY dllloTlllH cVcJIbn, IN regard to which
considerable interest was felt, took place ON
the Ri inst There were five tickets in the
frd namely, Democratic Republican, New
Constitution, Workingmnc's and Prohibition.
The probabilities at this time are that the
Republican ticket has been generally success
ful in the State, and that Kalloch, Dennis
kearneys candidate for mayor of San Fran
cisco, is elected. The result is no Indication
of how California will go at the Presidential
election.
The Republican convention of New York
on Wcdnc sday nominated Mr. A. B. Cornell
for Governor. Mr.. Cornell was naval officer
at the Port of New York and was removed
by Sherman, against the circumstances of
Senator Conking. His nomination NAV be
regarded as an endorsement OF Conkling and
slap in the face Mr. Hayes administration.
The party will scarcely he able to unite upon
him with any success. A Republican defeat
now will mean the loss of the State by the
Republicans Mt the Presidential election next
year

CATTLE SALES DAY-Thc disagreement be-
tween dealers in live stock at the cattle scales
has resulted in the establishment for the present
OF two sales days-Monday and Thursday. 1t is
expected, however that matters will be arranged
soon SO as to unite upon one day. and it is like
ly that Monday, as heretofore will be adoptcd.
The butchers, us rule seem to prefer Monday.
but the country dealers, those purchasing stock
cattle, prefer Thursday. The butchers who
favor Monday say that ifthcy purchase on Thurs
day they do not have time to kill and have tbc
meat properly cooled in their ice.houses for Sat-
urday's market, and that if it is put upon the
market too soon after killing the meat is "aery.n
Country buyers assert that if the sales day is ON
Monday they are obliged TO be away from their
families on Sunday in order to reach the scales
IN time to purchase stock. 1t is urged by those
who favor Thursday as sales day that the greater
part of the stock sold at the scales on Monday
changes hands on Sunday-that is the cattle
arrive ON Saturday night or Sunday morning,
and sales are effected, though the weighing and
actual delivery does not take place until Mon
day. II is also asserted that some of the stock
is shipped away on Sunday. On the other hand
1t is urged that as the scales Gre not omen on
Sunday sales cannot be effected on that dav.
though dealers may look at and pick out their
stock on that day.
The question was settled on Monday bv the
dealers coming into market with their cattle
Monday will suit the city butchers but il yerv
inconvenient to country purchasers, who must
either attend and make their selections on SIM
day or find their market picked when they visit
it on Monday.
