Prom the fact that Tom Ocnlltree, who
in manipulating the Texas Convent uu-
der letter of credit from Don Cameron, Is

The explanation Of the Madisonian oil
the difference between ttosedle-dee and
tw.edle dun on railroad aid Is, by the thinu'
osity of its substitute, unanswerable. An
exempted railroad TO the West Side is a
beatifc curse ergo, subsidized railroad
I'D Ruby valley Is an unmitigated blessing
-Rchmond politicians assert the belief
that Gen'l Malone and George G. Gorham
have put up a combination to secure the

separate electoral ticket in Virginia the
prospects for the Regulars are not fatie :

Committee on Judiciary have unanimously
agreed to report favorably on the bill TAX

In the time spe ,ifed. As this purpose is
also evidenced by the House and Senate
Railroad Committees, 1t begins to look
threatening for the Northern and other Pa

ALI the Democratic boone are out OF
sight, and the barrel holds the field alone.
Bayard Is abandoned by everybody except
The World newspaper and the South. Han
cock, for some reason or other, has no ad-
vocates anywhere, except . few in the
South. Seymour Is hidden completely be-
hind his brass and-irons. Randolph had q
shadow OF chance. and be wiped 1t out

ant. Even Tammany contents itself with
muttering about the wisdom Of nominal
ing Tilden, and carefully abstains from all
