RELIEF or THE SICK POOR.
In note TO the District Commissioners
Health Officer Townshend states that as there
has been q reduction In the appropriation FOR
relief or the poor during the fiscal year endisg
June 80. 1881. and as there was not sufficient
amount In the hands or the auditor 10 pay bills
for food furnished the poor during June 1885,
Le therefore recommends that sufficient
amount be set apart 10 provide for medicines
AID medical attendance during the ensuing
year. He says. he thinks. this service stands
pre- eminent In the list OF charities, and that
care should he taken that it, at least be not in
terrupted for want OF funds The cost OF con-
Quoting this service last year, including the
furnishing OF food 10 the sick poor was s. o6.
lie thinks the sum OF $1,000 should be set apart
for this service alone, and so recommends and
that the furnishing OF food, except In extreme
cases. be for the present dispensed with.

Political NOteS.

Judge Black hasn't anywhere been charged.
so far as we have observed, with writing Mr.
Englishs letter OF acceptance.
EX-Secretary Cameron has pronounced false
the foolish story published some time ago to the
effect that he had said his son Don handed S.. 900
10 President Hayes to reimburse him for catn-
pa1gn expenses in 1876. The denial was hardly
necessary. Whether young Mr.. Cameron is a
man who promiScuously hands around such
sum or not, all the world Knows President
hayes isn't the man who would accept it
General Garfield is In luck 10 one respect. He
hssnt got a son big enough 10 write political
letters protesting to foreshadow lis fathers
views and policy. That is what has been the
trouble with several presidential aspirants.
General Hancock, we observe, hasn't quite es-
capped tie plague.
The following Congressional nominations
were made on Saturday: W. X. Boone by the
republicans Of the 5th Ohio district; ID. w. Con-
nelly by the greenbackers OF the 18th Pennsyl-
vaDla district; John A. Mcmahon Sitting men,
beD by the democrats OF the 4th Ohio district.
After the nomination Mr.. Mcmahon visited the
hall where the convention was in session and
positively declined, whereupon it again nomt.
mated him and adjourned. Whether Mr. Nc
Mahon Will now run or whether another con-
Ventl0n VIII have TO be called remains TO be
seen.
Representative Blackburn, OF Kentucky, said
recently that Garfield and Arthur are better
than their party" and the C9urier-JOuraGl,
endorsing this remark. says: Now, as to Han
COCK. We are inclined to think that he, too, is
better than his party"
Tie legislature to be chosen In Alabama at
the election to-day will elect United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. John T. Morgan whose
term expires in March, 1888. Alabama has fol-
lowed the lead OF other southern states and
provided for the election of her legislature
quadTennialIy.
The Georgia democratic state convention will
be held at Atlanta on Wednesday, and the
lively fight to settle who shall be the candidate
for governor will then be ended, probably.
Judge Stallo, of Cincinnati, has come out In a
letter for Hancock and English. Judge Stallo
is a gentleman Of German extraction, OF good
character and fair abilities. whose public con-
sequence is largely derived from his frequent
changes from one party TO the other. He has
come out' SO often in fact, OF late years, that
the performance is no longer novel or signin-

The Portland Ore9Onidn says that the local
democratic papers In oregon have given up all
hopes of carrying that state for Hancock, and
are devot1Dg rheir entire energies to the can
