Political Points.
The Pennsylvania Democrats have de.
cided against parades and torchlight and
brass band demonstrations, and VIII use their
campaign funds In q more effective way. They
are not trusting solely to Republican dissen.
sions TO give them victory, but to hard work
and thorough organization.
The temperance question will probably be
thrust Into tho Connecticut campaign. The
Democrats are trying to mako 1t prominent,
hoping thus to embarrass the Republicans and
divert enough votes to the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor TO give them the State by
plurality. But the Republicans will doubtless
meeting the Issue squarely.
The Democrats have renominated four of
their present Congressman In Alabama, and
Will doubtless give the same honor to the
cation. The Independents are showing unex-
pected activity In some OF the districts, and
the Bourbon organs are filled with warnings
OF what disasters may occur to the party II
the Democrats do not wake up.
The Democrats will make a desperate eff
fort this year to capture the two Cincinnati
Congressional Districts. Their most probable
candidate is John +. Follett in the First Dis
trlct and Isaac Jordan in the Second District.
Mr.. Butterworth seemslto have no rival for the
Republican nomination ir the First District,
but there Will DO n contest In the Second Dis
trict between Congressman Young and Armor
Smith.
Mr.. William Whiting, the paper manu-
facturer OF Holyoke, Mass, is q candidate for
the Republican nomination to Congress In the
Eleventh District OF that State. He believes
in general reduction OF the tariff to the OK
tent OF one.third or one.fourth, In q reformed
civil service which Will put the oflices beyond
the control OF politics, and In Congress giving
more attention to the agricultural interests OF
the country.
The German saloon. keepers in Ohio who
have gone over TO the Democrats are giving
their new party friends trouble. They have
already caused serious split In Cuyahoga
County. In order TO please the Germans, a
man OF their nationality was nominated for
sheriff, over n tried Irish Democrat. The lat
ter at once bolted. Tho result Is likely to DO
serious and will effect not only tho county
Ticket but the State and Congressional tickets
also.
The Detroit Post and Tribune says of Hon.
John X. Boies, nominated for Congress in place
OF Hon. Edwin Willis in tho Second Michigan
District: "Alr. Boies is u sagacious, sound and
successful business man, and during his pub
lie career has won an enviable reputation as
prudent, careful and Intelligent legislator.
He is ready speaker, and Is personally pop,
ular. He Will make a strong candidate, and
an influential and useful member OF the Ma
tional legislative body"
The Republicans of Michigan, in conven-
tion yesterday, renominated David ii. Jerome
for Governor by reclamation. The remainder
OF the ticket nominated is as follows For Sec
rotary OF State, Harry A. Conant; State Treas
urer, Edward II. Butler, OF Detroit; Commits
sioncr OF the State Land ONCE, Captain Miner
s. Newell; State Auditor, General w. O. Stevens;
Acknowledgements, j.. j. Van ripper; Superln-
tendent OF Public Instruction, Varnum p.
Cochran; Member Of the State Board Of Edu
cation, d. W. jerks.
Ex-senator Pincbback, of Louisiana, who
is In New York, reports that tho political can.
yass In Louisiana has fairly commenced, and
that from now until November there VIII be
hot work on both sides. Tho struggle this
year Is solely for Congressman, and Mr.. Pinch
back has strong reasons for hoping that the
Republicans Will gain two, II not three Dele
gates, owing to discussions among Democratic
leaders. In the Third District he says Senator
Kellogg's election Is conceded by the Demo-
Gratis, and he believes that II q fair count Is
| made IN the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Districts,
where the colored voters are strongly In the
| majority. they. will elect Republicans. "rhe
Democrats have dropped the shotgun policy,
policy of counting out but think they will
have an uphill Job this time, for we will watch
| them" Mr.. Pinchback reports that the crops
throughout theStato are unprecedentedly large
