: MAJOR CAMPBELL WALLACE and Chief
Justice ackson are favorably mentioned fol-
the senatorship made vacant by the death Of
| Ben Hill.
4 THE Yazoo City Herald is right. John

I party.

rof George NJ. Klein is tower of strength to

Third district. Citizens of the valley, let US
1 hear from you.
THE Kansas City Times says that John
Cosgrove is sure to be elected to congress
from the Sixth Mississippi district, and the
1 Greenbackers are undertaking a useless job
to find a candidate to beat him.
The political prophets in Ohio are greatly
puzzled by the confusion which the temper
ance question is causing. Their predictions
/ are a good deal wilder than usual, and
| conflicting as they can well be.
The Yszoo City Herald says: "1'he Fusion

| ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS explains that
he has been in full sympathy with the DEM

blundered. The stockholders of the KeeIy

SECRETARY FoLGER continues to tulmi-
nate high-grade morality at Jay Hubbell's
4 two per cent. squeeEers, but he winks the

COLONEL JAMES o. BRoADHEAD will prob
ably be the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the Ninth Missouri district. Col
onel Broadhead has steadily refused 10 al
Low his name 10 be used until few DAYS
ago. The district is made up of eleven wards
of the city of ST. Louis, and comprises nearly
all the same territory as the one represented
by the late Thomas Allen.
GENERAL JAMES LoNGsTREET, wko was
nominated for copgressm an at-large by one |
faction of The Republican party of Georgia, !
believes that il is unwise for the Republicans |
to nominate any distinctively party candi- |
dates in that State this year, and he has ac-
cordiugly declined to run. He thinks that |
the only way to defeat the Democrats is for |
all the anti-Bourbon elements to unite.
IT is reported that Mr.. Blaine is pulling |
the wires to make Straightout Republican
candidates pop up in opposition to miscege-
nation ca ndidates in the South, and that he
encouraged Carter, the Republican straight
out, to run against Chalmers, the political
miscegenationist, in Mississippi. 1t is said
that Mr. Blaine's policy is to identify him.
self with the Straightout Republican move
ments in order to further his chances for the
Republican, nomination for President.
The Eleventh congressional district of
Pennsylvania has been prolific of Demo-
cratic deadlocks in past time and the pres
ent yesr will doubtless prove no exception.
1t is strongly Democratic, having a party
majority of 5000. There are six candidates
in the field, Ex-senator Buckalew being one
of them. Mr. Klotz, the present representa-
tive, is also in hopes that in the wrangle sure
to arise among so many aspirants he may be
fixed upon a compromise candidate,
THERE is another Independent candidate
for Congress in Georgia. Judge II. D.
Twiggs is going to run against Mr.. Seaborn
Reese, who is the Democratic candidate in
Mr.. Alexander H. Stephens's district. The
Atlanta Constitution justly says that as a
aedgling Independent, it Is natural that
fudge Twiggs should announce himself an
Democrat; but when he grows
little older in the business he will discover
hat Independentism and Republicanism are
working toward the same end-the destruc-
ion of the Democratic party.
The San Francisco Examiner says that
9eneral Rosecrans, distinguished soldier,
nan of large experience in the affairs of
ivi1 life, who has deserved we'll of his
ourltry and his immediate constituency,
whose public life has been remarkably up
light and whose private life is without re- {
,roacls, is the Democratic candidate for
congress from this district. Opposed to |
i'm is Paul NeumanR. Should there be 5
he least doubt about the reelection of
GENERALLY Rosecrans? The old veteran has
erved us faithfully during one term. Let !
IS send him back.
The Chicago Times says that the mana
ers of the Republican machine at Wash
1gton have given out that Independent /;
movements of all sorts which tend to break e
p the Southern Democracy will be encour-
ged with money from headquarters. Over
$4,000 has been sent into Virginia to help I
Iahone. Hubbell is supplying Chalmers /
nth the cash necessary to beat Manning.
Wherever an independent candidate has
lken the track in Democratic State, he
as been tenderly cared for by the Republic f
au party managers. The Republicans ex- o
ect by this course to be able to elect either :,
traig htou: Republicans to Congress or In \
epend'ents, whom they can control. b
Mr.. BLAINE challenges anyone to show Z
