With reference to the action Of the coalition
lists Of his county repudiatng Malone, he
says those engaged in it are in earnest, and
will do all they can to defeat the Boss. He
says they think Malone has treated them
badly, and that they are bent in getting

AZ. Il
convention seems to afford general satisiac-
| ton to all the democrats here. New
Workers say the ticket is the strongest that
could have been nominated, and that Kelley
will exert his utmost efforts TO achieve its
success, if for no other reason, TO show the
difference between what the democrats can
do without Tammany and what they can do
with il. The nomination is certainly less
| Objectionable than any that could have
been made, and with the lukcwarmness Of
the Cornell or Blaine men to assist it, stands
an excellent chance Of success, so excellent
| that the republicans here confess that it will
tax their power to the utmost limit to de-
feat it.
1t seems to be generally understood in
the Frederick, Maryland. Congressional
district, that Mr.. Montgomery Blair will be
! the democratic candidate in that district
and his friends say that the prospect of his
election is by no means untavoraba, as Nc
Comas, the republican nominee, while pop
uiar with the Knights Of Labor, is for that
very reason unpopular with the republicans
in the lower part of the district. In the
Marlboro district it is understood Mr. Chap
man will be rcnominated and elected with
out much trouble.

He speaks in the most confident terms of
his election, anu says that Dawson will get

1t seems that the jury in the star route
case made pretty good use OF their time be-
fore Judge Wylic shut Off their supply of
liquor, as the bill for their accommodation
during the short period the marshal had
them in charge, which was filed in court to-
day, included the cost of thirty-nine bottles
Of wine.
Ii is understood to-day that the Depart
mcnt Of Justice has information that money
was paid directly to Brown, the colored
juror in the star route case, by one of the
defendants in that case, to induce him to be
one of the three to hang the jury.
