The Democrats in the TWenty-secoud Con-
greesional District of Pennsylvania talk OF
nominating james d. Hopkins. He was a
candidate for the gubernatorial nomination
this year, and in the first five ballots received
more votes than Pattison. He has already
served one term in Congress, and can doubt
less have the nomination now if he cares
for it.
BISHOP, the Republican nominee for gov
ernor OF Massachusetts,, has a local reputa-
ton as a State legislator, and is SO familiar
with the affairs of the State as to qualify
him for the Office of governor; but Ben But
Ter, his Democratic opponent, is one of the
livellest debstors in the country, man of
immense resources intellectually as well as
politically, and since he has been so long
acting with the Republicans knows just
where to strike them hardest. He will make
it lively for Bishop.

supporting-x al be elected by 5000 majority
over Manning, and that in the First District
Blair, of Okolons, who will receive the sup
port of all the independent elements, will be
elected over his Bourbon opponents. Will
berry is doing what he can to secure the
requisite assistance" which the Independents

QUITE ripple of excitement was created
in Republican circles in Washington on
Wednesday by the simultaneous appearance
in the city of friend of Chalmers, direct
from the Second District of Mississippi, and
the rumor that Carter, Republican, had
withdrawn from the congressional contest in
that district. The following telegram from
the latter disposed of the rumor:
HERSANDo, Miss, September 10, 1882.

H c. CARTER.
IT seems that Robson is not to have
walk. over, although he was able to pocket
the Convention and secure the nomination
by reclamation. There are some Republi-
cans in his district who are not willing TO be
inventoried in the schedule OF the personal
property of the great Jersey navigator, and
are casting about for the best means of de- |
clsring their right to own themselves. What
has been absolutely decided upon does not
appear positively yet, but there is fair
prospect of a very respectable snti-Robeson
Republican vote, which will be cast either
for an independent nominee or for the reg
ular Democrat candidate.
HERE is the Nebraska plank of the De-
touching the liquor question: "The
State of Nebrasks, in common with other
States of the Union, has and exercises the
right OF regulating the sale of intoxicating
drinks in the interest OF good order within
he State, but the prohibition of the manu-
fscture and sale of such drinks within the
State is contrary to the fundamental rights
Of the individual, and 10 the fundamental
principles of social and moral conduct, and
if enacted will be neutralized by the consti-
luton of the United States, which permits
he introduction into every State of foreign
liquors imported from abroad, and controls
llso every form of interstate commerce"
THE defeat OF General Bragg in the con-
est for the nomination in the Second Con-
ressionsl District of Wisconsin will be gen.
rally regretted by his fellow Democrats of
ne House. He is by them held in the high
st esteem as an able and manly defendant
+ Democratic principles, and man of very
uperior abilities. The long contest in the !
our readers will remember, re. {
ulted in a choice after 1901 ballots had i
cen taken. Both the contestants-Brsgg E
nd Delaney-were defeated, and Lawyer
ummer, of Waukesha, was the lucky clark /
orse."
THE New Orleans Pcdyune says that the
elcome information of the denomination of /
Blanchard by the Democratic il
Convention of the Fourth Dis e
-ict is pleasantly spiced by its manner,
hich was nothing lees than reclamation. :,
lr. Blanchard will be ungrateful to de- Il
oted constituency if he does not ackDowl- I
lge the high honor showered upon him by y
taking redoubled efforts to deserve it. Mr.. y
blanchard is one of the most youthful men b
no ever sat in the halls of national legisIa- ii
on. He has not yet completed the thirty sc
urth year of his age, and he was but thirty
Ears old when he represented Caddo parish
the Seventh Constitutional Convention.
