POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

THE little that is published of the Hon.
james g. Blaine's book gives promise of 4
rich treat in store for every one interested in
the history Of his country. There will be a
chapter on sunstrokes.
Mr.. HENDRICKS very emphaticaIly de-
MES the BilIimore Suns story about his dis
gust with Mr.. Tilden at Saratoga, in 1876,
and says there is not word OF truth in 1t.
Now it is the Baltimore Suns turn.
WHILE the Woman Suffragists, Green
hackers, Prohibilionists and other RepuOli-
can allies are airing their isms 10 Ohio, the
Democrats are looking on and quietly pre-
pairing 10 produce platform and bring out
leaders on the 2lst that will capture the State
az if by storm.
Ex-Gov. A. H. RICE, OF Massachusetts,,
has been unfortunate in his love. His first
wife died early. His wedding day WAS APP
pointed with second lady, but she died
shortly before. He became engaged TO q
third LADY, whom he married, but she became
insane shortly afterward.
SENATOR CoLoUITT il exuberantly gener-
GUS 10 "the literary fellers" down South.
Recently he presented home and farm to a
Southern poet, and now he hes presented a
$1,000 span of horses 10 Editor Grady, of the
Atlanta Constitution. The question il nov in
order, what does Colquitt want Grady to do?
In Pennsylvania it seems that divorce is
mere matter of legal fees. Judge Mitchell
thought the laws even more lax than those
of India ma" while Judge Arnold said: "To
my mind one of the most fruitful causes Of
our long divorce list is the cheapness of a
divorce. 1t is we'll known that some lawyers,
who, indeed, ought not 10 be al the bar,
guarantee a divorce for $50"
IN ranIfIafa IN,
1880 for the Vice. Presidency, is not sure
that Indiana can be counted for the Dem
ocracy, but that State will nevertheless pre-
sent two candidates for the Presidency. He
says: "Mr. Mcdonald or Mr.. Hendricks
would either OF them make very strong can
didste, aud either would be acceptable TO the
Democrats Of Indiana"
APPARENTLY the political project of cut
ting Dakota in Two parts and admitting the
southern half 10 the sisterhood OF States has
been abandoned. At any rate the Chicago
Tribune speaking of the selection of BIS
msrck as the capital of The Territory, Gays
that town "has received the distinction of
being named az the capital Of what We be-
lleve will be neither Northern nor Southern,
but an undivided Dakots."
Now that some one hiss suggested that Mr..
Hendricks may be willing to run with Mr..
Tilden 10 1884, because there is possibility
OF Democratic victory, and of the cam
Paign telling so severely upon the old gen.
tleuau that 10 be elected Vice President
would De almost IS good as being elected
Presiden, there is nothing left for Mr.. Hen
bricks to do but to commit political hari-
kari, feat which he is perfectly competent
10 perform, judging by his recent doings.
Our in Nevada the question of sue
70 SapatNn Tok, ID 20 aS,
vassed The rule is TO knock down the posi-
lion to the highest bidder who desires it, and
a count is being made of the millionaires
supposed to nurse Senatorial ambition. Jones
has less filthy lucre that when elected several
years ago, apd is now overshadowed by
score of others, chief OF whom ia joan w.
Mackey. However, it is not known that
Mackey thirsts for the honor of figuring as a
senatorial wooden man.
ALTHOUGH several months will elspse
before the New Jersey Dem ocrats and Re-
publicans hold their gubernatorial conven-
tions, the political excitement is slre ady
running high. The Democratic candidates
for the nomination are the Hon. Leon Abb
bett, Ex-United States Senator John P. Stock
ton, Mayor Garrett, ID. Vroom, Congressman
Fielder, Chancellor Runyon, A. W. Cutler,
Ex-Congress A. A. Hardenberg and An
drew Albright. The Republican aspirsnts
are Senator John Taylor, John Hill, Con-
gresham ]. Hart Brewer, J. G. Shipman, E.
r. Colby and Senator Alfred Merritt.
BEFORE Gen. Grant left Louisville, Col.
Swope introduced Mr.. j. Fletcher Johnston
to him. Mr.. Johnston addressed him as FOL-
lows: 81 have always desired to shake hands
with the great soldier who so magnanimously
returned the sword OF Gen. Lee to him wnen
he surrendered at Appomattox, and then
stood between the Confederate captains aud
the civil power, which sought their indict-
ment and trial for treasos, by saying if such
course was pursued, in violation OF his
terms of surrender, he would resign his COM
mand of the army" Gen. Grant grssped
his hand warmly, and was visibly affected
by the address. There is a tender spot in his
breast.
Mr.. BLAINE will, according TO the Phils-
delphia Press, soon leave Washington for
Augusta, where he will continue work on his
history, the first volume of which, contain
ing SCOUT 600 pages, will be in the printers
hsnds by fall. Six hours of hard labor are
daily devoted by Mr. Blaine to literary work,
and he seems to enjoy it heartily. He pro-
duces daily about fifteen closely written
foolscap pages OF manuscript, every line be-
ing carefully penned and revised, without
the aid OF a stenographer. There will not,
it is said be in the book single extract
from any speech, report, book, pamphlet or
document. The brief quotations that will
be used are copied out by Mr.. Biaine's own
hand, and will geographically be distin-
guished from the body of the text only by
quotation points.
JUDGE GEORGE HoADLY, OF CINCINNATI,
will, according TO present indications, be the
Democratic nominee for Governor Of Ohio.
He will go into the Convention with solid
deleg atoms from Cinciansti and Cleveland,
and many counties have already instructed
for him, including Butler, one of the largest
counties in the State. The New York Sun
expresses the opinion that he will be elected
by large majority should he be the nomi-
nee, as he is especially strong with the Ger
mans, whose sentiments he hss championed
professionally in the celebrated liquor cases
before the courts. 1t is further said in
the event of his election ss Governor Judge
Hoadly will loom up a strong candidate
for The Democratic nomination for President,
for which he possesses The requisites Of great
ability and learning and an u1sullied repu-
tation. The Ohio Democratic Convention
meets Thursday OF next week.
