Political Points.

The Cleveland Herald says: 1t appears
TO be fairly fixed that Judge Geddes is to
be the next Democratic nominee for Cover
nor o; Ohio.
The Albany New York; Evening jour
nal QRepubllcan) thinks the Democratic
tide keeps on. IL says the first instalment OF
spring charter and town elections shows
uniform Democratic gains. Not only have
the Democrats increased their strength IN
the supervisor boards OF the Democratic
counties, but they have won largely in
counties which have been heretofore firmly
Republican. The tidal-waye OF last No
vember has not yet receded. when Herki-
mer county. which gave Cleveland 1000
then, elects a Democratic board OF super
yisOrs now.
Saws the Boston Herald: The charge that
the Democrats in Congress stand in the way
of tariff revision is not true, though it may
he hall true. A majority OF the Democrats
in both houses would be glad to have the
tariff settled by the Republicans, and so
avoid trouble when they come into power
i'm the next Congress. But these Demo
Gratis want real reduction and not sham
measure. On the other hand, a majority OF
the Republicans, aided by few Pennsyl-
vania and Georgia Democrats, want to
"make-belicve" revise the ;ariff without
any real reduction.
The Baltimore American says The OPP
portunity which the session now coming
to disastrous close offered TO the Rcpub-
lican party was TO make substantial re.
duction OF tariff and revenue taxation, and
thus anticipate the work that the coming
Congress must do. These opportunities
are rapidly fading away, and the country,
disappointed and Disguised, is beginning
TO look forward to the dissolution OF The
present Congress with feelings OF relief
The only means by which the House ear

meant to say no more than the Leader

Mr.. J. C. Howard came home from the Red
Mountains last week, to harvest his crop. He
has secured two claims near Ironton, and has
struck mineral on both of them. No test has
yet been made of the ore, but it looks way
up. He reports prospecting and development
going on very briskly during this fine wealth.
er, and new strikes are of an everyday occur
rance. In time the camp, in his opinion,
will rival Leadville in the amount and rich
ness of ore produced. He left specimens from
several mines in our cabinet, among them
one from the famous Yankee Girl. nd

DIVIDED THEY FALL.
Gum and His Divorced Wife Clutch
Each other ON Broadway, and
Take n Tumble.

A week or so ago the attention of the
public was drawn to n man named b. +.
Gum, who made "A terrible squeal because
some dusky dove had robbed him in a
bagnio, of about S25 in money. The
girl was discharged, and he was fined
enough so that he had little left of the
money he got back. The divorced wife
of Gum, under the name of Mrs. r. j.
Tippet, arrived here the other day from
Atlantic, and yesterday she met her hus-
band on Broadway. She had with her
one of their four children, a girl about
II years old. They had a set-to a once
as to who should have the girl.
They clutched and fell together
on the sidewalk, where they indulgedin a
disgraceful scramble until separated. He
choked her and she scratched him, and
both were finally led into the cooler.
Judge Aylesworth gave them a talking to
and as the woman agreed to let the man
have all the children and the man agreed
to take good care of them, they were
