Political NOtaa

NOT a few newspapers of the West are record
ing the rumor that Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, of the
New York Tribune, will be a candidate for
United States Senator from New York.
THE Rev. Thomas X. Beecher, of Elmira. has
formally accepted the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
labor nomination for Secretary of State, and
promises, if elected, to perform the duties of
the office as well as he can.
THE Democratic officials do not expect any
change in the organization of the Senate at the
opening of the next session. They base their
hOpes, in great measure, upon rumors that there
is . disagreement AS to patronage between the
Virginia senators, Malone and Riddleberger,
who hold the balance of power. Tt is be-
lleved that these reported di-sagreemenis do not
exist. George Gorham, MahoDe's candidate for
of the Senate, certainly expects that
a reorganization will De attempted.

Mr.. SMALLEY's London cable special says
the very elements in Ireland have combined
to favor the Liberal government. There is a
good harvest and potato crop. This, togeth-
err with the operation of the land court and
the arrears act, has checked the disposition
which Ulster indicated some months ago, to
accept the Irish National League. The lever
age for creating disorder is destroyed. That
there are good crops in Ireland is matter for
universal rejoicing; but while that fact may
tend to repress agrarian outrage, it will not
stop the more peaceful agitation of the Irish
question. The Irish question" is up, and
will never be settled until home rule, at
least, is fully conceded.

THE Journal prints this morning the list
of persons drawing pensions resident in this,
the Seventh, congressional district. There
can be no prouder distinction for any hon
orable citizen to wear than to be a deserving
pensioner of the government for disabilities
received in the service of the country. The
list is printed by order OF the Senate of the
United States, and an idea of its
interest and value may be gath
cred from the simple statement
that every possible device was Tesorted to to
obtain advanced copies of the list. As might
be expected, certain so.called claim agents
were the most anxious of anybody; for their
desire would be to address circulars to pen
sioners inclosing applications for increase of
pensions. Pensioners may now expect to be
deiuged with these circulars, the principal
purpose being the securing of a small fee
by the agent. 1t can readily be seen that
there are millions in such a scheme if quick
ly worked, and pensioners should be on their
guard.

THE Republicans took the control of city
affairs from the Democratic party with a
treasury deficit of $69,427, 81. The debt had
been increased more than half a million dol
lars, and all the creditors of the city, labor
ing men and Others, were forced to accept
warrants Endorsed mo paid for want OF
funds" and which were cashed for ninety
cents on the dollar. At the end of the first
year of Republican management, there wasa
surplus in the treasury of $278, 24S. 80, and
there has been a surplus each year since. Do
the taxpayers want a surplus, or a deficit?

A DEMOCRAT hates a surplus as nature
abhors a cuu Democrats never permit
a surplus to exist. II is the surplus in the
treasury of the general government against
which they most loudly inveigh. 1t was the
surplus in the State treasury which the
Democrats expended as soon as possible, and
increased the State debt a million of dollars.
When they took charge of the city affairs in
1874 they spent a cash surplus of $3.50 $40,
and at the end of their two years they had
increased the debt $3.50, 9O4.61, and left a
treasury deficit of 500, 427, 81. This is the
Democratic record. III the taxpayers think
it bad practice to have a surplus they should
put the Democratic party IN power to spend
it, and run the city head over heels in debt.

A MEMBER of the New York Produce Ex-
change testified yesterday before the Senate
committee that 1000 of the 5000 members
were gamblers, and that the law of supply
and demand had nothing to do with the
transactions of the exchange. He recon-
mended that the sale of anything which the
seller does not have the control of at the time
of the transaction be made a penal offense.
What is true of this particular exchange is
true of nearly, if not all, the exchanges of
the country. The gam bling on boards of
trade, the gambling in exchanges, and the
gambling in bucket shops, is one of the great
est evils of the day oiall legitimate bust
ness. What to do about it, or what can be
lone about it, is no small question.

OUR old friend 80. O. s." returns to his
wallow, so to speak. He is never entirely
happy unless he is engaged in casting horo-
scopes" and juggling with figures. 1t does
not disconcert him in the least that he never
comes within a gun-shot of the truth, and
that when he tackles numerals and puts down
his predictions on paper he is a child
playing with soap bubbles. Mr.. Stealey has
been settling the speakership contest, and in
doing SO spreads out over a page or
two of the Courier-Journal with extracts
from letters from Democratic Congressman,
concluding the whole matter with wise rati-
are 19l Democratic Congressman, and, there
fore, So votes in the caucus will determine
the candidate. Mr.. Stealey gives Mr.. Ran
dali II votes; he thinks Mr.. Cox will receive
more than Randall, but giving him the same
number, II, he has used up 154 out of the
191 Democrats, leaving only 81 for Mr.. Car
Isle and the remainder of the candidates.
But Mr.. Stealey claims for Mr.. Carlisle at
least 116 votes not later than the second
or third ballot, which is twenty more than is
necessary to nominate him. Yet Mr..
stealey says "the contest may narrow
down between Carlisle and Cox" Just how
there can be a contest" or how it can
marrow down." where one man is to receive
20 votes more than a majority on the second
ballot, is more than we can grasp. And
when this dear, delightful Munchausen adds
that sit is by no means certain that the name
of Mr.. Randall will be presented to the eau
GUS" after he has conceded him II votes, why
we feel like giving the whole entire conun-
drum up, and saying with poor Jo., that sits
a. a muddle."

The Democrats, when in control of the
city government, managed to get away with
a cash surplus of $3.50, $1,000, and leave it, at
the end of two years, in debt to the amount
of $3.50, 427.9 81, and during the same period in
creased the debt $3.50, 904.61. All taxpayers
who like that kind of economy and reform
will vote the Democratic ticket on Tuesday
next. Those who do not want that sort of
financial management will vote to continue
the Republican party in control of affairs.

Complaint is made by resident republican
voters of the Empire state against the action
of the New York Republican association in
excluding from the benefits of the reduced

membership. 1t is claimed that voters not
connected with this association are first re-
quired to pay into the organization an en-
trance and other fees. and be duly elected
members, before they can procure the neces-
sary order emitting them to purchase a ticket
at reduced rates This action is not calcu-
lated to stimulate republican voters outside
the association to exercise their legal prcrog-
ative at the approaching election, and is open
to severe criticism.
