Political.

On Tuesday next, in Chicago, the
Republican National convention meets
to nominate candidate for the Presi-
dency.
AS matters now stand and us we see
them, there are but two prominent can
didates; Pres. Arthur and Ex-senator
Jas. G.. Blame and there is nothing
known with sufficient certainty to JUS
tify any one in affirming positively that
either one may not be nominated on the
first ballot. If such should not be the
case, the chances are, we think, decld-
elly against either one Of them rec"lv-
ing the nomination at all, while we are
very certain, that should there be TAX
en- three or four ballots and neither
one nominated, then neither will be
nominated at all. Senator Edmunds
is the one most likely then to be nom
mated, although political conventions
do some very unexpected things and in
case Arthur and Blaine both fail, the
choice may fall upon one of whom few
are thinking at present. We believe,
however that Blaine will be nominated
The Democracy has started its pres
idental ball in motion and thus far
little has been heard from any quarter
other than tie cold ticket, 'Tilden anc
Hendricks. A very few state conven,
tons have been held and as no other
names have been prominently mention
ed, there is little upon which to base :
surmise as to possible other candidate

than we have done this was the good res
olution of sundry Members of the llousa
of Representatives at the hour of adj

was prompted by the fact that three days
of the time Of last week was spent
over the contested election case of
Peelle VS. English, which was of little
interest to the general public. During
the debate there were but few visitors
in the galleries. and they did not per
nit themselves to become excited and no
sensation prevailed on the floor of the
House throug hout the fight. The close
ness of the contest excited much deeper
feeling than had the element of uncer-
taipty been lacking. The ayes and nays
were called five times, and not until the
the close of the last was it at all certain
that Mr.. English would get the seat of

THE INDIAN AND THE TELEPHONE


A delegation Of Apache Indians, who
had been visiting Washington, stopped
over at Carlisle, Pa, few weeks ago,
to see the Indian school there. They
admired many things, but did not APP
pear to be deeply impressed until they
saw teacher step up to box fasten-
ed to the wall and begin to talk to it
They asked what the man was doing,
and, by way Of an answer, they were
shown the workings of to telephone
The instrument seemed TO the Apache
to be marvellous. They talked to a
part of tho delegation miles away
through the telephone, and danced sfol
joy when they discovered that they
could make the mysterious thing speak
their own language. Some thought it
must be the Great Spirit who thus an
swered questions from the depth Of a
box.
