POLITICAL NOTES.


A good many states have been growing
persimmOns, but Ohio will knock down
the fruit next Tuesday.
The Prohibitionists Of the Fifth I'LL
nois District decided to support Reuben
Ellwood, the Republican nominee for
Congress.
The political complexion of tho Pitts.
burg conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church 10 as follows: Cleveland, s.;
st. John, 25, Blaine, 10.
Cleveland was not originally nOmi-
mated to please Democrats, bat to please
sore headed Republicans. and they are
not half pleased, either.
David Davis told the members of Re-
| publican delegation who called on him
| at Bloomington, ILL.,, that he was hearth
| ly with them in this campaign.
The object Of Grover Clsveland's visit
| to Buffalo last week was probably to see
whether Blaine left any Independents in
the place. His own ward, city, county
and state are all going against Cleve-
land in November.
Senator Morrill,. of Vermont, is now "a
years of age. His state now furnishes
the oldest Senator in years and the old
est in term of Office. and is the only
| state that holds its united representation
in the Senate of eighteen years ago.
Another broad hint to the Democracy
Is seen in the defeat of Congressman
Vance, OF North Carolina, because of his
free trade. Just set it down as q fact
| that the southern states are moving to-
ward protection, and when they come
into line away goes the free trade Dem
| Ocracy.
Grover Cleveland is a good enough
| free trader for Frank Hurd, good
enough prOtectiOnist for Samuel j. Ran
dali, and q good enough straddler for
Editor Pulitzer, of the New York World
This is the advantage of having a candi.
| date with duplex, movable principles.
At the National Convention of Drum.
mers," at Louisville Thursday night,
Joseph Mulhattan, OF Kentucky, was
| nominated for President Of the United
States, aud z. I. Collier. of Ohio, for
Vice President. The platform favors
| drummers, w0rkingmen, and prOhibi-
| ton, and the lain is made that they
can poll about 100000 votes.
The ovation to Blaine and Logan at
| Cincinnati Thursday evening is de-
scribed in the dispatches as one of the
greatest events in the history of that
| city. Governor Cleveland reached Buff
| falO about 8 o'clock Thursday evening,
and, Notwithstanding a heavy rainstOrm
prevailed, he was greeted by his friends
and neighbors in truly royal style.
The Prohibition candidates in the Sec
Ond New York Assembly District has
withdrawn in favor of the Republican
nominee.
| 1t Is said there was large and re-
spectacle meeting Of the seventh district
Republican kickers held in secret at ST..
Clair the other night. There were two
| persons thsrs, one being large and the
other respectable. The respectable man
was there by accident.
The Democratic majority In Ohio last
year was 1899. Bat Democrats don't
want to estimate on last year; they want
to run back four or eight years ago.
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut says
he thinks the republicans will carry
| New Jersey and is quite positive that
Blaine will carry New York, Ohio, In
diana and Massachusetts,.
The English complain very much of
the hard times, and say that things are
| duller than they have been at any time
since 1879. But they have free trade there
| in quantities to make Watterson and
A0rrisOn's party smile all over.
