Not in Politics,

l heard a very sensible thing recently
from q young man who had just
plucked the political bee from his bon
net. "What are you going to run for
this spring." l asked. Gle has been
q standing candidate for some position
or other for several seasons past 81
am not candidate for apything,n he
said, "and | don't want you to get me
mixed up in politics any more. If you
ever catch me running again before
I'm so, l want you to proclaim me q
swindler. No, sir; I've been there and
I've been burned. It's only one man
in hundred that succeeds in politics.
The other ninety if they stick to
the business, will wind up in the poor
house OF, what is equally bad, as
stool-pigeons in gin-mill. l speak
from an experience of three years, and
1 know I've just stopped on the brink
of o precipice. Pm going to attend to
business for the rest of my life-at
least till I'm 60-and then, if an adj
miring nation wants to make me JUS
tice Of the Peace, I'm willing But no
high aspirations, o, no!'' Ninety-nine
out of every hundred of the young
men who make business of politics
ought to cut this out and swear by it.
1t is applicable to the horde of office
seeking youth who come from all Sec
tons of the State when the Legislature
convenes, rs well as to many who are
afflicted with the political mania in

The delegates from the four Congress
sional Districts of Chicago are a fair
reflex of the character and status OF
the Democracy. From the First Dis
trict Joe Mackin and Billy Seipp are
the delegates. Joe MacIin is a ward
politician who is identified with the
worst elements of the city, and was de-
tected only few days ago III stu1nng
ballot-boX at the Democratic primaries.
Billy Seipp is gentleman who, has al
ways been ready to train with the class
whom Mackin represents whenever
there was chance for him to. secure a
fat office. The delegates from the

Aldermen and leaders in the various

payers swindled, and the city disgraced
these several years. They stand for
1.-The big four" in local politics, and
| their former connection with the Whls-
| ky ring gives them a status in n National
| politics. Carter Harrison and Chris
tian Casselman are to represent the
| Third District. Carter Harrison is the
Democratic Mayor Of Chicago who
has been elected three times by Mike
Mcdonald and the gamblers, and who
raids the gambling-houses whenever
| they are suspected of dislOyalty to his

less manages to keep on good terms

triumph of the hummer element was
marked by the defeat Of Melville W.
Fuller, alawyer of ability and excel
lent standing, by Joe Mackin in the
First District. The National Conven.

Chicago Democracy from the delegates;

In the lead productions of the differ

rank, the amount reaching some 120,-

$1,000 tons are derived from one dis

than 800 mines are registered. OF this
large number, however, only compar-
atively small portion arc actually work

try. but that the combinations of other
leaders against him are at the same
time growing in power. The belief is
as general here that the apparent oppo-
sition to him among labor men has lit
tie real foundation. AS to the confer
ence in New York there is no doubt
but Ben Butler and John Kelly have
been in consultation for some time.
Butler is known to be working for the
support of the Irish vote, and his
scheming in New York is mainly for
the purpose of completing arrange
ments which will help create the I'M
preston in Chicago that he alone or
the Democratic leaders can prevent the
Irish Democratic vote from going to
Blaine. This is to be the main argu-
ment to support Buffers claim to Inc
nomination. Thus far the most active
and INSCRIPTIONS work against Govern
or Cleyeland has been performed ny
Butler himself or in his interest. lie
has had Kelly's support up to a certain
point. 1t is a curious fact that the
Friends of Western candidates are far
more disposed to give Wayto Cleve!a ana
than are those of Eastern candidates.
A large majorityof Western Democrats
do not expect to secure the first place
for their section. This yielding OF the
West seems to have intensitied the
scramble atthe East. Next to Butler
the Randall men seem to show the
greatest activity against Cleveland,
and next to them are the supporters or
Bayard. AS to the latter. his Southern
support is failing every day. This is
not because they have lost any respect
for or confidence in him. On the con-
| trary, these feelings are only qulckened
| and deepened into something akin to
devotion by the publication of his Do
yer speech and the one faVorlng pay
ment for slaves, but at the same time,
compelled to take strong ground
against him, and thus it has come to
pass that the Southern members who
really think the most of Bayard are also
the most decided in opposition to Sc
lecting him.
The revival of Tilden talk is attrib-
uted largely to those who begin to tear
| that Cleveland cannot be nominated,
and not seeing any chance of uniting
on the other candidates who are the
more generally talked about turn to
| Tilden as the name that can save them.
On the inside of things there seems to
be two branches to the Tilden revival.
One is a real desire to nominate him;
the other seems to be the nature OF an
intrigue to carry some one through the
convention with Tilden's assistance.
This plan appears to have as its first
step the rushing of Mr.. Tilden through
the convention, then an adjournment
for day to notify him of the result.
with the expectation that his dispatch
in reply will insist upon declining, and
at the same time do this in such terms
as to make it clear to the convention as
to which one of the other candidates
would be acceptable to him. All infor-
nation agrees in representing Ben But
Ter as bent on making a row unless he
said this in plain language to some of
his Intimate friends within few days.

blaine was the first choice of u major
ity, hut that Arthur would have been
HE second choice of very many of the
blaine men. In other words, there
was no possible show for any dark horse
in the Republican convention. The
nemocratic convention may not be
neryaded by that sentiment, but the
Chances are that it will be. There are
waves of public opinion III politics,
and if they are non-partisan in their
nature they generally extend to both
examinations. 1t is hardly probable
that the Democracy should be unaf-
fected by the popular demand for a
thoroughly representative candidate.
Reasoning by analogy, the campaign
for which preparations are now being
made must be a square and direct
STRUGGLE between the two parties on
theiT more distinctive issues. Certain
if is that the Republican National
Committee must not attempt to dodge:
The June convention set an example OF
courage which ought not to be lost
mon the committee charged with car
rYing out the will of that convention.

yelopment of Republican strength, and
not try to win by any possible indlrecc-

Getting Ready.

The selection of Mr.. Jones, of Penn
sylvania, as Chairman Of the National
Republican Committee is accepted as
evidence that the campaign is to be
run upon high business principles. He
is not politician. According to all
accounts nothing would induce him to
resort to trickery. "Stoops to conquer"
will not be his motto. The Secretary,
Mr.. Fessenden, of Connecticut, is a
lawyer of fine ability and irreprOach-
able character. He was a somewhat
conspicuous delegate to the National
convention of 1880. an enthusiastic
Blaine man. The only hold-OVer Off
cial is Hooker, of Vermont, who was
assistant Secretary four years ago, as
now.
Very little will be done until after
the July convention and the letters OF
acceptance. A political canvass is a
campaign, and it is impracticable to do
much beyond perfecting the organiza-
ton until the platform and tickets of
the other side have been put in the
field. The line of battle can not be de-
termined by one party. 1t takes the
concurrence, or the conclusion, rather,
Of both: It may be that the tariff will
be the chief question of the day, and
i
will be one which will inevitably revive
the old issues. 1t is idle to speculate
on the matter, and impossible to fore
cast the action Of the Chicago conven-
ton No. 2. In the interim the Repub-
lican forces, now ready for battle, must
keep their powder dry, and not fire I'M
til they see the whites of the enemies
eyes.
Just now the Cleveland stock is a
little low. The boom for the Governor
of New Y ork has somewhat subsidized.
Tilden is slowly creeping toward the
front again. One hears faint noises
suggestive of Whisper Alley. The
most ancient Samuel rose from the
dead to have a seance with his protege,
Saul, and another witch of Endor may
be at hand with necromantic power.
Then, too, Allen G. Thurman has been
added to the list of possibilities. No
Ohio man really expects to be struck by
lightning in July but the red bandanna
may possibly be the flag of the Dem
ocracy. Stranger things have hap
pened.
The most elaborate preparations have
been made by General Butler for eX-
tensive headquarters at the Palmer
House during the convention. lie will
IL
Failing in this, his game will be to car
ry State or two if possible, so as to
throw the election into the House of
Representatives, when he might, by
hook or crook, mostly crook, hold the
balance of power. His game is dou-
ble-ender. Cunning in his case is re-
enforced by capacious barrel, but no
conscience, and that deficiency is sure
to be fatal.
The recent National convention
showed a courage which is having a.
very wholesome effect upon public
opinion. For the first time in its his
tory the party had the pluck to nomi-
nate it's civil leader. Fremont, Lin
coin, Hayes and Garfield were all dark
horses, and Grants service had been
purely military, Judging from the
past one would have said that neither
Arthur nor Blaine could be nominated,
but the sequel shows not only that

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Truth says: Conformation
that has come into my possession from
a source entitled to the fullest conf
dence leaves no doubt that a concerted
effort is to be made to slaughter the
democratic candidate in the interest of
the plumed knight of Maine. This is
not merely move to kill Cleveland.
1t goes much further, and means that,
whether the coming Chicago conven-
ton dominates Cleveland or Bayard or
Thurman or anybody else, no effort
will be spared by certain leaders, in
favorable positions, to sell out for the
benefit of MI. Blaine" It is pretty
generally understood that Tammany
sold out Hancock in 1880, and it will
doubtless be well to watch its sachem
this year.

Speaking of Blaine.

The advent of James G. Blaine at
the head of American affairs will evil
IDENTIFY create sensation very similar
to that which the advent OF a Palmers-
ton or Beaconsfield has been wont to
occasion in England after the helm of
state had for time been intrusted to
a statesman loaded down with prom
ises of internal and domestic reform.
1t has an effect like that which the re-
turn of Bismarck to power in Germany
might have had if at any time the helm
of state had been withdrawn from him
in favor of a peace premier. Not mere
" in France, but all Europe see in
James G.. Blaine the Gambetta OF
America.
His advent to the Presidency would
be the first occasion in the history OF
our Nation when the United States
would stand toward Europe in the atti-
hide of a first-class power presided
over by firSt-clasS man, with no do
nestle questions to divert his attention
from foreign affairs, and with ambi-
lions prop0rtionate to his opport unities.
A navy would need to be created, but
it would be done. Our foreign com
merce would need to be restored, but
under right policies that would come
back to us with whirl that would
make the heads swim on the shoulders
of those who wheedled it away from
us. A good deal would have to be
done in the way of getting ready, but
all this would advance wages and i'm
prove business. At least this is the
view Europe is getting as her states
