POLITICAL NOTES.

At conference of the Prohibition party
of Maryland, it was resolved to put an en-
tire State ticket in the field.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the candidate of
the Womans Rights party for President is
charged with wearing false back hair. This
is supposed to be campaign SANDER.
- John Sherman expresses the opinion
that the Republicans can carry Ohio, but
that it will require energetic action and
hard work, and, he might have added-a
good deal Of ''soap."
- The organization of the Democracy Of
West Virginia is being rapidly perfected,
and all the indications point to a big Demo-
cratic majority in that State in the coming
election.
There are now five Presidential candi-
dates in the field, viz: Cleveland, Blaine,
Butler ST. John, Mrs. Lockwood and Capt.
Ellsworth. All are making speeches in
their own interests except Cleveland. He
will address the American people on the
4th of next March.
The Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks is max
ing telling and eloquent speeches in the
Western States, and he is drawing to him
very large and enthusiastic crowds. He is
fighting literally upon the tariff and ad-
ministrative reform platform. He deserves
success and success will crown his labors.
- Blaine is swinging round the circle.
But he does not seem to be setting things
in blaze as he goes. Thus far there has
been remarkable amount of GOODNESS and
Indifference in his receptions, the principal
persons greeting him being second and
third rate politicians.
Capt. w. L. Ellsworth of Boston, has
accepted the nomination for President of
the United States rendered by the Ameri-
can Political Alliance, and will personally
stump the States of Louisiana, Tennessee,
Maryland and Virginia. The headquarters
of the Alliance are to be removed from
Boston to Philadelphia, where they will be
established at the old American club house.
A stringency in money from one end of
this republic to the other. Hard times,
hard living, low wages. But there is S4l2,-
10000 in cash locked up in the government
vaults There's the financial policy of the
cessive taxation and let these millions of
locked up money remain in circulation
among the people. This is what the Demo-
cratic party demands.
- In order to explain away much of his
political record, Mr.. Blaine has decided to
take the stump, and the Philadelphia Times
warns him against this course to advo-
cate his own election, emphasizing its adj
monition by reminding him that every
PreSluenClal canQlQate OF the paSC VINO tOOk
the stump was defeated. Until 1852 no
Presidential candidate ever appeared active
ly in the contest.
- The Philadelphia Times says that no
where in this country is the buying of votes
carried on so extensively, openly and
shamelessly, as in the New England States,
but especially in Maine and New Hamp-
shire, where "the rural voter, a large num-
ber Of small farmers, who in other localities
have recognized position as independent
and honest, go into the market with their
votes. They dispose of them at price that
would discourage and surprise the manlpu-
lator of votes in city ward"
The Republicans are concentrating their
speakers and their money in Ohio for a
death struggle. If they are defeated IN
October they are hopelessly dead for No
vember. The Democrats hope to carry
Ohio, but they can lose it and then elect
Cleveland. We would prefer decisive
battle in Ohio in October, but that may not
take place until November. In any event,
we are confident of the result. Even If we
do not carry Ohio next month, and the in
dications are now that we will, we will be
certain to carry majority of the electoral
votes in November. The prospect for our
success is very encouraging, but the Repub-
licans are putting all their men and money
into Ohio in order to carry it in October.
