THE DEMOCRATS MUDDLsp.
SpecuIaffOns About what May Oi
Stay Not be Done at Chicago.

6Ouub hHt huJ Ut
Stay Not be Done at Chicago.
II the delegates that go to Chicago next
month 10 nominate Il candidate for the PresI-
dency on the Democratic ticket are in as
muddled state OF mind as the Members of
Congress and prominent politicians are hero
tho Lord only knows what the result OF their
meeting will be. The great stumbling block
IN tho way with u majority OF them Is that not
one OF these distinguished statesmen aud
politicians can form any idea about what tue
New YORK delegation isgoing 10 do or who 1t 10
likely 10 push forward.
The coolest aud best.posted politicians here
who know anything about New York say that
the delegation does not want a New York man
at all. They prefer TO take some man outside
the State, contenting themselves with the tall
OF the ticket.
That being the case the question is who Is
the man? II is known that Mr.. Whitney is
the son.in.law OF Mr.. Payne, of ohio, aud that
Whitney and Jacobs, both delegates.at.large,
are working together, and that they are the
sbrewdest men In New York politics.
II is also known that Governor Cleveland
has not more than thirty-one out OF the
seventytwo delegates, and that about an
equal number are tor Flower. SO u Will be
seen that the non-committal-d or OPP
ponepts OF both Cleveland ana Flower, hold
make any trade or compromise to defeat
Cleveland. Now, this may make a dickor
with Flowers friends, and thereby control tho
vote Of New York. Whether they viii be
able TO name the man Is another question.
1t is said that tho minority OF the delegates
| under the lead OF Whitney are for Payne OF
| Ohio, and arc ready to make q trade with tho
| Flower men, giving them the second place. II
| this is true, and Flowers friends agree TO H.,
OF course that Will give the State solid TO Payne
IN the convention. But here another trouble
| arises In this that II is said Payne Will not
| have his own State solid amt that he is unpop.
ular IN Indiana. II that ts a fact he cannot get
| tho nomination. There are tnose who think
that under all circumstances the logic OF
| events may possibly turn upon Mr. Randall, of
Penneylvania.

What Ex-Congressrnan Harrisou Va
Says About II.

Judge Harrison, OF Tennessee, ono OF the
ablest men In that great commonwealth, has
been In the city for a couple OF weeks pnst,
having In charge some important cases before
the supreme Court ofthe Unitod States. Being
asked what was tho chance for carrying tho
State for Blaine and Logan, he replied
"lirst-rate; the prospect has not been as
good since 1872"
"what reasons have you for thinking so,
Judgef"
"Weli, In the frat place, the Republicans
are IN better lighting trim than they ever were

ing and mining interests have inst begun u

sources are fully developed and our hills and
valleys are covered ana dotted with prospsr-
Gus towns ana cities. To accomplish this wo

third place, the Green hackers have nomluated

thousands of Democrats, who are disgusted
with the hidebound old f0ggyism, Will vote

fourth place, the Democrats are all split up
into warning factions no two OF which can or

might mention think II IL plain that We have

TIE SCHOOL BOARD.
Some Sensible Views About the Ap-
pOfutment OF Trustees, dc.

VI hEuStCtSs NCs
The colored people on Capitol Hill anu In
South Washington think that they have been
Disseminated againsti the matter OF having
representative ON the Board of Public
School Trustees. .l
Committees OF colored citizens have waited
on the District Commissioners on various occa
sions lately and recommended the appoint
ment Of certain colored men on the school
board TO succeed either Trustees Warner,
Baum or Brooks Qhe latter colored), whose
term OF of1lce expire on the Both instant.
CRITIC reporter inquired OF District oom-
missioner Edmonds this afternoon IL tho Com.
miesioners had determined to appoint q col
ored trustee from Capitol Hill.
Ho replied that the question had not boon
settled, but ae far as he was concerned, he did
not believe In appointing man because he
was colored man or because he belonged to
any particular party.
portant position to Ill and must be peculiarly
lifted for It, 80 that the best results may fol-
low. SO far, we have been very fortunate In
getting excellent and competent gentlemen to
serve, and We hope to meet with the same
success In the future. We are going To get the
best men we can, regardless OF color, that tho
best interests OF the schools may be served, In
case the three gentlemen whose terms expire
on the 30th Instant do not remain on the
board"
The Commissioner stated that the colored
people have mistaken idea about having
colored instructors. He said they contend
that they should have colored Instead OF white
people, but ho thought the white teachers we're
more competent to MI the position. There ia
come objection TO the present arrangement,
because the colored people do not get some OF
the positione and little salaries paid out by
the Government. This is mistake, and arises
out OF ignorance and prejudice. II is OF para
mount Importance that the very best teachers
In every respect should be put over children,
ard no petty prejudice like this should enter
INTO such an important measure as tho educa-
Hon and moral training OF thousands OF chill

Strength.
Mr.. j. II. woodard, the "Jayhawker" OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer, and one OF the shrewdest
Republican politicians 10 Indiana, is at the
Riggs House. In the last week Of March THE
CRITIC interviewed him while here, when he
said. "Mr. Arthur probably docs not know 1t,
but no is not In this race. Blaine Will be the
nominee and will be elected" so far his pre-.
diction has been verified. Ho It was who
started the Blaine boom In the West last win
ter, and he has been prominent factor In
bringing about the nomluatlon OF the Plumed
Knight. He is here on his way to New York
with the Hon. John O. New, VINO wilt attend
the meeting OF the National Republican Com
mittee on Thursday. CRITIC reporter this
morning sought Mr.. Woodard for some infor.
nation regarding Indiana politics. He was
asked:
"How was 1t that John G. New was elected
chairman OF the State Central Committee, as
well as member OF the National Committee
from Indinnal"
"There were two excellent reasons for 1t.
Mr.. New is by far
The Best Political Manager
in our State. For that reason he was needed.
Then our eide, the Blaine side, was on top Ia
the State and committee. We knew that Mr.
New was an upright party man, and would
Loyalty support any man put In the race, but
there were people who might feel like they
were not sufficiently recognized, aud the cleo
tlon OF Mr.. New STATISTICS tnem. Tnen Mr.. new
is not All aspirant; he did not want an ofIlce,
but being charged with the duty OF carrying
his State for o candidate who was not his nrst
choice, Will bring out his best efforts. Tho
plain truth is, the Indiana Republicans have
great confidence and faith In Mr.. New, and
have shown II by their action In giving him
tho command of their campaign, and he Will
succeed"
Mcdonald Cannot Carry Indiana.
"Then you think Mr. Mcdonald cannot carry

A GENTLEMAN was in the city yesterday
from Western New York who was formerly
an NJ c. from his district. Ia conversa-
tion with an old and intimate friend who
resides here, the Representative said
that the enthusiasm in Western New York
for Blaine and Logan was something phe-
nomenal that nothing like it has been
seen there since the war, and that the old
est workers in the party were perfectly
astounded at the ease with which euthusi-
astic multitudes could be gathered into
immense mass-meetings. If this gentle
mans representations are correct and there
is no reason on earth to doubt his word, the
Republican ticket will come up to Cayuga
Bridge with majority that will oyerbal-
ance all that New York aud Brooklyn
can do.
