GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

The Maine Democratic convention de-
clared in favor of Cleveland for President.
Thus far thirty leading Republican and
Independent papers have pronounced
against Blaine.
The Blaine managers announce some
heavy gains in Illinois. Ex-senator Davis
will support him.
The Cleveland boom seems to come up
spontaneous all along the line, and grows
as it moves.
The Delaware State Democratic Conven-
ton, last week adopted resolutions in favor
of the platform of '76 and 80, and for Bay
ard as the candidate for the Presidency.
The Louisiana Democratic Convention
pledged the State for any nominee or any
platform that the National Democratic Con-
vention may give.
The vote in New York In 1882 for Gov
ernor was as follows: "Cleveland 535 ,31S;
Folger 342, ,464. The vote of New York in
511.
Surveying the political field and noting
the expressions of opinion since Blaine's
nomination, the Baltimore Sun concludes
that Blaine "is strong in the States where a
strong candidate is not needed, and weak
in the States where the united vote OF the
party is indispensable to success"
The DemocraticState Convention of New
York, in session last week at Saratoga, was
not satisfactory in it's results to the friends
of either Cleveland or Flower. The trouble
arises with John Kelly and his Tammany
wing of the New York City Democracy.
He made demands to which the Convention
would not accede, and it is already broadly
stated that he has sold out to Blaine.
The Democratic State Convention of Ten
nessee adjourned on Thursday night after
renominating Governor Bate by acclama-
ton. The platform endorses the administra-
tion of Governar Bate, regards the adjust
ment of the debt of Tennessee as final and
pledges the maintenance of its conditions
and favors a tariff for sufficient revenue
only to defray the expenses of the Govern
ment.
The American Prohibition Convention,
in session at Chicago last Thursday, adopted
a platform and then proceeded to nomina-
ton for President of the United States. 5.
c.. Pomeroy, of Kansas, Governor st. John,
of the same State, and the Rev. j. Blan-
chard, of Illinois, were named. OF n votes
cast, Pomeroy received 72, and the nomina-
tion was made unanimous. For Vice-Pres-
ident. J. A Conant of Connecticut was NOM
mated by acclamation.
The Independent Republican organiza-
ton committee met in New York last
Thursday and chose Mr.. Curtis chairman.
It was decided to name the committee
"The Independent Republican Commit
tee." The following document was APPROX
ed and will be circulated throughout the
country for signatures: "The undersigned,
protesting against the nomination of Blaine
and Logan, propose to Join their otasi fellow,
sending representatives to general con-
ference to he held Immediately after the
Democratic National Convention, which
conference shall consider, in case the Dem
ocratic nominations do not justify the sup
port of protesting Republicans, what fur
ther action may be necessary to secure can
didates who will appeal to the interest,
clean and honest politics and sober, honest
sense of the American people,"
