National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-10-03
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

1t is pretty evident that Hon Hart B. Holton
will be returned to congress again from the
fifth Maryland district. The decided popular
ity that carried him safely through In his last
election seems to be unabated. He is making
Il vigorous and effective canvass, his meeting
at Millington near Baltimore on Wednesday
being said to have been the largest republican
meeting ever held in Baltimore county, be-
tween four and five thousand persons being
present.
Reports from the Frederick district are very
favorable to Mr.. McComas, the indications be-
ing that his majority will be largely increased
quite remarkable degree of activity and in
terest prevails in the republican ranks, es.
pecially is this the case in Frederick county,
where their meetings are characterized by an
attendance and enthusiasm unprecedented in
the county.
Hugh Grant, the Tammany nominee for
mayor Of New York, is quite young man, be.
ing but 30 years of age. Dugro, the candi-
date for comptroller,i is about the same age.
Kelly, in referring toVrant's nomination, was
quite complimentary TO young men, saying
that most of the remarkable men had achieved
their great successes before the age of 80, He
also spoke Of Seth Low as an instance of q
young man who had made very good mayor
of the neighboring city of Brooklyn. Grants
nomination has set all sorts of rumors and in
Itrigues on foot in New York, 1t is of more
than local importance forit is more than likely
| to be one of the elements that will go far to-
ward deciding the presidency Tammany has
more voters under Its banners than any of the
other democratic organizations, but il does
not possess vote equal to that of
the republican party. With Tammany
| on one side and the remaining
democratic factions oompactly arrayed on the
other, the republicans could outvote either
| and capture the county and city Offices. But
precisely such a condition of affairs could
hardly be brought about, for Irving Hall is q
| sort of jackal to the Tammany lion and would
| Join forces there rather than with the County
| Democracy. Besides Tammany Is tolerant
| body in its policies and always has republi-
can affiliations in its local contests. Under
| pressing contingencies II can easily transfer
10000 votes to Blaine in exchange for sub
stantial republican support for Its candidates
| for mayor and comptroller. One ofthe rumors
has II that sucha deal Is designed. Another
absurd rumOr is to the effect that the republic
cans will make straight party fight, putting
up Gen. Grant as their candidate for the
mayoralty.

The Illinois democrats claim that their poll
of the state shows over 10000 republican voters
outside Of Chicago, other than Germans, who
