OVERWHELMING

Under the caption of "Free Hints
for Both PARTIES" Col. Alex. Mcclure
in the Daily Times of Philadelphia
speaks thus edi~torially:
How the republicans may elect the
next president-Select a candidate who
can carry New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut.
How the democrats may elect the next
president-Select a candidate who can
carry New York, New Jersey and Con-
nscticut.
The candidate of either party who
can carry New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut-three states reasonably
certain 10 vote one way this year-can
carry Indiana with chances for Ohio II
a democrat, and with Ohio certain If a
republican.
The only vital question for either
party to decide is-Who can carry New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut?
That problem solved, solves the prob
lem of the next presidency.
If the republicans shall have the yam
tage ground in the three states named,
they will have a good chance TO break
the solid solid south, and TO recapture
the lost Pacific states, II the demo
Gratis shall have the vantage ground In
the three pivotal states, they will hold
the south stif as steelyards, hold Cali
fornla and Nevada and give a lively
wrestlo for Oregon and Colorado.

THE onIoAGo CONVENTIONS.

In the matter of securing national
conventions, this year, Chicago has
been extremely fortunate. The latest
of these called is the Wool Growers OF
the United States, which is to assemble
on May 7th. According to the issued
call, its leading objects are "the adop-
tion of measures calculated to dis
seminate correct information relating
to the magnitude, merits and import
ance of sheep ~husbandry; to effect such
an organization throughout the Union
as will enable the 1,020,0 600 nock-mas-
ters to exercise through the ballot-box
the influence and power which belong
to their numbers and the interests
they represent, to obtain for them and
their business hereafter that considera-
tion and respect in the halls Of con-
gress that Is so justly merited, and
thereby to secure, If possible, such
reasonable, just and equal protection
as may be awarded TO other great
and equally important industries"
The Industrial convention called for
May 81 has objects of a business char
acter rather than political. 1t is X
pected, however, TO give expression to
the protectionist sentiment of the pro-
ducing classes, irrespective of party,
but more particularly ON the part of
those engaged in the industries,
which, from their recent Inauguration,
have most need of considerable legisla-
ton. The republican national conven-
tion will follow on June 3 and the
democratic on July 8. The result OF
the last named'sdeliberation tends most
largely to interest the people of the
country who are, and long have been,
signing for a change in the political
complexion of our national govern
ment. With this secured, greater pros.
perity will ensue and our republic will
thereby secure a greater and q grander
status among the other nations of the
civilized world.

1t seems as though the reform club
Of Boston, which announces itself as
in favor of civil service reform, reduc-
ton of revenues and cessation of silver
coinage, has sounded the slogan for a
conference of liberal reformers, without
distinction of party, to be held in New
York city next May, to place in nomi-
nation, If deemed expedient, candidates
for the presidency, in full sympathy
with its views, II the same be deemed
expedient. This would seem to be a
sort OF a crank convention; n of the
kind gotten up with the view Of crea-
ting discord within the ranks Of one or
the other Of the old parties. 1t will not
mislead many democrats.

Counting chickens before they are
Matched is decidedly ~precarious, so far
as the certainty of final results is n
cerned. and the same may be casually
observed regarding the periodic booms
recently created in behalf of certain
presidential aspirants by their over
Jealous supporters, who find no difficult
ty in figuring up popular majorities for
them in various states of the union
Already, in-this peculiar manner the
personal followers of Arthur, Blaine,
Logan and Lincoln have assigned each
and all of them the same Identical
states with the same claimed MAORI
ties, all based upon nothing but the
personal preference of those who have
been sounded as to their inclinations in
behalf of these stately gentlemen, each
of whom is decidedly willing, if not ex-
tremely anxious, to warm the executive
chair at the national capital for the
brief period Of four consecutive years,
dating from March 5, 1885. In their
zeal some Of these personal and parti-
san patriots have altogether lost sight
of the pertinent fact that there is an
other important factor in the field out
side of their W party, to wit: the
democracy, and its candidates. In
their exuberant generosity and ego
tistical forgetfulness, these slate-mak-
ers and state-breakers have ~awkwardly
and audaciously assigned democratic
constituencies and states to some fac
tionai favorite of the ~perturbed radical
roost. These fine lgurative gentlemen
now so enthusiastic, will ascertain that
when the presidential bird is Matched
out, he'll prove to be a handsome,
hearty, democratic rooster, comb, spurs,
quilts, pin feathers, fine plumage and
all. In the meantime, let them go as
siduously ahead with their patent par
tisan incubator, setting their choice
fractional eggs, only to find out ulti-
mately that they do not contain the
right kind of germ for Matching pur-
poses. At the end Of the campaign
there will be left over a superfluity of
this kind of spoiled political hen fruit
with which the fractional leaders Of the
radical funeral procession can pelt each
other to their hearts' content.

A NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

The telegraphic page of THE LEADER
this morning gives forth the announce
ment that Hon. John @. Perry, an able
jurist of New York, has been nomi-
mated for the chief ~justiceship of the
territory of Wyoming, the position
which has been held during the past
four years by Judge Sener. To many
persons in u midst, the news OF the
change will not Unexpectedly reach
their ears, whilst others, perchance,
may be unprepared for it at this par
ticular time. The reputation of the
new appointee, who will undoubtedly
be speedily confirmed, is of a high Or

acquisition is one of which the people
of u territory may unquestionably
feel decidedly proud.

A wonderful BELL In n Japanese Tenn
Japan Cor. Philadelphia Press.

Japan Cor. Philadelphia Press
To Osaka, we travelled near the shore of the
inland seas, with a range of mountains not
far distant ON the left. The railroad Ia sub
sequently built and equipped in frst-class
style. Leaving the bay at Osaka the road
pursued a northerly course to Kioto, most Of
the way on high embankments built up
through rice plantations, but occasionally
passing through dense bamboo thickets.
The temples here are few of them painted,
and though, in some cases, furnished with
gorgeous paraphernalia, are not to be con-
pared with those of Nikko and Shiba. Their
distinguishing feature is the great bell, which
swings In a monster wooden belfry, half way
up the hillside, back OF the buildings proper.
This bell Is a huge bronze cup, with nearly
I perpendicular sides and a fat crown, which,
Like all other Japanese bells, is sounded by
means of a huge beam, kept in place by
ropes, but when occasion requires brought
against the rim OF the bell with great
force. 1t requires twelve coolies to
manipulate this beam. Formerly 1t was

mold in the year 1888, SO that it is just 25O
years old now. l forget how much gold
entered into its composition, but I nave a
strong conviction that it was 1900 pounds

rim up, this gold is all in the crown, but
time has entirely dimned any luster which II
may have lent to the alloy. Only a miracle
OF casting could have ended in such a mag.

DAKoTArs DIGnEssIoNs.

The people Of Dakota are greatly
perturbed over the question of prospec-
tive state admission. The northern
portion claims more wealth and more
population within Its precincts, than
the southern, yet It seems that, not
w~ithstanding, the existence OF these
important factors, it desires to retain
the old name, whilst the north is
equally DESTROYS of appropriating the
same. A variety of names have been
suggested. Among them are Pembina,
Mandan, Lincoln, and Isabella-the
latter In honor OF the memory Of that

Columbus owed his success in part, and
whose efforts have never been ittingly

sirous Of coming into 1.-THE Union as a
separate state. while the south is not
really averse thereto In the same dir
ection. But it is probably that whilst
the two sections of the territory are
jarring and wrangling over the matter.

to bolt the doors against both OF them

prospects have improved during the past
