Nearly every county composing it has an
aspirant for the place, and some have
two. The general opinion seems to be
that twenty years in congress ought to
satisfy Mr.. Holman.
AS long as Democratic newspapers
clamor for Tilden, they must necessarily
make mental reservation of the fact
that Tilden means the old ticket. But
Hendricks is abroad and preserves an
ominOus silence, while Indiana has an
other candidate in the person of Joe
Nc Donald.-Houston (7er) Post
To run the coming Democratic cam
paign on the issue Of "Tilden's great
wrong" the Washington Republican pro-
nounces to be ''senile insanity" But
the Democracy is in desperate need of an
issue, and the "Tilden wrong" is as good
as the ''spoils'' issue, and perhaps is
more Chicago Tribune.
There seems to be wonderful increase
in the popularity of President Arthur
during the past week. The falsity of the
reports made by the New York Tribune
and Chicago Tribune has become ap-
parent, and the decrease in the Blaine
column has been accompanied with a
corresponding increase in the number of
MIR. Arthur's supporters Centralia (W.)

POSSIBLY Blaine may receive ma
jority of the votes of our delegation on
the first ballot, but you will be safe in
counting upon majority of the votes
fo- Arthur in the end. If it is necessary
to nominate him, Arthur will receive
at least forty votes from our State on the
first ballot. Col. j. Eye, Republican,

The Irish Republican National League
is the sturdy opponent of free trade.
With that weapon, even more than with
landlordism, England has driven popu
lation from Ireland and blasted the life
of the Emerald Isle. Something remains
of the linen industry-free trade has
stamped out her other manufacturers.
1t is the fixed policy of England to keep
Ireland in agricultural servitude.
If some of the busybodies who are
continually calling President Arthurs
attention to the fact that the presence of
certain delegates to the convention who
will probably vote for his nomination are
there in violation of the first rule of the
civil service commissioner these busy
bodies will cast their eyes in the direc-
ton of New York city they will observe
that their interests are being we'll taken
care of by Collector Robertson.-Ch Chicago

Gen. Butler is the favorite candidate
of the anti monopolists for the Presi-
dency. The General is quietly but ac-
lively engaged in making political
crazy quilt. If he could only get the
Democratic nomination, now! But if he
does not, he can console himself with the
reflection that there is no law against his
running for Governor of Massachusetts,
next year. Butler always has something
laid by for a rainy day.-Burlington

Mr.. Watterson is credited with the
belief that the New York delegation to
Chicago will carry Il communication
from Mr.. Tilden positively forbidding
the use of his name for the nomination.
II this is the pan, who is the individual
for whom the delegates are being ''scooped
in" through thu use of Mr.. Tilden's
name? There is rat in the meal some
where, but it is doubtful if any of the
other candidates are smart enough to
smell him out.-Bost6n Herald.
"Ohio is generally divided about equ-
ally between Sherman and Blaine. This
division is about correct, as far as Sher-
man is concerned; but five or six of the
delegates counted for Blaine are for Ar
thur. Sherman's chances for the nomi.
nation do not seem to be very good. The
nomination will 60 to the man who can
carry New York. Arthur can do that
without trouble. He would not run so
we'll in Ohio as Blaine."-W {. Cooper,
