POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

Hon. J. C. BURROWS it is said. has been
chosen to present Blaines name to the conven-
ton.
GENERAL HANCOCK told the editor of the
Louisville Democrat that the Democrats would
have to get q cast iron man to be their candidate
for President in 1884
No substitutes will be allowed in the national
Republican convention for either delegates or
alternates This will shut out Rev. H. W.
Beecher, who was to have nominated Arthur,
and Emery Storrs, selected as the Logan orator
SENATOR MILLER of California says that
Blaine will receive the votes of that delegation
long as he is a candidates; but he cannot trans
fer them, and us as he is out of the race the
most of them will go to Arthur.
CHICAGO Inter Ocean: Emery A. Storrs, after
nine weeks sojourn in New York and Wash
ingtoD, has returned home He says that Pres
ident Arthuris gaining strength every day Mr..
Storrs IS keen observer of the political horizon,
NEW YORK Sun: The situation is greatly
changed from what it was year ago. The
Democracy has been overthrow in the House
of it's friends-overthrown by Mr. Watterson
and his followers; and it cannot be restored by
any such verbiago as that of the Kentucky plat
form
IT is stated that Hon. H. D. Money, congress
is not candidate for reelection, has, with others,
organized a joint stock company to publish a
Democratic newspaper in San Francisco, and
that Mr. Money, who was editor when first
elected to Congress in 1879, will be the editorin-
chief of the new enterprise.
Mr. RALPH z. HoyT, the Greenback leader
and speaker, has shown himself man of sense
by declaring that he shall vote for Republican
President, as no third party can possibly win in
this campaign, and he isn't willing to help into
power the Democratic party, with its record of
dsloyalty on the main question, and a bad record
or none at all on the other questions before the
country.
JAMES R. HENRY, Of Owen county, will be a
candidate before the Republican convention for
Treasurer Of State. Mr.. Henry has a brilliant
record as soldier, and from the very high re-
gard and esteem in which he is held by the com
munity in which he resides and by all who know
him, he merits and will no doubt receive strong
support in the convention. He is thoroughly
qualified for the discharge of the duties of the
Office.
COMMISSIONER BUTrERwoRTH, of Ohio says:
81 am disguised about these senseless stories that
Arthur can not carry Ohio. They are an insult
to the intelligence and loyalty Of that State. and
are resented by our people. Ohio will give a
good round majority for any good Republican
any of the men who have been named, be it Ar
thur. Blaine, Edmunds. Sherman, Harrison,
Gresham, Hawley or Fairchid. good, honest,
respectable, safe man on the Republican ticket
will be voted for by the Republicans of the
State. Sherman would run better than anybody
else, but there is doubt of the ability of any
of them to carry Ohio

BY a vote Of SO to Al the Acton Camp-meet-
ing Association yesterday declined the propo-
stion of the indianapolis, Cincinnati, st.
Louis & Chicago Railway Company for the
discontinuance Of excursion trains on Sunday
during the progress of camp-meeting. The
proposition was put in the plainest possible
form by the resolution of Rev. DR.. Gillett
yet without any attempt at consid-
Grafton, the Association declared against
a cessation of the running of Sunday
trains, which is not only violation of the
civil statute, but is, beside violation of the
sanctity of the day as it is held by the Chris
tian church. This fact has been repeatedly
declared by the conference having jurisdiction
of this particular camp-meeting, and by every
other conference of the Methodist Church
There can be no installing this vote. 1t is
an expression adverse to cessation of secular
labor On Sunday, and adverse to the discon-
tinuance of what is notorious dis
turbance of the peace and quiet of
meeting. When such a sentiment as found
expression in this vote is the ruling one in a
company of one hundred protested Christian
people, those who are anxious for the enforce
ment of the law against Sunday Dissertation"
may be able TO discover the absence of that
prevalent public sentiment in the face of
which no law, not even those against stealing
and murder, is strongly and consistently en-
forced. 1t is not necessary to say that the
Journal regrets deeply the action Of
the camp-meeting association. Of course,
we look at it solely from the
secular point of view. and have little or
nothing to do with the moral questions in
volved; these the church interested can and
must settle for itself. But, regarding with
the strongest disfavor the growing disposition
to an open and disturbing violation of the day
of rest provided for by the civil statute-to
say nothing of the sanetity of the day in the
eyes of the Christian and moral public-and
believing strongly in the high value of
the strictest practicable observance of Sunday
as day when labor and secular business of
all kinds should be suspended as sanitary
regulation, in the interest Of public morality
and the health of society, we keenly feel
the force of the failure of representative
Christian body to uphold the hands of the
lawful authorities, and of all others who are
conscientiOusly anxious to protect the Ameri
can Sunday from vandalism:

THE most important change of local interest
made by the methodist General Conference is
the election Of Rev. DR.. Bayliss to be editor
of the Western Christian Advocate in place
of Rev F. s. Hoyt who has been the editor
for the past twelve years, The Western is
the Indiana Methodist paper, and Dr. Bayliss
is we'll known here, having served as pastor of
Roberts Park and Trinity churches, of this
city. He is man of positive character and
untring energy, as well as ability, and will
make q number one editor.

THE last Turnover in the City Council is
scarcely worth noticing. The bond which
holds the present majority together Is only a
rope of sand, as was the link binding the late
majority. How long it may last is a question
no one can tell, for the decisive power
in the new majority is not aotuated
by principle any more than was the one in
that so summarily busted. The only practi-
cal lesson of value to be learned from the
Council revolution, or from the frequent met
amorphoses of the late State Senate, is the ut
ter nonsense of expecting valuable public serv-
ice from any political body whose control is
within the power of two OF three men. A
good working majority of one political faith
or another is absolutely essential, in our sys-
tenn of government to efficient and RESPONSE
