PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

Blaine has the popular vote, if he has
not the delegates.
The Arthur boom seems TO have |
caught its second wind.
OF 754 votes cast by the Republican
students of Michigan University, few
days ago, TO decide the question of presi-
Dental preferences, Blaine received $50,
Edmunds 211, and Arthur but 65.
A peculiar feature of our Republican
institutions stands confessed in the fact
that the only prerequisite for eligi-
bility as presidential candidate is the
ability of the nominee to carry New
York.
Philadelphia Press: Cater Harrison
of Chicago, announces that he is NJ
flute to be played upon. No, indeed.
On the contrary, he is fine large from
bone, with a big brass mouthpiece and
an extra air chamber.
Dams. of the New York Sun, says, with
free trade platform presented by the
Chicago convention, "the Democrats
cannot expect to elect more than one
hundred members to the next congress"
This will give the Republicans more
than two-thIrds of the house.
A number of prominent Democrats in
Massachusetts have Withdrawn as can
dIdates for delegates from congressional
districts to the national convention be-
cause they refuse to sccede TO the terms
demanded, which REQUIRE item to vote
for Gen. Butler.
Dubuque Times: The Indianapolis
Sentinel calls upon the Democratic
towards" to 60 10 the rear-appareHtlY
torgetful of the fact that If this advice
were followed most Of its leaders would
have to take back seats. Il is not good
policy to cashier whole army at the
beginning OF an engagement.
Delegates have been chosen to the
Democratic national convention in nine
states so far, the aggregate number be-
ing 206. TIlden gets 81, Randall so and
Carlisle and Butler 90 each. For all
practical purposes, however, the whole
lot may be set down as solid for the grim
and whispering sage of Gramercy when
ever he sees ft to open the bung of that
bar'l.

One OF the finest mapie-sugar camps
in the west is situated right here In De.

started, occupied one room in the base

underground floor of large building.
A reporter, on visiting this maple grove,
found the horny handed farmer hard al

poorest sort of Cuba sugar, damp, dark
and clammy, stood In the cellar, like ex-
ecuted Cubans with their heads of.
