half of Mr.. Payne has fairly in and it is not
fined to any 'pentup Utica" Representative Ellis of
Louisiana said to-day if Louisiana left to select
the presidential candidate Henry b. Payne would be
the nominee of the next Democratic convention.
TERRE HAUTE Courier: The talk about the Demo
Gratis nominating Senator Voorhees, for Governor is
idle. 1t would however, suit the Republicans
ceedingly WELL but we give Mr.. Voorhees, credit for
too much political sagacty to undertake such
knowing as he does, how vulnerable is his record.
Mr. THURMAN is the favorite as the Democrat can
ddate for the presidency among the members of the
Texas Legislature. In a made by the Calves

made within short time Judge Folger, Secretary of
the Treasury will resign, and his successor will be

removal will follow close on the heels of Folgers re-

partisan politics.

Hendricks has also had his day, which he insists,
like little boys who do not want to go to bed has

THE Columbus Democrat demands the nominee for
thoemew Counties for the latter county this year. 1t
says;
