THE DAILY ARGUS.
POLITICAL POINTS .

To seek To be II marplot aud mischief
maker Is net high ambition, even in Mr..
Blaine.
The advice of the Mississippi democrats
10 Grover Cleveland is in etfe,t; Pat
Money in thy cabinet.
The democrats Of Pennsylvania are still
ION deck" The state committee has re-
solved to call convention for the Goth of
August.
The next senate Will contain eleven
members who have been transferred from
the lower TO the upper house Of congress
dnring the last four years
The effort of the liquor dealers to get
back the tax they have paid in OHIO under
the Scott law is to be no easy matter, al
most every county having taken measures
to resist its repayment.
William NJ. Eyarts is the thirty sixth
man elected to the United States senate
from New York. 10 senator has repre-
scented that state throughout three full
consecutive senatorial terms.
A strong sentiment is said TO exist
among the members elected to tue next
congress favorable to Il constitutional
amendment extending the presidential
term to six years and providing pension
for retiring presidents.
4 fact not generally known IS that the
legislatures of but seven states hold an
nual sessions. These seven are Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey, South Carolina and
Louisiana. The legislatures of all the
rest meet biennially.
Gen. RoseCraus makes no bones, as
the boys say, about his candidacy for the
place now held by Secretary Lincoln, "a
think ought to be appointed secretary
of war says he; 4 want the Office, the
people want me there, and my experience
fits me for it,
One of the gentlemen holding iuti'
mate associations with democratic lead
ers, who are now disseminating iDfOr
nation about the cabinet informs the
Cincinnati Enquirer that Cleveland will
select mo decayed and worn ont pO,
litical hacks" for secretaries.
A sentiment is growing in Iowa tina
unless the prohibitory law Can be en-,
forced 1t had better be repealed. Eve,
the Des Moines Register, which earnest,
advocated the adoption of the prcsen
law, docs not favor keeping 1t on thu
statute books if it proves a failure.
Senator John Sherman is now mention
ed as the most available republican can
didate for governor Of Ohio at the mex
election. As his term in the senate ex'
pres in 1887 he will be expected TO carry
a Legislature which would be republican
and insure his reelection as his own sue
ceSsor
Bismarck is said TO be worth only $500
600, although he has been in politics al
his life. German politics, it wou'd ap
pear, does not pay like the American ar
ticle. 1t is probably not an idle boast +
say that the politics of this great and fire
republic is the most profitable in III
world.
Nothing reliable has been made puHIi
concerning Mr.. Cleveland's intentions rc
garding his cabinet, but the interestn
information is vouchsafed that he like
plain cooking best, that unGduIleratg
ice water is not his tavorite dinner bey
erage if there is any lager in reacn tia
he is not an owl ike President Ar}Eu
but uses the night fol. sleeping.

is orc strictly prohibiting the letting ouG ot

Now the Work goes Brayely on.

If the indications furnished of zeal for
the cause can be estimated by the manner
in which the friends of the SPECTATOR are
sending in permanent and campaign SUBJ
scribers, then the work of electing our
ticket has commenced in good earnest.
The press is the chief medium in reaching
the intelligence of the voter, and furnish
ing him an opportunity to consider care
fully the situation. Disseminate good, ac-
curate, and substantial reading matter.
The SPECTATOR claims no particular merits
above others of its fraternity, but it has
proper sense of its obligations, and
realizes the full scope of its purposes in
this, as it has in all other contests before
the people. We have our chosen standard
bearers able, true and tried. The
bugle notes are sounding. The rally has
commenced. We are in for victory. Let
US push the work by every proper means
at our command, and with other efforts
let the SPECTATOR have its place in every
house and enjoy its full share of the joy as
it has to bear its cheerfully labors
of the campaign.
