Political Notes.

Hon. James G. Blaine is to be brought from

Keystone State from defeat. He will speak
at Philadelphia, October 9th.
The total vote of Arkansas in the recent

jority, $1,000. The Legislature stands /:
House, Democrats, 81; Republicans and
"Wheelers," %; Senate, q Democrats, 5 Re-
publicans and "Wheelers.h
Semi official returns from every town in
Maine give the following as the result of the
election in that State last Monday week for
Governor: Bodwell, Rep, 68,870; Edwards,
Dem, Sc, 1856; Clark, prohibitionist, 1872
scattering, 20; total, 128, 918; Bodwell' S pln-
rality, 12,714; Bodweii's majority, 8,842.
Compared with the gubernatorial election of
1884, the returns show that the Republican
vote fell off 9,94S, while the Democratic vote
fell off only 1887. The republican vote de-
creased II per cent; the Democratic vote
only per cent The growth of the prohibit
ZIONIST vote in Maine since there began to be
a distinctive prohibitionist party in that State
is exhibited as follows: In 1880, Dow for
Governor, SO; in 1882, Eustis for Governor,
395; in 1884, Eustis for Governor, 100; in

For extraordinary blo,oing it is hard to
tell which is entitled to the palm, the Bal
timore american, or the New York World;
the one about its Charleston fund, and the
other about its circulation and the number
of its advertisements No blowing cave
can compare with either. To make room
for the americans Charleston fund, which
is piling up towards the stars, if it contin-
ues to accumulate, the Milky Way will
have to be removed, and probably Orion,
the Great and Little Bear, and several other
consultations. AS to the circulation of
the World, look out for an affidavit which
shall exhaust the number of the stars in
the armament, the drops in the ocean, the
sands upon the seashore, and the leaves in
the forest, to supply the computation.

In another column is published table
showing the rate of taxation in the counties
of Maryland for county purposes for the
year 1886. Carroll, as usual, has thelowest
rate. The rates in other counties range
from fifteen to seventy-one cents higher.
The highest levy is in Calvert, Republi-
can county. In Charles and Garrett, both
under Republican control, the rate rs over
dollar on the 500. If Congressman
Shaw is one of the Democratic bosses here,
he has bossed to the financial advantage of
the people. Keep him in Congress and he
will endeavor to "boss" there so as to
tighten the burdens imposed by the national
government. The people pay more to
support the national government than they
do for local, and there are many extrava-
gances and abuses in federal affairs that
ought to be corrected.

Revival of Trade.

The New York correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, writing under date of September
Is, says:
The Republican party went out of power in
period of financial and industrial dep-es-
sion. In the second year of Democratic
administration a revival of business has
started that bids fair to be permanent. All
the Republican prophecies of the commercial
depression sure to follow Democratic rule
| have failed of ful6lment. Free trade has not
been established "to blast the industries of
the country" The financial policy of Dem
ocratic administration has not precipitated a
panic, and, moreover, the "rebel debt has
not been paid. On the contrary, business
'sboom" seems to be sweeping across the
\ country. There is every prospect that the
next presidential election will be contested
in season of great prosperity. 1t may be
"Cleveland's luck, but wrightly or wrongly,
his administration will get the credit for the
revival in business. In nearly every trade the
report is the same-increased activity and
larger profits. There is wider distribution
of merchandise and uniform tendency to-
ward higher prices. The dry goods trade has
been undergoing season of marked activity;
wool continues to advance; cotton goods are
in close demand; iron is strong and the fur
naces are blazing in every direction coal is
in the most active demand and prices are adj
vancing; the railroads are enjoying season
of great activity, every car is being pressed
into service, and rates are higher; the railroad
earnings in August were 10 per cent. more
than in the same month last year; there is
wider circulation of money; the bank clear
ances of the 80 largest cities were 20 per
cent. greater this week than in the correspon-
ing week last year; the ''boom'' has struck
coffee, the market for which has lain dormant
for SO long; stocks are becoming more active;
the Reading controversy has been settled, and
one by one the disturbing elements in the
speculative situation are being removed, and
the bulls are ON top of the market, where they
say they intend to remain. Grain is likely to
be the next to experience the revival of bust
ness; the real estate market is in good shape;
an d the crops promise plenty and to spare,
with increased demand at home and abroad.
The Republican orators can no longer croak
disaster as the consequence of Democratic
rule.

by Gen. Villacampa, attempted in Madrid on
Sunday the revolution of which there have
been so many predictions since the death Of

been ill-planned, and to have met with little
response from the people. After futile efforts
to gain possession of arsenals and points Of
