Political Notes.


The Republican State Committee of Ken
lucky has decided to nominate candidates in
all the Congressional districts of the State.
on Thursday, and in the joint session of the
two branches the Democrats, with the aid OF
the boilers reelected several old Democratic
officials.
In the Allegany County, Pennsylvania,
Prohibition Convention, held on Saturday,
William B. Brickel and Thomas II. Babe
the Twenty second and Twenty-:hird Dis
tricts.
The Dayton (Ohio) Journal, staunch Re-
publican journal, says: .'We have great ad
miration for Blaine, but we don't want to run
serious risk of another defeat of the Repub-
lican party We know that the issue with
Mr. Blaine at the head of the ticket will be
doubtful"
If the Democrats Of Connecticut enter into
the coming canvass with strong state ticket,
and conduct it with even ordinary vigor, their
success seems TO be reasonably assured. 1t
looks now as if the Republican nomination
for Governor may be one that will aid mate
rally in securing Democratic victory.
The New York Sun, which has been boom
ing Gov. Hill as presidential candidate, now
announces: ''Mr. Hill is resolved to do moth
ing to stand in the way of Mr.. Cleveland's re-
election Besides says the Sun, che is
convinced that if Cleveland can't win in '9S
there is no other New Yorker who cam
The Democratic State Convention of New
Hampshire met on Thursday at Concord.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted ex-
pressing sympathy for Home Rule; approving
President Cleveland's administration; declar-
ing for readjustment of the tariff; favorlng
arbitration in disputes between labor and
capital; demanding a ten-hour law and weekly
payments in factories; denouncing the impor-
tation of cheap servile labor, and declaring
for iudicious license law. Thos Coggswell,
of Germantown. was nominated for Governor
OIL the first ballot.
The Republican State Convention OF Penn
sylvania at Harrisburg on Wednesday nomi-
mated Gen. James A. Beaver for Governor
and VIM. L. Davies for Lieutenant Governor.
General Beaver was the Republican candidate
at the last election and was defeated by his
Democratic opponent, Gov. Pattison. In adj
dition to the platform utterances the conven-
ton adopted an address on the tariff question,
in which the necessity protecting the Amerl-
can manufacturer in general, and those OF
Pennsylvania in particular, is urged at con-
siderable length.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is authority for
the statement that of Marshall Lot Wright S
deputy marshals who were appointed to pre-
serve the purity of the ballot-box in Ohio
during the presidential election of 1884, two
have been hanged, ten are in the penitentia-
les of various States, and number of others
are badly wanted by the police for one crime
or another. 1t will be recolected that u
number of these men were Republican roughs
imported from Kentucky, INDIANA and adj
joining States.
The probability that the Republican party
will be successful in the congressional cleo
tons this fall or in the presidential election in
1888 is exceedingly small, according to the
New York Evening Post, which has been
making close study of the horoscope of the
party of moral ideas. The indifference nfthe
party to the cause of civil-service reform, the
growing power of the Prohibitionists, and the
activity of Mr.. Blane's supporters are omens
of defeat, to which the Post, in its role of
candid friend, earnestly calls attention in the
hope of averting a repetition of the calamity
of 1884.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun on Friday last wrote as follows ::
ga Baltimore Democrat who was here to-day,
and who is always well posted, said ex-Gov.
Whyte would most certainly be the nominee
for Congress in the third district, and that
either Mr.. Rayner or Judge Fisher would be
nominated in the fourth district He did not
think the Republicans would make any NOM
ination in the third district If they made no
nomination in the fourth district, and Judge
Fisher and Mr.. Findlay opposed each other,
he thought the former would be elected. But
if Mr.. Fndlay ran as an independent candi-
date against the regular nominee, he thought
the Republicans would put up Adam King
and would certainly elect him."
