 sa Taz democratic papers are discussing the probable nominees of the republican oonven- Hons and criticise' the republican press for doing 90 little of the same As the democratic press has SO little to say about the prospective democratic nomination, the republican press should % far reciprocate as to take. upS this topic of discussion for them. It isn't q bad idea, after all, to have all the criticism of can didates made by the press of the opposing party, and perhaps is hardly more trying to the gentlemen under discussion.

 IT seems to be conceded that if eWindhaln will be given thenomination for congressman from the Windham and New London district But she may not unite. There are several names urged, Col. Russell, secretary of state, being the most mentioned. Windham county has before lost the prize by the stretching forth of too many eager hands. If no Wind ham county man gets the nomination it iE likely to go to Col. Waite again, which Would not be misfortune, and the locality argu- mont is the only one heard in favorlo of a change. But the nomination can hardly go to Col. Waite again unless tendered by Wind.

Gen. Sedgwick, in addi- tion to securing the records, will look, up all the facts in the case and study it's legal features, reporting fully and as early as possible to the secretary. No further ateps are contemplated by the department until he shall have made his report. He left Stockbridge, Mass, Friday for Mexico via, Washington. His journey may be extended to the city of Mexico, but this point is left for future determination. MT. Sedgwick is 8 well known lawyer and writer. who has had special experience in international law and wasfor several years the corresponding secretary of the New York bar association. He has appeared bSfore congressional committees as the at toney of the international copyright league, and has represented the bar assos CiakiOn bofore com IniEfaes nf fhe lapiaIat1Iro,
