OF tho President and members OF III,
cabinet from their summcr vacations ho,
beer followed by a lively catherine o.
senators, Representatives, politicians
candidates in search of PATRONAGE and nc
plants in search of Office. The c;y;
service statutes have relieved the bros
sure for the places within the rance OF
the classified service. The rank and fl,
OF the old-time oflicc-scekcrs in search y,
c~lcrkships, therefore, arc no lonycr thc
plague of official life. The rct,rnipo
officials and politicians arc making nu;tc
a STIR in political circles. They i'll have
much to say concerning tue plans and
prospects of parties, having taken ad.
vantage OF their recent opportunities to
meet the leaders and mingling with tbc
people.
The Republicans appear to bc most
active in specializing upon their future
movements. The number and variety
OF the aspirants for national houors
about n year and II half hence prevented
an open field for half a dozen statesmen
II their friends. The Democrats have
not quite so much to say, as their choice
from present appearances will settle
down to a denomination Of the Prcsi-
dent. There rs some talk of n Carlisle
furry from the South, but that is q
pohhcal chestnut which has run hrouoh
Mt least three q%uadrennial nominating
conventions. a few New Workers throw
out a hint occasionally about Governor
Hill, upon the ground OF his ability TO
carry that pivotal State.
NEW Works. IMPORTANCE.
The importance of the Empire State
in the political balance is admitted eIl
around. With it's electoral vot the Re-
publicans could elect their candidate and
win back the control of the executive
branch OF the government, without the
vote of Connecticut, Indiana or New
Jersey, or II single State south ci Mason
and DiXon's line aud tho OHIO river.
They could also afford to lose California
and Oregon. The loss OF New York to
the Democratic candidate would leave
hm eight electoral votes short after car

80 an election of II President and Vice.
''rasldcnt the Republicans have seven
y practically certain Northern States
,jing Ia votes. There arc five doubt
Northern States, California, Conncc.
cut, Indiana, New Jersey and New
Lork, casting scvcnty-four votes. The
Democrats have sixteen certain Southern
States with 1913 certain electoral votes.
They perceive that the Republicans can
carry the next Presidency without New
York, but success there is Indispensable
to the Democracy. Carrying all the
doubtful States named without New
York would leave the Democratic ticket
eleven short, or carrying New York they
would still require the fifteen votes of
Indiana or the combined vote OF Con-
necticut, six, and New jersey, nine, or
Connecticut, six, and California, eight.
1t is observable in the conversation Of
these returning political prophets that
Democratic sentiment throughout the
country is becoming r]cconcilcd to the
superior sagacity of the President in his
efforts to elevate II Democratic admins
tration above the old idea that the public
offices arc the rewards Of political SER
vices, regardless Of every other consid-
