POLITICAL NOTES.

DETROIT Tribune: The way for Democracy to
vindicate Voorhees, il to nominate him for Vice
president
MILWAUKEE Sentinel: It il evident that the
delegates from this State to tho Republican
National convention will be solid for Governor
Rusk. That appears to be the general senti-
ment Of the local conventions throughout the
State.
A LARGER white element WAS present ct she
recent Texas Republican convention than in any
similar gathering in the State for many years;
and number Of its delegates sent thence to
Chicago are men Of wealth, as we'll OF force and
character.
PHILADELPHIA Press: Just now the free
trade organs are exulting over the fact that
William H. BarEum will not be chairman of the
National Democratic committee this year. The
chances are that after the November election
they will DO deploring it.
PRIVATE "JoE" FIFER 10 not the only soldier
on the Illinois Republican State tickes this year.
General Charles W. Pavey, nominated for
Auditor, is veteran, and a friend of Logan.
The Germans, too have q representative on the
ticket in Charles Becker, nominee for Treasurer.
CHICAGO Journal: The Democratic conyen-
tions of the counties of Grundy, Edgar and
Hamilton on Saturday adopted . resolution
booming Cleveland and Black for the presi-
Dental ticket, and this appears to be the gen.
. eral Democratic sentiment throughout thes
State.
NEW YORK Press: There is no evidence that
Mr.. Blaine's intimate friends have heard any
thing from him in contradiction reversal Of
his Florence letter, written to show his inten-
ton not to subject his estimable wife to the
strain of another campaign or low and brutal
Democratic personalities
CHICAGO News: Governor Gray and the Indi-
ana White Caps would not look we'll on the same
ticket with Grover Cleveland. If the ambitious
Governor of Hooserdom wants to become q
person of national Importance he will have to
contrive some method Of snuffing out the masked
rufians who are banded together for unlawful
purposes in his own State. He will have to hur-
~ mp about it, too.
SAMUEL w. ALLERToN, q leading Republican
of Chicago. in letter to the New York Tribune
says: "There 10 general feeling that if the
great State OF New York would come to the
next Republican convention solid to . man for
the Hon. Chauncey M Depew and General Har-
rison, of Indiana. we would bury the Demo
Gratis with their free-trade theories. So
put.up your banner for Depew and Harrison
and the great West will respond to q man.
w. E. CURTIS: No Ohio man will present the
name of John Sherman to tho Chicago conven-
ton, but either Senator Hoar or Representative
Long. Of Massachusetts,, or ex-senator Warner
Miller, Of New York, will be selected for this
duty. 1t is understood that Mr. Sherman de.
sires MIR. Miller to be the candidate for the
Vice presidency in case he lShermaul is nom
mated for the first place, but it 10 more than
probable that Miller will be selected as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor of New York
1t the convention which meets next week.
| CHAIRMAN VIM. H. BARNuM. of the Demo
cratic national committee, has made the posi-
tive statement that he would not remain at the
head Of the national committee in the coming
campaign Mr.. Barnum said he did not intend
to resign, but he simply would not be candi-
date for reelection when the new national com
mittee Was formed BY the ST Louis convention.
Mr.. Barnum says he has had glory enough in
under his management. and he is now willing te
give some other fellow chance.
WASHINGTON Letter: On Thursday was talk
ing with Senator Ingalls, about other subjects
and asked him what. il any, the immediate re
suit of the controversy had been. 1T has in
creased my mail very materially he said, ''and
lam In receipt of . very large number Of tele
! grams of congratulstiou. The Republicans oil
Indiana passed resolutions of congratulation
| and notified me that they had done 90. have
received many congrasulatory telegrams from
men of political distinction but a they may b
| considered as Of Q somewhat personal nature.
would not care to say who these gentlemen are
think, said the Senator, a. soft, sweet smile
stole over his face, ''that We have an Issue now
| for the coming campaign-at least for she cam
| paign In Indiana"
