General Political Notes.

Ths Republicans in the oily yesterday
looked about as gloomy as the weather.
and while they did not shed as many team
as Dame Nature, still they kicked because
ths Democrats who controlled the
Weather at Washington didn't have II
clear I'D and let Old Sol come out long
enough to dry up some of the mud on tint
st,eets. However the weather clerk do
take compassion on them, and about si1
O'Clock he shut off the street spIinkier ana
turned on moderately cool tl,st, tha'
had the efftc. Of making it at least little
nlsassuter for the much talked Of bal
rolling demonstration.
Mejor Brockett had several men at woIS
Yesterday on Chsplaine street, just heio"
Seventeenth, putting the ball together
and il was on exhb. ton all afternoon
many Republican and others going down
to see it. There was report in cirtula

credit for their efforts. :.
The big ball was the main attraction II
