POLITICAL NOTES.


The prohbitionists of New York have
u minated VIM. T. Wsrdwell for Mayor oil
that city.
Bets Of Two to one were made in New
York yesterday that Cleveland would carry
that State and New Jersey.
A conference of the republican county
chairmen of the Fourth Congressional dis.
trict of Virginia was held last night at the
residence of General Malone in Petersburg.
The object of the conference was 10 discuss
the complicated condition of affairs in The
district, and to take such action as may be
thought best.
Fifteen hundred democratic camp fires
burned all over Pennsylvania last night. 1t
had been arranged that meetings for dis
cussion of the tariff should be held in every
voting district in the State. In places where
speakers could not be obtained the Presi-
dent'a message and the speeches of Speaker
Carlisle and Mr. Mills were read aud their
contents discussed informally.
The democratic national executive com.
mittee was in session iu New York yester.
day, with Messrs. Brce, Barnum, ErskiDe
NJ Phelps, Richardson, OF Iowa. Miles Ross,
of New Jersey, Herman Oelrchs, Of New
York, J :. Barbour, of Virginia, and Sera
tor A. p. German in attendance. This was
the regular monthly meeting of the commit
tee to further Campaign work. They ad.
journed until to-day, when MIR. Sewell will
be present, thus making up full attend
ance OF the committee.
The democratic convention to nominate
county congressional and senatorial tickets
met in Philadelphia yesterday. John 8.
Davis was nominated for city treasurer and
Robert s. Pattison for register OF Wills.
Judges Hare, Thayer, Ashman and Penrose
were renominated without opposition. In
the third district Samuel ]. Randall was re.
nominated for Congress, and resolution
passed opposing the increase of the surplus
in the treasury aud recommending such a
revision Of the tariff laws IS will prevent the
growth of this surplus without iniuring the
rights OF American labor.
Senator Daniel expresses himself ss very
confident OF democratic success in Virginia.
both congressional and presidential. and it
would seem from conversation with others
of this State that the Senator's views are
fortified by the opinions of those fresh from
the scene of republican discussions. The
break between Malone and Lsngston is
even more bitter than between the General
and Mr. Wise, and LaDgston is credited
with saying that he would, next 10 himself,
prefer to see Mr.. Venable elected. Mr.. Ven
able, in addition 10 the strength derived
from divided opposition, has personal
influence aud popularity which would make
him a formidable candidate under almost
any circumstances.

A Terrible Story orsuffering.

WINNIPEG Man, Sept 2S-A terrible

Chippewyans, at almost all points where
there are missions or trading posts, would
certainly have starved to death but for the

at those places. Scores of families, having
