POLITICAL NOTES.


IT 10 considered that anti-Cisvsland dele
CATION would have been sent from New Jersey il
there had been any show for Governor Hill
GEN. F. E. SPINNER, the venerable Treas
urer of the United States, thinks Depew and
Harrison would mako the best Republican
ticket
ed il any party in any State has a more thor
ough and effective organization than the Indiana
Republicans.
PHILADELPHIA Press: There are now three
distinct and separate political parties in Indiana.
namely: The Republicans, the Democrats and
Joseph E. Melon aid.
PHILADELPHIA Press: There 10 real boom
for Mayor Hewitt. Of New York. for Presidents.
but no Irish flag floats over it. It will be run,
not on the European, but on the American plan.
CINcINNATI Commercial Gazette: II there is
. formidable opponent to Sherman we presume
his name is Harrison. and there are reasons
for that on the surface, il people will look at
them.
NEW YORK World: There seems to be raft
of Democrats in Indiana and Ohio who do not
want Governor Gray on the ticket with Clsve-
land. They are the friends of ex Senator
Mcdonald.
PHILADELPHIA Press: The Endorsement OF
Cleveland by the New Hampshire Democrats
possesses just about as much significance as We
should attach to an Endorsement Of Gresham by
the Texas Republicans.
OMAHA Republican: The Chicago Tribune in
. long article points out Judge Gresham's ele-
meats of strength as a candidate. A very short
article would tell the story Of his chief element
OF weakness. He 10 supported by the Tribune.
WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS says: II do not
believe Mr.. Blaine will write another letter Of
defamation, or anything that can be construed
as such. There 10 20 reason why he should, for
his own personal wishes sufficiently indicated
by what he has already said"
NATIONAL Republican: The knowing ones say
that at recent conference of the Democratic
chiefs it was decided that it would be unwiss TO
permit David Bennett. Hill to make the speech
at the ST. Louis convention placing Grover
Cleveland in nomination for the presidency.
BOSTON Advertiser: In circles friendly to Mr..
Baine's nomination for President We find that
feeling exists that, before the convention meets,
he will, in unequivocal terms, decline the nomi-
nation. That il the general understanding in
this vicinity among the best-informed Repub-
.licans.
CHICAGO Inter Ocean: If the Chicago Trib-
une really desires judge Gresham's nomination,
why does it continually prejudice his chief in
terests by assaulting every other caudidatef It
is doing and has done more &c prejudice Gresh-
ANS claims than all the open enemies OF Judge
Gresham combined.
ACCORDING to the Iowa State Register. ex
Senator Mcdonald, Of Indiana, has not been
driven from the political field in that State by
any means-only just resting behind the fence,
as it were. for his second wind; ''and," says the
Register significantly, ''the men who snubbed
him will find no signs of his disappearance"
GOVERNOR ALGER, to New York reporter:
Somebody ought to correct the impression here
in the East that the Northwest Is not in
love with the Republican party on the tariff is
sue. Every State out there will cast its electoral
vote as it did in 1884, aud favors tariff revision
by the friends OF protection, and not by its
enemies"
