POLITICAL NOTES.

RICHMOND State: The Democratic party will
elect John G.. Carlisle President in 1892.
DETROIT Tribune: The Rhode Island election
paralyzed the Eastern freetraders who had been
led to believe that Little Rhody had been well
Condemned.
The dissatisfaction of the Democrats with the
course of Congressman Foran makes it highly
probable that the Republicans will recover the
Twenty first Ohio district this fall.
SIX State elections occur this year prior to the
presidential elections Louisiana. April IL; Ala
bama, Aug. g. Arkansas, Sept 8; Vermont, Sept.
A. Maine, Sept. 10; Georgia, Oct 3.
WITH the abandonment of the Democra tic
gerrymandering scheme in Maryland the Re-
publican prospects or increasing the party's
gressional delegation from that State has i'm
proved.
LOUISVILLE Commercial: When the Indiana
Democrats present Grays name to the national
convention they should accompany the presen-
tation with illustrated diagram and a letter
of Recommendation from some well-known and
reliable citizen.
GOVERNOR ALGER own up. 'sI hate cow
ard, was his rejoinder to inquisitive report
er; ~ am a candidate. After what my friends
have done think should be doing both them
and myself an injustice to deny my candidacy
am in the field, and to stay: but shall make
no personal efforts to capture votes"
SAM JONES, the evangelist, dropped from re-
ligion into politics the other day long enough to
say: while Cleveland will be elected. think
the Republican has more advanced ideas than
the Democratic party. Especially is this the
in the North. where the party is made up
of the more intelligent classes. The Northern
Democrats are no good; they are all lot of
scalawags; they don't know what they want, and
never did. II lived In the North would be a
Republican myself"
THE Washington Capital alarms itself with
the following statement: 'fMr. Blaine has en-
gagged his steamer passage for the United States
and viii sail on the 10th of June. The conven-
zion at Chicago will meet on the 18th of June
and viii nominate Mr. Blaine, who will at this
time be about midway across the atlantic. His
sailing three days before the convention meets
him and enable his friends to rush his nomina-
ton through the convention without any ques-
ton as to whether he will accept It,"
Boston Journal: The identification ef the
Democratic party in Indiana with the convicted
tally -sheet forgers in Indian apolis is sngularly
complete VIM. II. English said to Gov after
his conviction, 1.-THE whole Democratic party is
st your back" Governor Gray and Senator
Mcdonald eulogized the convicted men at
public meeting, and when William Henderson
went to Washington 20 secure the prosecution
of the indicted men he learned that Bynum,
Voorhees, and Mcdonald had all solicited of the
Attorney general a dismissal of the case.
SENATOR ALDRIcH is not afraid of the effect
of the extension of the suffrage in Rhode Island.
He is about as much pleased with the constitu-
tional anne ndment as with any other feature of
the late election. He looks at the matter in this
way: There only 3,400 naturalized foreign
ers in the State. It is the foreign element that
the extension of the franchise affects. There
are %, 600 unnaturalzed foreigners. 1t will take
come time for them all to become citizens Some
of them have not besn in the State long enough
and others cannot take out papers for various
reasons. Of the %, 600 there 10000 Irish
and 900 English, Italian. Canadian and
French. The Republican party is quite as likely
to get the ID. 900 as the Dem ocratic party is to
get the 10000. We carry the State under
the new Constitution as surely now"
