A Washington special to the New York
Herald says a secret but rapidly developing
movement is under way in Washington to
nominate ex-senator Thurman for Vice
President, and the gentlemen connected
with it includes Senators, Representatives
and administration officials. The CORES
pondent talked with several of them, and
they did not deny that such a movement
was being pushed. They say it is not the
intention to consult Mr.. Thurman, but if
sufficient strength can be developed, they
will go ahead and nominate him anyhow.
The two greatest obstacles to Mr.. Thurman's
nomination are his age and his disinclina-
ton to re-enter politics. AS for his age,
the workers in this movement declare that
to be no longer an obstacle since the pas
sage of the electoral succession bill; more
over, they say Mr. Humans health, while
not robust, is fairly good. There are very
few Democrats in the country who would
not be rejoiced to get Mr.. Thurman back in
harness.

Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, feels
a good deal better than he did a week or

Now for new light upon the Keely motor,
perhaps. Profs. Cresson and Marks and
MesSrs Naylor, Shaw and LIE Van, who
were appointed by the court to make an ex-
animation Of the motor, have entered upon
their work, but it does not appear that they
have solved the mystery yet, and unless
they get down to business in a more
thorough manner they will not solve it.
On their first visit of inspection they were
accompanied by lawyers representing both
Mr.. Keely and the gentleman who brought
suit against him. They were shown a few
things, and then the lawyers got into a
squabble. When they came to the gener-
ator, they asked Mr.. Keoly how long it
would take him to put it in order, so that
they could see it in operation, and he said
he would have it ready in about three
weeks. Then the experts adjourned and
probably went to the nearest restaurant,
where they RECALLED themselves with a sub
stantial dinner after their hard work.

man Gaines, ex-Congressmen Hooper and
John NJ. Langston are contending for the
Republican nomination for Congress, and
they are making the situation SO compli-

said that ex-senator Malone may be the

The followers of the late Roscoe Conkling
do not seem disposed to become friendly
with Mr.. Blaine, now that their leader is
dead, if one may judge from an article by
Oneida County Stalwart" in the New
York Herald. Mr.. Conklings death has
served to make this particular stalwart
more bitter than ever. After expressing
the hope that if Mr.. Blaines name is placed
before the convention it will be =epudiated
with Outpouring of indignation and con-
tempt, he says: "In honor of the memory
and for tho final vindication of Roscoe
Conkling, for whose most untimely death
the nation bitterly mourns, let us now
sweep into oblivion the name of every man
who conspired to his political downfall, or
followed him with hypocrisy, utilization
and treachery through the busy years of
his unseltish, faithful and glorious life"
When Mr.. Blaine reads this he may be dis
posed to hesitate to accept the nomination
even if it is unanimously rendered to him.

The New Orleans Times Democrat has
been discussing the ballot with the Chicago
Inter Ocean, and in the course Of the dis
russion it made the curious point that the
voting strength of the Northern States is
larger in proportion to population, than
that of tho South, because the birth rate is
greater in the South, and consequently the
humber of people under the voting age is
greater This is shown by census tables.
For instance, Kentucky and Michigan have
about the same population, yet in 1880 there
were 10000 more babies in Kentucky than
In Michigan. The Times Democrat also
observes that this explains the difficulty the
South encounters in public education.

1t is whispered about in Washington that
Senator John Sherman, whose wealth is
estimated to be anywhere between $500, 900
and 81 100000, has closed his barrel and no
longer contributes to campaign purposes.
Several appeals to him from Republicans
who thought they could help his chances
have been ignored lately, and the assump-
ton is that he has got it into his head that
be may not be nominated after all in fact,
that he is very apt to be defeated, and the
very small hole which was bored in his bar
rel has been plugged.
