Wednesday, August II, 1889.
Some of the latest political gossip is
burdened with scheme to put Senator
Quay forward as a candidate for presi-
dent in 1892. What is the matter with
Harrison?
Republicans are confident of carrying
Virginia this fall and SO express them.
selves, They have come SO near doing
it in the last few elections that it would
not be more than might be expected il
they succeeded.
A state election was held in Kentucky
last week and of course victory went
with the democrats. 1t would have
been funny if 1t didn't, Notwithstanding
Watterson's woeful dread Of defeat.
Kentucky isn't built a republican state,
and success there would be like demo-
cratic success in Minnesota, quite inn
probable.
Nearly every city of any size IN the
United States has seen fit to ask why it
wouldn't be proper place for holding
the centennial celebration in 1892. To
US there is but one proper place and
that is Washington, the capital of the
country. But just at present that city
is receiving but small share of boom
ing, and half the talking is being done
by New York and Chicago, neither of
which should have it.
The rumor that Noble, of the interior
department, will be asked to leave the
cabinet to accept position on the SUI
preme bench is most likely, like all
cabinet rumors, without foundation.
And yet if he should we cannot criticise
the presidents Judgment in the least.
Noble has won the reputation Of being
a very able cabinet officer and in all
probability would fill a seat in the SUI
preme court with equal ability. With
Gresham and Cooley out of the question,
Noble would strike us quite favorably.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
penned reply to the letter of the pres
ident Of the telegraph company in
which he gave Messrs. Gould and
Greene some pretty rough knocks.
These gentlemen may be running a
big business and may know all about it,
but before they get through with Wan
amaker they will find him to be bust
ness man himself of many years and
long experience, and when he asks for
reduced rates he expects to get them
or know good reason why.
Elections will be held this fall in the
following states: Montana, Washing
ton, the Dakotas, Iowa, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Virginia. In some Of these, here
tofore democratic, it looks as though
the republicans would make astonish-
ing inroads, and the democrats in Vir-
ginia especially may expect surprises.
The tide of republica n success has not
ceased to roll on, and the party is
stronger now than ever.
III If Washburn and Davis don't unite
on somebody for collector of revenue
pretty soon, so many candidates will
have developed into prominence that
they will find it as difficult to select
later5onIas from the two who have
been in the field from the start. Every
twist and turn of the senators brings to
the surface some new applicant for the
position, always a compromise candi-
date and q friend of both, but the APP
pointment seems as far off as ever.
Again we express the wish that from
the melee, Davis and his man Dona-
hover may come forth winners.
The work Of the Sioux commissioners
in opening the Indian Reservations has
at length been successfully concluded.
Patience and hard work have overcome
the most obstinate Of the Indians and,
though at times the result appeared
doubtful, the enduring energy Of the
