SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10, 1891.
POLITICAL.

Minneapolis was wildly enthusiastic
over their victory in getting The re-
publican Convention, all parties
joining 10 the rejoicing. 1t is con-
sidered most excellent thing Tor the
city and entire Northwest from a po-
litcal standpoint. 1t is believed that
the dissatisfaction among the Grahg-
ers will now he quelled.
st. Paul not to be outdone by it's
rival, Minneapolis, has issued call
for mass meeting of citizens, lrres-
pective Of party, to take formal steps
to secure for st. Paul the Democratic
National Convention.
Henry II, Hyde, the Massachu-
sets member of the Republican
National Committee, said on his re-
turn to Springfield, Mass. "It is
perfectly understood that Blaine will
be nominated practically without OPP
position, if he does not positively
decline before the Convention meets.
The Republican party wish him to
run, and no one but Blaine himself
can prevent his nomination. LII he
feels Unable to undertake the re-
sponsibilities Of the campaign, Har-
rison will be re-nominated."
The opinion is almost universal
with the Eastern Democratic and In
dependent press that the next Presi-
dental candidates of the Democratic
party will be Grover Cleveland for
the first place and Governor Boise of
Iowa for the second place.
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky says:
eff Mills of Texas is elected for the
speakership, no one will ever have
| Just cause of complaint of his demea-
nor or general course on political
questions. Referring to the "unfor-
tunate disposition in some quarters
to subordinate the question of tariff
reform to others less important to
the people and dangerous to the har-
mOny and success of the Democratic
party, Senator Carlisle says:
Upon the tariff question we are
practically united, while upon the
silver question, and perhaps upon
some others, there are wide and hon
est differences of opinion among the
members of our party which can
only be reconciled by patient deli
beration. Why shall we, when on
the eve of great national contest
when victory is almost within our
grasp, abandon or ignore the vital
issue upon which we are united and
waste our strength in fruitless con-
troversy over question which can
better be adjusted after it has been
determined what part of their own
earnings the people shall be per-
mitted to keep. The first duty of
the Democrats is to change the laws
under which the earnings of the peo-
pie are taken away from them by I'M
| just taxation for private purposes,
and whoever proposes to postpone
| the performance Of this duty, in
order to inaugurate among ourselves
war over the silver question or any
other, is not wise counselor and
would not make safe leader"
An Albany despatch to the New
York World says that the New York
Senate will stand: Democrats, 16;
Republicans, 10; Independents, /.
The casting vote Of the Lieutenant
Governor will give the organization
to the Democrats. The assembly
therefore is expected to be tie, g.
Democrats and 81 Republicans.
Judge G.. w. Bennett, A. Brown,
Judge Mcbride and Frank Cannon,
all of Utah, are elatcd over the reso.
lutions adopted by the Republican
National Committee giving recognl-
ton to the recently organized Repub-
lican party of Utah. Judge Bennett,
in commenting upon it, says: ''Here-
tofore the Gentle element of Utah
has been completed dominated by
small clique of selfish schemers call
ing themselves Liberals! They were
very much opposed to our independ
cnt movements in organizing the Re-
publican party of Utah and their
organ at Salt Lake city has been very
abusive towards the Republicans of
Utah. "
