the Twenty ninth Senate District.
ROCHESTER,. Aug. 4.-The Republican leaders
moved shrewdly in calling their convention In
Rochester. Here Is to he made the rrettlest
and. possibly. the closest political fight in the
State. The Twenty-ninth Senate district is
usually strongly Republican. Senator Nc
Naughton has twice carried it. and the last tne
against popular candidate on whom Repub-
leans seemed to be united As well as they ever
can be on anybody. This year it is no secret
that ex- Mayor Parsons Is to be the Republican
nominee. An effort will DO made to secure the
support OF the liquor interests. which were
uniformly with him as Mayor. and which
pretty solidly supported him last fall when lie
ran for tho Assembly. II Rochester alone
elected the Senator Mr.. Parsonss chances
would be better than they arc. Rochester has
almost enough people to emilio 1t to a Senator.
and had MIR. Parsons's party allowed last win
ter q new census and apportionment his
chances OF success would now be less couded
than they are.
Orleans county and the towns OF Monroe ara
usually moro certainly Republican than is the
city. But the country districts have never
been favorable TO tho OK Mayor. and are not
likely TO be now. On several occasions when
city delegations have favored his nomination

A History that Mr.. Ingalls, Should Write.

The Hon. JOHN JAMES INGALLS, was found
by a reporter in Chicago tho other day, but
declined to talk about politics. His refusal
was distinct loss to the gayety Of nations.
for there arc few men who can speak about
politics more concrctely and vigorously
than Mr.. INGALLS,. II have been recently

to the yearning reporter; land whatever I
might say OF forceful nature would be set

do not wish to be accused OF them" Mr..
INGALLS, Is altogether too careful and too

have been moro endurabe. II lie had had to
yield his place in the Senate to shrewd
politician, to man OF eminence and known
force, tho defeat would have been casier
But 1t cannot have been pleasant to DO

and without a collar the doctrine that 2x2=

to Europe on Aug. %. Before he sails lie
might give his personal impressions OF the
Alliance movement In Kansas. II he will
not do 30 from the platform. he might at
least write an essay on the subject. THE

Liberia and the Negroes.

Mr. BENJAMIN G ASTON, a citizen OF Liberia,
who was formerly slave In Georgia, Is now
travelling through the South as the agent OF
the Liberia Emigration Company for the
purpose of stirring up the negroes to trans.
fer themselves to the African republic. lie
says that his mission Is sanctioned by the
Iiberian President and supported by the
Liberian Legislature; and that company Of
English steamship owners stands ready to
transport the emigian,s to Africa Mt mod
crate price. Hn hopes, too. that our own
Government will support the movement
with a liberal appropriation as the only fea.
sible method of settling the negro problem.
According to Mr.. CASTOR, the Southern
negroes are enthusiastic over the scheme

fesses to believe, would emigrate II they
had the opportunity" for In Liberia they
would find congenial climate, fertile soil,
and an opportunity to improve their social
condition as il Is not possible for them TO do
here. All that Is necessary to bring about
an exodus to Africa on a scale So vast, no
declares, is to provide the onligrants with the
passage money. so eager are they to go. IT,
therefore, the Southern whites want to get
rid OF the negroes. here. proclaims Mr..
CASTOR Is the way to do 1t. Congress has
only to pass some such bill as that intro

the subject for whom the scheme OF Senator
BUTLER was proposed it received little or
no favor among them. They did not want

seventy years past. and yet there are fewer
