POLITICAL NOTES.

A sensation was created in Connecticut
last week by the withdrawal of DR.. L. D.
| Warner from the republican electoral tick.
ct on the ground that he cannot stand the
Mckinley act. Mr.. Warner is the largest
corset manufacturer in the United States
and says the existing tariff hurts his bust
ness. Too much ''protection' sometimes
sickens the patient. 1t IS like opium.
When you once get under it's stimulus you
continually want more and more of it till
the point is reached where you wish you
had never tasted it.
Maj. John r. Dezendorf has announced
himself as Republican candidate for con-
gress in the I'd district, and the Republican
city executive committee of Norfolk has
endorsed Geo. E. Bowden for the same
place. P. c. Corrigan, colored, Will also
be candidate as the outcome of the con-
ference of colored men from various Sec
lions Of the district. Mr.. Dezendorf has
received the endorsement of the National
Congressional Committee.
1t is said that with the exception of the
president Of the tribunal, Judge Lunsford
J.. Lewis, it is understood that all of the
members Of the Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals who vote will this year give their
support to Cleveland. Those close to Judge
Fauntleroy say that that gentleman has
not voted in a presidential contest since
1880, when he cast his ballot for Hancock.
S. Y. Gillian, the Republican nominee
for congress in the fourth district OF Vir-
ginia, has withdrawn from the contest, and
has issued circular letter saying he with
draws in Difference to the advice of leading
Republicans connected with the admins
tration at Washington, and throwing upon
them the responsibility for whatever may
| flow from it.
The Wisconsin legislature which was
called together to form a new apportion-
ment bill in place Of the one set aside by
the Supreme Court of that State, have COM
pleted their work. The new law gives the
Democrats a majority of IA OF Is on joint
ballot in the legislature.
The County Democracy in New York
have decided to withdraw their local ticket
in opposition to Tammany. There were
twenty members Of the committee of thir.
ty present, and the vote was eleven fol-
withdrawal and nine against it.
The latest political combine is that OF
the republicans and third party people in
| Virginia. A dispatch from democratic
headquarters at charlottesville says the
republicans have agreed to print the names
of the third-party candidates for Congress
upon their electoral tickets and there will
practically be no third party electoral tick
cts. This combine is not likely 10 amount
to much. The democrats of Virginia are
marching straight to victory and will grind
to powder this political makeshift. 1t will
hardly take the democrats in the third par
ty in Virginia long to decide between the
Cleveland and Harrison electoral tickets
between tariff reform and free elections on
the one hand and the high tariff and force
bill on the other.
James D. Patton. Chairman of the Dem.
ocratic City Committee of Richmond, has
received a letter from Senator Daniel IL
which he says that there is no doubt that
Grover Cleveland will he the next President
of the United States. Senator Daniel spent
several days last week at Democratic head
quarters in New York.
Gov. Boyd Of Nebraska, has written ;
letter urging democrats to vote for the PEG
pies party candidates for presidential cleo
tors, the object being to take Nebraska out
of her accustomed place in the republican
| column
