POLITICAL NOTES.

Gov, Mckinley, of Ohio, in speaking
of the political situation in New York,
Wednesday, said: SIT is somewhat inter
! esting. Senator Hill is on top just now.
As to Hills prospects of carrying the
State at the general election, providing
he gets the nomination, that Will depend
upon the action of the supporters of Mr..
Cleveland. If Mr. Cleveland is nomi.
mated, his success in New York will de-
pend upon the support of the Hill peo-
pie. However, do not think it possible
for either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr. Hill to
carry New York this year. OF course,
Cleveland once got the State by scratch,
but then | have always believed that
Blaine carried the State and was counted
out | am satisfied that this will be a
Republican year and that the old-time
Republican maiOritieS will be rolled up
in the elections in November"
About 200 wel-known citizens of
New York city have decided to found Il
new reform club, for the purpose of
overthrowing the influence of Tammany
Hall on the politics of the city, and they
hope to make it an organization bearing
the same relation to local affairs as that
held in National politics by such clubs

An Albany exchange says: Albany
has had a chance to witness the kind of
Sunday that would be introduced
throughout the State should the infam-
Gus excise bill become u law. through
the votes of the Democratic Legislature.
Drunken Tammany delegates stumbled
through the streets, singing ribald songs
and getting more muddled at every bar
that they encountered. The usual quiet
of the Sabbath was forgotten, worship
pers on their way TO church were jostled
by the rude and tipsy thrOng, and the
impudent leers of the heelers from
Fourth ward cornels soon drove the re-
spectacle population indoors. 1t was
typical rOwdy gathering, and made the
most of its holiday. Such is the Sun
day that the trainers of the bill, against
which the moral sentiment of the State
is arrayed, have prepared for the people
of New YOrk-a Sunday in which drunk
enness and revelry would take the place
of public worship and quiet and whole
some recreation, and the bar would run
in rivalry to the altar and the pulpit.
For such Sunday the respectable cit-
zens are not prepared, and we believe
that respectable sentiment, once aroused
can be dominant in the community.
Ex-senator Blair of New Hampshire
announces himself candidate for the
Presidential nomination before the Re-
publican convention.
Springer has spoken. To put it into
palmer English, he has rushed into print
He has heard of the Albany Convention,
and to his mind three things are clear as
the result of it. First, that the nOmina-
ton Of Cleveland is an impOssibility;
secondly, that the dissensiOns in the
party in this State take Hill out of the
race; thirdly, that in the circumstances
the most 'likely'' man for the nomina-
ton is Senator John NJ. Palmer of ILL
nois. Mr.. Springer's habit of cool and
discerning thought on public questions
lends more than common interest to
what we may term his manifesto. One
cannot fail to notice, too, that he ap-
proves cordially of Hills midwinter CON
vention, which has made, as he thinks,
both Hill and Cleveland no longer Presi-
dental possibilities. Springer's states
manlike qualities never shOne more re-
splendent than at this juncture. -Trib-
