DEFERRED EDITORIAL NOTES.
At the Yale Junior promenade on
Wednesday evening, the mIst successful
social event of the University for years,
Mr.. j. II. Field of Rutland was among
the managers. Between 400 and 800
young landies from all parts of the cOun-
try were present.
The meeting of the Pennsylvania
Democratic State Committee was held at
Harrisburg ON Wednesday. The Hill
men were nowhere and the Cleveland
men elected their Chairman by large
majority. They claim the State for
Cleveland at the National Convention.
The New York TimSe, anti-Hill Demo-
Graf, in view of Hills determination
to call the Democratic convention of that
State at an early day says: This will
serve hit purpose, not in promoting his
own nomination to the Presidency-fOr
notorious knave that Hill is, we do not
imagine him to be such fol as to be-
lieve that honor to be in any way at
tainable-but in preventing Mr.. Cleve-
lands. The calling of the convention in
February, therefore, becomes the act,
not of a politician who is honOrdbly
striving for his own success, but of the
calculating assassin who has already
once betrayed the Presidency into the
hands of the Republicans and proposes
to do it again" KEEP cool,
brethren, we can beat you YET
without any traitors IN your ranks. The
theft of the New York Senate and the
revolutionary, proceeding in these bodies
have destroyed whatever chances of sue
cess you ever did have for carrying the
election next November. Traitors in
the Democratic party are not necessary
to Republican success.
Col. w. w. Dudley talks to Boston
| Post (Dem). reporter thus:
"lhe experienced political manager
was We Y unwilling to discuss the prot b.
| abilities r,Sa Ing the R5pub lean
nomination for President, but he seemed
to think that Mr.. Harrison would be
nominated for President if Mr.. Blaine
was not Il candidate. lie takes very lit
tie stock in what the newspapers say
about the illness of Mr. Blaine, and re-
! CARDS him as i'll very good health, not
wthstanding the reports of frequent ill
ness published by the press
Though reticent about discussing Re-
publican politics, Mr.. Dudley talked
of the Democratic Presidential nnmiua-
ton very freely.
"'WhO do you think will be nomi.

asked the reporter.
"'SenatOr Arthur Ii. German of Mary.
land, replied Mr.. Dudley German can
carry New York, and, to win, the Demo
Gratis must have that State. The quar-.
rel between Cleveland and Hill would
prevent either one from carrying that
State, and takes them both out of the
| list of candidates. Cleveland cannot
carry New York, and Hill cannot. There,
fore, German, who can, will be nomi-
mated.

any fault with it. He has been cautious

"'Do you think German could defeat
Harrison p
mo, don't: but he would give him
a closer run than Cleveland 1t looks as
if the Repub leans were sure to win.
German would carry New York, and
could afford to lose the Democratic
States in New England. lie probably
would not carry Massachusetts,, but
might come about as near as Cleveland.
1.-The Independents in this State
would hardly vote for Gorman,' sug-
gested the reporter.
They will vote for almost anybody,
rather than for Republican, SAID Col
Dudley"
Col. Dudley seems to understand the
Massachusetts Independents, so-called,
pretty well. The Colonel, SO the reporter
says, has left politics for good and ex-
pressed himself as Indifferent as to the
success Of parties.
