POLITICAL.
Speaking of the Democratic Prcsi-
Dental problem, a Washington cor
respondent says: tNeither Hill nor
German is fool, and although each
would like to be President, they will
not take the chance of sure defeat.
If it is sure thing that neither Hill
nor German can be elected, then the
trio Hill, German and Brce-will
decide to own the next Democratic
candidate if he is elected, and will
nominate nobody, probably Ros-
well b. Flower, now Governor of
New York. A close friend of HIPS
has intimated that so far as present
appearances were at the present time,
German would most likely be the
candidate" The correspondent also
thinks that Cleveland has lost
strength in the South. That remains
to be seen.
The Cleveland men have been
holding secret conferences with each
other in most of the cities of the
State of New York and presumably
in some of the country towns, spying
out the land and comparing notes as
to what they can do at the primaries.
Mr.. Cleveland is quoted as advising
them that if a majority of the party
seem to be against him they must not
seek to create any factional differ
ences, as he is too good Democrat
not to be willing cheerfully to bow to
the will of the majority.
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky Is
now talked of as possible candi-
date for the Presidency.
Mr.. M. II. De Young of this city
is looking with longing eyes on the
United States Senatorship.
There was sort of political
portpourri in Chicago Jan. 2Sth. A
national conference of representa-
tives of various political movements
now existent in this country, includ-
ing Prohibitionists, Farmers, Labor
ers, Greenbackers, General Reform
ers, etc., was held in secret ses-
sion. Miss Frances E. Willard
presided. The object of the con-
ference was to devise ways and
means for electing President of
the United States who will with one
blow kill the rum traffic. Ignatius
Donelly was to make the opening
speech but failed to appear. The
idea is to unite all these elements on
one candidate for the Presidency,
believing that they outnumber either
of the regular parties.
Advices from Buda-Pesth state
that returns from the elections for
members of the Hungarian Diet are
still being received. The opposition
is gaining a number of seats.
The scenes at the Hungarian cleo
tions were of the most violent charac-
ter. In the ancient town of Stein
Am-Anger, on the river Guns, the
people became worked up to furi-
Gus pitch. 1t was reported that the
Government had determined to count
the opposition candidates out if the
latter got majority. The rumor
received general credence, and the
multitude stormed and demolished
the voting booths and destroyed the
rolls of the election, making a new
election necessary. The gendarmes
fired on the mob, injuring several
persons. The worst disturbances
occurred in the market towns and
other places resorted to by the rural
population, who were aroused by the
report that the Government designed
to take away some of their ancient
privileges and abolish the local auto
nomy of the country districts.
President Barillas telegraphs from
Guatemala that the country is in a
condition of perfect peace. The
Liberal party triumphed in the cleo
tons.
Let us have peace. The Chilean
war clouds are gone and all is serene.
They have Withdrawn, with accepta
BILE expressions of regret, the often
sive note of Malta of the It'll ult
and also the request for the recall of
Egan. The treatment of the Incl
dent of the assault upon the sailors
of the Baltimore is concliatory and
friendly. The apology is ample and
they agree to make whatever repara-
ton may be agreed upon between
the Governments for the wounding
and killing of the sailors of the
cruiser Baltimore. Chile is not re-
quired to salute the flag.
THE HEAVY EXPENSE.
4 conservative estimate places the
expense incurred by the Navy De-
parument at l,5oo, 900. The lnuney
expended, however, will not all be
lost. The extra provisions and coal
purchased can hereafter be utilized.
One of the largest items of expense
has been the telegraph bill. The
rate TO and from Valparaiso to Wash
ington is 6l.95 q word, This bill
alone will approximate 100000.
Orders have been issued to stop lAe
extra work at the navy yards and
gun factories and bring the force of
men at the several yards down TO a
peace basis. Commodore Ramsay
