political outlook. The plumcd
knight, Blaine, is out of the Presi.
Dental race. His withdrawal caused
but slight surprise in Washington,
but created CONSERVATION in the Re
publican ranks in many places. Cali
fornia has been and always will be
for Blaine, and the news was any
thing but pleasant TO California Re-
pubIicans. The withdrawal of Blaine
is said to be due to his i'll health.
Blaine's withdrawal leaves the
field open to Harrison, is the belief
of many prominent Republicans.
The Shermanites of Columbus, Ohio,
are wild with joy, for they believe
that Foraker is settled now and Har-
rison is the man.
Others hint at Mckinley, Foster,
Gresham, Reed, Rusk, Sherman and
Alger as aspirants for the presi-
dency. Minister Robert Lincoln is
also looked upon with favor.
The New York Advertiser says:
1--WE are authorized to say that
David b. Hill is candidate for the
presidency, subject to the decision
of the Demo cratic National Conven-
ton, and that he does not care who
knows it. d"
Editor Charles A. Dana says New
York is for Hill.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, South
and North Dakota are for ex-President
Cleveland. Montana was left out Of
this combination because it was fear
ed the free silver sentiment was so
strong there that Cleveland could not
make sure of the delegation. Iowa
was let in because promise was
made by q prominent Democrat there
that Boies would be candidate only
in the event that Cleveland cannot
be nominated.
Friends of Senator John G. Car
Isle of Kentucky are endeavoring to
create boom for him in Presidential
probabilities.
The New York Times Atlanta,
Ga, special says: The Journal,
through correspondents has inter-
viewed 1889 prominent Democrats in
all parts Of Georgia, as to Presiden-
tial preferences, $40 want Cleveland
PIT are for Hill and the others scat
tering.
Ex-Speaker of the House, Tom
Reed wants to go to the Minneapolis
Convention at large and furthermore
says he will go. Joe ManIey says
he will not and so there is trouble
ahead. Friends of the Adminlstra-
ton say he is going there to "make
mischief" and to prove disturbing
element generally. He is opposed to
Blaine and Harrison.
Senator Stanford says he is not a
candidate for the Presidency, and
says his name will not be presented
with his permission.

IRELAND's LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
News from London says: "Until
Balfour introduced the Irish Local
Government bill on Thursday next
proceedings in Parliament will be
mere party skirmishing. Though the
Ministers decline to satisfy the poll
ticians who crave to know the gist of
Irish proposals the draft of the bill,
which is now in type, is known to
contain host of clauses revealing in
completely Balfour's land act. A
high informant describes it as in sub
stance an application of the English
County Council Act without adhering
strictly to existing county areas, with
a view to protect the minority-that
is, Conservative strengthen districts
where the national vote is strong.
