POLITICAL VIEWS.
Opinions Of CaliiMlianS on The PfaS.d8l-
tial Possibilities.

WAsHINeToN Feb. l5-Hon. Poindexter
Dunn, for ten years a Representative in
Congress from the First Arkansas District,
hut who has spent the last three years in
Los Angeles, Cal, was at the National last
night. When asked about politics on the
Pacific Coast Mr. Dunn said: "The local
sentiment out there is strongly in favor of
Mr.. Cleveland. He has the confidence Of
the masses, aud if the question comes to the
viii Of the people l have no doubt about
him being the nominee The question Of
availability, however, viii have to be taken
into consideration, and considering the
warning factions In New \ Ork ! am in
ciined to think some Western man viii be
nominated"
''Who do you think that will be ?" was
asked.
There are quite number of available
men-Campbel, BoieS. Palmer and William
NJ. Morrison. Colonel Morrison is especially
strong. and it would be easier to elect him
than to nominate him"
Mr. Blaine'5 withdrawal Is certainly
great disapp0in tment TO the Republican
party throughout the country. lie is
stronger with the masses to-day than at
any other period during his life.
LUTTRELL's OPINION.
J. K. LuttIeu. ex-member of Congress
from California, who IS registered at Will
ards, said: Blaine would have carried
California, 1 think, by 20000 majority.
There is a division Of sentiment between
Cleveland and Hill. However a Western
man would suit MS better-any one of the
fouT-MorrlsOn or Palmer, Of Illinois, Boies
of Iowa, or Gray Of Indiana. Alger is a
very 20 auar Republican on the Coast l
have heard just such p1litical sentiment all
the way along the line in Nevada Nebraska
and Iowa"

Indications Of an Unusually Large Crop the

New YORK, Feb. 15.-The Commercial
Bulletin this morning refers again TO the
favorable prospects Of the California raIsin
trade based on importation statistics, and
ADDS: Since the publication of those statis-
tics the returns of shipments from CalifOr-
MIA have been given out. and the figures sug-
gest that California has already made great
strides in the direction of supplying the
outlet that vas formerly a field for foreign
rasins. As a matter Of fact it would seem
practically demonstrated that California has
produced enough TaiSins to supply an outlet
equal to that which foreign goods found in
this country when the latter had the field
almost exclusively, and it is suggested that
weather conditions permitting, there will be
enough raisin grapes grown there the COM
ing season to bring the supply OF California
raisins fully up to the crop Of last year and
the importations from Europe combined.
