IN THE POLITICAL FIELD.

Charles Emory Smith. United states Minister 10
Russia. /, his way home from The foreign service
lie sailed from Liverpool the reUtonic hist week
and will arrive in all probability on Wednesday. Mr.
smith expected TO have 10 return home In February
and partial arrangements "a do so, but to super
intend the work Of distributing the famine supplies
from this country he remained his post long
be could His successor In Office has been subject
OF speculation for weeks but while many names have
been mentioned In connection vltn the honor,
Of them has been looked upon reasonably sure
Of being selected. The selection OF Mr. Coolidge for
the French Mission upset the calculations OF tho
politicians here entirely and made them feel disposed
20 look for another surprise Of similar character
The Republicans Of the famous old 1Xth Assembly
District have had their patience sorey tried Of late.
II will 10 remembered that they generously assisted
in electng delegates TO Minneapolis two gentlemen
from outside tho district. At that time IL
ycced that the IXth would get member OF the State
Committee and also a Presidential Elector This
understood all around, but unfortunately for then
when tho State Committee met AT Albany IL wns de
cidcd that the new committee should be selected on
the now apportionment This took the lXth away
from its former associates. the LIST and With, and put
4, with the xIIth and XVIII Assembly Districts. The
With and XVIII had already agreed TO work together
rh,s leaving the new Corners ont in the cold II was
rather harsh treatment but the leaders In the lNh
ARC too thoroughly trained fighters TO complain. Any
one who had the pensue 81 attending the ENJOYABLE
dnn.r which they gave a. MOico's saturday night
would never suppose lat they had been disappointed
or that they had not captured everything IN sight
II Is surprising that the lAth hhs the sympathy OF
tie rsrty generally
II IS expected that the new Republican State Com
mttce Will be called together hero within few days
10 organize and elect officers for the campaign. 30
far no one has been mentioned candidate for
chairman aCains Mr. BrOokfcd, though that gentle
man f. Just rs willing rs ever 10 retire In favor Of
any good man hOm the committee Will support for
tho place
A good deal Of satisfaction expressed by dele
gntes from this city and Brooky 20 the state Con
vention last week over the railr arrangements 1t
Is only fair TO say that these In charge Of the
veteran Pcrnard Bigln. fact sufficient account
the agreeable character Of thing connected with
thu work ~ transportation.
Nothing except the Minneapolis Convention IL
awaited with interest by local Republican leaders
than the redisr1ctlng Of this county. They in IA
measure all at sen until this work II done.
