POLITICAL NOTES.
The Republican rary has never rcnominated for re.
election vcePrcsden;ial candidate. That record Ia
pretty certain to remain intact in 1892. for It 10 well
understood that vice.rresdent Morton is not cAndi
date for denomination anil also that he Is tho most
probable Republican candidate to succeed Senator
Frank HScock in the United States Senate. liscock
defeated Morton for the nomination In the Republic
caucus In 1887.
Two veterans have forward again As candidates
for Congress this year one Is Republic AM the other
isa Democrat. The Republican is Collector William
H. Robertson. who Is likely to have for his opponent
Congressman Stahlnecker The district is made UP of
Westminster county and the annexed district of New
York city. Mr. Robertson was member OF tho Albany
Assembly in lS4s And he has been Judge Congress-
man. = town or Federal official or . State Senator
pretty steadily ever r,uce Tho Democrat ia
Timothy J. Campbell, who Is said TO have teen
the man alluded 10 in tho early chronicles Of
Gotham as having held the first office established In
this colony. A: primary held it is supposed in
old Dutch Town Hal. Mr. Campbell WAS by the suf.
frages OF his fellow citizens elevated to the post Of
Schepen In what then Cor farm and is to day

OF tho occurrence and the Whole story has vague
khadowy foundation, but its innate probability we'll
Sustained by tho fact that no in town remembers
any predecessor of Campbell Ms constant candidate
in tina. region and 1t Is not unreasonable to suppose
therefore, that he was the first.

In 1885, tho result in 1882 will be determined by the
vote OF New York. Whatever possibility OF tho Demo-
Gratis winning without New York has existed has been
destroyed by the new appo:.ionmcut.
