POLITICAL NOTES.


Senator Fl i'll has accepted the Democratic
nomination for Governor in New York
and now, with Daniel lockwood for 1t
Governor, and Judge Charles f. Brown
for Judge of the Court Of Appeals, the
ticket is fairly launched Oh the campaign
A big ratification meeting was held last
Monday night, at the Cooper Union
among the speakers at which was Senator
Daniel Of Virginia. What the action OF
| the aliti-snappers will be is slow in being
made known, though the obscure and colo
letter Of Judge Gaynor declining the nomi-
nation for Court Of Appeals is an ominous
one. If they refuse to support the ticket
in anything like the same numbers (100,
will defeat it. We see that the Kings
county Democrats (which includes Brook
lynn, have endorsed the ticket except that
they substitute Everett P. Wheeler OF
New Y ork city for d. Il. Hill for Cover
nor. 1t is on this candidate that the Dem,
ocratc opponents of Mr.. Hill are expected
to throw away their votes.
The Democrats of Massachusetts,, Oh
Monday, nominated Elk Governor John E
Russell of Leicester for Governor, ald
tdopted resolutions endorsing Cleveland
and denouncing the Democratic Senators
who refused to support the Wilson bill
The Republicans OF Massachusetts seem t.
be badly ratified; Cabot Lodge is address
ing the argument to them that they want
to elect a "war Governor" as they did An
drews during the civil war, for ''Phen al
armed South struck at the nations life
N ow All armed South strikes at the nat ion 5
prosperity"
