POLITICAL NOTES.

The report that Mr.. Stanchfed may not be the
Democratic nominee for Governor appears to nave
some foundation. It IS due 10 several causes
First his acceptance of the Chicago platform ana
his complete Identification with the free-siIver
movement. This has alarmed the leaders partcu-
larly HILL who thinks that Stanchhed has mado
a mistake In declaring himself on this subject.
Iil does not think that Democrat can be elected,
and his friendship for Stanchheld who was Tor
merly his law partner. leads him to wish that
some one else be selected as n victim. stronger
motive for making this change Is found In the de-
sire OF Senator Murphy TO put candidate from
Troy In the field against Mr.. Black. Murphy feels
bitter toward the Republican candidate; on ac.
count OF the relentless prosecution by Black OF
Bat Shea Murphy thinks that he has strong
candidate in Judge l.. E. Griffith. one or the lead
