Political Points

This week there have been the usual
receptions in this city. Jack" Mac
Coll and Charley Casey and George d.
Meiklejohn and a half dozen other can
didates for state Offices have been here
and "at home" to their friends. 1t Is
only q month now to the state con-
vention, and the preliminary canvass
is assuming definite shape.
Up to three weeks ago Jack" was
undoubtedly in the lead for governor.
but things have changed considerably
since then. Jack" had exhausted
himself before Congressman Meikle-
John came home. and while the later
has been forging ahead with remark
able rapidity Jack" has not only not
made Roadway, but has failed to hold
his own. It Is seldom that such radi-
cal change is effected in state politics
in two or three weeks time as that
which has been brought about by Mr..
Meiklejohn. There is now q powerful
movement in his direction and 1t Is
constantly gaining in force. He Is
leading the field today. and there does
not seem to be any risk in hazarding
the prediction that he will be nomi-
mated. OF late the candidacy Of Judge
Hayward has been considerably talked
about, and it is generally admitted
that he Is a strong and entirely unob-
jectionable candidate: but the judges
aversion to making an active canvass
is known, and ii Is not probable that
he will be a very considerable factor
in the race.
Everybody, including even the poll
ticians, has at last come to recognize
the importance of making q proper
selection for the head Of the ticket. and
it is significant that Meiklejohn Is gen.
orally looked upon as the one man
available to meet the demand for a big
man for the big Office of governor.
Jewett appears to be gaining
in strength in his canvass for state
treasurer. It is believed that r.. E.
Moore is a candidate for denomination
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
1t Is the sentiment of an over
whelming majority of republicans that
a denomination should be accorded the
republican state officers now serving
their first terms.
There has not been much change In
the local fight for the Office of county
treasurer. Major Pierce is now ad-
mitted to be a serious candidate. 1t Is
impossible to determine at this day
Just what Importance his candidacy
will assume. Mr.. Sullivan is making
an active canvass Of the county. and
his friends consider the outlook favor
able. Every day there Is additional
evidence that Frank Graham will be
a strong candidate. and as 1t looks now
the fight will be between Sullivan and
Graham, with Buckstaff or Kimmell q
possibility in case both Of these
fail to win. Buckstaff is sure of his
ward. and Kimmell is in fair way to
carry the Fifth. Harry Abbott still
carries around with him title deeds to
the First ward. Charley Branson will
have Yankee Hill and some additional
following. Greenameyer has the prom

Bland and the Speakersllip

Washington, D. c., Dec. lS.-
"Silver Dick" Bland, the Missouri
apostle of free silver, will not enter
into a scramble for the Democratic
caucus nomination for speaker. He
has written private letter to a
friend here in which he says that
while he would appreciate the honor,
he will have to decline to enter into
any contest for it.
Notwithstanding this letter, the
Missouri delegation will present his
name. and unless conditions greatly
change. he will be the caucus nomi
nee The claims of Nr. Bland for
the houor are so eminently superior
to those Of otLer aspirants that when
the Democrats of the new House
meet they will have no difficulty in
deciding to award the honor to the
distinguished Missourian. Unless
Mr.. Bland should positively forbid
the use of his name, the delegation
will stand by him solidly.

WEYLER MAKES ANOTHER START.

Again He Buckles on His Armor and Goes

Cincinnati, o, Dec. 90 A special
from Key West says: That General
Weyler is going into the field again
is confirmed tonight by passengers
on the Havana boat. Preparations
are being made with secrecy for a
forward move Three battaiions of
newly-landed troops left by water
for the East 1t is supposed this is
part of Weyler's coming campaign
Gomez is advancing rapidly, and it
is thought that Weyler will, if pos
sible, prevent his coming to th'-
gates of Havana. 1t is stated from
Cuban sources that the Cuban leader
is wild over the murder of his only
son and his beloved chief, and is
burning to revenge their fall.
The Cubans in the army are infu
rated also over the treachery Of DR.
Zertucha. DR.. Zartucha is marked
man, too, and it is reported move
will be made to abduct him He is
now in a fortress some miles from
Havana, with strong Sparish guard
His trip to Spain will be postponed,
the Cubaus say, as if he goes over
there they have friendly hands in
that country who will avenge Maceo
and young Gomez. Major Cirujeda
also comes in for his share of hatred
aud revenge. Strong insurgent
bands are now 80 close to Havana
that the Spanish soldiers seldom
venture far out OF the gates of the
city, except in strong force. A COM
pany of twenty FIVE were attacked
Sunday night not over three miles
from the palace by an insurgent
band and several of them killed.
This audacity has worried Weyler,
but he can not capture or disperse
them. An American named Amos
johnson, from Texas, is their most
prominent leader

Senator Allen Well Backed in His Resolution
Washington, D. G, Dec. 17.-In
his resolution to investigate the use

jority of the senate, which includes
all shades of political opinion. In.

was introduced after consultation
and promise of support from dem

republicans. The resolution was
sent to the committee on contingent
expenses, which is composed of
Jones of Nevada, Galllnger OF New

1t is probable the two Joneses will
favor the resolution. and that ma

The Slaves Freed.

Washington, Dec. % Among the
earliest reforms of the French Gov
ernment in Madagascar is decree
abolishing slavery, copy of which
has reached the State Department
from Consul Wetter, ut Tamatave.
It declares all the inhabitants free,
forbids traffic in human beings, null
iifying every contract providing for
the sale of persons, and imposes
penalties for violations of the law
which sre to be tripled in case of
second offense. Other features of
the decree are that France promises
not to impose on the Madagascar
any extraordinary war tax and offers
aid to dispossessed owners OF slaves
IN the form of territorial possessions.
Another decree relating to schools
prohibits interference by teachers in
political affairs aad urges ipstruc.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The journal
sent queries to the Governors Of
States asking them if they favored
recognition of Cuba and how many
men they could raise in the event of
war. The governors are practically
unanimous for recognition. Gov.
Mitchell leads in the belligerent
spirit and says his State can raise
25,OOO men. Matthews of Indiana
offers 10000.
Stone of Missouri says: 81 favor
such interference by recognition or
material aid as would promote the
war for independence. Missouri
alone could furnish enough volun-
teers to eettle the Governments
differences with Spain"
hastings OF pennsylvania express
ed similar statements, as does also
Altgeld, who says Illinois would
send more men than she could arm.
Pingree says Michigan is never
found wanting. Far Western and

recognition.
