1t is evident that there is trouble in Michigan.
Michigan democrats in Washington are boastng
Of it, and Michigan republicans here admit it,
The democrats are counting on breaking the
present solid republican delegation by carrying
two congressional districts, and some republicans
are afraid that there is foundation for this hope
Then, a considerable section OF the republican
press OF the State is arrayed bitterly against the
reelection OF Governor Bliss, and, while it is
not supporting Durand, his democratic oppo-
nent it is pointing out that Governor Bliss fell
behind Mckinley by $4,000 votes two years ago
and may fall even further behind than that this
year. The defeat of H c. Smith for renomina-
ton in the Second district seems to have created
much dissatisfaction, and Carlos Douglass Shell.

member of eongyess from Arkansas at the Hotel

CURRENT POLITICS.
From the WASHINGTON Times. Ind

From the Washington Times, Ind
1t is regarded as significant by experienced
political observers that in California, the only
republican State in which the platform adopted
this year vigorously cries down the agitation Of
the tariff revision question, the republicans are
threatened with a porportionately heavier loss IN
their congressional delegation than in any other
State. The California platform not only op-
poses the presidents Cuban reciprocity policy, but
every reciprocity proposition pending in
the senate, and declares in effect that the Dingley
schedules must not be touched. The present
delegation from the Golden Gate State is now
solidly republican, but reliable reports indicate
that the democrats are likely to gain three dis
tricts this year. Representative Loud chairman
of the great house committee on postofices and
postroads, is having the fight OF his life for re-
election and is calling upon the most prominent
republicans in the country for help. Julius Kahn,
the actorstatesman who represents the district
in San Francisco which adjons Mr.. LIQUIDS, is
also in serious danger, while in the new Eighth
district the election Of William A. Smythe, the
democratic candidate, is generally conceded It
is confidently expected that Franklin L. Lane,
the democratic nominee for governor will make
an appreciable reduction in the majority of
10000 given for Mckinley two years ago and
some long chance bets are being made in San
Francisco Lanes election
