Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, now
about II years Of age, and one of the
most picturesque figures at the nation
al capital, has no show for reelection
in that state. Naturally a strong free
silver state, his desertion of the cause
after his last election has had much
to do with this.
These seems to be more or less anX-
iety to her from Judge Parker, and
no doubt he will be heard from in due
time. He is in every way capable of
speaking for himself, and if he is in
no hurry it is no particular fault nor
is it to his discredit Grant wasn't
much of talker, but he proved a pret-
ty good vote getter for the Republicans.

If George P. Jones is sent as a dele
, gate from the second district to the
convention at St. Louis he will second
, the nomination to the presidency OF
William Randolph Hearst. This is the
arrangement, so it is said. If "Jones
of Rock'' ever gets before that con
vention-and here's the rub-one Of
!, the neatest little nominating speeches
made for Mr.. Hearst will come from
the young NIinnesotan.
Rather late in the day for Mr.. Cleve
, land to talk about the railroad riots
, that took place in Chicago during his
administration. John P. Altgeld, gov
ernor of Illinois at that time, is dead
, and it is perhaps fortunate for the
ex-president that he waited until thi:
, time before making his extended refer
, ence thereto. If Altgeld We're living
now, there would be something doing
no doubt.
