POLITICAL NOTES.
Mr. Horace White is of the opinion that Arthur can poll more votes in New York than any other Republican who can be nominated for the Presidency. He is for Edmunds, although he is free to admit that the chances for Edmunds are slim. Edmunds out of the field White is for Arthur. - Ex.
The business men of the country believe that Arthur can carry New York and that Blaine cannot. To sacrifice New York is to sacrifice the party. - Cincinnati Times-Star.
If Blaine is nominated for the Presidency, there is just one chance of success, and it lies in the fact that the Democrats might put up a worse man - Ben. Butler, for instance. - Newport News.
John Sherman regards the "business men's" movement of President Arthur with ill-concealed jealousy. John is the business man's friend, and he thought everybody knew it. - Chicago Herald.
The recent hearty endorsement of Arthur at an immense meeting of business men of New York, was followed by a similar great movement by the same class at Chicago. - Ex.
Judging from the reports of what is said by the Democrats who have met as a State committee, the nomination of Mr. Tilden is already determined upon by the great majority of Democrats. Some little light is cast upon Tammany's support of Tilden by the argument that Kelly had to take either Cleveland or Tilden, and preferred Tilden on account of the state of his health. - New York Herald.
It is said that the enemies of Blaine intend to work on the feelings of the convention by assuring it that he cannot carry the State of New York. Can these enemies of Blaine positively assure the convention that any Republican candidate can carry the State of New York? It is suspected that Mr. Tilden will look after that State, and the Republicans needn't bother themselves about it. - Chicago Times.
