Americas Recorder. W. Ii, UI.KSSNKK, Killlnr. _ OBcIttl Or**» at WeMer Coimly. ~ SUNDAY, JULY 3T, 1AM4. A case of yellow fever lias ex cited New Orleans. Streator, the celebrated Illinois Greenback orator, la supporting Cleveland. ,and Hendricks. Bon. Butler's surely losing bis grip. ' The national prohibition convcn lion met at Pittsburg on the 22d Dr. McDonald, of California, will probably to the nominee for presi dent. Gov. St. John, of Kansas, is the presidential nominee of the Prohi bition parly. He and Gov. Bntler oogtit to combine their forces so as to inakc a showing. The committee to notify Gov. Cleveland of Ills nomination is ex pected to perform that duty next week, and his letter of acceptance may be looked for the first or sec ond week in August. Hon. John M. Forbes, of Boston, who usually contributes $10,000 to the Republican Presidential cam paign fund, refuses to support lllalne and announces his purpose to support Cleveland. Secretary Teller wants the pro- emplion law repealed. lie thinks too many frauds are committed un der it. About 000,000 pre-emption claims are now pending involving about 75,000,000 acres of lar.d. It is believed that entries covering many millions of acres are fraudu lent. Considerable interest attaches to t lie position of the Hon. Iloscoe Conkllng on the presidential ques tion. The Utica Press, in his own home, and owned and edited by his personal friends, and which is sup posed to represcntMr. Conkling’s views, declares its intention to sup port the Pemocratio ticket. THE CHANCES FOHNUVKMIIEII. While the political prophets arc figuring out how the electoral vote is going to be cast in November, the Charleston News and Courier also delves in facts nud figures on the subject. It shows that “in 1880 llio popular vote was ns follows: UarOeld, republican, 4,- 454,416; Hancock, democrat, 4,- 444,952; Weaver, greenback, 308,- 678;repubiican plurality over demo cratic vote, 9,464. Among the closo stales that venr, California went democratic by 78; Connecti cut went republican by 2,656; Indi ana went republican by 6,642; New Jersey west democratic by 2,010; New York went republican by 21,- 033. “In 1882 these states all went democratic by the following pin ralitics: California, 23,519; Con] necticut, 4,161; Indiana, 10,416; New Jersey, 2,113; New York, 191,854. Kansas, Massachusetts and Michigan also went democrat, ic in 1882, and Michigan also went democratic on a small vote in 1883. Now York and Connecticut relum ed to the republican column in 1883, but New Jersey roiiiniucd democratic. “In the present house of repre sentatives the democrats have a majority of seventy-three, and a majority in the d<legations of fif teen stales, and one delegation (that of Florida) Is equally divid ed. In 1882, when this congress was oloctcd, only eight states gavo republican majorities, and the popular majority against tha republican parly was over 600,- 000. The republicans who ex- lied to carry the countiy this year with a ticket ngaiust which there has been a prompt revolt ol unprecedented dimensions, assume that there Is to be a complete reac tion from tbo vote of 1882. The new apportionment, on which the election will be counted this year kelps the democrats, because it increases the relative power of the south, giving it 153 out ol 401 votes, in place of 138 out of 369. Tlie chances, Judging from past elections, seem strongly iu favor of Cleveland's success; and should the election happen to lie thrown into the house of representatives Hie heavy democratic majority in that body will be sure to settle the contest in the right way.” Ill l,I,II0U IIALEOriNO. | The Democratic Congressional j Convention of the first district of Georgia lias taken one hundred and seventy-four ballots ^illiout mak- n ing a nomination. f 3 ^ The sixth district of Missouri made a nomination on the 389th ballot.
