Union publishes tbe names of sixty-two Itepnblicans in that olty who de clare their intention to vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. Among their number are twenty-seven bus iness and professional men. Since cx-Attorney General Speed, ol Kentucky, the only surviving member of Lincoln’s Cabinet, has deolared for Cleveland, the plumed knigbt may cease to talk about tbe traditions of the grand old par ty." ' * The Democrats are organizing lor a strong and hopeful fight in Logan’s State as well as Blaine’s. The Republicans catried Illinois by a moagre majority at tbe last State election, and the Democrats claim that they have made gaius since that time. The Republicans are said to have many misgivings about Ohio. The Democrats confidently claim 15,000 to 20,000 majority, and say it is certain that the men who ‘bolted the Republican party last year have not returned to it and never will return. Tbe million dollar bid of l)r. R H. McDonald, of California, for tbo Prohibition nomination for the Presidency appears to have been a shrewd advertising dodge, with wbioh tbe convention was not very favorably impressed.

Albany New*. One of tho largest Democratic conventions ever held in Lee coun ty assembled at Leesburg to select a man to present to the Tenth Sen atorial convention which meets in Albany next Tuesday, and also to nominate a candidate lor Repres: entative. The two leading candidates in tne Senatorial race were Messrs. J. W. Forresternnd G. W. Warwick When the convention met yester day Mr. Forrester rose, and, iu a few well-chosen remarks, withdrew from the contest, vory much against the wishes ofhis friends, who were confident of his nomination. A motion was then made to nomi nate Mr. Warwick by acclamation, but it did not prevail. Mr. II. L. Long was then put in nomination, and the convention proceeded to baliot. The ballot resulted in the nomination of Mr. Long by a vote of 114 to 92. Mr. Long’s nomin ation was then made unanimous. Mr. W. C! Gill was nominated for Representative. The choice of Mr. Long by tbe Democracy of Lee virtually makes him the nominee of the district con vention which meets next Tuesday. Under the rotation system, which has been adhered to heretofore, it is Lee county’s time to name the nominee, and Mr. Long will no doubt be nominated by acclamation when his county present; his name to the district convention. Mr. Long is one of the most in telligent and progressive fanners in this section, and will make • good Senator.
