He could be nomi pated if he permitted his name to go before thd convention, It may as well be understood, however, that he will make no geal to secure the nomina- tion.

But the large quantities of silver produced of late years and the improved and eheapened processes of mining it and extracting the pure me- tal from the ore have so reduced ils value that it now requires thirty-two ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold. If Generel Jackson were alive hewould not be caught in the company of the cheap money advocates who wish to put 50 cents worth of silver into a dollar and to pay 100 cents of debt with it. He adjusted his ratio to intrinsic value, so that all the dollars in the hands of the people should be real dollars, worth as much after they were melted by fire as they were be- fore meiting.—~The Philadelphia Re- cord.

The States holding April conventions will be en- titled to 274 delegates, divided as fol- lows: Oregon, 8; Kentucky, 26; Ne braska, 16; North Dakota, 6; New Jer sey, 20; Maine, 12; Tennessee, 24; Pennsylvania, 64; Indian ‘lerritory, 2; Alabama, 23; Georgia, 28 and Illi nois, 48. While district delegates have been elected in nearly all of the above mentioned States, they cannot be accurately assigned among the several candidates until the State con- ventions have been held. It will be easily seen from these figures, there fore, that no candidate has a sure thing at this time. This state of uncertainty will keep the political excitement at fever heat during the coming month, and dsin- terested observers, if there are any, will have a good opportunity to look on and enjoy the fun.
