Political Notes.

The star-route trials cost the Government about $3,000 a week. The Buffalo Courier intimates that Gov. Cleveland is not a candidate for President.

The New York Sun says: “We will pay SSO for a full report of the second speech of Mr. William M. Evarts at the Union League Club anniversary. It was pronounced at about 3 o’clock in the morning.” Dear, dear! is it possible that Mr. Evarts has forgotten his temperance training tinder Hayes. Gen.

He don’t seem to have any, permanent residence anywhere, and his name is frequently connected with exceedingly questionable undertakings.
