POLITICAL NOTES.

John Kelly declines to be a candidate for the Tammany nomination for Mayor of New York. The Independent [anti-Blaine Republican) organization is doing more work in Massachusetts than the regular Democrats. The San Francisco Bulletin will not be much surprised if the Republicans of California elect four of the six Representatives to be chosen in that State this fall. All six are now Democrats. Editor McCune, of the Buffalo Courier , has made a wager of SI,OOO with Col. Hooker, Vermont member of the National Republican Committee, that Cleveland carries New York. He also bets Hooker SIOO that Vermont does not give Blaine 24,000 majority. Gen. Butler proposes to make fifty set speeches in New York.
