POLITICAL NOTES.

State and congressional conventions to select national delegates will be held April 15 in Denver by Colorado democrats. Republicans of Butler county, Pennsylvania, indorsed Senator Quay for president, with Major McKinley for second choice. Congressional Delegate Dennis T. Flynn was nominated for a third term by Oklahoma Territory republicans in convention at Kingfisher. Republicans of the forty-fourth Illinois senatorial district will hold their convention May 5' in Mount Carmel. The candidates will probably be Captain Ross Graham, of White county, for senator, and Messrs. Warfield, of Hardin county, and Williams, of Wabash county, for representatives. C. W. Stafford, South Dakota’s oil inspector, has purchased the Sentinel at Aberdeen. This change indicates a lively political fight, as. Mr. Stafford is one of Governor Sheldon’s lieutenants and the governor is a candidate for Senator Kyle’s position. Repbllcans of the Wabash and Koscisko county district nominated Joseph C. Gochenour for state senator.
