People are now applying, with a good deal of satisfaction, the old rale whioh says that the first three days of December will indicate the kind of weather we are to have during Deoember, January and February. Therefore the three winter months are to be mild. But weather -‘signs' of that kind are worthless, one all, from gdoaebone to groundhog. £ »1— ' 11 ' John Suarp .Williams, the democratic leader of the House of Representatives, says that the tariff reform should be the issue next oampaign; Gorman favors the race question; Hearat declares for “Democracy Labor’s ally;” and Bryan insists on the Kansas City platform and says that freu silver *is not dead.

The Indianapolis Journal baa an unusually interesting as well as valuable oolumn headed "The Drift of Politics,” in which leading Republicans of the state are interviewed and their prognostications published. Sometimes this special oolumn is lengthened out iutu two or tnree columns, and both the Demooratio as well as Prohibition party men are considered The entire “Drift" is interestingly written, ... and gives strong evidenoe of being honest and fair. The Journal in this has added a valuable feature to its otherwise interesting columns. Grover Cleveland, in a letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle informs the dear people that he has enough of political life and positively assures them that under no circumstances will he be a candidate again for president. This being the oase his friends have to turn to some other viotim. While Gorman apparently is strong in the South he is not a favorite of the North. Judge Parker of the New York Appelate oourt seems at this writing to suit Mr. Cleveland’s friends the best and quite likely they may settle down on him like a hawk on a ohioken. However, it will probably be six months before the nominating convention will meet and many things are liable to ooour before then.
