POLITICAL.

The Cumberland (Md.) Union (Repub-
lican) places at the head of its columns the
following ticket for President and Vice
President s.
| For President, Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana.
For President, Francis Thomas, Of
Maryland
The Chicago Tribune says of the recent
election in that city:-
The victory of the Republican party in
the municipal election y,st rday was even
more decisive than we h I'd dared to hope.
Mayor Rice is reelected by nearly four
Thousand majority, and the Republican can
didates for Alderman are successful in eleven
of the sixteen wards The Democracy yes
terday made the first energetic and detcrmin-
ed effort to carry the city that they have put
forth since the Presidential election of 1864,
when the Republican majority was 1881
They secured the town over, and got out
every man who could possibly be persuaded
to vote for their candidates. But they were
overwhelmingly beaten. The returns show
that in the wards where there was serious
contest for Alderman pretty full vote was
polled, while the heavy Republican wards
show considerably less than full vote. II
there had been an equally active contest in
these wards the Republican majority in the
city would have been one thousand larger
than it is.
A correspondent of the Tribune, writing
from Richmond, has the correct idea of the
thing when he says:
The harvest is ripe for the Republicans,
and all they have to do is to thrust in the
sickle and reap. If they neglect to do it,
they must not grumble by and by if they
find others, the enemies o. the blacks, fore
ing them by thea s ind violence, or by
| Of
them.
A half million of dollars now expended
in the promotion of loyal organizations and
the circulation of loyal literature throughout
the South is the thing of necessity this mo-
| ment.
I'm Liberty district, Frederick county,
the Democrats supported mixed ticket
of white and colored men for deleg, tes to
the Constitutional Convention. Mr.. Curry
| (colored) and Gen. Anthony Kimmel, the
Farmer of Linganore,' lead the Ticket.
The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says =
The Democratic Central Committee have
determined to organize grand campaigning
expedition through the Southern States dur
ing the coming summer, with view of pre-
pairing in that quarter for the approaching
| Presidential election. The best speakers
are to he put in the field, and there will be
no want of funds. The exertions the Re
puhlcans are already making to secure the
suffrage Of the freedmen would seem to have
suggested this proceeding. II is understood
that the President, instead Of coming to
New York as he promised he would after
the adjournment of the Senate. viii make
pilgrimage in the same direction and imme-
diatcly precede the Democratic orators.
The Maine Democratic State Convention
-. ,,,I T,,ne Tee,
81 10 nominate a candidate for Governor.
The Republican majority in Rhode Is
land, at the recent election, was 4, l9S. The
Democratic candidate for Governor had only
$3.50 votes.
--Colored men will be nominated for pla
ces in the Convention and Legislature of
South Carolina by the Charestonians. Old
Democrats take part in the nominating bus
mess, and Wade Hampton supports the
movement. These are spregnant facts
In Tennessee the conservatives count
| ON 81, 600 majority ON the white vote, and
estimate the colored vote al $4,000 for
Brownlow and 10000 for the Conservative
candidate. BY this reckoning the anti
Brownlow party claim the election of their
candidate by 1000 votes. In order to secure
this result the negro vote must be controlled
very largely by the late rebel element. Ii
is the heartiness with which they enter into
this new work that is peculiarly wonderful
Men who, twelve months ago, declared they
would die before they would consent to go
10 the polls with the negro, are now Jealous
in their efforts to control his vote. They
do not do this out of any change in their
feelings toward the blacks but they do 1t
that they may, if possible, secure the defeat
of the Radicals. How near these estimates
are to the truth it is of course impossible 10
tell, but that the Conservative party will use
every means, fair and foul. to secure success
there can be no doubt.
