Political Notes.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says Grant won his
battles by numerical strength. That is the
exact way he will win the battle he is now
fighting.
There is republican in Charlottesville who
says he IS going to leave the party because,
when they hold meetings, he can't get near
enough to hear the speakers. He likes the de-
mocracy because he can get close to the stand
and hear what they have to say.-IndiandpoliS
journal.
1t is reported that Attorney General Williams
has positively declined to have his name used in
the Oregon legislature for election as United
States senator, and has written to members of
the Legislature that on no account would he be a
candidate.
Judge Black of Pennsylvania has finally de-
clared for Greeley, as we have stated. His real
opinion Of Greeley has been declared TO demo-
cratic interviewer as follows: clad you raked
this world and the two adjacent, you could not
have found filter man to be candidate, or
more unfit one to be president"
The Cincinnati Enquirer says the idea of re-
electing Grant is Professionalism it was all
the republicans could do to elect him in 1858.
True, but the Enquirer must remember that in
1868 we were burdened with Greeley, Fitzpatrick
Brown, Donnely, Aleck Mcclure, and all Of
that crowd. The democracy have that load to
carry now.
If the election had taken place in Indiana
month ago we should have had some fears of the
result. A good many honest but deluded men
would have gone for Greeley. But they are
nearly all back in their places now, and prepared
10 give the confederate democracy broadSide in
October Indianapolis Journal.
We do not know the Rev. C. w. Dennison,
says the Toledo (0hio) Blade, the man who set
af1oat the last lie concerning President Grants
alleged habits of drinking, but the Boston Tray
eller does. 1t says: His word is as worthless as
that of Fitzpatrick, and his integrity is on par
with ex-senator Doolitte. We can hardly be-
lieve all of this. A man may be as bad as Kill
patrick, or as bad as Doolittle, but TO say any
one man is as bad as both Of them is little too
much
The Wheeling Intelligencer says that the OPP
position is much demoraized in West Virginia.
The democrats who voted for Camden charge
that the Greeley republicans have cheated them,
and both branches of the fusion are thoroughly
disguised with each other and with their leaders.
The Camden democrats only want an excuse TO
abandon Greeley, and nomination at Louisville
will afford an opportunity which many of them
will embrace,
The Pittsburg PENN Mail, of Saturday says:
"The withdrawal of Hon. John S. McCalmont
from the Greeley party, and his declaration for
Grant and the whole republican ticket, has
created quite an excitement in the liberal camp
in Venango. 1t is reported that Gen. Aft b.
McCalmOnt, brother of the judge is not so pro-
nounced in his democracy as to be prepared to
swallow Judge Blacks view, that the issue of this
campaign, if Greeley is elected is to be the be-
nf oil aNytin nf tha
tutional amendments Gen. McCalmont don't
feel that another war to reinstate slavery is adj
visable."
The Hillsboro' Recorder, North Carolina,
democratic Greeley sheet, is out of patience with
the lying chatter about republican frauds" in
that state. Having the New York Tribune in
view, it says; "And they want to contest Cald-
wells election. Well, it is all bosh again. Cad-
well is certainly elected, and that we had GER
tainly better make our minds up to, right off.
The people have been fooled sufficient. Noodle
headed old jackies, and linen buster and chew
ing tobacco, and pipe smoking corner loafers,
and street talking politicians have beguiled our
men in the corn field and the working shops
long enough. And we tell these people now
that Caldwell will surely take his seat And we
tell them that as to frauds we have known of no
frauds committed, and if they were, we would
other"
A very vigorous protest does the Alabama
Findcator, Greeley democratic organ, make
against the assumption of Mr. Sumner that the
democracy have given up the ghost and are
fully converted to republeansm. Hear this
voice from the catacombs: "Can a party be
called dead which intends casting three-fourths
OF the votes which are to make Horace Greeley
PRESIDENT Can party be dead which will have
majority in the next United States congress of
Its followers and adhererts, who will shape the
future policy of this government? You might
as well assert as a biblical truth that Jonah
swallowed the whale as TO assert that this lib
eral movement which is now going on has swal-
lowed up the national democracy"
In readable letter to the Plattsburg (N.Y0
Sentinel commercial traveller describes some.
what of the enthusiasm for Grant he has wit
messed in the towns on the Erie, from New York
to Meadville.' One incident we quote: "Aboard
the train from Geuesee to Olean we took a vote,
the result being thus: For the war G., IS; for
the Niagara peace G., 81. Sitting directly in
my front was an eXrebel from Texas, Journey
ing homeward. Owing to an incident in taking
the vote we became engaged in a dispute over
the bloody chaSm.' He was for Horace and
was for Ulysses. Each of us opened with few
