Campaign Notes.

The preposterous charges of land
winding operations which the Cincinna.
ii Gazette made against Senator Schurz
have called forth an indignant defense OF
the senator from the Volksblatt of that
city. 1t protests that every American
citizen has a right to his own political
views without having his coed name
drawn through the mire, and says II Sen
ator Schurz were guilty of the alleged
robbery it would have been known long
ago. 1t thinks, had the senator support
ed Grant, the charge would never nave
been made, but is simply an endeavor to
neutralize the power ofan influential pol
itician: "besides, " it adds, lit is very
singular that, thus far, not one OF those
said to have been swindled has com
planned OF any grievance. " This defense
has additional force from the fact that its
writer, Fred. Hassaurek, who is one OF
the most eloquent German orators and
accomplished journalists in the W est, has
been regarded by some as the rival OF
Senator SchurZ.
P T. Barnum was called out for a
speech at the state convention in Hart
ford the other day He remarked that
he had been told by Republican that
day: 1--WE are going to carry ConneetI
cut for Grant" Mr. Barnum replied,
Il have property in Bridgeport amount
ing to 100000 which can readily put
together in the shape of ready money
and | will put up that sum on wager
that Connecticut votes lor Greeley
The Golden Age says that speech
from Carl Schurz irthe city of New York
inst now would cost the Administration
10 600 votes. No wonder the Nasty
Journal of CVilizati0n wants Schurz tc
,, 90 back to Germany.

days OF Lincoln and Douglas. The Liberals

prospect of success in this State, and the ad-
ministration followers are proportionatcly
depressed. lt seems almost beyond credencc
10 suppose that this State. which gave Grant
$4,000 majority in lSGS will now give Lib
eral majority, but it is almost impossible to
resist the tide of enthusiasm which Is swell
ing for Greeley. The fact is, the people of
the state are active in the Liberal cause. the
leaders are confident and audacious, and the
Grant party are doubtful. u not despairing
1t Is confidently stated by the best Informed
and coolest Liberal that II Greeley and kocr-
ner do not carry the State In November. the
best political prophets of the State viii be

Improving the Breed of Horses.

"lmproving the breed of horses" is "a
phrase used by the horse ianciers when
they wish to get an act of incorporation
for horse racing society. All over the
country there are associations for this
ostenslble object, but which, so far as
plain people can see, have no other i'm.
provement in view than to improve the
speed OF horses aud this improved speed
is put to no other use than to make money
by betting, pool selling. aud to bring
crowds together who are expected to
spend money which will benefit such en-.
terprisipg corporations as Saratoga, Long
Branch, New Yoik City,and others where
race courses are kept up. 1t does not
seem that the mere speed of horses in
these days of telegraphs and locomotives,
AID when swift horses are not of much
practical account ia carrying their riders

Wild indians, 10 Of any special account.
