POLITICAL NOTES.
If the noble red man of Arizona, and the
frontier generally, had the right to vote,
President Grant would stand better chance.
They like his style.
Every little whipper-snapper of the Ad-
minstr ition is pitching into Carl Schurz. 1t
would be an honor to most of them to have
their coat tails famed by the great Germans
boot.
Some of Gorham's boys have been trying
to collect money in Chinatown to carry on
the campaign. 1t is proposed to organize a
"John's Grant Club.
Il is now an ascertained fact, SAYS the
Oswego, n. Y, PalIadiunl, that over l 500
Osweeo county Republicans who voted for
Grant in 1865, will vote for Greeley this Fall.
A. s. Faviile, of Mitchell county, Iowa,
a brother Of the ex-Lieutenant Governor,
and himself formerly a prominent man in the
Iowa Legislature, has declared for Greeley.
The colored Liberals of the District Of
Columbia have elected delegates to attend
tie colored national Liberal Convention to be
held at indianapolis.
Ben Holiaday, who owns the Oregon Leg
slature, has not vet given out the name OF
the gent leman whom he proposes to have
represent him in the United States Senate.
NJ. NJ. Esiee, who had charge Of the
Booth campaign in this State, and received
unmeasured praise for its success, is spoken
of as light timber by the Republicans since
he came out for Greeley.
The nomination of Dix, which was 10
split the Democratic party in New York,
has proved an egregious failure. The Re
publican leaders now want to get rid Of the
old fellow, and put up live man.
Ireland and Germany, if within Grants
dominions, would be placed under martial
law, on account of the recent riots. Won
der what they woull think of the Ku-Klux
bill and bayonet law
The people at Washington protest against
the denunciations Of the President for spend
ing his time at Long Branch. They rather
like it, ana are willing to spare him the
year round.
The more interruptions Grant papers
manufacture text to suit their purpose
credit it TO Democratic papers, and then pro-
ceed to pick it to pieces. OF course the
comments are worthy the author of the text
The bootblacks of Troy are sharp set of
youngsters. One Of them recently cried out :
Say, johnny, I'm going to be President;
cause why, don't you see, smoke, drink
whiskey and keep a dog?'
Glen, an Indiana delegate to Louisville,
comes ont in "a card repudating the concern,
saying it was run in the interest Of Grant
He was long time finding out what every
sensible man knew before it met.
Colonel john Il. Popham has Withdrawn
his name from the head of the Grant Eeclo-
raj ticket in Virginia, and will run Us an in
dependent candidate for Congress, in the
Petersburg District, with Greeley support.
The utteranccs Of the Chicago Times are
quoted as Democratic by Grant newspapers
By the same rule, the TribuRe in the same
city might be quoted as Republican author
ity. The truth is, thece two papers have
changed places for this campaign.
Horace Greeley is to deliver the opening
address at the Maryland Agricultural Fair in
October. The farmers of "My Maryland
appreciate what he "knows about farming,
aud will help him to weed out the dead beats
from the National grounds at Washington.
The Missouri Democrat, Grant organ,
says that when Greeley retired from the
Tribune, cit collapsed like paper balloon. "
Yet many Of the same stripe swear that
Greeley did not write for the paper or con-
troI its columns. Consistent fellows
Lyons, President of the Louisville Con
vention, is hugely disguised. He was will
ling to run himsef, and thinks tie Conyen-
ton made farce Of the whole business by
forcing the nomination on a man who won't
take it. As for Adams, Lyons refuses him
on any account.
