POLITICAL JoTT1Nas. Republican
house is on fire in Maine, and it will
take all the waters Of the Kennebec and
Penobscot to put it out. The Admins
tration party are dreadfully alarmed. In
their desperate strait, they sent the
thief" and the murderer" to get them
out OF their difficulty, and the murderer
paraded upon the stage q man in Ku
Klux uniform to frighten back to the
Grant ranks the men who were moving
through the forests of Maine to join the
Liberal party. But let it be understood
that the Liberals have not counted
Maine as on their side, and have made
no sanguine predictions with regard to
it at the election on Monday next. The
Radical Republican majority at the last
State election was 10, 63l, but at the last
Presidential election Grants majority
was %, 030. It is matter OF decided
interest to know what Maine will do
now; but the Liberals are quite safe in
their expectations.
Senator Schurz has had quite un ova-
ton in Indiana. He spoke at La Fayette
on Friday last to an audience estimated
at 5000. On the platform were forty.
seven little girls, representing the States,
who presented him with bouquets. At
night multitude, amounting to 20, 600,
were on the streets with grand toroh
light procession. The speech of the
Senator is said to have been one of the
most powerful he ever made. It is no
wonder;. he has been badgered and ridi-
ouled for being q foreigner, and other
wise in most scurvy manner. It is time
that ne should turn, like the lion, upon
his unscrupulous assailants. They will
hear from the great German oftener than
they wish before this campaign is
through. Mast, the caricaturist, is help.
ing out nightly to give force to the
blows OF the iliustrious Teuton.
The convention of electors Of the Lii
beral ticket in Columbus, Ohio, on Fri
day last, was highly interesting affair.
Each elector gave statement of his con-
clusions from the canvass thus far, an
the result was very cheering. The pros
pect OF carrying the State elections an d
the Liberal ticket for President was very
bright Senator Thurman made spi-
rlted and cheering speech. He was TO
preside last night at u grand meeting in
Columbus to be addressed by Senator
Trnmbnll. Things move smoothly in
Ohio.
The GRANTEES in Pennsylvania must
have ''smelt rat" One OF the Coun-
ties of the Eleventh District nominated
Governor Curtin for Congress-, but he
was defeated in the District Convention,
the vote being: Curtin. 64; a. Walton,
83. we do not presume to say how the
Governor will go, but taking this as
sign, it would seem that he is not much
for Grant
Rev. DR.. Ray. colored preacher of
New York, struck stratum of mmon
sense. in recent speech supporting the
Cincinrati platform. when he declared
that why go for Horace Greeley is
that he has always gone for me-for my
race. He has always advocated freedom
and equality. That is why I am for
him." Mr.. Sumner has urged this point
IN language more elaborate aud classical;
but there is sturdy honesty, not to
speak of an invincible logic, in what we
have quoted, which is quite as forcible.
