Political Notes.

Is not the colored man nearly right who,
after reading Senator Summers letter very
carefully, came to the conclusion that CHS
hatred for the President is stronger than his
love for the negro?'
A pious old Methodist thinks there is just
a mite of injustice in Gods dealing. He
says: "To think of Ananias being struck
dead for doing what Greeley editors are doing
every day is kind of hard.''
An observant traveller in the New England
States was ''quite surprised to find very many
Democrats in every town who will vote for
Grant in preference to H. G." He adds: '1f
Grant does not get three times as many
Democratic votes as Greeley does soreheads,
I am greatly mistaken"
"When we look around us in this country
what do we see?" says Governor Brown in
his Columbus speech. "Well, if we look in
the direction of New Haven, we see candi-
date for the Vice Presidency tight as BRICK
is the prompt, but personal reply of the Mis-
souri, Democrats.
Hans Bretman is in trouble. This is what
he says:
I'm brokcn-hearted Democrat
Volts vilted nit Grief and shame;
dels you vot der trouble ish-
doesn't know my name.
Und so / am in droubles
can't get droo mein he'd
Vedder I'm Democrat volts living
Or Democrat vot ish dead.
Governor Gratz Brown said. in a recent
speech, that ''the people of Missouri are all in
harmony and accord, and are engaged in in
dustrial pursuits" But he did not mention
some OF the pursuits not industrial, which a
portion of that people are prone to engage in,
such as horsewhipping unpopular preachers,
stopping railroad trains to murder passengers,
and hunting citizens from their homes, after
making chequer-boards of their backs with
hickory rods.
There is colored Greeley and Brown Club
in Indianapolis composed of a hairdresser
named Maharney.
A significant fact, and one not likely to be
forgotten by Republicans, is this: That every
rebel and Kuklux of the South, and every
shoulder-hitter, rufian, and Tammany pimp
in New York, is each in his own way, and to
the best Of his ability striving to elect Horace
the Presidential office.
e. NJ. Bailey, Esq, of Winthrop indignant
ly repudiates the scandal, that he is for Gree
ley. He is out and out, Grant.
The Augusta Journal says that the differ
ence between the Republican and Democratic
special trains to Gardiner last week was de-
cidedly noticeable. 1t says that the latter
carried less than sixty persons, while the
former carried two hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
voters, by actual count.
A large and enthusiastic Republican mass
meeting was held at New Sharon village Fri
day evening. The meeting was addressed by
Hon. VIM. P. Frye, whose remarks were
greeted with frequent applause and the Wild
est enthusiasm. Lancaster Hall was densely
crowded and many had to retire, for want of
room within. New Sharon Republicans are
in the harness and doing valiant work for
Grant and Wilson.
In accordance with call signed by 125
names, for the organization of Grant and
Wilson Club at New Portland, meeting was
held on Saturday, Aug. 10, at East New Port
land, and addressed by Hon. Hiram Knowl-
ton Of Skowhegan, aud Hon. S. d. Lindsey
of Norridgewock. After the gentlemen had
completed their speeches prominent Demo-
crat of New Portland came out strongly
against Horace, and endeavored to turn
brother Democrats from such singular coal
ition. In the afternoon, Messrs. Knowlton
and Lindsey spoke at North Arson. Consi-
derable enthusiasm was felt in both places,
and so-called Greeley Republican man is
hard to unearth.
Inc Bangor Wing says in view of the alb
surd reference in the Greeley papers, to the
reiaelVe proportions of the Republican Rally
ana their Disqualification affair, we may
state our information that the receints from
passengers on the E. & N. A Railway were
larger on the occasion of our impromptu ex-
cursion to Lincoln than for the two occasions
when those Greeley advocates held forth in
Bangor.
