POLITICAL NOTES.

OSh0bOA ShIOh1 Va NOW yin,
one of the great Reformers of the
present Liberal movement, once
stole five hundred dollars that a
friend sent by him to Albany, New
York. After swearing he was rob-
bed, the money was found in his
room at hotel.
Last year the New York Tribune
called B. Gratz Brown second rate
editor.
The Chicago Tribune, now so
furious for Greeley, once said of
him that he sis not now and never
haze been, a man who ought to be
trusted with an official position re-
quiring practical wisdom, ordinary
craftsmanship; or firm, consistent
action"
If Greeley is elected it will be by
three million Democrats and few
hundred thousand Republicans. Is
it reasonable, or in accordance with
all past political action, to suppose
that those who elect him will not
control him and run his admins
traiion? The man who supposes
that the handful of Republicans
who support him will influence his
course to any great extent, is GER
tainly badly fooled.
Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts,
one of the purest and ablest men in
this country, and for some time a
member of Grants cabinet, says of
the President: "For one year and
part of another had the honor of
being participator in the councils
of Gen. Grants Administration
and desire to testify, and believe
that what 1 say in Massachusetts
will be accepted as fact, that during
the whole period in which was in
the Cabinet councils never heard
any measures of the Administra-
ton discussed or considere except
with single reference to the public
interest. Inever heard a personal
suggestion in regard to his infiu-
ence upon one man or another man,
but the consideration simply was
what would be the best for the
country. And when l remember
the simple, clear-headed, practical,
modest man, who sat at the head of
the table there, and then hear him
talked of by Mr.. Sumner, / think
Mr.. Sumner must be referring to
somebody else"
The colored Liberals of Kansas,
consisting of Bill Matthews, held
mass meeting at Leavenwerth last
week. 1t was enthusiastic and
unanimous as well as solid.
D. B. Emmert, of the Humbolt
Union is doing good service upon
the stump for the Republican cause
in Southern Kansas.
BLOODY CHAsM TALK.-Vote the
Democratic ticket or we'n "cut
your hearts out" say the ''peaee
and reconciliation" followers of
Greeley to the Republican negroes
of the South. "The time of the
soldier has passed" says the Liberal
Sumner. The Pittsburg soldiers,
many of whom were made cripples
for life by rebel bullets, and are as
brave men as ever lived, are "dead
beats, ""bummers, "tools, ""pimps"
and ''the basest men who disgrace
the name of soldier as well as citi-
zens," said the Liberal peace and
Madison Democrat.
of the election of the
Liberal Schurz prophesied that the
South would have to eight fire
with fire; force with force" and |
added that ':the country would wit
ness the deplorable results seen now
in Mexico and South America"
How is that for a Senator and po-
litical teacher of Liberalism in this
free Republic?
ANEoDoTE OF GRANT.-A CORES
pendent of Louisville Commercial
says: AvoIunteer soldier of the
late war, with whom 1 am acquaint-
ed, man of trust and honor, who
was with Gen. Grant at Vicksburg
md other important places, tells
he following: "A fop of lieuten-
INT, with $500 suit on his back,
Kicked a soldier, who, among others,
vas unloading . boat but as the
lieutenant thougbf, rather slow. A
common looking man, without

md enquired of him the company

He named them. Said the man
shoulderstraps, $50 and
eport yourself to your superior

rest-fallen, and the General rolled |

Wonder if that lieutenant will s
