Political Notes.


The Philadelphia North American, after a
calm survey of the political field, concludes that
Pennsylvania will give not less than 10000 ma
iority for Hartranft in October, and that the re-
puhlicanS will gain two congressman and the
| congressman at large. So saws a very well in
formed correspondent of the New York Times
A card bearing the names of 40 Seandina-
vians of Moline is printed in the Rock Island,
ILL.,, Union. 1t has been called out by state
ments that the Scandinayians generally support
Greeley. This, the signers of the card say, is
false, and they declare their determination 10 adj
here TO the republican party and vote for the re-
election Of Gen. Grant.
The Douglas county, ILL.,, Democrat, an ar
dent supporter of Greeley and Brown, says:
Con Tuesday last car load of shades passed
through our city on their way to Tuscoa, to
unite in celebrating the anniversary of the
emancipation proclamation. While the train
stopped here they INDUCED in vociferous cheers
for Grant What a burlesque on the right of
suffrage. when the franchise is committed to the
keeping of such specimens Of the animal king
DOM"
The Richmond, Va, Enquirer, democratic
journal which supports Greeley, says; "The
private life of the president has been very rudely
assaulted. We have abstained from any such
DChSllN dSSdulNSs lOI we nave lOO Hlgu q IGSpeCL
for the office, and we are too good an American
to believe the American people would have such
Z man as he has been represented in certain
quarters to be in that high position. The south
ern people have political and not personal obiec-
tons to Gen. Grant"
The Cincinnati Commercial acknowledges, in
sackcloth and donble leads, that the charges
made in the New York Tribune against Speak
er Blaine are without foundation. One of the
reasons why Mr. Blaine did not take a bride
from the Kansas Pacific railroad, to aid 1t in
congress, was that he was not in congress atthe
time. There are several Others, but this was
considered enough Even the New York Sun
shrinks from this atrocious forgery of fasehood,
| and saws: "Ihe name of Speaker Blaine did not
| appear on the list Of holders of Kansas Pacific
| stock
Some interesting figures respecting the recent
election in North Carolina are given by the
| Raleigh New Era. 1t says: ON the large negro
counties of the east the average increase of the
republican over the democratic vote was only
| slxty-four to the county. In the middle coun-
| ties, where the white and black population is
| about equal, the excess of republican increase
IS Seyenty-niue to the county. The great west,
which is comparatively white, gives the crafty
ing result of republican gain of ninety to the
county over the democratic increase"
A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-0cean,
writing at Harrisburg, Oct. 2, says: 81 cannot
tell you how absolutely Curtin has failed 10
carry anybody in this state with him over to
| Buckalew. If | were to tell the exact truth it
| would seem so improbable that it would get the
| credit of being partisan lie. Senator Cameron
was good deal concerned for day or two, and
made trip to Philadelphia to see what damage
| had been done them. He found none He was
not surprised at Curtm's position, but was as
tonished at his Weakness
A letter from Indiana says: ''In this state the
negro vote of 1870 was very meager. In hun
dreds OF democratic precincts negro voter
could as safely have offered an inspector the
head of live rattlesnake as a ticket. They
were inundated AMI deferred from trying to
vote, and where they did try they were usually
hustled off and abused Only in strong repub-
lican precincts was there any approach to a
fair negro vote. 1t won't be so this time"
