POLITICAL NOTES.

The Liberal Republican Committee of st.
Lawrence County has called convention to meet at
Ogdensburg on Oct @ elect delegates to the Liberal
state Convention.
Republican newspapers in Pennsylvania are
prophesy1ng that their party ticket will have majority
of from $4,000 in the coming election. The Dem
ocratic Journals are also sanguine," but they don't
mention their majority in exact figures
The Springfield (ll) State Register of Sept.
90 contains the following: "LeT +. Parsons, formerly
Collector Of Internal Revenue at Pekn, yesterday
arrested on charge Of embezzling Government funds
1t alleged that there is deficit Of $1,000 in his ac-
counts"
The announcement that the Hon. George II.
Pendcton to enter the Ohio canvass In behalf OF
the Democratic ticket seems TO have been premature.
II also seems that the announcement made without
Mr. Pendetons knowledge for he refused to meet any
OF the engagements kindly made for him. and has not
manifested desire to make any on his own account:
Perhaps he does not feel over confident OF the success OF
the Democratic ticket thereby sharing III pretty gen
ersl belief
There is nothing which so harrOws up the
soul OF the average organ the assumption OF indie
pendence in the conduct Of newspaper. The Bangor
Mel Wing aud Courier is in a very bad
way upon this subject just now. 1t pub
fishes an editorial entitled The Political Iago"
meaning thereby the despised Independent
newspapers in which it calls them Journalistic cor
sairs whose main business 1t is "by the constant era
ton OF charge and innuendo To poison the puDc nd
against those who have been held In highest honor by
their fellow-countrymen." Suppose those highly hon
ored gentlemen not worthy OF their honors Is 1t not
time the public mind poisoned against themi
In spirit of sorrow rather than of anger,
The Boston Advertiser demonstrates with the Massachu
sets Republican Committee for allowing Supervisor
Simmons to lead it about by the nose. 1t says
We have no controversy with Mr. Simmons
personally We think he is unfit person to
hold Office under the General Government, and
we know that he has abused the confidence placed in him
by Republicans in Massachusetts, to the extent OF his
opportunity Need We repeat the instancesi Has this
community forgotten already the fortnghts campaign
carried on mainly under his eutenancy, beginning
with the calling OF the Boston caucuses without
notice and followed with wel-arranged and most
audacous scheme OF caucus packing such never be-
fore dlsgraced New-England community Whon re-
spectabe citizens smOthercd their indignation sul-
cently 20 ask for this unusual proceeding,
Because We have the power was the only answer
y0uobsafed TO them"
There has rarely been party which has
carried on It's campaign with such quiet good sense as
the Third" Peoples" party In OHIO From the nrst
they have had possible chance OF winning yet they
have organized in many counties aud have
had large and animated public gatherings in va
rous parts OF the State. The Cincinnati Com
mercial, the chief organ Of the movement, thus
speaks OF the candidate for Governor: Judge Collins
ia making series Of able and earnest speeches through
the State calling tho attention OF tho people to the good
works that are awaiting the Third party, and that can
not under any circumstances, be fully accomplished by
the old political organizations. The Judge IA mueh
pleased encouraged by the popular appreciation OF
his laD0Ts He Ia persuaded that ne VIII be eiectc
but he believes the party VIII make an unek
peetGdy large showing when tho returna ars Counted
