National Republican., 1873-09-22
POLITICAL. NOTES.

GEN. ANEs pronounccs bis campaign In
Mississippi as successful thus far, and Ia sure
that he Is TO become the next Governor Of
that State.
THE Alcorn Democrats In Mississippi are
called tho ''Terrapin party" because their
candidate, Acorn, once snd to them, when
he was not their candidate, that "thcy crawlcd
upon their bellies"
SENATOR BRowSLow, It is announced, will
not be candidate for reelection. There Is
q strong pressure on the part Of his friends
In Knoxville, and throughout Tennessee, to
induce him to revive the old Knoxville Wing,
and the impression prevails that he will do II.
CxsARIsx, like ncpotism, teapotism, alco-
holism, deadheadism, and all the other isms
that have been invented to ipjurc General
Grant with the people, have thus far proved
failures. Nay, worse than that-completc
hzzles. We expect soon to hear him accused
Of Mormonism.
THE cry Of the Contcdcratcs Of last fall Is
revived In Mississippi. The Brandon Repub-
lican says that II hates Alcorn. but would
vote for the devil rather than for Amcs.
The anything to beat" etc, lesson Of 1872
should have taught tho Democracy some
| thing.
| The New York Methodist Adoocd'e does
not profess to be q political sheet, but In q
leader on Southern Reconstruction" the cd
itor intimates that the shortest way to recon.
struct the South Is to hang JEFF. Davis for his
trcasonablo talk and make Ben Butler Presi.
dent Of the United States for the next fouI
years.
THE Pittsburg Commercial says: "whilt
Missouri remained Republican State she
was well governed, and her State debt wa,
/ thirty N, thtrtnan mil
the moment she passed into Democratic hand,
the policy of paying of the State debt wa,
abandoned, her treasury Is now empty, and
her people are the prey Of mobs, robbers ant
bandits Of every description. There Is nc
worse governed State In the nation, unless II
be Democratic Kentucky"
The Cincinnati Times sees rainbow o
promise In the political skies of Ohio, and
says "The signs are unmistakable that tn,
people, confding In Republican promises and
abhorring the idea Of again intrusting power
TO the spoiled Democracy, so long and sc
Justly repudiated will give decisive victory
In favor OF the Republican party at the com
ing election In Ohio. All real friends of re-
form should help to render the coming defea
Of Allen and Thurman as overwhelming a,
possible. Then, should there be failure o
the effective reforms demanded, let the issut
come between whatever Is good and bad
right and wrong, in the several branches o.
the government"
Mn. THOMAS II. SrEAKMAS, Of Philadcl
phia, the st. Louis Democrat thinks, Is an Gu
terprising gentleman, who has published I
noteworthy pamphlet lie thinks 1t woult
be shame for the centennial sun to ris,
upon the birthplace Of our national indepen
dcncc and find 1t under the domination Of I
"ring" Of corrupt politicians. He calls upoI
an Outraged community" to rise In Its nigh
and drive official rascals from their places
and predicts that q thorough cleansing Of th
city from Its official corruptlons Is work o
easy accomplishment # 'the spirit of ou
forefathcrs Of 1776 Is to be found amongst u
at the end of century" No finer contribu
tions, says the Democrat, to the attraction
J of our national centennial could be desiret
than the spectacle Of a company OF Philadel
phia officials who had never corrupted the
ballot-box or stolen the public money. May
We be there to sec.
THE jackson (Mich.) Citizen says Of th'
Republican party and Its policy: "The Re
publican party itself initiated the Credit Mo
biller investigation, and the party and pres
have unanimously denounced tue back-pa!
system. The fact Is, no political party ha
ever taken more independent stand on an,
question than the Republican has on these
0 and all others Of political morals. 1t will no
a tolerate the slightest departure from the lin
, Of political rectitude, and Is more than deter
, mined to hold all public officials to q strlc
account. Always the party of reform, II
|, now more so than ever. No official stands s
: high In the party, or has rendered II sue
u service, that 1t will tolerate from him an
. malieasance, Pcculaton, or triiiing with tn
public rights
