POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. Gooch declines to preside over the
Massachusetts, Republican Convention at Worcester on
Wednesday.
In case the Conservatives carry Virginia Mt
the election, is SAID that the Hon T. NJ T. Hanter
will be the next United States Senator from that state
b. D. Godfrey, who has been tormcntlng
Cen Butler with conundrums, sends some to TIE
TRIBUNE It il no wonder that Butler fled from him-it
these any sample Of the way he makes things be-
wildering.
Senator Thurman of Ohio delivered long
political speech at waverly in that State, on Tuesday
last which was devoted entirely to close and sharp
review OF Credit Mobiier back pay and other short
cOmngs Of the Republican party.
The returns OF the voting in California are
still very incomplete. Sacramento San joaquin Ala
media Contra Costa Santa Clara Los Angeles, Yoo, and
Cousa Counties have undoubtedly been carried by the
Peoples independent ticket. No ward in san Francisco
has yet given 1t is known however that
r. Crowley the Peoples candidate for Chei OF Police, Is
beaten by about $500 votes.
Eemarking that the one way for Mr.. Butler
70 escape a orging at Worcester next week Is for him

mass meeting recently, at which about 5000 persons
were present The sentiment OF the gathering il well
indicated by the following uterance of one OF the
speakers: Wo intend that political trcksters shall not
make up tho slate entire for US. We viii say to the
Democrats if they in power in our county or state
Give us good representative men, who will look well to
our interests or viii vote for them. SO we will
say 10 the Republicans If they In power IL they do
not ponder these things well their hearts now, they
will after the next election. We would not close the
door of Office against honorable profession or calling
of life We do not ask 10 MI all the offices ourselves
class There are good and pure men OF tue different
vocatons and We are determined to have them to the
front"
Expressing its conviction that the Democrats
OF Connecticut eated by their of last year. will
make vigorous effort to the Legislature again
in 1874 aud thus elect United States Senator The Aec-
London telegram Rcp.l declares that the Republican
party cannot hope succeed il enters the campaign
with milestone in the shape of a saary-grasber about
its neck Mr.. Kellogg, it says, is the milestone to
which we refer, and very heavy one too Ia close
State like Connecticut cannot afford to lug any salary
Crabbers The Waterbury American afirms that Mr.
Kellogg mas not drawn his share OF the grab but the
people anxious to hear directly from that gentleman
If Of the grabbers, 1t Is certainly TO be
hoped that he will make public encouragement of the
fact before the opening of the campagn The sooner he
speaks. the better WIZ be Tor the publican cause.
Ills continued silence Ia damaging to the party"
Since it took its position in the ranks of the
independent press The 81 LOUIS Republican has given
its old Democratic friends any amount OF good advice.
IL now says word to the Democracy OF Massachusetts
which, although IL comes little late ter the amusing
performance at Worcester Wednesday, Is none the
less true finds something rresistibly lnhcrous in
the hope which Massachusetts, Democrats entertain
of slipping in their candidate through spit In the Re-
publican ranks since they succeed In doing the
result would be nothing than empty of
TWO years Duration showing how little they accom-
psh after years eirt. What 1t wond have them do
would have been publicly abandon the idea Of NOM
mating and leave its adherents TO their own In
diyidusl preferences A Republican bolt would be
sured for each would hope to the Demo
cratic vote and would solicit it with all diligence aud
respect OF course there could be Democratic ticket
elected but would DO Republican ticket beaten
1T is not material which. We only advise that 1t Is
wiser for them elect either and beat the other
than repeat the threadDare and Improbable farce Of
putting up ticket Of their own which they cannot
elect and which, even IL elected. could do no good"
