POLITICAL NOTES.


Committee are in financial trouble. The
men who have heretofore responded
promptly to all assessments are not fur
nishing the accustomed material aid" on
the principle that 1t goes hard to pay for
dead horse.
I5g The old cry of the Confederates o
last fall is revived in Mississippi. The
Brandon Republican says that it "hates
Alcorn, but would vote for the devil
rather than for Ames" The anything to
beat" etc, lesson of 1872 should have
taught the Democracy something.
"a The indianapolis tInd) Journal
calls attention to certain peculiar actions
of the opposition editors: "When Senator
Morton makes speech the Democratic
editors all over the land spring to their
feet and swear they are not hurt, but i'm
mediately clap their hands to their per.
sons in way to indicate they have re-
ceived dreadful kick, and then break
out against him in the most dismal howl
of abuse and calumny, which is continued
without intermission for weeks"
gTY-The Boston (Mass) Globe says of the
latest solution of the transportation prob
lem: senator Morton states that he has
in his possession proposition from emil
nent capitalists in Holland to build a
four-track railway from the Atlantic coast
to some point in the West, perhaps
Indianapolis or Chicago, the whole to be
accomplished by private capital, and
without asking for a dollar of State, ma
tional, or individual aid and he vouches
for the entire responsibility of the parties.
This is most interesting announcement.
We know of nothing that would solve the
farmers problem so quickly and per-
manently as the carrying out of such a
scheme"
The Cincinnati (Ohio) Times sees
rainbow of promise in the political skies
of Ohio, and says: "The signs are unmis-
taxable that the people, confidng in Re
publican promises and abhorring the idea
of again intrusting power to the spoiled
Democracy, so long and so justly repudi-
ated, will give decisive verdict in favor
of the Republican party at the coming
election in Ohio. All real friends of re-
form should help to render the coming
defeat of Allen and Thurman IS over
whelming as possible. Then, should
there be a failure of the effective reforms
demanded, let the issue come between
whatever is good and bad, right and
wrong, in the several branches Of the
Government"
tB- The Syracuse On. " J0urHdlsays:
"All of our Republican exchanges speak
hopefully, and indeed confidently, In an
ticipation of another splendid Republican
success in this State this fall. The basis
of this universal confidence is a sound one.
The Generalization of the Democratic
party is so we'll known and publicly re-
cognized that a concealment of itis no
longer possible, even by the legerdmain
of those experienced himble-riggen who
were, in former days, wont to deceive
their followers into the belief thIt the
Democratic party was to be hencefOth in
vincible. The rank and the file are dis
heartened by defeat; they have lostconfi- |
dence in the old-time watchwords which
once acted like magic upon their ,pirits
they doubt the efficacy of the Democratic |
name, and, in fact, they doubt them
selves"
G3@ The majority of the Democratic |
party is as determined as ever to reduce |
the blacks to subsection, and constitutions |
would be found to have abundap. loop
holes if they should gain the corfrol of |
the State and National Governments. |
Yet we see foolish colored men, ntoxi-
Gated with the notion that they ge the |
balance of power, resolving that thy owe
nothing to the Republican party, and pro-
posing to take themselves to market |
with the demand for the share Of the
offices in proportion to the need parties
may have of them. They compe us to
say that they are not marketabh COM
modify, and that only party which has
secured the hearts of the people by its
identity with the safety of the Reublic
could afford to do what the Republicans
have done for the colored.-CiataRati
Gazette.
rs The Lafayette Qnd) JOui'al re-
marks of Balloon Journalism" :" "The
Graphic is not the only, nor the lest, nor
yet the most successful specimcn)f bal
loon journalism. 1t is amusing tosee the
antics of other balloon journals, which
we may mention the Chicago T'rihne and
the indianapolis Sentinel, both nea home,
and the New York Tribune Abou a year
or more since several newspaper ren CON
ceived the idea of making capita out of
a mammoth political balloon, md it is
from them the Graphic got its hin. They
met and caucused and consulbd, and
finally concluded to send up eeat Lib
balloon in the ensuing
November. That experiment WIS a most
failure, and these newspapers
which we have mentioned, with many
others, are still in the upper ir some
where, floating about on fragme1s of that
great political balloon of 1872 with no
guiding power, but seemingl at the
mercy of the currents and cdnter-cur-
rents"
