POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

william Henry Clifford, son OF Judge Clifford
OF the United States Supreme Court, is the rising
sun OF the Maine demOcracy-ift the Maine demo-
cracy are entitled TO any sun. The Portland Press
calls them the ''noribund democracy" because,
probably, they want more of them.
1t is a. somewhat singular fact that most OF the
papers called Democrat hold republican principles.
and those called Republican hold democratic or
conservative principles. Witness the Rochester
Democrat, the st. Louis Republican, &c.
"Butler has swept Boston, Wish ne would come
to New York and try his hand with broom on
some OF our streets
Lynn is pronounced "solid for Butler" There
are few people In any city in Massachusetts who
have more sole than the people OF Lynn. They go
for Butler to their last peg.
Lowell is for Butler all over There are a good
many Massachusetts, politicians who would like TO
send him to place OF similar name, parted in
the middle with little ''hn
Western paper insinuates that it is the royal
'purp" and not the royal purple that General
Grant is seeking after.
The Boston Glooe thinks that the democratic
party OF Massachusetts, is pretty thoroughly de-
moraized, from the fact OF the slight interest felt
in the state Convention which is to meet at WOr-
cester this week.
Suppose the antrailroad monopolists in Iowa
should select a railroad president as their candi-
date for Governor, where's the harmP Is 1t to be
supposed that all railroad presidents are dishonest
or unworthy OF public confdence9
Edward Avery, Of Braintree is spoken OF as the
probable candidate OF the Massachusetts democracy
for Governor No doubt it would be q very good
selection, but the chances OF his election are so
slim that men Of moderate means had Better not
bet much on his success
The Boston Transcript AYERS that Boston was
carried the Butler delegates by the aid Of demo-
Gratis. That 10 the sort OF aid he Is likely to rely
upon If he expects to be elected Governor The
Transcript also predicts that Butler Will not get
more than third OF the delegates to the RepuDli-
can State Convention.
Not to give the idea too dramatic turn it
seems as II the Pennsylvania democracy were de-
termined to shake Speer,
