POLITICAL NOTES.

The Presidents reception of the New-YOrk
and Boston delegation has filled the imitation journals
with the most uDbounded delight .,..'.
The reform movement in Oregon starts out
with degree of popularity which already to IN
dictate its final triumph. 1t supported by the leading
Republican journal OF the State The Portland 0egOnan,
and many other strong newspapers of the party.
The two old parties have been pretty evenly divided for
several years past though in the election last October
the Republican strength showed great diminution.
There three State tickets in the field Republ-
can, Democratic, and Independent or Reform. The
Temperance party will nominate fourth on May G. Tie
Independents enter upon the campaign with the better
elements all parties united under their banner and
their ticket said to DO entirely good success ought
to crown their efforts.
The appeal of the Boston Financial Com
mttee for an organization TO secure a hxed stand
ard Of value ana the maintenance of national good
faith' meets with hearty approval from the Boston
press. The Advertiser says the language employed
means something, aud that the sgners Of the appeal,
who only inadequately represent the ample support
which the movement enlisted, prepared to make
the national good faith rayng cry for now party II
the logic OF events forces them 10 do So The Journal
saws the movement Is q worthy one, and III another
article audes To Presidents reception of the Bos-
ton delegation " extraordinary" The Globe Ard ne
Post agree in urging for the appeal hearty and gen
erous response.
This most gratifying assurance concerning
the sentiment of the West the imitation question Is
published in The ST. Pad Pioneer: We want TO enter
protest against the assumption of the Eastern press
that the people OF the West favor imitation. II Is the
misfortune OF this section TO be as badly
msrepresented in Congress on that as on nearly
every other public question Not public meeting OF any
kind board OF trade single citizen that we
have heard Of has petoned for any such stupendons
folly; and for that matter editors OF the most ntel-
gent papers opposed to 1t. While the public sent-
ment of the state is represented Washington is all
one way fact is that imitation cannot muster cor
poras guard among of average education in Min
nesoa" The complete failure OF attempt to hold an
imitation meeting in Cincinnati on Friday gives add
uonal force TO this statement.
