Political Items.

How much an nti-Monop and an old
line Democrat rejoice alike over the
white man. victory in Memphis.
| For the encouragement of our friends,
from the political cemetery, we can in
| formed them that the Democrats have
carried Kentucky.
That distinguished Anti Monopolist, Raph-
ael Semmes, is again candidate for office
in Alabama, upon the Democratic ticket.
His disabilities have not vet been removed.
The Anti Monopoly party movement is
composed Of political shysters, dead
beats, sore-heads, and disappointed office
seekers, and is nothing more than an or
ganized hypocrisy.
The Republican Congressional Conven-
ton held at McGregor, was source Of
disappointment to others than the defeat
ed candidates Said saloon man: "Well
this is the dryest Convention that l ever
saw. If it had been Democratic Con-
vcntion should have taken in $3.50 to-
day
The Hon George W. McCrary has de.
clincd the Republican nomination for
Congress in the first district much to the
regret of great majority Of the people in
that and the other districts of the State.
The reasons given are that he could not
consistently accept after other gentlemen
had become candidates on his promise not
to be in the field
The Antimonop State Central Committee
held a meeting at Marshalltown, few
days ago: and its members are credited
will elect Congressman in the first, second,
third, sixth, seventh and ninth districts,
with hopes of the Others" What modest
fellows they are! Won't they feel dread
fully if they shouldn't elect a members
c. E. Whiting, the nominee Of the Anti
Monopoly party for Congress in the 9th
district, was their candidate last year for
Lieutenant Governor He is a politician
of the Bourbon school and stands no sort
Of show for election. The Convention
which nominated him was composed of
delegates from only about half the coun-
ties Of the district, and it was made up of
such belligerent material that it came near
ending in general row.
The wonder now is how this Stone,
which the Republican builders rejected,
has become the head Of the Anti Monopoly
corner. He is now hand and glove with
the men who have asserted that he was
dishonest; that his swamp land vindica-
ton was whitewash; and who have
asserted that he was rotten Stone any,
way. Did they believe what they said
about him them" Or is the mantle of
Anti Monopoly charity SO broad as effect
ually to ''hide multitude of sinss' Mr..
Stone ought to be more concerned that his
old enemies praise him, than that he is
denounced by old friends whose cause he
deserted because he had been dropped"
The Anti-Monops of the first Congress
sional district have found man to run
for Congrcss-Mr. Leroy G. Palmer, of
Henry county. Palmer was sent by the
Republican party, number Of years ago,
to the State senate; but only for one term.
His disinterested devotion to the people
since his retirement from that honorable
position is given as follows, he having
been an Independent: I'm 66 he nomin-
ated himself for District Attorney against
Judge Tracy; in 81 for Sentaor, against ].
p. West; in '68, for Judge, against Tracy;
in 80. for Representative, against 6atterth-
waite; and in n, for Representative,
against Newbold.s
He was skunked every time, which +
the proper diploma with which 10 enter
the party 0f Immaculates- where he'll b
sksnked again.
