POLITICAL NOTES.

Why are the Administration organs 80
nervous about the third term discussionf Has tho
signal been given that there must be profound silence
on the subject In order that the project may thrive all
the better 1t looks So
gPreparations for the Peoples campaign In
Missouri are about completed and snow that vigorous
canvass will be made. There to be mass meetings
in each Of the Congressional Districts at all OF wncn
Senator Schurz and Major Gentry the nominee for Gov
ernor will speak The OF these will take place at
Hannibal on Saturday evening next.
Gen. John F. Farnsworth, who has been
nominated on an independent ticket for Congress in the
WITH Illinois District, will begin his campaign In
speech Rockford the 10Th inst Reports from the
district say his prospects Of election are very good
his sound views on the currency are more popular
than initiation sentiments OF his opponent Congress
man HuriOut.
There is a green hand on the crank of one
OF the Washington organs and that decorous nstru-
ment OF Administration will is grinding out sadly dis
cordant The next day after the President
issued his order extending the Civil Service rules 10 the
Boston Custom house, The Washington Chronicle con-
tanned this amazing paragraph: misrepresentation
Samuel Sheabarger OF Ohio is in the city for the pur-
pose OF converting the Civil Service Commission Efforts
to revive spark life in the expiring principles OF the
Civil Service Reform system, socaed have been aban
doned but arrangements Will be made 10 dispose Oh tue
effects OF the nearly defunct system preparatory 10 s
final dissolution" Even much desplsed independent
newspaper couldn't have uttered more unknd trutn
noisy naonists who have conrived co represent the
Democratic party in Ohio than the nomination of Henry
b. Payne for Congressman in the Cleveland District.
Mr.. Payne was of the leaders OF the De-
mocracy in the days Of its power. He had
no share in its control during the anti-war
record and he brought forward, at the request Of
men Of both parties, certainly not through his own wsh
but because there ADLER sounder
sentative VI the odfashoned faith in hard money the
honest payment OF public debts aud
return the purer administration
public trusts. Mr.. Payne may not be elected but t !.
always a thing of good omen when men ike him. OF
stainless character and conspicuous ability are sought
for the offices.
Congressman Moses w. Field of the Ist
Michigan District very return to Congress-
and has succeeded in getting himself renomnated. He
is of the who labored under the halucinaoD az
the last session OF Congress that the West
unanimous for imitation. When he reached homo he
found himself badly mistaken, and has since caused H
to be given out that he has been consistent hard
money" Some OF those persons who delight in the
resurrection business have been examining the states
manlike illusions OF Mr.. Field in The ConGressOnat
Record and from speech they have extracted the
following sentiments hard money: The fiction
and swindle called specie payments" the swindling
mockery and snare called specie basis" the doubtful
deuson and cheat called specie basis" coin swinJle
1t is nonsense to talk OF money being redeemed"
Buncombe reads well to its author the day pub
lished but 1t seldom keeps well. Mr. Field is who
IA we'll calculated 10 shine In private life. His
constituents ought 1t that he is allowed TO do
Col. James o. Broadhead, who has for years
been considered OF the wheel-horses" OF the Mis-
souri, Democracy, has "gone back on the party"
Having invited to take the stump for the Demo-
cratic State ticket he responded In this While
can never Justify the acts OF reconstruction or the
plumber Of the Southern people in the name Of loyalty
cannot admit that q upon the Radical party must
needs be O upon Union men. Such, believe firmly,
is purpose and spirit Of those having charge Of tho
Democratic organization OF Missouri. Tie tone and
language organs the spirit Of the address OF the
Central Committee and much that done at the State
Convention satisfy the most careless observer OF
this fact For my part want Of such Democracy.
I would not oppose Mr. Hardin because he was not
Union favor Mr. Gentry because he was Dut
when that issue Ia distinctly made, and am told that
Democracy rebellion, there but one course for
TO pursue. Its doctrine on the currency
question leads TO reputation and springs mainly from
the fact that the Govern bonds issued TO raise
means carry the war; and hostility TO Union
shows that 1t still harbors that yearnng for re-
venge' that must inevitably eliminate IN awlessness
aud disorder which will paralyse the industry OF our
State and drive migration from Its borders And am
sure that IL the people Of Missouri satisfied that
the success OF the Democratic party In this State would
cerements, they would have none OF It,"
