National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-10-23
POLITICAL NOTES.

The ofhcial canvass of the vote in Colorado for
Delegate gives Patterson, Democrat, AIS ma
jOrity.
The Reputation leaders grow bold. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer says that Daniel W. voorheesis
likely to be elected TO the United States Senate
from Indiana. The evil leaven works rapidly.
Senator John +. Lewis, Of Virginia, whose term
expires with this Congress, is the Republican
candidate for the House, against John 7. Harris
(DemOcrat,l in the Seventh Virginia district.
The st. Louis Globe suggests as Republican
candidates for President and Vice President or
the United States James G. Blaine, Of Maine,
and Joseph Medill, Of Chicago.
The Cincinnati Gozefte exclalms: ave do not
know Of q single Republican favorable to third
term. What's the use, then, Of talking about 1t ?
Furthermore, Grant neither. expects nor desires q
third term. The talk about third term has been
carried on almost exclusively by Democrats, and
only for political effect"
Democratic journals think that the North has
no reason to complain Of outrages at the South.
1t would have none IL the perpetrators were ever
punished. But the men who murdered Miss Julia
Hayden, young colored girl who taught school
in Tennessee, have just been released on 81 500
bail And now Governor Brown wants all the
assassins delivered over TO this sort OF State au
thority for trial. Justice sleeps in Tennessee.
The Harrisburg (Ps.) Telegraph furnishes the
following fact for the digestion Of Democratic
newspapers: Figures will not lie, we are told
but they disclose some startling facts sometimes
During the thirty years Of Democratic rale In
Arkansas twenty-six school houses were built
while in four years Of Republican sway 1.1lO
school-houses were built and 10000 children re-
ceiVed instruction"
Pennsylvania, says the Pittsburg ComnsrefcI,
has but one policy, and that Is inseparably iden-
tihed with the rights and interests Of labor
Democratierule means the abandonment OF the
policy Of protection to American industry. ssThe
first duty Of the party" said the New York
World recently, sis to elect tariff reformers to
Congress-" They did so in two Western States
the other day, and their success has set all the
organs and orators Of the party in this state
frantic with rejoicing.
The Atlanta Consfitufi0a extraas from the
comptroller generals books the following figures,
showing the property owned and the taxes paid
by the negroes Of Georgia: Number Of polls, So,
SIS; acres Of land SSs Top; city or town property,
q, 200 us; all other property, (personsl) e. 51S
800; amount Of money and solvent debts, $50, 1885,
aggregate value Of whole property, % 157 TOs the
value Of land is included in the aggregate value
Of the whole property Amount OF taxes I'D val
orem, 30TsSoe; amount Of poll tax, Sss,s SIS. And
yet the Democracy OF Georgia would crush out
we're II not for the strong arm OF the National
Government, all this native thrift and prosperity
The Democrats Of Indiana are making vigorous
preparations for concentrating all oftheir strength
upon the new election for member Of the House
in Knox county, which has been ordered for No
vember !. The county has hitherto been Demo-
cratic, but at the last election there was q tie
vote. II the next election is favorable 70 the
Democrats, they viii have certain majority in
the Legislature, and can elect Whomsoever they
choose for United States Senator. II the Repub-
licans are successful, the Independents will hold
the balance Of power, and can virtually dictate
the nomination.
