POLITICAL NOTES.

The third-term spook has retired once more,
and everybody cries good rIddance.
Seven Republican journals in Ohio are con-
vnced that the party ticket for President Is TO be
Hayes and woodord 1t the sad truth that tho rest OF
the party press treats this audabo and patriotic move
mcnt as joke
Judge jeremiah s. Black has been brought
out as Democratic candidate for the Presidency by The
Psbrq Post which remarks casually that be Is Penn
sylyap,as fayOre son. than whom none bear proudor
front in the forward rank Of fstatesmanship"
The Committee on Contested Seats In tho
next House OF Representatives will find material for the
entire Winters light reading the OF Judge Abbott

trict The papers in I'll box five feet long. two
five inches deep and twenty-one inches vide shd
weigh over half q ton.
Taking time by the forelock, The Albany
Erp feels called upon to remark that the Republican
candidate for Governor OF this State next year will Ia
either Congressman william A Wheeler Judge william
H. Robertson, or Mr. A. B. Cornell. il also decides that
Gov. Tden will not be nominated for the Presdehcy'
and will run again Tor Governor.
At least two Republican journals have the
courage to speak their minds the schenckEmma Mine
business The Rochester Democrat aud Chronicle says;
"If the charges sustanedand 10 hardly seems posi-.
bic that they shall not belt is incumbent upon tho
President immc lately TO recall him. and thus save tho
country burning disgrace that his retention In
Office will entail" Commenting IN a similar strain Ibs
yhiladeIph,n Inq,t,rer says: We confident tho
perempory recall OF Cen schenck explanations or
explanations would be highly acceptable 10 our pcop'
at this time"
Gov. Hendricks is in the field early for tho
Presidential nomination. He has organized Hendricks

quent intervals setting forth his eminent illness Tor the
Presidential chair He also 10 have begun opera

Conn,erc,ay from Detroit, that within tho
last few days friends OF Gov Hendricks In this state
have taken a series of adroit steps which promise to

cratic National convention"
The suggestion that it is now in order for
English admirers Of John Brown to put up statue Of
that hero Harpers Ferry does not seem to some VIZ
gnians by any appropriate as the gut of tue
sonewall Jackson statue. The Petersburg Indsx works
itself into IN especial fervor on the SUBJECT
1t cannot understand the degree OF fsnat
cism which blinds to the difference between
great warrior dying Of wounds received In open and
honorable field, at the head OF an heroic army, and
horse thief kdnappcr, aud assassin" On the whole The
Petersbur1 Inder can hardly bo rcckOned quite
judicial IN its tone Of comment upon prominent men
identified with Yrnian history as 1t may possibly come
TO be half century hence.
Commenting upon the conviction of Nc

too much to cay that the conviction Of Mcdonald Is nj

of a colossal evil which from small beginnings has grown
and spread until threatened to uproo all that IL pure
and sacred republican institutions aud finally 10 bury

Ex-senator Harlan has very comfortable
opnion of his political prospects. He told reporter OF
The Cincinnati Enquirer recently, that ho supposed bis
chances for being the Senator from Iowa were rs
good as any other mans in the state, an assurance
which, II founded in fact does not reflect an embarrassing
amount Of credit upon the State of Iowa. The exSena-
tor believes the rlgbaby is dead and that the next
Congress Will sink the financial question out OF sight ny
some compromise. AS for third term he thinks IT nos
improbable He does believe the President wants IT,
but there might be developments between now and next
Summer which would throw him at tho head OF the party
| again. His denomination by the Republican Convention
| wonld insure his reelection His denomination would
not split In the party for the leaders know that

Morton or COnkng. Hayes Is OF too small CALDER AZ
for the Democratic nominee, IL very likely 10 ne uei

worth mentioning. Thus the ex-senator hfts Tor Va
