Current Notes.

1t is no wonder the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
keeps up the cry for "more money" 1t hes
the best of reasons for IT, During the cam
palgn gentleman of Chillico.he accepted a
bet OF l,OOO which a member of the Enquir-
ef company offered on Allen. and he is now
IN cincinnati looking after the money. When
ne Went to the bank where it had been depos-
lted, ne was informed that notice had been
given to refuse payment. He threatens 10
sue Tor 1t. Meantime the ENQUIRER will
doubtless yell for soft money more vigorously
than ever.
There are signs of animosity between the
friends Of Gov. Hendricks and Congressman
Kerr in Indiana. The former thinks his pros
psct for the presidency would be injured by
Mr.. Kerr's election TO the speakership, and is
said to be making strong efforts to prev ent
the Indian delegation from giving the latter a
united support. The Governors friends saw
that while he went into Ohio and labored
manfully for the cause Mr.. Kerr was sojourn-
ing in Colorado for the benefit OF his health.
and what they consider worst of all, Mr.. Kerr
mas made no attempt to disguise his pleasure
at the Ohio defeat. The Cincinnati Enquirer
is standing OF aud cryings'' boy to the Hen
bricks faction.
Judge Robert W. Hughes of Virginia has
written long letter on the financial question,
in which he says: "Until lately had sup
posed that both the South and North had
enough OF initiation to make them avoid it for
many generations. At the South it overthrew
ali our banks, insurance companies, and
money corporations, and DESTROYED all our
stocks OF every kind. In this and OF her WAYS
1t cost us the loss Of more capital than the
abolition of slavery itsef. All our securities,
representing the surplus wealth of the richest
people per capita in the world, which were
the accumulation of long years of property,
passed into the form of Confederate money
and became worthless. 1t brought us, before
to finance, is a state of barbarsm, and thus it
became almost literally true that a Richmond
housekeeper, going to market in the morning,
could take his money in basket and bring
home what he purchased in his pocket"
Gen. Cary has been discovered. A report
er of the Cincinnati Enquirer has hunted
him up, taken the raw oysters from his eyes,
and sounded the great man on the subject of
his defeat. The religious question was what
defeated the ticket, he thinks. He ran be-
hind his ticket because the brewers and sa-
principles. As for the future of the party
AMI of himself he talks beautifully: "The f1-
ture of the party is full of promise and of
hope. The war against the National! bank
monopoly will not cease until it is overthrown
and the issue of the currency..is restored to
the Government. The cup of my personal
ambition will be filled when the impoverished
masses understand the causes of their mis-
fortunes, and apply the remedy through the
ballot-box. They know little of me who SUP
pose that personal or sordid considerations
influence my political action. My abandon
ment OF the Republican party in. the zenith
of its power, and my adherence to the Demo-
cratic party in the poverty of its influence,
ought to vindicate the integrity of my mo-
tives. Though the Democratic party SHOULD
siay me- hundred times, yet will trust in
it because of my earnest conviction that up
on its success depends the perpetuity of free
government" "And," he should have
added, 'the only hope I have of ever getting
an Office" The General is also deeply
greved at the conduct of the "Tilden school
of Democrats"
