POLITICAL NOTES.

Not an ex-President left.-Erchange.
Fortunately there are plenty Of would-be "nextn
Presidents still left.
The following ticket was elected in Kentucky on
the I'd inst, all democrats :-Goveronor, James b.
McCreery; Lieutenant Governor, John O. Under
wood Attorney General, Thomas E. Moss; Audi
tor, d. Howard Smith; Treasurer James W. Tate;
superintendent OF Public Instruction, II. A. M.
Henderson; Register of Land once. Thomas d.
Marcum. Governor McCreery will be the young
est man ever inaugurated Governor OF Kentucky,
being only forty years OF age
The Boston transcript thinks that Governor
Harlan, the leader OF the republican "forlorn
hope" in Kentucky, will be blooming up'' as a
Southern make-weight to o national ticket If he
doesn't take care.
An Eastern republican paper has the following
advertisement:-'Wanted first class Ku Klux
outrage for use at the autumn elections"
Celored republicans in Tennessee, it seems, are
becoming FESTIVE in party traces. At a late meet

view of determining their future course in poll.

southern men had been better friends to them

people TO act; he wanted them to act in Memphis,
and thought it best for them to continue 10 hold
their meetings and pass resolutions.

Southland since the war is breaking, and the Sill

F0rley's Washington sunday Chronicle regards
as zone OF the remarkable signs OF the

there mas been no complaint OF Kuklux outrages.

Rnished statesman's experience, vigilance
and proDity. You can imagine, therefore, my sur
prise and astonsbment in reading report Of an
interview in your valuable newspaper between a
reporter and Mr.. John Morrssey, in which Mr..
Morrissey is represented as describing the innu.
ence he possessed over Governor Tlden, and the
fact that the Governor frequently came to him for
counsel. Now, sir, l visa Mr.. Morrissey no
harm, other than what the law will DO
him. have no doubt he is an hon.
est man as far as gamblers go; but l read
the laws, and ind under them gambling is an
offence and those who indulge in 1t amenabe to
punishment Yet we know that Governor Tiiden
Is the custodian OF the public interests and charged

that John Morrissey is an avowed and conspicuous
law-breaker. How, then, can we reconcile the Ia
timacy that exists between the Governor OF the
State and this breaker Of the laws with tue duty
which Governor TllOen owes society?

true that Mr.. Tlden stands Ia thls relation to Mr..

AN INDDSCREET FRIEND.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Comptroller Green Is retailing everywhere the
statement of John Morrissey regarding Governor
Tilden and Mayor wickham. MIR. Green Is
friendly 10 the Governor, ana claims credit for
him for his alleged rebuke or Mayor Wickham's
proposition TO get rid OF a disagreeable Official.
But Mr.. Green forgets that the Governor would
be seriously damaged In tue eyes OF all reputable
citizens II the story that he made confdeD tlal
friend OF q gambling house-keeper and expire
fighter should be believed. For myself, cannot
credit that the Governor would hoD-nob with
john Morrissey and trust him with his secrets.
TO a man OF Morrissey's antecedents and
present pursuits for political purposes may in
some eyes be par0enabe. 10 take such person
TO his bosom, counsel with him and conhde IN
him, would certainly be unworthy of the Governor
