POLITICAL MEMORANDA.

j. +. MACK, editor of the Sandusky
Register if talked of as a possible candi-
date for Governor of Ohio.
THE Republican State Convention of
Wisconsin, for the nomination of can
didates for State officers, has been ap-
pointed for July Z.
The Inter ocean dominates Chicago
as the city, and Exposition Hall as the
building, in which to hold the next Ma
tional Republican Convention.
The Minnesota RGdica! believes "the
fends of hell" must have taken a
Z" smile when they learned that Wrseco
polled 1853 votes for whisky and 80 votes
for temperance.
HARVARD is getting little jealous, to
be sure. The Boston Post delicately
expresses It's feelings in the following
formula: "To get an office-borrow
Yale diploma"
ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Star,
there is a "lurking impression" that
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, is the COM
ing man of the Democracy for the Presi-
Dental nomination.
The Hon. Willard Hall, for forty-eight
years Judge of the United States Dis
trict Court of Delaware, died recently in
Wilmington, in his 95th year. He re-
tired in December, 1871.
THIS has been poor year for members
of the New York Legislature, the most
corrupt of them not having received
over $500 each for their votes and infu-
ence during the session.
BURLINGTON HaWkeye: "Gen. Spin
ner is going down to Florida to fish. If
an eel twists and tangles itself around
his hook, the old Watchdog will think he
has caught his own signature"
MAYOR WIcKHAM, of New York, has
had engraved on his writing desk Talley-
rand's sad motto A." For every appoint
ment have made 1 have gained ninety
nine enemies and one migrate.
CANADA is fast learning political wick
edness. Within the past few days sew
eral members of Parliament have been
unseated for bribery in elections. In all
sixty trials have taken place for using
corrupt measures in elections.
The latest name mentioned in connec-
ton with the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency is that of Mr.. John w.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. The suggestion comes
from the Hon. Montgomery Blair, of
Maryland.
FRAUD has been discovered in the mat
ter of procuring appointments to clerk
ships at Washington. Some of the mer-
cenary Congressman of a low grade have
been detected in selling their patronage
to people who can come down with ready
cash. Where there is likely to be little
inquiry the Presidents recommendation
has been forged by Office brokers.
We nominate Major General George
Crook for President of the United States.
He has a superb record as a man and
soldier; has abundance of brains, and is
as resolute and silent as Grant.
Journal. Well, it's free country. We
nominate General Hooker. This makes
very nice arrangement for us and the
Journal, for we ought to be able to carry
the next election by Hooker by Crook
Buffalo Express.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, special says
that Judge Smith has dissolved the in
junction restraining the removal of the
capital to Wheeling, but suspended the
effect of the decree for nine days. The
Governor attempted to remove the ar
chives to the river, but was notified by
Judge Smith that he would not allow
him to violate the injunction. The Gov
ernor protested, but finally promised
obedience to the court. The case will
go to the Court of Appeals.
The Chicago Journal INDUCES in this
bright bit of sarcasm at the expense of
the chronic office-beggar. There is O
deal of truth as well as poetry in it:
"Do you remember the fellows who
used to come around at noontime and
tease you for part of your dinner when
you were boy atschool9 Well, if you
will trace them up You will find that
they are the same chaps-only grown up
that now spend their time hanging
around teasing to be elected to some
office, that theySay eat free of the pub
lie bread" ~
