POLITICAL NOTES.
The Republican majority in Michigan at
the recent election was $4,000, gain of 1900
over last fall.
Washington, even in the zenith of his fame,
never made political speech. He could not
tell lie.
Ex.Gov. Andrew G. Curtin is being urged
by his friends for the democratic nomination
for Governor of Pennsylvania.
The Hon. V. B. Horton is the last promi-
nent republican to positively decline the nom
ination of that party for the Governorship of
Ohio.
If Grant should receive the nomination for

the election Of the Democratic candidate is
assured. The better class Of men throughout
the country earnestly desire change in the
administration, and they are constantly voting
with the Democrats to secure it-as the re-
cent election in Connecticut proves.-Boston
Courier, (Ind)
When President remains silent upon the
subject, it is natural to suppose he wishes
another election. The appointees of the
President can control every primary meeting
and every county and State Convention, if
they set about it. Hence the danger, appa-
rent at sight, that personal admiration or self
interest may defeat in convention the popular
wish, and thus defeat the Republican party

Had the centennial era opened fifteen years
ago. it is quite likely that the civil war would
not have taken place or would have been post
poned, on account of the exaltation of the pa
triotic sentiment. Perhaps it was better the
war should come then and be got over with
but from the revival ofthe spirit of nationali-
ty and patriotic enthusiasm in the centennial
season now upon us, we may confidently ex-
pect bene6cent and powerful influence in
reuniting North and South in devotion to a
common country.-Springfeld Union, (Rep.)

let's that the Centennial jubilee may witness
the burial Of all bitterness and bad blood, and
that the rust that has now for ten years eaten
into the weapons of the late warfare, may
never again be removed in preparation for

of the Southern people, and it needs no coer-

In refusing to bow to the clearly expressed
will of the people, the present leaders of the
Republican party have undoubtedly mani
tested their un6tness for the position they oc-
cupy. They have exhibited in all their recent
maneuvering low and sordid animus In
stead of being actuated by large spirit of pa
triotism and of loyalty to the highest princ-
piles of the party, they have aimed simply at
maintaining by any means and at any cost to
others their immediate places and power
Philadelphia Telegram, (Rep).
Let the Southern man receive the credit
due to the sincerity of his loyalty let him
feel that the North believes in his full sub
lection to the new order of things; let him
believe that he is treated as an American with
heart beating full to the pulsation ofa COM
mon patriotism, and brain teeming with the
purposes of a common glory and prosperity;
let him feel that he is not regarded as the
archplotter against the integrity of the Union
with reasonable thoughts and intents only
suppressed, not extinguished; in word let
him feel that he has the right to call himself
and feel himself an American citizen, and
then every man in the South can say: 81 am
a true Union man. ."-Raleigh (N. CO. Ne,rs,

The venerable Gen. Leslie Coombs does not
seem to soften with age. In recent conver-
sation with reporter of the Louisville Co,-
rier- Journal he freed his mind in this way:
II read the papers, but do not read political
articles. have so poor an opinion of Grant
that let all political questions 60, because
he is sure to be mixed up in some way with
all Of them. l think him the most reckless,
obstinate, and ignorant political prostitute
this country has ever known. Get that word
for word, now, as it's some more Of my polit
cal faith. He is in favor of third term, and
any number of terms, and if the people are
not careful, the politicians will have him elec-
ted. Then Gabriers horn will sound pleasing
