Current Notes.

Gov. Hendricks can spend more time in
saying nothing than any other politician in
the country. 1t is poor way, however, 10
make Presidential capital. Dodgers are not
popular at his time.-N. Y. Tribune.
In his speech at Warren, Governor Allen,
of Ohio, in excuse of his lengthy TRADE
against President Grant, said: at is true
that this is not a Presidential election, but it
has an almighty squirting toward the Presi-
dental election" And the Governor is one
of the squinters.
Gen. Garfield is hopeful that the Republi-
cans will carry Ohio by comfortable ma
jorty." He thinks the vote in October will
be the largest ever cast in the state. In fight
ing against imitation, he says the Republicans
are running against both wind and tide, but
with a full vote he is confident they will win.
There is way for making money as plenty
for the poor who need as for the rich who
need not. 1t is to authorize every person to
issue his note Of hand and to make it legal
tender. This is the perfected monetary sys-
TEN. We commend it to those feeble-minded
idiots who are,running the Ohio canvass on
the imitation platform.-Cincinnati Gazette.
Senator Ogelsby, of Illinois, spoke at Gin
cinnati Friday night, and though his remarks
on the currency question were neither point
ed nor definite, they were against imitation.
Senator Oglesby's colleague, John A. Logan,
is said to have received new light on finance,
with a change of heart similar to Senator
Morton's.
Iowa has state election on the same day
with Ohio, electing Governor, State officers
and Legislature. Upon the latter will fall
the duty of choosing successor to United
States Senator Wright. Ex-GOv. Kirkwood
| Iowas war Governor, is the Republican nom
| inee for Governor, and Shepperd Leti1eI
bears the Democratic standard.
Gov. Hendricks incoherency in regard to
current matters in his laie speech was quite
likely studied. After pondering the speech
| the hard-money papers of Ohio are of the
| opinin that the shrewd Governor still stands
s'fac:ng north -by.south" as to imitation. The
| Cincinnati Commercial thinks that it was a
s'solemn speech in favor nominally of the re-
election of Gov. Allen, without hurting hi:
own chance for the Presidency"
The Washington Star says: "The mixed
position occupied by Senator Thurman OF
the currency question in Ohio, calls to mint
the case Of young lady who applied for the
position of teacher of country school il
that State, not many years ago. Upon bein'
inte.rogated BY one Of the trustees for he
views as to whether the earth was round o.
fiat, she replied: will preach round or fla
as the parents prefer"
The Chicago Times, once the Democrats
organ of the Northwest, uses this choic
language in speaking of its old constituency
"The miscellaneous assortment OF tradinI
and huckstering office-beggars, political dead
heats and would be party truDcheon- flourish
ers who style themselves the Democracy ar
hopelessly divided into two bitterly hostil
political camps, which two camps are sui
divided into almost numberless factions, a
the interests OF the spectators, grog- -sho
keepers, penniless adventurers, old.stagers
new-stagers, bummers, &C., are different"
