POLITICAL NOTES.

It is hard work and not a tidal wave which
Will elect the next President.
The man who betted on Indiana has had
the alternate sensations OF winning aud losing Often
enough the past days TO cure him of that kind OF
gambling forever
The wonderful dispatches from Colorado to
the Tden Headquarters have got back that State and
are creating much amusement. The senders OF those
purely imaginary documents are pleasantly called the
"modern Ananiases" and the receivers and promul-
gators Of them let down easier as feeble-mnded
victims"
Politics makes curious changes. Only few
weeks ago there nothing too for the Demo
cratic journals South Carolina to Of CHIEF Justice
Noses Now that that distinguished light OF the bench
has taken occasion shut his eyes and 10 say that he
sees 10 armed in the state the journals aude
10 him with immense respect as the venerable Chlef
Justice" II must amuse Moses and Ills troo somewhat
The Republican gains of congressman are
pretty significant rebuke the sofmoney tendencies OF
the last Congress- The two hard-money Democrats who
stood out against the repeal tho Resumption act so
long and finally surrendered, Payne OF Ohio and Hay
mond OF Indiana both left at home Landers, prob
ably the worst in1atonst in Congress. is also defeated
and Holman the leading advocate OF the repeal OF tho
Resumption act, shares lne same fate. In Ohio savage
Vance, PoppetOn, and Hurd are replaced by III n VINO
vii Tepre!cnt hard instead o soft money. The principal
Imitation gain Ewing Of Ohio, who is probably one
OF the ablest sOft-mOney leaders.
II takes a Democrat to find out Republican
MANS The S1dcuse Courier has made this interesting
discovery: Let suppose that Blaine and Inger-
soil are working for nothing An intimate frend of Gov.
HAYES has already given out in the newspapers that
Blaine is TO have his choice Of Cabinet position II Gov.
HAYES is elected and there be question that his
persona canvass is being undertaken not much to
elect Hayes rs to give himself popular strength for tho
Republican nomination for President In 1880 II will
make little difference him whether he reaches this by
way of seat the Senate in the Cabinet 1t is his
Tn, .rs,n "a 70 b.y. lta ri
The extravaganza his rregious and The gross
vugarity his method Of expressing them have hereto
fore kept him out of any position in his State. The
decent sentiment OF tho people always reyoed against
his election to minor offices But now lngcrSOl IS
made Senator of the United States, IN return for
his services in waving the bloody shirt to hide cor
rupt Administration"
The Nation thinks it the "hight of alb
surdy" for the Democrats to think of trying to prove
Gov Hayes be Know-Nothing by the letter OF his
secretary to the American Alliance. and adds this
ment: Whether Mr. l. 5. Tyler, the secretary, is real
person or myth is Of tto consequence; but IL 10
OF consequence that any who receives promise
from them political support should, before thanking
I them and promising them cooperation, make up ms
mind whether he wants their support or not, ana
whether they ought TO have the cooperation OF hs
friends Presidential candidates have business to
write routine letters accepting nominations nom
people they do not know anything about any than
| Congressman have right to give routine letters
of recommendation TO people whom they do not mean to
recommend Any one who wants 10 be a candidate OF
the American Alliance be but in that II 10
his business to tell us so, and not first accept their
support aud then that Il has no meaning Al
proceedings of this kind have tendency To Increase he
iorIns party professions and principles, and are on ha'
account dclLOralizlnS"
