Political Notes.

Political Notes.
A CoLoRED Tilden club is actively en-
gagged at work in Richmond, Va. The or
ganization is largely composed of the
most respectable and intelligent colored
men in the city.
GEN. BRINcKERHoFF and Hon. Charles
Reemelin, of Ohio, who last year voted
for Hayes, are on the stump in Ohio for
Tilden and Hendricks.
Christian Union: The hope of the
South lies not in military government
from Washington, but in the awakening
spirit of chiyalry and courage in the too
long oyerawed citizens of the South as
serting itself and protecting its own
community by popular uprising against
the murderers and their speedy and
condign punishment.
New HAVEN Register: 1t would be a
very graceful act on the part of the
Massachusetts, Democrats could they
persuade themselves that the nomination
of Charles Francis Adams for Governor
was the wisest as well as the best thing
they could do under the existing circum-
stances. ANY man is good enough
Democrat who has Charles Francis
Adamss record, and supports the Tilden
and Reform ticket.
The Nation (Ind.): We cannot help
begging the gentlemen now on the Re
publican stump to support Hayes with as
little cant and hypocrisy as possible.
The Democrats have done nothing in
their Investigations of which the Republic
cans have not shown themselves fully ca
pable, and have set on foot no investiga-
tion for which there was not probable
cause on fair view of the condition OF
the public service.
CINCINNATI Enquirer (Dem.): With
the known strength of Tilden in the
East; with his rapidly growing strength
in the West and among the people who
believe with us, with the unmistakable
longing for change eyinced SO recently
in the elections, the situation would
seem to assure the election of Tilden and
Hendricks beyond doubt. But we
must work while it is day, for the night
cometh.
Ex-Gov. CURTIN will speak in In
diana and Ohio during the campaign.
He will devote month to the success of
the Democrats in the Hoosier State.
BALTIMORE Gazette: Hayesism will be
Grantism in a new dress. 1t is rooted
in the same soil, fed by the same corrup-
tions, led by the same men, elected by
the same machinery.
Ex.Gov. WIL1fzM A1LEN, Of Chic,
will cast his ballot in November for Til
den, Hendricks and Reform, all assertions
to the contrary Notwithstanding. He
will not, it is said, however. take the
stump unless Senator Morton appears in
Ohio with the bloody shirt, in which
event Uncle William will in all probable
ity go for Indiana's favorite ron in
manner that will make that gentleman's
hair fly.
ALTHOUGH it was the business of the
guerilla Moseby and his men, during the
war, to strip the uniforms from the
bodies of dead Union soldiers, and then,
clothed in them, to attack Union Com
missary trains and shoot down the team
sters, still that has not prevented him
from being the intimate friend of Grant,
and does not now prevent him from sup
porting Hayes and Wheeler.
PHILADELPHIA Chronicle: Why don't
the Republicans answer the facts of Til
den's great letter7 There isn't single
one OF them that dares attempt con-
troversion of Uncle SamuePs charges
that during the past eleven years the
people of the United States have paid in
the form of federal taxes no less than
four billions five hundred millions OF
dollars; that within the same period fully
two-thirds as much more has been paid
by them in the shape of local taxation,
and that the aggregate Of federal and
local taxation, to which the country has
been subjected during the period named
has been seven billions five hundred
millions, or more than three times as
much as the whole national debt.
"THE Democratic-C Confederate House, I"
says the Chicago Tribune, "with its
eighty TO one hundred majority, failed
to enact one measure Of reform" Here
is one very important reform measure
which the Democratic Confederate
House enacted:
