POLITICAL NOTES.

Virginia has been suffering from "Platonic
War"
II is high time for Gov. Grover to emigrate.
This country already too warm for him.
The "Revised Statutes Of Oregon" Is the
volume ID greatest demand at the law libraries
The sanctity of an oath and the continuity
Of the telegraph wire in Florida will have more peace
full time Of 1t now.
Is the House of Representatives competent
n eleet President unless three candidates at least
have been voted for by the Electoral Cocgef
Mr. Hewitt is too ambitious. He ought to
have known that he enough to do in keeping his own
party straight ard in electing Tden without attempting
TO manage President Grant too
1t is a common enough thing for two per-
sons to CLAIM to DO one but Mr. Cronm OF oregon stands
alone In history as the and last who claimed TO
be plurality" Of u board OF three members.
Gov. Grover has already been called Benedict
Arnold l797 times and Judas IscariOt l653 times IL
seems TO be case Of unanimous verdict without consul
taton Even the Democrats fail to defend hin, which Is
the most startling condemnation possible.
The spectacle of party trying TO steal one
President and mpeach another at the same time has
been reserved for the Centennial year. The snecess OF
the experiment Will undoubtedly be so aInentabe that
second Trial will not be made for another century.
Sneaker Randall and his brethren viii have
tough Job Of 1t in trying to prove tina: the Twenty
second Joint Rule stn alive. It's death Is not only
officially recorded but leading Democrats are on record
As having made speeches at the funeral IL 10 clearly
another OF too much record
It Is in order now for some OF The eXquls-
ey sensitive journalists who have been calling upon
Gov HAYES TO withdraw from the contest TO make
similar request Of Gov. Tiden. This Oregon business
seems TO be pretty clear case OF fraud Perhaps INC
Nation will be impressed with the patriotic duty OF
making a solemn appeal In an " extra IL shoui" o0
done at once to be effective.
If the dispute about Oregon is not settled
til Congress ID axes the nal count in February the order
in which the States taken al that time VIII De OF
interest," II the order OF previous years is IohoWed'
Florida louisiana and South Carolina viii Do passed
upon before Oregon the custom has been to take the
States in geographical order, beginning With Maine ana
going through the Eastern Middle, southern and West
ern diysions II they are taken in alphabetical order
Oregon will still be behind Florida aud Louisiana thousn
ahead Of South Carolina
The attempt to make the country believe
that Senator COnkng had made UP his mind to come out
In speech demanding the counting In OF Gov Tiden,
seems to be dying Of Its stupidity. The Democrats
have been trying to him up TO the J0D y saying al
OF nice things about him and predicting the ame
he would acquire by such remarkable proceeding but
the Senator calmly upses the whole project by saying he
Is not thinking much about the Presidential nuddle any
way and certainly s not preparing any snch speech To
any except Democrat the absurdty OF trying TO
make bclter out OF Mr. COnklins would be apparent
Secretary Chandler seems to be spelling for
n fight with the Democratic House They have sent to
New-oreans for copies Of kilograms sent there from
Ney-York in the hope that they eau thus find evidence
unor which TO impeach him. lie does not seem to be
badly alarmed for he says 10 Herald correspondent;
"Let them bring their impeachment and show up any
teegrams have sent. I defy them to make anything
Ont of them and am prepared to stand their nYesti

There is no disposition to underrate the
Democratic capacity aud disposition to KICK up all the
disturbance possible rather than lose the Presidency
That the party means to fight, worst comes to worst

The Hon. b. f. Wade made some pertinent
remarks before the Ohio Electoral College on Wednesday
Ths main points OF his speech, given In The Columbus
JesrnaI were follows; "The nation Is in more crt
cal condition than has been at any time since, or
perhaps before the II Tilden bas majority OF the
electoral vote no difference how much may regret It,
We must stand by II Hayes gets the electoral vote
Re must be iraugurated. Anything short OF this would
