POLITICAL NOTES.

The "party of Reform hopes to succeed by
trick or breach of trust the chances it will not
be able 10 do either.
II is impossible to find Democrat who Dies
not insist that the 22d Joint Rule Ia still in existence
He doesn't why he thinks so but he is sure the
party needs the law, aud that Is enough. It's a very
profound view.
There seems to be o vigorous attempt to stir
up quarrel between the President and Gov. Hayes
That is the only explanation for the Democratic scnsa
tons published yesterday, which were pronpty ex-
yloded before the day was haI over.
The still hunt for that missing electOr is
growing hotter and hotter Every State from the At
lauc Pacific is secured for him. and all sorts Of
influences used to induce him TO appear. Whatever
doubt Republicans may have felt about the proceedings
in Louisiana will be in great measure removed by TINS
brazen attempt OF the Democrats TO cheat the people OF
unquestloned Republican states OF their will The
moral effect of victory thus obtained would not DO
peIceptibly great.
There are whispered suspicious that Gen.
Butler is contemplating return to the Democratic fold
The rumor las travelled far ST. Louis and Demo

asking him II it true and begging IL werc to ten-
der his congratulations The sly Benjamin, turning to
his well worn Bible, responded with this enigmaca pas

General should make up his mind TO reon the Democrats
what would be capable OF depicting the feelings OF
the Massachusetts, Republicans who have sent HIM to
the House to " stir up the rebel brigadiersf
A curious piece of abOrtive personal malig-
nifty appears The Boston Times which signalzes the
opening of Congress by rehash of the Blaine accuse
tio,s, devong q page OF and a column or two Of
editorial to the subiect-absOutely without producDga

ones II Mr. Banes enemies not satisfied with what
happened last Spring when he was last attacked, they
are quite likely find him ready to meet them again.
No Mr. Bon nd
rest need not be in the slightest There IL no
probability that Mr. Blaine will plead his Senatorial
pryieee and they would IKE 10 have INN on the noor
much TO doubt that they can be accommodated
There has been good deal of foolish talk
because Hayes failed TO carry the City OF Fremont. in
which his home is situated at the Presidential election
The Cincinnati Commercial shows how much ground
there is Tor the waddlc: "The majority of TilGen
Hayes the three wards Of that city 49, The fact s
that Fremont is Democratic city. and has been in the
habit giving large maiortes but the following figures
indicate that with Hayes candidate those majores
have rapidly approached vanishing point. Tho vote OF
that city for several years follows: In 1874,
