NOTES AND OPINIONS.

Springfield Republican: Tilden and
Thurman thus come to occupy the
front place to-day in the list OF Demo-
cratic candidates. Men Of character
and power and experience, men with
a strong political and personal capitai
behind them, they are the best repre-
sentative politicians OF the party. Inc
nomination may pass beyond them
because of the exigencies OF the cam
paign, but we believe II has already
come up to them, and VIII not go
back. There is small faction In his
own State bitterly opposed to Ihur'
man. but the same men are equaily
irrecouciled to Tilden, Governor, III
dan certainly stands to-day the a6lest
and the bravest representative OF po'
litical reform and administrative
mower that the Democratic party can
offer.
st. Louis Republican The torpedo
nm brella resembles in its outwaru APP
nearance the ordinary silk or COTTON
side-arm, hut its stock is somewhat
larger in diameter, and consists OF two
pieces. a hollow metallic tuoe anu
wooden piston, the latter forming .ne
handle of the weapon. Wlthih lnaS
mart of the tube which projects beyond
tha frame of the umbrella, and forms
what Is commonly called the point Is
inclosed a cartridge containing a heavy
charge of dynamite. This cartridge
can he pushed forward and eXpiodeu
s;mnlv by pressing the handle OF the
piston rod, and as the force OF the e., "a,
plosion is exerted on line Win .ne
tube, the cartridge can be firea Wl'no Wv
danger to the operator, especially II lie

internoses a shield against any posi-
BILE spIinters or flying fragments OF an
