POLITICAL NOTES.

1t is solely upon the support of the
angry and revengeful white population
OF the late confederacy that Samuel J.
Illden bases lis hope of occupying the
White House.-N. Y. Times.
We congratulate our reform House of !
representatives upon the suppression /
OF the fast mails. Now let us put an /
end to railways and telegraphs. The
work of reform should go bravely on
n. Y. Herald.
Great newsi Hendricks has discov-
cred that he has always been hard
money man. It took two conferences
with Governor Tilden to convince him
OF the fact, aad it will take a great deal
more to make the people believe it,
" I. Tribune.
The Lowell, Mass, Courier says; 1--WE
believe there has never been a greater
fraud in the reform movement than
Gov. Tilden, of New York, and we are
confident that the people of this coun-
try will see to it that no such man is
placed in the presidential chair
'Tilden's canal reform cost the State
0fNew York 100000. and Melted no
thing to the State The reform carried
ON in the Republican party within the
past year has Melted the government
over 5000, 900 to say nothing of the
constant increase secured by the hon
est collection of revenue.-LOuisrilIe

Precisely what is meant by uninten-
tional corruption in Indiana does not
appear. The Democracy of that State
must be harmonized, it is said;. and III
order to promote harmony the party
has agreed to call stealing living from
the State, ''unintentional corruption
for this occasion.-N. Y. Times.
The New Orleans Bulletine admits
that the Democratic members of the
House from Louisiana and other South
ern States have done nothing to advance
the commercial and agricultural inter-
ests of the South, And it might have
remarked with equal propriety that
they never will. That is not Democrat
ic policy.
The Washington special to the Chi
cago Tribune says that Postmaster
General Tyner is generally regarded
there as being admirably qualified for
the position to which he has been pro-
NOTED. He has done much to improve
the postal system, and while Second
Assistant P0stmaster-General he I'M
earthed the notorious nail-contract
frauds.
'.All the world wonders that Hamil-
ton Fish has remained in Grants Cab
met until now. n-ColTier-JOmnd 1t
has not been the fault of the -Democra-
tic press that he has remained. You
have been trying to crowd him out ever
since his appointment, just as you are
trying to do with TAFT now. But, af-
ter all, it is the privilege of the Presi-
dent of the United States to make his
own Cabinet.-Cin. Times.
. The Alabama State Journal in an ar
ticlereviewing the record of the DEM
Ocrstic party in that State, says: ''Ev-
cry position of the Republican party
which they assaulted they have since as
sumed themselves; and now they come
before the people without having re-
duced the taxes one cent, and boast of
their achievements as if they could for
ever deceive and hoodwink the tax-pay-
ing citizens of the State"
The Republicans of New York in the
following preamble to q set of sensible
set of resolutions passed by them, shows
how ''Tilden and REFORM is believed
in there: The cry of reform as now
uttered has familiar sound to Us. In
times past its shibboleth was Tweed
and reform, - then 'Tammany Hall and
reform, and now it is ''Tilden and re-
FORM" 1t is the same bark. with the
same hair, from the same old dog"
w, L. Bancroft, an old Democrat in
Detroit, Michigan, very frankly says;
There is no denying that we want to
turn the Republicans out of Office so
we can fill them. The spoils of Office
are what we are contending for, and
by the grace of God. if we succeed in
this campaign the Democrats viii have

have been a credit to camp-meeting.
Here is what the venerable Thurlow
Weed says of Tilden HE did not go
To the front in the hour of the coun-
try's peril. His voice was not heard in
the time Of danger, and when money
was needed for the widows and orphans,
Ma Tilden's purse was not open. No
vote of mine shall ever aid to elect a
President who was not in sympathy, and
publicly known to be war man, loyal
to the core, ready with his voice, his
influence, and his means To help his
ceuptry and uphold her flag. Mr.. Til
nden was not one of these"
The Albany Journal says New York
is a Republican State on full vote,
and produces the figures to prove it.
Tllden's vote when he was elected Gov
ernof was 416, 391, the largest ever poll
ed for any Democratic ticket in that
State. AT the same time it was over
$1,000 Tess than the Republican vote for
Governor in 1872, when General Dix
was elected, and when the full strength
of the Republican party was brought
out by the excitement and Importance

The Vernon Banner, published in
Jennings county. this state, informs all
persons who lost farms, land or money
through the swindling corruption
known as the Fort Wayne and South
ern Railroad that the instrument by
which the swindle was perpetrated is
on Gle at the Recorders Office of that
county, and that Samuel j. Tilden was
the trustee" through whom it was ac-
complished. That was one of the ma
ny similar operations by which he made
money enough to buy the Democratic
nomination at st. Louis.
