POLITICAL NOTES.
FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

afraid Of either of the first named
gentlemen on the stump.
In four States, Vermont, Maine,
Arkansas and Alabama, all Of which
voted for Grant. the Republicans
lose 1900 votes or nearly on-quar-
ter of the entire vote of both parties.
The Tennessee Radicals have
heretofore denounced every member
of their party wEo had the independ-
ence to vote for a Democrat-even
though that Democrat had been a
consistent Union man during the war
as having sold himself to the rebels
are now. if possible, more bitterly
denouncing Yardley because he will
not get out of the way and give
them a chance to vote for an ex-
Confederate General.
Carl Schurz, in his speeches for
Hayes, told too many disagreeable
things on Grant; Grant had him
stopped. In addition to telling the
truth. he also prophesied Republi-
can defeat in Ohio and Indiana. OFF
with his head. 1t is off. 1t is sad
for Carl.
t'For when he thinks on vot he is,
And vot he used to vos,
He thinks he's throwed hissef away
Without sufficient CO.'S"
The Republicans propose to carry
the coming Presidential election by
the bayonet. The Democrats pro-
pose to carry it by the ballot. Note
the difference, ye lovers Of freedom.
Belknap has concluded to emigrate
from Washington, and has sold his
house for 10000. The deed was in
the name of that prince of Republi-
can leaders, Boss Shepherd.
The Boys in Blue" will change
color next November. Union men
will then make them look "black and
blue" whilst their officers carry the
white feather.
Reform in the party" is the hum
bug of the day Sclurz has been
snubbed by Chandler, who is Hayes
dirty henchman, because he said
Grant administration was corrupt.
Democrats will remember that, if
other States thow as great changes
as Vermont. Maine. Arkansas and
Alabama, Tilden's majority over
Hayes will be greater than Grant S
over Greeley.
Present indications point strongly
to the fact that North Carolina will
certainly go Democratic at the en-
suing State election by arespectable
majority. Wade Hampton's chances
iu South Carolina are also looking
brighter.
Democrats in all parts Of the coun-
try will be rejoiced to learn that
Senator Thurman's powerful voice
will be heard constantly in the can.
vass from now until election. No
voice is more powerful, or will have
greater part in bringing about the
final triumph.
From Carter to Shelby the good
work goes on. Tn almost every couu.
ty Tilden und Hendricks clubs are
organized and an enthusiasm mani
tested in support of the Democratic
ticket unknown since the excitement
i of 1914. Tilden's majority in Ten
nessee will be $4,000.
Poor Dorsey b. Thomas ! he said
at Lebanon that he intended to vote
! for TiIden and Hendricks. That re.
mark has brought the radical press
Of the State down on him like an
avalanche. and informs him that he
must look to the Democrats for votes
What, where is he? The Democrats
won't claim him and the Republicans
have thrown him off. A las, poor
Thomas!
Look out for troubles in the South.
The Radical party is bound to have
the shirt stained if it can be done.
Its existence depends upon riot and
blood shed. The Radicals in South
Carolina are doing all they can to
keep up a bitterness between the
two races, and right we'll are they
succeeding.
If you elect Tilden, Tilden will be
President. If you elect Hayes the
Lord only knows who the President
will be. 1t may be Conkling, or
Morton, or Blaine, or old Simon
Cameron, or even Boss Sheperd, or
possibly regency composed of the
whole gang. The people should take
no chance in such lottery,
"When," says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, ''such men as Columbus De-
lano, w. w. Belknap, Babcock and
Boss Shepherd, fall into the line and
shout themselves Loarse for Hayes,
is it any wonder that honest men get
out of the Republican party? Hou-
est men feel as did the Irishman who
had a horse that commenced kicking
when he was in the buggy. BE
jabers, said he, IF you are going TO
get in, I'll get out
The Republicans may be expected
to fight desperately this fall. With
them it is the struggle for existeace.
With them it is victory or annihiIa-
ton. The concern is on its last legs.
We feel it in our bones. 1t has out
lived its mission, if it ever had any
but plunder. As the little darkey
said to the last yellow legged chick
en- on the fence-pannel. Its no use
yer dodgin'-the preachers come
an yer bound to die
Business Men on Mr.. TiIden.
Messrs. Cleavland. Brown & Co.,
say of Mr.. Tilden :'.Every member
of our firm has, we learn on inquiry,
voted for the Republican candidates
in every Presidential election since
the formation of that party. But
the considerations do not influence
