Campaign Notes.


The campaign is progressing finely in
North Carolina, ,ani Vance is helping it along
by making secession speeches.
The Atlanta, Ca, Commonwealth pub
fishes poem eulogizing John Wilkes Booth.
In the next column is an editorial urging the
the election of Tilden.
Blue Jeans Williams is veritable son of
the soil, who knows how to reach the hearts
of the Indiana people by wearing his panta-
looms inside the legs of his stockings.
Hon. J. Morrison Harris has been nomina-
ted for Congress by the Republicans of the
Second Maryland District, and it is believed
he can be elected.
The great Samuel Fenton Cary has broken
loose in another open letter to the people of
the United States. What crime has the
people committed that it should be thus
afflicted!
Some twenty years ago the Boston Post, in
alluding to Charles Francis Adams, who was
then before the people for an Office, said "the
mantle of his fathers greatness fell on him
and smothered him."
Said the Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic)
of June 25: "Tlden as 'reformer' is good.
1t would be difficult matter to find finer
specimen of the human wolf than this re-
markable Tammany politician, railroad un-
dertaker, and constituencies attorney"
The destructive Democrats of Wake county
North Carolina, have resolved to confscate the
railroads which have failed to pay the interest
due the State, to impeach the judges, and to
remove all the United States officers who
have extortioned and Imprisoned the best
citizens Illegally"
South Carolina Democratic papers are
printing the rebel war records of their candi-
dates for State officers. Of one it is said that
he participated in the grand movement of
General Jackson, "hurling McCIean's ad-
vance forces back into Maryland" and that
his was ga MILITARY career of which any Car
Gilman might be proud"
General Stewart L. Woodford opens the
campaign in Delaware by speech at Will
mington on the 9th instant. He will then
make reply to Senator Bayard's attack
upon him at the recent New Jersey Demo
cratic Convention. There promises to be
music in Delaware, and the Republicans, who
recently swept Wilmington, believe they can
carry the state.
The fight against Gen. Garfield is based
mainly upon his attitude on the silver ques-
tion. The Republicans who oppose him are
infationists, who are not able to forgive i'm
hnaauco ho xroc in favor of ho
public debt in silver. 1t would be credit to
any man to be defeated for an act so plainly
right as that, but there seems to be no reason
to fear that the General will fail of re- elec-
ton.
Samuel Jones Tilden's own biograp hers
claim for. him that the blood of the Cromwells
flows in his veins, he being the descendant
on the mothers side of marriage between
one Jones and sister of Oliver Cromwell,
the usurper, who, after having smitten the
Irish hip and thigh with the sword of the
Lord and of Gideon" and remorselessly
massacred. the garrisons of Drogheda and
| Wexford, strangled the English Common
wealth to build up his personal power on the
ruin of popular liberty.--Albany Times (dena.
The Oneida.couuty IN. ~ Democracy are
| in revolt from Gov. Tilden, because of this
piece of sharp political management: 81. l.
Quackenbush, ESQ.,: Dear Sir: Gov. Til
den expects full set of delegates from YOU
| district. No matter what the result of YOU
| convention, send in the names of three re-
liable friends of the governor as delegates
they will be admitted. Yours, Magone.'
The order was obeyed; the promise fulfilled
and the local Democracy say they won'
i stand that sort of thing.
