Political Notes.

The Boston Post says: "The Tllden tide
is settling in strong again all over the coun-
try. Nothing but inexcusable laundering
or neglect on the part of the Democrats is
going to stem 1t between this and NOVem-
ber"
We have yet to hear the first Radical
stump orator mention Belknap, his sale oil
offices, his tombstone robbery and his tri-
umphant vindication of the votes of the
Radical United States Senators, who pro-
nounced him not guilty after he had con
fessed the crimes.
The Hartford Times says: "Tne way
HAYES went back on his war-horse was n
caution; bat that was nothing 10 the way
he treated his pet dog. He put the horse
into the tax list at $l2 while the dog was
assessed one year at $50, and the very next
year at 81 80 What u fall was that, my
cOuntTymen."
Boston Adcertiser (Rep.): II some of the
items i'll the accusation against TIiden In
the matter of his statement of income for
the year 1862 were fabricated, as they ap
pear to have been, the lie was allowed d
long start of the truth. For ourselves. We
have never attached great importance TO
the issue involved.
Mr.. Caleb Cushing, on reading Judge
Sinnott's explanation of Governor Tllden'
tax returns. stated to several gentlemen in
the New York Hotel that he considered il
to be complete and satisfactory" He is
d Republican. to be sure. But he is Il law
yer, and-he does not issue Il ''cdmpaig u
supplement-"
An exchange says: An old observing
Democrat has sure omen that Tilden will
be ected. The hickory nut crop this year
will be immense, thing that has not hap
pened since 1886. hen Buchanan was elect
ed. Hickory nuts in abundance, Demo-
cratic administration, good times and re-
form will be a great Improvement on bank
ruptcy, hard times and starvation.
Cleveland Plaindealer: zone hundred
thousand dollars ($100, 000) is the aggregate
of the increased bounty which U. S. Grant
receives for four years above the amount OF
salary paid to George Washington, to An
drew Jackson or to Abraham Lincoln, and
yet the party of Grantism refuses to favor
the equalization of bounties to the common
soldiers alter years Of false pretenscs ana
| sham resolutions to do So"
The morning of the elections in Ohio and
Indiana, the New York World the issue
of that day is now before US stated that
the Republicans would carry OHIO by about
5000 majority, and the Democrats would
have majority of about 5000 in Indiana.
| The last number is as much too small in
one direction as the first in the other, but
the accuracy of the Worlds estimates de-
serves notice and adds to the justice of that
| journals claims to intelligence and truth
| fulness.
Senator BayaId, of Delaware, says of the
order of the Encouragement turning loose
the army on the S 1uthern States: ''No doc
ument so partisan in character, so reckless
of all constitutional limitations upon power,
so regardless of historical truth, so utterly
nsubordinate to the decisions of the Su
preme Court Of the United States, has in he
history of our country issued from depart
ment; not only acting as all dep irtments
| should act, under the sanction of law, but
looked to by all other depart ments of the
executive as itself the fountain of law for
them"
In his Chicago speech the other day,
| Carl SchuIz said: governor Tiidep has
won his reputation as a reformtr mainly ny
the prosecution of the canal ring III the
| State of New York. will not follow 9th
ers in questioning his motive, but readily
| admit That prosecution to have been an en-
| terprise requiring considerable courage,
circumspectIon and perseverance, for which
he should receive full credit. Should he
be elected President, he will undoubtedly
| eject from their places, and, if possible,
otherwise punish, all the dishonest officers
now in the service"
| New York World: ''Iu sharp reply t.
| ali these income theories set up agaIns
Governor TIlden, we have only to say that
If Zach Chandler, as head OF the internal
revenue, will favor vs. with the income re-
turns Of Governors Hal es and Morgan,
from 1862 To 1870, we will underta k,
within thirty days to establish to the salts

this city that, on the moral and Legal
theories of the assaults made on Governor
TIlden. both Hayes and Morgan are perjur-
ers, revenue defrauders, ax-grabbeIs, ann
all the rest of it. We will include Chand

Not a leading railroad or other corpora
ton in the country but Is reducing the
wages of the employees, and yet the Repub
| lican press keep up an incessant paiaveI
about the revival OF good tImts." THESE
Republican papers must have a very poor
| opinion of the intelligence of the working
men of the country il they think they can
be thus easily deceived. WOrkiugMen have
| the best of facilities for knowing whether
times are prosperous or plnching, and they
are pretty unanimous just now that they
are being pinched worse in employment
and wages than ever before. The times
are hard. reform is necessary, and Tilden is
the workingmen's only hope.
