NOTES AND EXTRACTS.

Senator Thurman is said to be workin 6
for ticket which will read "Tilden and
Thurman. ~ Y Tribune.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch believes there
are not discordant elements enough in
either political organization out Of which
to form party, and does not think it
will be attempted.
Mr.. Bristow and Mr.. Blaine have both
acted wisely in promptly meeting and
refuting the preliminary ISLANDERS aimed
at them Should either of them receive
the Cincinnati nomination, the failure of
these early calumnies will discredit all
which would be produced during the
campaign.-Harpers Weekly.
If Secretary Bristow be nominated by
the Cincinnati Convention he will COM
mand the undivided support of the indie
pendent press of the country. His NOM
ination will draw back to the Republican
party thousands of men who, for the past
few wears have voted with the opposition.
Minneapolis Tribune Rs'.)
The Republican Convention at Cincin-
natl, in June, must find the man." No
schening politician will do; no man
who has lent himself to any suspicious
work in politics will answer; he must
be a man whose integrity is SO severe
that nothing can swerve him from the
path of duty. CourdIH.
The Indianapolis Journal says of the
recent Democratic Convention in Indi-
ana: "Tlere was never in the history of
the State such a disgraceful exhibition
of disorder and i'll temper as that dis
played, and that they succeeded in get
ting ticket at all is more the result of
good fortune than good judgment"
Charls Francis Adams was killed off
in 1872, by the sore-headed bummers who
thought they could use his name to con-
jure with. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Bristow will not be damaged in the
same way, although he is receiving the
disinterest support of some of the old
hummer leaders.-BostOn Traveller, Rep. }
The Independent voter is-going to be
caught by no platforms, or appeals to
the records of parties. He is not going
to march in professions, hurrah. or hang
his banner on the outward wall. He is
going quietly to the polls and cast his
vote, and the side on which he casts
that vote will win.-Baltimore Gazette
lind. Dem.)
The Washington Chronicle stands by
the statement that if the Republicans
make good, ringing nominations, North
Carolina, California and New Jersey may
as we'll be transferred to our side at once,
and the figures will then stand 26 Re-
publican States with 232 electoral votes,
and IL Democratic States with 1876 cleo
torial votes.
A New York paper has observed that
the difference between Democratic can
didates for office and Republican candi.
dates is a marked one. 1t Injuries Re-
publican if it is proved that he has OBJ
tanned money improperly, but it has no
such effect upon a Democratic rival
his party friends expect it of him.

No one of the candidates can hold a
candle to Mr.. Blaine in the matter of
talent for organization. To his genius
for this essential thing for success in
political effort he adds remarkable per.
sonal magnetism, which attaches men to
him, and makes them follow him as
Highland clansmen do their chief
Minneapolis Mail (Rep).
Gov. Tilden may have a pledged dele.
CATION from this State after all. There
is tendency in some quarters to force
one upon him whether he desires it or
not. This has probably been prompted
by the rather absurd boasts of the canal
ring organs that they forced the party to
abandon the idea of sending pledged del
egates.-N Y Tribune
Mr.. Blaine yesterday made an expla-
nation of the charges trumped up against
him by the indiscreet friends of Mr..
Bristow. We think no impartial person
can read his speech without accepting it
as thorough and complete vindication.
Joe Medill. Dick Smith, and the other
selfconstituted keepers of the conscience
of the Republican party should call an
other meeting. GLOBE Democrat.
