Camnaign Notes.


The victories in New England are as de-
pressing to the Tildenites as cold weather to
thermometer.
Adams was nominated to influence the
vote OF other states they say. Wonder what
effect it had in Maine.
Speaking OF the Maine election the Phil
adelphia Times says: "Tne moral is that you
ought always to pay your inco me tax"
The Augusta, Ga, Chronicle mildly refers
to Governor Chamberlain as ''bald-headCd
fraud, the bitter and malignant enemy of
everything honest and white"
"Vermort is small state," they SAID, and
does not amount to much, anyhow. Just
wait for Maine" Well, Maine was "waited
for" and she has come aloag And how do
they like it?
The election in Colorado on the 10th of Oc-
tober will have uncommon interest, from the
fact that the Legislature then chosen will
elect two United States Senators, and also
the Presidential Electors of the state.
1t is pretty clear now that Hayes will be
elected. The drift of public opinion is un-
mistakably against Tilden and solid South
ern dictation in national job work, and each
day will offer new testimony of the truth
Cincinnati Commercial.
The Democratic party will make no more
proselytes this year, and if the Republican
party should be relatively anything like as
strong throughout the Northern States as it
has proved itself to be in Vermont and
Maine, Hayes and Wheeler will be easily
elected.-Neao York Herald.
District Attorney Bliss of New York tells
Chicago interviewer that he expects to
bring suits against Gov. Tilden for the recov-
cry of the income tax which he ought to have
paid, but that they will not probably reach
trial until after the election.
The story that Carl Schurz wrote express
ing doubt as to the Republicans carrying
Ohio, meets prompt denial. He telegraphs s
back to an enquirer: 81 wrote no such letter
and entertain no such opinion. Ohio seems
to me sure for Hayes"
John F. Duncombe, the Iowa Democrats
candidate for lieutenant governor when they
ran Gen. Tuttle for governor, has followed
Gen. Tuttle into the Hayes and Wheeler rank
and both of them are doing efficient cam
raign work at the West.
The Democratic party, with the hungry
starving eyes of wolf, has been looking in to
the national capital and scratching at the
doors Of the White House for sixteen years.
Occasionally it has retired to some con-
venient eminence and lugubriousy howled
about the constitution.-C0L. Robert Inger-
soil.
Governor Hendricks suddenly feels weary
as to his jaws. After period of irrepressible
gable, in which the prospects of his party
received unlimited damage, he has been
corked instanter by challenge from Senator
Morton to joint discussion. Hendricks says
he can't discuss with senator. He could
make square fight with Wheeler wheeler
can't Gomez but for him, candidate for vice
president, to parley with such small game as
mere member of the upper house-no
sir!-Brooklyn Times.
Sour grapes to the Louisville Courier
Journal also. 1t says: ssOf all the States
the State of Maine is most detached from
| national association. 1t is one-half Yankee
| and the other half Canadian, New England
province, as it were, and, as the Government
has been run in the New England interest
| these last sixteen years, it is not a region
from which Democratic gains ought to be
| expected"
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer is another
of the Southern papers that lament the igno
rance of the Vermonters, and it accounts for
it in part by saying that "one of the South
ern people rarely ever enters" "that Republi.
can besotted State" The Enquirer should re
member that a few years ago great many
Vermonters enlarged their ideas by extensive
travels in the South, and that they have no
! forgotten what they learned then.
