POLITICAL NOTES

IIlden and Hendricks.
A suggestion from the New York
Express; " Having accused Mr.. Tilden
OF all the crimes in the calendar, the
radicals should now direct the energies
OF their mud machine against his wife
1t does not matter that he has no wife
they can easily invent one"
The widow Butler is progressing IA
vorably with her canvass. The Massa-
chusetts papers are fussing away against
her, but the Establishments of the lady
who knows what's what are beating
them. The radical papers want the
widow defeated by a bolt, and are too
miserabIy tied down to party to advocate
the election of Mr. Tarbox, the present
democratic incumbent
=. The democrats, almost 10 man,
have been working energetically for
Hampton, and eolored men in all parts
of the state, defying intimidation by
radical DULLES, have asserted their right
to hear both sides in this campaign; and
accordingly, under pledges of protection
wherever necessary, they have listened
to democratic speakers, and thousands of
them are to-day ready to vote for Hamp-
ton, reform, prosperity and good wages
Charleston Journal Of Commerce.
The Charleston Is. O. News and
Courier addresses several questions to
the colored men Of that state, the last of
which is rs follows (the italics are its
own: Your party is about to make
nominations. II men are named whom
the state can trust, your hands are clean;
but if the old story is repeated and
swindlers, cheats, or incompetent per-
sons are put forward by your party and

both as to men aud numbers, seem to be
ON the Tilden side In Massachusetts, he
has won the Adams family, Gen. Bartlett,
one of the most brilliant of the New
England soldiers, Prof Sumner, David
A.Wells. and college men of high and low
degree. The Springfield Republican,
counting the Tilden gains in that state,
remarks with resignation that though
these squads don't elect Tilden, they 90
a good ways toward it. Wherever the
political conditions are best understood
the leading minds gravitate naturally to-
ward Tilden.
Cincinnati Enquirer: A dispatch
in the Enquirer ome days ago announced .
that the Buena Vista postoffice, in Mis-
sissippi, was discontinued because no re- +
publican life was safe there. The Buena
Vista postotlice accommodated nearly ten
thousand people An Aberdeen, Mis-
sissippi, newspap7, says that the real
cause tor the adjustment of this post
office was 49, - - -astmaster was
democrat, anu~n5I rep6blican could be
found in the place who was intelligent
enough to conduc it. The citizens who
patronized the pstofiice are seriously in
conyenienced byits discontinuance.
Lieut.. Gov. R. B. Hubbard succeeds
Gov. Coke, of Texas who has been
elected to fill Morgan Hamilton's place
in the United States senate. Gov. Hub
bard is a Georgian, distinguished for his
eloquence and literary attainments. He
Is, too, wonderful speaker, by many
deemed the peer OF Lamar, also a Geor-
gian. Hubbard Is endowed with great
physical, as well as intellectual vigor.
His weight is three hundred and eighty
pounds, his height six feet four inches,
and his strength: leonine. His voice is
clear, resonant and musical Thirty
thousand, as readily and perfectly as i've
thousand persons, can hear him.
The Nation objects to 50 much of
war favor in republican speeches. Al
Iuding to Mr.. Nheeler's speech in Yer
mont, it says: Not one word of allu-
sion to reform of any kind in the govern
ment; not a hint Of the need OF any re-
form. We respectfully but solemnly ask
the immediate friends and followers of !
Mr.. Hayes, of whom personally we hear
all that is good, and whose election we
would fain desire, without fear or mis-
giving. whether they mean to allow the
reform element in the republican party
20 be represented throughout the can
vass by this sort of speaking, in which {
we are invited to vote for Hayes as a
