Campaign Notes.

quarantined Republican is what the Bos-
ton Transcript calls Butler.
The men on the fence in Ohio and Indi-
ana seem 10 be getting down rapidly and
unanimously on the Republican side.
The Parkersburg West Va.) Times ex-
presses the firm conviction that the continue
tion of the oppressive Democratic party in
power for four years longer would ruin that
state beyond hope of recovery.
If both elections next week are carried by
the Republicans Gov. Tilden will have
sweet time during the rest of the campaign.
The soft moneyites, the John Kelly school oI
patriots and all the other anti-Tilden ele-
ments will take great comfort in saying to
him: swell, didn't we tell you so?'
Mr.. J.. NJ. Henderson, of Tennessee, in a
letter giving his reasons for supporting Hayes
and Wheeler, says: "As the Democratic
party seem anxious to engage in the reform
business, would respectfully direct their es-
pecial attention to our own present state gov
ernment and finances as one Of the finest
fields OF genuine reform / know of any
where.
The San Francisco Post of Sept 25, says: !:
'H. G. Bennett, the defaulting Pension Agent
whose disappearance three years ago, leav
ing behind him the evidences of defalcation
mounting to about twenty-five thouaand dol
lars, created quite sensation, was arrested
last week at Black Hawk, COL, where be

Ex-senator Doolttle Is saying in Indiana
that he has been so much impressed with the
'divine nobility" of Uncle Jimmy Blue Jeans
that he is sure the State is safe. 1t would
have been safer if Uncle Jimmy and bis par
ty had relied more on his ''divine nobility"
and less on his breeches in their efforts 10
carry it. The two things don't 60 well tc-
gether.
One of the Democratic journals which has
been conspicuously shocked at Col. Inger-
sol's infidelity is the Chicago Times, a jour-
nal of such deep and humble piety that it
heads an account of hanging, "Jerked to
Jesus" and alIudes to the new Moody taber-
nacle in Chicago as "That Salvation Shop"
adding: "The Devil will catch 1t when they
get that Moody machine in good working or
der, and the revivalist and his musical at
tachment begin to grind out Gospel. 1t will
probably prove the biggest investment God
has made for many years. After which
select assortment of patent right souls will be
thrown on the Market"
Congressman Banning of Cincinnati is
great in many things, but greatest of all as
handshaker. This latter Accomplishment
was largely instrumental in electing him to
Congress, and he is trying hard to make it re-
turn him this fall. Following out his usual
plan he rushed up 10 a prominent German
merchant in Cincinnati the other day, hold
ing out both hands, and exclaiming with
much fervor: Chow are you, old friend?"
The old friend failed to recognize him, and a
bystander said: "This is Mr.. Banning"
"Yes," said the Congressman, seen. Ban
ming. I am Gen. Banning" $50 you lif
about heree" "Oh, yes. 1 am a neighbor
of yours. 1 am the member of Congress from
this district" $50? Chineral Panning T?
Veil nefer hear dot name before" The
chances are he will never hear it again from
its owners lips.
