POLITICAL NOTES.

The Widow Butler is very quiet, but she
keeps up power o. hinkn" The Boston journal SAYS
"the programme as developed at Worcester indicates
that the of year will find the General working toward the
Governors chair"
Harpey's Weekly has been examining the
record OF pardons granted by Gov. Tden and finds that
the number Of pardons and communications granted by
him In 1875 49, and up to date III 1876 9S making
total of 1885, Since jan l. 1875 20 conyics have been
restored to citizenship the record III each case oeips
marked, " Not to be published"
The nomination of Mr.. .Evarts next week at
saratoga which people talk OF wildly would not be
more with the previous course OF the pemOc
rary than was tt of Mr. Adams of Massachusetts, This
is masqueradng p politics. The mask Is new 63I
the old Democratic phiz Is there yet There wond
be this further difficulty in nj Eyar'ss case 1n ~
firm and earnest supporter OF Hayes and Wheeler.
Gen. Butler tells this in an interview In The
Boston Herald Gen. Butler glad that Adams was
nominated as 1t would be the end OF him. BY way OF
illustration the General related an anecdote or one John
Adams an auctiOneer OF Lowell IN his early DAYS, WHO
was bored to deSth by lOafer who Invariably BID one
cent on everything offered for sale Finally the auc-
t,opeer knocked of valuable article TO him for cop
per- remarng that he'd break him for once In order 10
get rid OF him forever"
Ex-AttOrney- General Alderman has written
an earnest letter in behalf OF the election OF Hayes and
Wheeler which concludes follows: "The National
Government should be kept in Republican hands. Its
moral weight and to the extent OF its constitutional
limits s physical power, should be on the side OF the
rights which It's constitution has ordained The re-
preSSys influence which for seven years It has exerted
ON the violent men OF the South should continue until
tey come to better temper or are snDdued by me gOou

Judge Kelley is out in Indiana on solitary
missionary tour He always takes pains 20 explain that
his yows on tho finances do not agree with those OF GOV
HAYES aud Mir. wbeeler-au explanation which both OF
those gentlemen will doubtless always be glad 10 nave
him make-and thus his position with reference TO
the candidates wise man, who finds that ne cannot
do exactly what he would, does tho next best thing ;
and az the Cincinnati Convention rejected the resolution
offered by Mr.. Davis of Texas demanding the reStmp
ton OF specie payments and the enforcement OF the Re-
sumption act. 1 am here to make choice between the
Democratic and Republican parties between Gen
Rutherford b. Hayes, the patriot. ana Sanuel Jones
Tilden, the demagogue."
The PHILADELPHIA Times is doing some frank
talking with respect to the campaign that tho Ihden
managers would do wen TO heed. OF the Vermont cleo
ton it says the rst public wound that Tdensm
has received since the campaign opened IL is not 80
wide as a barn-doOr deep a well, but 1t Is
Visible prostratng wound that will strengthen the Re
publican tide in Maine and thus swell the Republican
surees from the Pine Tree State upon the October con-
tests In Ohio and Indiana As the little babblng brooks
make up the rivers and the rivers the so do the po
tlca tdos from the smallest States mold and make
mn the Judgment Of the nation: and II Maine shall follow
Vermont, the Republicans win have the vantage ground
I'm hQ
sbsi both vote Republican four weeks hence, the only
question thereafter will be whether Hayess majority is
70 be 800, 900 or 100000"
IL seems that Judge Hoadley has considered
himself Democrat all the time. In going for Tnden he
Ga amply returning to his first love. In speech the
other night from the same platform with Gov Hendricks
he said: "Twentyfour years ago voted for Franklin
Pierce. Since that time. believing, as did, that the
cause OF human liberty was at stake In the country
have not voted with the Democratic party. But when
al .ul.n N.a aanfh
Amendment was adopted, when black and white were
fyep equal privileges at the ballotbox, and the party
under whose auspices this great work was accomplished
had degenerated has, becomes my DUTY 20 leave
n and return TO the Democratic party IN this centennial
wear voted Tor Abraham Lincoln twice and for u g.
Grant twice so yOu will see have not Voted Ior an I'M
successful Presidential ticket since 1900 ana sna no
vote for one this year"
There was enough double-shufie In the ST.

very significant alteration however was detected oy
