Political Pith.

s.carO,is times and revival OF
p.s;ness until honest and patriotic
%sn are placed at the head of the
norernment. The presen, party has
sstolen the country poor, and there
iii be no improvement until it is
driven out.
Pckmondt Va.) Wing (Dem.): We
could lay fast hold Of New York,
Nav Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon
md California, and say to the Dem
ocracy ofthose States name the man
,on want aud he shall be our choice.
Goncede New York to the enemy,
and Connecticut and New Jersey
raep her company, aud despair end
the contest at once.
st. Louis Times: If the Radicals
aid save the country, we beseech
.lam not to do so in the same man
nor any more. The next time the
scuntry gets into danger let it float
aroul. d awhile on it's own resources,
,sther than have it saved to be stolen
and carted away by a set OF thieves
liEe those who have charge to day.
g. Louis Times (Dem.): Since
Samuel j. Tilden became Governor
fNew York the State Taxes have
heen reduced Que half. This is
air sample of Democratic reform.
n the National Government, with
but j partial foot hold, aud hamper
ed and laindered in that, the Dem.
ocrats have also accomplished won
ders of economy.
William Allen: If poor laborer
al,onld rise from sick bed without
money or credit, and thrust his hand
througl, the window Of a baker shop
and take loaf of bread for his fam
iHhiug children, his act is called
sealing and he is called thief.
But If q government officer steals a
hundred thousand dollars he is not
called 4 thief, but is conso!ed with
tue name OF defaulter.
Indianapolis Sentinel Dem.): Yes
to-day Indianapolis was controlled
by negroes. There are some two
thousand negro voters 10 the city,
and, on an average, they vote three
times apiece. They went in caval,
eades, whooping aud howiing. They
carried their biudgeons. their razors
and their pistols to the polls. 1t is
safe TO say that at least four thous
and fraudulent negro voters were
pelled, while thousand or more
Democrats were kept from the polls
By the ri0ting negroes.
Marshall Herald: The only sensi-
Die course for the truly Conserva-
tive party of Louisiana to pursue,
according to our perceptions, is 10
make straightout fight, otherwise
they will be hopelessly and ire.
vocably defeated. No neutral milk
aud cider, Mandy PANTY platform
ca6possibly win, and defeat, caused
BY an abandonment of principle,
excites contempt and cuts off sym
pathy.
d.. Holland ia Scribne,'s for May:
Il Is just as impossible to have q
high toned administration, with
low.toned president, as it is to have
ahigh.toned house. .old with a loafel
at its head. The thing is unnatura
and impossible. In the next presi
Dental election, the people really
desire, we believe, to vote for. and
elect, q gentleman and a statesman
"a man who will associate himself
IN government only with gentlemen
and statesmen, and who will send
only such to represent the govern
ment abroad. The political and
social tone at Washington is disgust
ingly low. It does not represent
thepeople of America. Itrepresents
the party politicians of America
and them only. They are our bane
and our disgrace; and ii they are
permitted to hold their influence
through a0Other administration, we
shall have ourselves to blame.
Haspe,ss Weekly: Those who 70

decided that q Democratic restora.
ton would be q calamity altogether
greater than any mischiefthat could
resalt from the election of Grant.
