NOTES AND EXTRACTS.

The Democrats are surprised and angry
because exposures of corruption do not
result to their advantage.-NeU York
Tribune.
We fancy that the signs point to Blaine
as the coming candidate, and with him,
and all else is in right shape, this State
can be carried for the Republican party.
Pittsburgh Gazette (Rep.)
Gov. Rice, of Massachusetts,, is said to
be in favor of Minister Washburne for
the Presidency. but to think that Bristow
is the most available candidate. A SIM
liar view seems to be taken by almost all
of Mr.. Washburne's supporters.-Neo
York Tribune.
The nomination of Landers for the
Governorship would dispose of Hendricks
as surely as night follows day. There is
no need of proof to support that assertion.
Mr.. Hendricks must either throw Land
ers off the track or go off himself.-Ne'o
Albany (Ind.) Ledger, (Dcm.)
This new tone of querulous despond-
ency at initiation headquarters ought to
convince the most timid that danger
from that quarter is happily over. The
'.baby' is as dead as the ''spook." 1t
NAV as well be measured fUr=its-littie
coffin first as last.-Springfetd Repuba
can Ind.
The whole country has been watching
the House eagerly for four months for
signs of what we should gain by putting
Democratic administration in power,
and has been treated to little but dis
plays of what it is no egaggeratiOn to
cali spirit of mischief.-7he Nation,
(Lnd)
All patriotic men who agree in the
desire for a reform of the civil service
and honest money should join hand and
hand in the determination to signalize
this Centennial year by new departure
and the recovery of what is purest and
noblest in the national character. Down
with the parties and up with the people!
-Ne,c York Euening Post (Ind. Rep)
Gen. Banks earned the thanks of all
the strong minded sisters of America
yesterday by his showing that Mrs. Abb
gail Adams was the first advocate OF
suffrage for women in this country. If
this fact does not give women the ballot
we fear the sex will be compelled to wait
another hundred years before being wei
coined to the polls.-NeD York Herald.
The Republican Senators held a eau
Gus on Thursday last, at which the future
policy of the party was fully discussed.
1t was decided to resist the extraordinary
reduction of appropriations proposed by
the House, on the ground that, if carried
out, they would result in the shutting
up of some of the departments of the
Government. 1t was further resolved to
assist all the investigations, and to expose
and punish every corrupt official where
ever found. 1t was claimed that the
District Ring, Credit Mobilier, the whis,
Ky frauds, etc, had all been broken up
by the Republican party.-Atchison
Champion.
The talk of the house of representa-
tives about reducing tie pay of members,
is a painful exhibition Of one of the
weakest phases of American polite char
acter The truth is, the pay of MEM
ber of Congress is none too much. Some
members of course are not worth it, but
others are worth ten times as much.
Then there is not one of them that wants
his pay reduced, and those who advocate
it, are always hoping enough men ofnerve
will be found to out-vote them. 1t is all
founded upon the idea that this kind of
economy pleases the people. We think
this mistake If they would pay them
selves literally and then try to earn their
money the people would like it much
better.-Kansas City Journal Of Commerce.
