POLITICAL NOTES.

congressman Martln L. townsend OF
New York says that "the Hayes and
Wheeler ticket is sure to carry New York,
Pennsylvania and all the Middle States"
Voorhees, calls Tilden "wrecker of
railroads and a political ckster," and
predicts that if he shall be nominated
the entire vote of the Northwest will be
for the Republican nominee.
The indianapolis Journal says of the
Republican platform: "In point of
style and diction it is the best ever writ
ten. The phraseology is singularly hap
py, and there is not a bungling or weak
sentence in it."
The election in Oregon that the Demo-
Gratis shouted over, proves tie so far as
Legislature is concerned, and should the
Republicans succeed in gaining one from
the tie, can elect U. S. Senator in place of
a Democrat now in.
The Baltimore Gazette (Dem.) de-
clares: at is folly to attempt to conceal
the fact that the Cincinnati nominations
have, in great degree, brought together
and reunited the shattered elements of
the Republican organization"
General Fitzpatrick writes: II am de-
lighted with the work of the convention
at Cincinnati. know Governor Hayes
well; was his guest when in Ohio a few
weeks since. He is not only the most
available, but to my mind the best man
named. The ticket will have my cordial
support. 1 am ready, and will devote my
whole time from now until the election to
the cause"
President Grant seldom makes q
speech, but when he does he is very apt
to give utterance to some characteristic
phrase of peculiar force and aptness. In
response to serenade the other night,
speaking of the nomination of Hays, he
said he believed he should surrender his
present position to him with a guaran-
teed security for your right and liberties
under the laws of the land"
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing of the Republican. ticket,
says: 1T is a heavy infantry ticket, and
can count on the certain support of all
the reserves, on the quiet-thinking relia-
bic vote of the nation. With such
ticket.in such country, success is, of
course, assured, but to make assurances
doubly sure, great care should be taken in
the nomination of State officers, particu-
larly in New York.
The Davenport Democrat says "The
Cincinnati ticket will thoroughly unite the
Republican party, and insure it an easy
victory in all the Republican States
heretofore classed as doubtful. 1t is also
we'll fitted for success in the particular
doubtful States on which the election
will hinge" All of which is but two
ways of making an unpleasantconfession:
The Hayes ticket is likely to win; the St.
Louis ticket, no matter who may be put
upon it, is likely to lose.
The Columbia Is. c. Union Herald
says of the political situation in Alabama:
"The two wings of the Republican party
in Alabama are preparing to withdraw
their respective State tickets and unite
upon joint ticket, headed by ex-Govern-
or Patton, man of large personal pop
ularity, spotless character, and acknowl-
edged ability. The Democrats reterror-
stricken at the prospect. The unity of
the Republican elements insures Repub-
lican victory for the State ticket in Octo-
Der, the election of Republican Senator
in place of Goldthwaite, and the loss of
the Democratic party in November Of the
