Political NaWs

1t is stated that Mr.. Blaine is the candidate
of most of the anti-Conkling delegates for
New York.
1t is recalled that William H. Seward had
pledged delegation from New York 10 the
national convention of 1860.
The Indianapolis Journal believes that
reform can be had much cheaper than by
establishing the Confederate headquarters at
Washington.
Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, is credited with
the expression of the belief that ''if the Dem

club of Buffalo was organized, this evening,

The Indianapolis Journal re-asserts posi-
lively that Morton voted for confirmation,

stand it fully as well as the Senate.
The Connecticut Democrats begin to find
it necessary to close up and get some money.
So Gov. Ingersoll withdraws from the sena-

The Hartford Courant believes that the

and that the success of the coming presiden-

being held at Cincinnati.
Senator Conkling's friends at Washington

There was solemn Democratic constitu

state officers, including Gov. Hendricks, and
| the Chairman of state Committee being
among those who took part in the delinera-
tions. The Journal says that one of the

we do with Landers?'' and, after much
smoking of killikinick, it was considered that
they could do nothing; that they must come

last. Another and larger meeting will be
held soon, at which prominent Democrats
from all parts of the state will be present.
Current Notes,

That the Democracy have lost hope and
courage since the New Hampshire election is
very plain. They are bewidered and inefic-
lent to degree that almost provokes sympa-
thy. The retirement from the House, on the
sick-leaVe, of Lamar and Wood perceptibly
Weakens their disposition to debate. One
effect of the New Hampshire election was to
silence Ben Hill. 1t is borne in upon him,
we suspect, that his loose tongue has already
done more damage to his party than can be
repaired in the longest session, and now
when he is assaled be judiciously clings to
his seat. The Pennsylvania convention gave
no comfort to that wing of the Democracy
which has cherished hopes of lifting the party
to the modest height of virtue necessary to
compass the nomination of Gov. Tilden.
Hendricks has given new evidence of his
weakness by publishing letter on the cur
rency problem, which commits him to moth
ing but an expectation of the future prosperi-
ty of the country. But it looks more and
more as if the Democracy would take up with
Hendricks, and, on the whole, nothing could
bo more fit. He is the best embodiment of
the party's utter want of right aims and use
full virtues.-Bost0n Advertiser.

A FIERCE dispute is raging between North
ern and Southern Democrats as to which are
the biggest fools. The Northerners point to
Ben Hill, the Southerners to Daniel Marcy.
Republicans incline to the opinion that the
Northern Democrats will rank the others in
idiocy; for it is hardly to be expected that
Southerners should not still feel the smart of
defeat, and allowance is made for that nat
ural feeling Butss the Northern Democrats
rise to the height of foolishness when they
nominate and support the most Objectionable
of fcopperheads for high office. 1t is curious
to note that Southerners have quite as deep a
contempt as have Republicans for the disloyal
men of the North.
The Portland daily press., 1876-03-28

In the telegraphic report of the debate on
the bill TO forbid contributions to election
funds the relevancy of Mr.. Blaine's compari-
son of Virginia election to the throwing of
dice is not apparent. A full report Of his re.
marks justifies the phrase. The law of Vir-
ginia provides that at every election, after the
polls have been closed, all the ballots shall be
counted by the judges of the election. If the
number of ballots exceeds the number of
names checked on the poll list the ballots
shall be returned into the box, two of the
election judges shall be blndfolded and shall
then draw out tickets from the ballot box un-
til the number remaining corresponds with
the number on the poll list. This process
they call "purging the ballot box" This
method of election Mr.. Blaine aptly compared
to throwing dice for the office. But this is
not all. At certain election of member OF
congress it was discovered in one precinct
that the number of ballots largely exceeded
the number of names registered, and, ol
course, the ballot box must be "purged.
Now, it so happened that the Republican bal
lots in that election we're of considerable size,
three inches by five; the Democratic ballots
were remarkably small, only one inch and
five-elghths long and three-quarters of an
inch wide. A copy in fac simile is given in
| the Congressional Record as part OF Mr..
Blaine's speech, so that there can be no mis-
| take about it. The Democratcj judges OF elec'
ton, though blindfolded, could, OF course, dis.
tingulsh with precision between the Republic
| can and Democratic ballots, and withdraw
only the former if they chose. But if they
| dew at random, without intentional unfair
ness, the result would be the same, for the
minute Democratic tickets would surely eiude
them. Whether by design or accident, the
result OF the purgng process in that case was
TO leave only five Republican votes, although
there were notoriously and undeniably sever
al hundred Republican voters in the district
The Portland daily press., 1876-03-28

This Mr.. Blaine called deciding elections by
throw of loaded dice, and he said truly that
ticket so small as the Democrats there

No thinking man expects reform the De-
mocracy, for it is committed to the doctrine
of spoils. No one expects liberality of opin-
ion from party which still hates the negro,
which still clings to the absurd prejudices of
twenty years ago. No man who was ever
true Republican dares to trust an organiza-
ton which is led by the Eatons and the
Woods, by the Hills and the Marcys, by the
Clymers aud the Pendletons. The Repub-
lican party with all its imperfections is a
much safer body in which to confide.

THE extent of an argus misapprehension
is as vast as the desert of Sahara. That
journal utterly fails to see, though the fact
was recalled in its telegraphic columns, that
the proposition to reduce the salaries of Con-
gressmen to S2,7O0 is in effect the same as
that reducing the salaries of clerks ten per
cent. As regards the currency it is fast getting
itself befogged about silver resumption, and
is quite in the dark as to funding. 1t still
adheres to its statement that contraction will
increase the redundancy" of the currency,
but has apparently forsaken the position that
it will "aggrevate" the evils of our present
system. Taking it all in all it is in a pitiful
state

SOME of Mr., Blaine's opponents for want
of a weighter objection reproach him for his
skill in always getting upon the popular side
of every question that comes up. Really
this is one of his highest qualifications for
the presidency. Quickness to apprehend the
drift of public opinion, and readiness to re-
gard it, are traits very desirable in man at
the head Of popular government. This
semsitiveness to national opinion was one OF
the most admirable qualities of Abraham
Lincoln, and obtuseness on his part, disregard
of the sentiments Of the people, have been
attributed as serious fault to President Grant.

IT is among the possibilities that Winslow's
Boston friends will not have the pleasure of
seeing him unless they go to London. The
British government has requested that before
he is surrendered the President secure the
passage of law by Congress, providing that
he shall not be tried for any crime but for
that for which he stands convicted. The
proposition has been rejected, and the sur
render of Winslow called for under the treaty
of1042. In 1870 the British parliament pas
sed an act authorizing treaties to be made
with other governments in regard to the
extradition ofcriminals, but requiring pro.
viso TO be inserted in all such treaties that the
criminal shall not be tried for any other of.

effect and apply it to the treaty of 1912.
