POLITICAL NOTES.


Which will get the better of the other at
mat Saratoga meeting nlden Hendcksi The letters
,f acceptance will show
Mr.. Halstead wants to know why Grant
hould not be npeached and thinks the House ought to
Be unanimously in favor Of such step.
The Express says the uproarious meeting OF
rammany on Thursday night was an old fashioned
Democratic demonstration" That seems to cover the
Ease.
Mr. Jewell has promised to take the stump
I'm Indiana for Hayes Wheeler. He is not expected
TO speak at length the Cincinnati plank indorsing
Grant
The Democrats are not so sure Postmaster
General JEWELS removal will help them II he Is nomna-
ted for Governor 1t will be hard work TO demonstrate
that electins him would be indorsing Grantsnl
There are several Democratic editors In the
West who are seemingly impressed with the CONVICTION
that liable to cast her electoral vote Tor
Tilden and Hendricks. No bets are offered however
The Republican candidate for Governor of
Michigan this year very likely to be Mr. C. NJ Cross
well of Adrian He has been member OF the Legisla-
ture but has not been generally known Outside OF his
State. ' 0
Avery, Mckee, Mcdonald, and the other
"persecuted friends" Of the President are naturally
hopeful speedy pardon After what he has dohe the
President could hardly surprise insult the country
more-even by the general jddevery OF Ills cohNle'ec
favOritcs
Secretary Chandler has an opportunity to do
his party the greatest of his life. His Cabinet
position makes to say tho least improper Tor him TO
accent the chair1nanslp of the National Republican
Committee and he win do himself credit and relieve s
party OF serious burden by declining the Ohcred e"ei
ship.
Young chickens and curses come home to
roost with not certainty than political sins The
Repubcans IN order certain partisan cglsa-
ton without damaging debate, in 1872 forced through
certain amendments Of the Enforcement act as amend
ments OF the Civil Appropriation BILL Just now they
are riglteousy indignant because the Democrats are
trying TO repeal tho act by amendment on an al
preparation bill. This time the wroEg OK gets Gcred
1t is pretty evident to everybody that the
President has made up his mind to have his own sweet
will in future He says much with his usual lrankness
for Herald correspondent represents him as rcnarkng
to friend: 4" / think L may well have friends IL
Office under me as enemies, and am determined not 20
be guided by what Senators and Representatives NAV
say but shall decide in these matters myself" That
would TO make an opening Tor Boss Shepheia anu
the peppery Muliett
The Albany Express feels sure that the Re-
publican party will not snub Senator Conkng Perhaps
will think safer to snub tho Republican voters,
Mr Cornell has attempted 20 do In Chicago, recently,
desperate youth took poison eat ais throat, shot him
self through the heart and hanged himself at the
time The Republican party will invent still more
elaborate suicide II il shoulders in NewiOrk the man
who sent that dispatch about the mpudent resolutions
Of the Union League Club.

all he knows about the whisky business. Because Mr.
Brstow refused 20 violate Cabinet confidence it doe
not follow that the interviews this subject involved
anything Of great importance. 1t would be interesting
however know all that passed in regard TO Attorney
General Perreponts letter warning witnesses not u
tell too much. The Presidents recent conduct, anC
especially his removal OF Yaryan. Pratt, and Jewell
bears more damning testimony against him than any
Cabinet officer can probably give.
A most reprehensible disposition is prevalent
to make sport of the heroic efforts at economy which
that brace OF patriots Judge Holman and Blue Jeans
Williams. are making st Washington. The Washington
Star encourages the tendency by reporting the following
disrespectfu conversation Two ladies were conversine
in the Rotunda Of the Capitol this morning 'We said
one Congress cannot be patriotic, for the Capitol moi
the DOME lii up on the 4th OF July Oh SAID
the other il not patriotic ii is economics rather guess
on the 4th of July Holman and Blue Jeans" sat dowI
on the gas meter"
The talk about running eX-GOv. Seymour
again in this State this FAN receives this seemingly
elusive quietus from Mr.. seymour's home newspaper
The Utica O5Serrer: "sOme newspapers notice the
that there q disposition In quarters 20
bring forward the of Horato sey ymour as Demo
cratic candidate for Governor As he is entirely With
drawn from public life should permit himself to
think seriously Of making suggestion Of that nature
The person who will be elected 10 that Office this FALL
and who will bea: the Republican candidate for the
name from that OF our tOwnsman."
Senator Spcncer's wing of the Republican
party IN Alabama is dong its best to disrepu
table as possible. Having tried in vain to make com
promise with the regular organization, Spencer
bound TO run ticket which decent man vote
Judge Clarke the nominee OF the Boiters party for Gov
ernor having declined to stand Spencer has put al the
head OF the ticket his famous crony and tool oxCon-
gresham Sbeats, the man whom Postmaster-Geperal
Jewell caused TO he dischar ecd from the Office OF Sixth
Auditor OF the Treasury because Of his pcompcteuce
Of course Sheat5 can't be elected but he NAV draw oil
votes enough from the regular ticket give the state 10
the Democrats.
1t has not been decided yet whether Judge
Davis has declared for Hayes or not One report saws
he has written letter III favor Of the Cincinnati ticket
and that Mr. John d. Defrees has the letter Other re-
ports say there is truth in this statement and that the
Judge Is Tor Iden If the latter is true the Democratic
journals should not publish paragraphs ike this from
1he LoaiSeHe CouTter-J0urndi: Republican journals
are Growing over the fact that Judge David Davis
Hayes judge Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States who iRtrgues 20 himself nomination
Tor the Presidency and Is willing stultiiy himself "a
OBTAIN u at the hands OF party which he opposed
NOT nkey TO make or mar things much, no matter fol
whom he goes"
