POLITICAL NOTES.


The third-term spook and the rag baby
should meet and condoe with each other Both are In
very bad way.
The Hon. Daniel Marcy of Portsmouth is said
to be the most prominent candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor OF Eew-Hampshire. Other
aspirants are Mr. Horatius Colony OF Koene and Mr.
Frank A. NJ hean OF Nashua.
Congressman Wheeler Of this State thinks
Congress Will adjourn early in June He Is also confident
that both the next House and the next President will be
Republican. lie said 70 the Washington correspondent
Of The Springfield Republican recently: unless
people fling away all their chances shall take tho
country by rousng majority next year."
Another Southern journal dssents from tho
assertion that the Southern Democracy is in favor Of
the nomination OF Gov. Tlden for the Presidency Tho
Richmond Dispatch says: "The Southern people are
tied Wall Street They know that the West and the
South natural allies aud they do not intend 70 do
agght to break up that alliance Iden Is the candidate
1t looks now rs if Mr.. John d. Carscallen
of Hudson County would be chosen Speaker OF the New
Jersey Assembly next week, and II Gen. scwell Of
Camden would he elected President Of the Senate The
former choice will be more credable to the Republican
majority than the latter. Gen. Sewell spent several
years in the lobby the agent OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, during the most corrupt period Of New
Jersey legislation and he always relied on now ~ put
the interests Of the railroad company in whose pay he
above those OF the people he pretends TO represent Tho
General Railroad law has put end to great part Of
tho mischief to be done by such men, however
The more cautious of the Democratic Jour-
mails are frank enough admit that their party has by
no means certain prospect of victory next year Thus
The Louisville Comier-Journai says: "To sum up the
situation In few words, 1t is from the fair out
look Of this day twelve months and can be only i'm
proved by the Democrats themselves who need to go
back to their principles and traditions putting hard
money free-tade, and homerule candidate upon hard
money nome-rule and free-trade platform Nothing less
will give the ghost OF chance to beat the Republic
ans because nothing less Ia cOnsonant either with our
duty with the facts of contenporaneous history"
The New Hampshire Republicans have en-
tered unequivocal protest against third term that
their choice for the Presidency is of interest The Con-
cO.d Moor their leading organ seems to squnt
Minister Washburne. 1t has come kind words for Mr..
Blaine but thinks the geographical argument Is against
him. As for MI Conkling the Hon. William A. Wheeler
"a man who is almost to occupy the second place
on the ticket If he misses the first will be apt to stand
in bis way. Nr. Bristow has certainly developed In
large degree qualities most admirable in the chief
Executive but 1t L. question whether he may not DO
more seryceabe to the country in the place ho
cupies and adorns" Hence The onitor concludes that
Mr.. Washburne "a nominated, would prove inyincDlo
az against any candidate OF tine opposltlon' Wssn1ns
and Wheeler would make strong team, all must admit
Gen. Butler was counsel in recent libel suit
against The Boston Herald and secured for his client
verdict Of one dollar instead OF the 100000 he sued for
The Herald gets even with him for some OF MS
hngs at Ii by reproducing this chapter In history: in
the OF the recent libel suit Ben Butler tried 70
ascertan the value OF The Herald which reminds that
he had opportunity to Learn its price some years ago.
when political friend OF his came TO us with the pro-
posal that we should favor old Ben for Governor and
name our own price Our answer was that Ben or his
friends wanted The Herald support him they couldbuy
tho concern tor its full value. lie may remember the
price mentioned them bur its value has been Increased
since by fighting ali kinds OF shysters, sWihders ana
frauds"
1t will be hard work to find half dozen
Republican journals OF standing in the country which
support Senator Morton's Mississippi resolution Tie
latest party journal oppose it is The Philadelphia IN
qi.,rer which says: The spirit OF Mr. Mortons resou'
ton is repugnant to idea of reunited country 1t
dstasteful to the overwhelming majority OF men who
desire to let the dead past bury its dead The wars
oyer-why try breathe life into It'll The fire Is out
why strive to the embers into flannel We want no
more meidesome interference I'm state affairs We want
brotnery love, fair dealing the burial OF Old
the equality OF all the States, and union Without DIS
cord. Mr. Morton mistakes the humOr OF the AIerlcan
people If he thinks he can dose them with any more ot
