POLITICAL NOTES.


The South can be made "sold" only by the
establishment Of a virtual second slavery
The Democratic journals which are denying
that there is anything like an EARNED camp" in South
Carolina should read the papers OF their own party in
that Not only is the existence OF the rifle clubs
admitted and defended but the determination to compel
the negroes the Democratic ticket or not vote AZ
all Is just as openly ayOwed
The Indiana Democrats are calling upon the
softmoney men 10 come to their aid in November The
chairman Of the Committee has issued an address
Informing the Greenbackers that the evils they complain
Of were inflicted by Republicans and telling them thai
their only hope Of relief is through the Democratic party
The address will be circulated in this State. IL Is n
tended for the soft end Of the party only.
The rag baby is coming to the front once
more in OHIO. The Democratic organs there make no
attempt TO disguise their party intention TO manage the
finances as they please they get into power Thus Tie
Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The Democratic Green
hackers should all vote for Tden and Hendricks There
is nothing be hoped FOR in the event Of the election Of
Hayes while the Of the people always expect
financial relief under Democratic rule. The question
now 10 one of free government"
So far as California is concerned the Demo-
cratic in Indiana will help the Republicans The
San Francisco Bulletin thus explains why: The success
in Indiana coupled with the defeat in Ohio, II 1t means
anything, imitation success 1t is triumph OF Hem
bricks over Tden. IL eeyates the paper side OF tho
the head. Hard money and Tiden have gone underi
Hendricks and soft money are on top. But this ust
thing that will be disastrous TO the Democracy IN

politician but he has better faculty Tor summing up his
political creed in few and orcbe words than any man
in politics. In accepting a nomination as Presidential
elector in Massachusetts, he writes Though would
much rather the choice OF the convention had fallen
elsewhere, cannot bring myself TO decline nomination
made with such friendly uuanmity by so respectable
gathering OF my feow-citizens Believing as do on
satisfactory evidence that candidates for the offices
OF President and vcePresdent represent the principles
which made the Republican party useful to the whole
country and that they will firmly oppose the practices
which would degrade it from national organization to
close corporation for private advantage being assured
that they are in OF undelusiye currency, OF
