Campaign Notes.


A straw was taken of visitors to the Sem
ate Chamber and House of Representatives,
Washington, Wednesday, resulting: Hayes,
COS; Tilden, 325. Thirty-six states were
represented.
There are two plans OF conducting South
ern elections-Taft's and Gary's. Gary SAYS,
''Shoot the id niggers and cut off their
ears" Taft provides that every man shall
vote as he chooses.
When Lieutenant-Governor Dorsheimer
began his speech in Boston with the remark
that "Faneuil Hall is full tonight" an effer-
vescent reformer in the crowd shouted. $50
is Mike Dohertyp 1t was the only joke of
an otherwise solemn meeting.
The ''put up or shut up' style of political
Argument does not amount to much, but
when an ex-Confederate officer who has been
visiting in New York offers to put up 200 to
$50 that Hayes and Wheeler will carry that
state by 10000 majority there is a little sig
nifcarce in the fact.
A carefully prepared list shows that there
are upward of 500 Democrats still holding
clerical appointments at Washington. OF
this number over 800 are in the Treasury De-
partment. This does not include the female
clerks and employees entertaining rebel senti-
ments.
The New Hampshire Democrats, observes
the New York Tribune,pray for reform much
as the old gentleman did who put his petition
on placard to save shivering on frosty nights.
They point to the st. Louis platform, ,exclaim
to the country, ''Them's my sentiments
apd bolt.
And when rub my eyes here in Massa-
chusetts and find that son of John Quincy
Adams is running as the candidate for the
Democratic party for governor, refuse to
believe it; and am very sure that Mr..
Adams himself will awake from this dream
when it is too late, aud find that only his
own spotless name can relieve him from the
damage Of the contact.-Mr. BLaine's Boston
Speech.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Democraticl of
last Thursday announces that Democratic
friend in Indiana writes to it that IL must not
look upon Indiana as certain Democratic
state, and then adds: "We do not. We
know something of the effort which tie Re
publicans are making out there, and we ad-
wise the Democrats to be up and doing. The
Republicans have money and they have or
ganization. Democrats cannot expect to use
money, but they can organize"
The Hartford Cowant truthfully remarks
The business men Of the country have de-
cided against him. There has been great
political change in New York within month.
1t is not simply that Mr.. Tilden has practi-
cally surrendered to Mr.. Hendricks, but
there is more and more reluctance to invite
such revolution as would accompany the
advent of the Democrats to power. The
business men want quiet; they have had
three years of disaster and hard times lin
common with large part of the world) and
now that they see prospect of serener times,
they are disposed to let well enough alone.
With Tiiden in they would be set afoat upon
sea of uncertainty. And change and un-
certainty now would be fatal.

Mr.. DIsRAELI made speech at Ayles-
bury Wednesday on the Eastern question.
He reviewed the course of England saying
that after the Berlin memorandum the Brit
ish government communicated freely and
frankly with the other powers. The asser-
ton that during this time the government
was carrying on sort of war with Russia
was monstrous. No power offered coopera-
ton so cordial as Russia. Eugland's policy
would doubtless have resulted in peace had
not Servia declared war, but after this dec
laration it was impossible to carry out the
views suggested. He said the Seryian war
was wicked and outrageous and that coun try
had violated every principle of honor and
morality. In closing the Premier foreshad-
owed the future policy of the British govern
ment in THESE words: "The next step for the
British government to take is to revert exactly
to the position # occupied before the Servian
war began, namely: To attempt, with the con-
currence of all the European powers, 10 settle
the relations between the Porte and the
Christians on the ayowed basis laid down by
Lord Derby. 1 believe that all the great
powers sincerely desire to come to conclu-
sion on the subject. Is it the desire of any
sensible man that, instead of such a course.
we should pursue any wild plans for driving
the Turks out of Eusope, which every Euro.
pean government is aware would, if attempt
ed, lead to an European war2'

Is 1t any wonder that the negroes are res
tive in South Carolina when speakers in that
state are uttering such sentiments as are con-
tained in the following:
"My friends, tell you there are certain men
you must put out of the way. Those men are
chamberlain, Elliott, Sparmck and others.
They must be killed, for they are leaders of the
negro, and if we can get rid of them we can
carry things as we want 'AeW W. , We don't.fsm
in the held, and we aro-ready, to meet them
again. [Cries of yes we ape," and applause
And now let me tail you what to do on election
day: CO, en- masse and armed, and try and
force the negroes to sote our ticket. II they
don't do it, shoot them down and cut off their
ears. warrant you tbs will teach them les
son; and, even if We art no. elected, we will go
to Columbia in force, and, if not allowed to
take our seats, we will surround the State
House and tear it down, aid show them we will
rule. What say you, mel, can't we do it?''
Loud cries of ''Yes, damn it yes."]

Mr.. TARBox puts Tilden and Hendricks
in the class with those who favor specific
measures to resume with coin and HAYES and
Wheeler in the class which favors resumption
ultimately but ADVISES waiting. Which is
equivalent to saying that the Democratic
party repealed the time clause Of the resump-
ton act so specie payment might be accom-
plished earlier than 1879. How these Demo-
cratic financiers have been misunderstood.

JUDGE SlNNoTT who furnishes the latest
explanation OF Gov. Tilden's income returns
was formerly his confidential Secretary. The
explanation is detailed denial of the cor.
rectness of the items of the Governors in

1t implies that that journal has deliberately
falsified and in matters too where exposure was
easy and certain to follow. This is altogether
improbable and doubtless another explana
ton will have to follow this one.
