Political Notes.

The New York Times calls attention
to the fact that ssthe nearest approach
in the North TO the terrorism by which
it is sought to give the solid Southern
vote to Tilden was practiced in New
York under the auspices Of the Demo
cratic party during the Tammany re-
gime, and to some extent since under
Kelly.n
The Evansville (Ind.) Journal having
studied Hendricks letter of acceptance,
asks leave to report. "He plants him
self ~squarely and fearlessly upon both
sides of the Democratic national plat
form, and intimates, in spirit If not in
words, that he proposes to fight 1t out
on that line, if it takes him all sum
mer.n
The st. Louis Times admits that the
people of the South remember General
Grant as an honorable adversary, and
says they win be slow to forget that he
acted as a gentleman and soldier at
Vicksburg and Appomattox. This is
cheering. They will probably recall the
fact that he was President in the course
Of the next ten years.

Currency Committee in reporting a bill
to repeal the resumption clause in the
resumption bill, and says: 1.-THE whole
course of the committee has been farci-
cal. The currency reformers of the
country will not be deceived by this
claptrap business; they must make a
more aggressive fight than ever"
Hendricks perpetrates a frst-class
bull in his letter of acceptance. He
says: "Permit me, in conclusion, to ex-
press my satisfaction at being associat-
ed with a candidate for the Presidency
soho is first among his equals as a repre-
sentative of the spirit or of the achieve
ments of reform in his official career"

said: "Be jabbers, the last horse comes
in first this time; he was behind before

Alexander Mcclure, of the Philadel-
phia Times, who has IN excellent ear
for political figures, says: IF Ohio and
Indiana both go to the Republicans
or to the Democrats, the contest will
be settled. / would regard Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey, New York, Connecti-
cut, New Hampshire, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Cal
ifornia, and Oregon as reasonably GER
tain to follow in November under the
united lead of Ohio and Indiana in Oc-
teber
The Cincinnati Commercial, in an
effort to determine Democratic senti-
ment on the Tilden and Hendricks let
tiers, says: THE greenback editor who
was sore over the defeat of Hendricks
at st. Louis is fully persuaded that it is
Tilden who has been converted. The
hard-money editor glories in the success
of Tilden's missionary labors with Hen
bricks. The more dispassionate find it
difficult to determine where the
work of convention began and where
it ended"
The Boston Traveller to General
Banks: "While there are many Repub-
licans in the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict who would c~heerfully vote for Gen
eral Banks as an avowed Republican,
there is a growing desire that he should
commit himself to the support Of the
Republican ticket, and a support Of the
policy OF the party. Two years ago
"Independency'' was popular, but just
now there is a drawing tight of the
party lines, and men can no longer re-
main on the fence and draw all men to
their support" 80
Pen portrait Of Governor Coke, Of
Texas, by the San Antonio Republican
Governor Coke is a creation of Dem
ocratic folly and partisan blindness-he
is a monument to hate and misrule,
When he rose to accept the nomination
for Governor, he was almost an un'
known man; but his large frame, his
coarse heavy features, shaggy beard
and overhanging brows, stamped hin
s the evil genius which Democracy, II
It's recklessness, had called forth from
his hiding place to preside over the des
