POLITICAL NOTES.


DR.. Loring's nomination for Congress seems
assured He has all but three OF the "a delegates so far
| chosen TO the district convention.
| Gen. Fitzpatrick didn't come back to New
Jersey He insists that he to remain Indiana
waving the bloody Shirt until the election. His gfs
however as correspondent seem to be less IN dema-G
Every Democrat thinks now that the practice
OF September elections is demoralizing. Vermont be-
comes bonighted State with stationary population
In short it's the third fourth bad bIack eye OF ths
campaign.
The first cOlored candidate for Governor Of
State Is W. f. Yardley OF Tennessee. He announces
himself as an Independent Republican and declares
himself in favor Of paying every cent OF the State in
debtedness.
ROlard G. Usher of Lynn, who is we'll
known manager Of Buffers is prominent candidate for
the Republican nomination for Congress in Gen. Bankss
district His friends assert that he has already nearly
enough votes to nominate him.
Frank w. Bird, in reply to a request from
Henry B. Blackwell that he aid in inducing tho Demo
cratic Convention 20 pass resolution similar to that
proposed in the Republican Convention giving women
the right to vote In tho primaries declined to do So
chiefly on the ground that he objects giving to any
one women, the power TO select candidate for
right TO vote at all"
The prospect of Mr. Adams's nomination
does not 10 have excited much alarm among Mas
sachusetts Republicans. The Springfield Union says
" Last year Gov. Rice strong candidate this year
he is much stronger promises performed
convincing than promises alone II he strong enough
last year to reconquer the STATE ate, from triumphant %
quadrupied maJOrit -
Ex-senator Lafayette L. Foster, now on the
Supreme bench Of Connecticut, who supporter Of
Mr. Greeley In 1872, and Democratic candidate for
Congress last year. recently summed his views in this
way: al would rather Gov Tilden elected than 10
witness continuation of such administration Prcsi
dent Grants but woud much rather Republican
PresidrnG OF drnness, intelligence, and integrity elected
than Gov Tiden; and believe that Gov hayes pcs
those Qualities"
The Louisville Courier-JOurndl has lurid
review OF the political situation with the by sterc date
OF 1:30 which predicts great things Of Ohio and
Indiana. II says: "a private note just received from
the Hon. John G. Thonpsop chairman OF the Ohio Com
mitee say to you with all seriousness that We
in hands to sweep the State and that without
the use OF dollar to corrupt votes, our iriends Viii
aOd help turn back the tide OF falseh0od Ths
Is good news indeed
South Carolina Democrats have begun work
the ranks Of the colored voters The Charleston News
and Courier prints list Of about so colored
signatures obtained after three four days effort
to pledge from which the following is an extrlct:
believing that by cooperating with white people
prosperity and concord will prevail
stae also believing that the white will protect and
advance the interest of and long the whito
promises to protect and advance the interest OF
further pledge ourselves tO cooperate Win tlem
in securing good national State, and city government
The Express protests that Gov. Seymour did
not the words Ny Friends to address the rioters in
1863 but rather to address the men trying to preserve
tie peace Why then did he tell them to dsperse and
home that he had sent his acknowledgement TO Washing
ton and going to stop this dratti Democrats must
not DO surprised at the general overhaung Of war
records In tins State SO long as they insist on nomi-
Mating people who identified with the history Of
their party during the they must expect the old hos
tility TO ane out Old issues ought to be put out OF
sight but 1t cannot be done by forcing forward the men
who made them.
Ex-Goy. Vance of North Carolina has enough
Gins OF utterauce atone for without being held re-
sponsbe those of which he is not guilty 1t ia salts
faction to that be used the words attributed
TO him by number OF Republican papers, beginning,
am sorry that laid down my arms In 1865 am in
favor OF reensaying the negro" &c. Congressman Scott
Lord addressed letter few days since Judge Thomas
Ashe OF North Carolina, inquiriDg TO the truth Of
the charge. Judge Ashe replies that the pretended
quotation ia lie OF whole coth.' He infers this
from the fact that all his intimacy with Gov Vance,
he has nsyer heard him utter any such sentiments or
any thing like them" and knows them 10 be the reverse
OF his real sentiments An authorized denial would naye
been conclusive but the report OF eXG0v. Vances
language was highly improbable, to say the least.
Gen. Kilpatrick's letter to Gov. Hayes had
hardly been made public before letter Gov. Hen
dricks from a Mr.. Brown was published which begged a
sealed letter OF introduction Mr. Wattcrson Of The
Louisville CourierJ0,arot business that woGld not
compromise any one The Republican papers have
watterson rises explain that Mr. Brown bore nfCrma
ton of Republican plot TO eoon1e Indiana with voters,
and that has been frustrated in advance by the estab
lishment Of pickcline along the entire Kentucky
Indiana 'front.'" which is fully organized" That picket
line brilliant idea but It suggests the painful sus.
Democrats slip through 20 Indiana, or that the whole
manouver worthy OF the who has such laurels
in journalism ana parliamentary law but 1t has Its little
drawbacks.
A pleasant paper is The GreenriUe rs. c.
Enterprise paper full OF the spirit of reconciliation and
brotherhood. This is specimen from its editorial col
umns "Tho Democrats everywhere have by words
branded the Republicans with iniamy. and called them
thieves and scoundrels. 1t III becomes Democrat who
thus speaks TO associate with whom he thus de-
nounces! Gov. Vance once asked Ben Hill how 1t was
that Georgia had got fer ahead Of North Carolina in
putting down radlcalism. Hill replied tho was
very obvious. When man OF social position joins tho
radical party in Georgia not only brand him with in
fanny but put him Ia coventry. and all social inter
course with HIM ia broken of But In North Carolina
you meet him treat him you formerly did In the
one he feels his nfany and is deferred and in the
other case he does This Is worthy OF al
sidcration and let every true Democrat act on it, As
long such cattle the writer OF the foregoing are al
lowed TO ran around loose long there will be
for those who fly tho bloody shirt
What the Democrats do not lose by blun-
dering they bid fair TO lose by delay Tie Philadelphia
Times trying TO them with this friendly advice:
advantage gained by early start Is little
precated by the Democrats the danger In the
long postponcment of Tdens letter; but when hear
daily Of the dgent that the National Committee Is
doing how hard Gov. Tilden's clerks working and
what pile o; correspondence they attending 10, 1t
looks as II the Democratic campaign to be fought
on another basis. Organization Is all very well udoed
IL impera;vey necessary 10 success but IL would DO
better /, the Democrats showed little desire meet tho
Republicans their ground, 10 discuss the issues
