POLITICAL NOTES.

New Bedford (Mass.l Mercnry:-"We think tho
President, II no has any sense Of humor, must be
amused at the political significance which the Washing
ton qudnuncs attach to his recent appointments
There was vacancy in the English mission He could
not have made better appointment thar Mr.. Pierre
pont distinguished lawyer, OF high character, fine
talents ana ample wealth."
Wilmington lDeLl Heraid:-'In war Grant was a stern
officer slow In action ana generally successful in his
movements; but whether he will prove so in political
manGuvre remains to DO seen His recent combination
to overthrow Blaine certainly had the effect OF start
ling the country and looked though Grant in poll
tics, as in war. was worry strategic leader"
Worcester tMass.) Spy:-sBayard is most likely 10
gain by this breakdown OF Tilden. Many othors be-
sides Judge Church will begin to regard him strong
candidate; and when 1t shall be seen that the rag
baby fight has slaughtered Hendricks Thurman, Bill
Allen and Tildcn all parties DO ready to adopt
Bayard, without asking questions"
Richmond Enquircr:--.sIn Bayard we have the only
compromise man who fills the measure OF statesman
ship demanded by tho times. He get large
vote in New York as TiIden, as 4rge in Penn
sylyanla as Hancock, large vote In Indiana as
Hendricks and larger vote in Connecticut ana New
Jersey than either of the other prominent candidates
Tho South will be unit in his support and with
parallccd enthusiasm. With Bayhrd at tho head OF
the ticket defeat out Of the question"
Baltimore Gdsetfe:-'sTnere seems to be somo doubt
ns the ability Of Senator Cameron deliver tho
Pennsy lvana delegation MI. Conkling at Cincinnati
This is all nonsense The Nestor of tho republican
party undertakes TO do anything which he
not perform II ho says Pennsylvana's voto in the
Convention Will be cast for Mr.. Conkling why It will
That no elect Mr. Conkling 10 entirely different
affair But If lie has tho bargain TO give those
my eight the New York Senator they will be
given. Only tho Blaine men pretend to doubt his
ability in this respect"
ST. Louis Tmes:--"Fcrnando Wood may be strictly
honest In his belief that Judge Davis would prove an
acceptable candidate to tho democracy but he should
have acquainted himself somewhat moro familiarity
WITH the drift Of democratic sentiment in tho West be-
fore allowing his disgust with New York politics to get
SO much the better Of his discretion"
Springfield In,on:- .Gcncral Hancock is good
enough fellow, but the fact that he is military
against his availability. We doubt II even Sherman,
great is his popularity could carry the country this
year, profound and general Is tho feeling that
don't any soldier Presidents just at present.
II over Eight years ago tho popular feeling
tirely different"
Chicago Post and Mail 1.-THE latest ana largest
estimate of Brisows strength from the Cincn-
natl Commercial which predicts that lie will have from
los to IFS tho first ballot, and will gain
each subsequent ballot until he gets the nomination.
II he is not nominated tho Commercial would DO
surprised the fight narrowed down 10 Hayes and
Washburne"
Philadelphia Herald :-"Presidcnt Grant II seems,
has just discovered the existence OF Pennsylvania and
so capvated Is he with the States solid merits that he
showers honors upon her thick and fast Ex-Siate
Senator Ruan tho editor of tho Beaver Radical and
ono Of the strongest hackers OF the Cameron dynasty,
has been nominated to DO Consul Florence We have
rumors that other federal appointments arc to como
along this way, and II they pan out shall DO abun-
dainty thankful"
Pittsburg Commercial :-"Bayard begins to loom In
place OF Tiden. Tho former was o littic more pro-
nounccd than the latter in his opposition the war
Cecil (Md) Democrat :-"But the repeated exhibition
Of the superiority OF trained skill reckless vaor In
nominating conventions ought to the anti-Conk-
ngitcs that the Winncbago Chief when he sets to
win for strange services fearful demorazer,
and may win tho battle from the strong Betting men
may judiciously take Conkling against the ncld''
Washington ~ C) Teiegrdm:-"Don Cameron Secrc-
tary OF War; What warriorl What man, too for
the head OF a department! wc read OF visiting Of
the Of the father upon the son. but here the
OF the father tho old Secretary Of War; and OF the son.
the new Secretary OF War, visited upon the whole
people"
Dcacdre State Journdf-"wc have further evil
dcncc Of the growing favor with which Mr.. Bayard
is regarded as candidate OF tho democratic party
for President We are confident that the great ma
jority Of the people OF this State will join in
jocng every evidence of the probability Of his nom
nation tho people OF both parties here recognize his
ability and personal worth, and those who would
fccl constrained by their political principles TO vote
against him frankly say that II a democrat is to be
elected At all they would rather that democrat should
-
why not? wo can conceive or plenty OF reasons why
the republicans OF Delaware should feel bound
against his election but not OF single why they
should regret HIS nomination"
Boston Giobc:-"Bayard, OF Delaware, is looming up
bigger md bigger daily, Mr. Tidcn He may be, after
all, the Black Horsc.n
Boston Adrertiser:--"W We do not agree with those
who proclaim that Mr. Brisow Is the only republican
who the party; but willing and glad TO
express faith In his fidelity and appreciation OF
his signal services The party and the country"
Boston Posf:-"Thc American people never wit
messed such before Is to-day enacted wholly
within NE lines OF tho republican party, that party
which by Its cry for reform confesses the Of
having made IL 80 necessary In other days, which
have usually been referred to with acctaon OF SUI
pcriorlty, not Of contempt by the republican jour
nails the exposure of Presidential aspirant tho i'm
efforts would have been enough dispose OF his hopes
permanently. What remedy is there for such NOR

party within which these practices not cause
OF surprisc " is not necessary 10 say anything about
the republican parys policy promises long this
tho spectacle which the best show 1t make or
It's character"
Dover (DeL) .Scntinei"Ai the indications point 10
the nomination OF Governor TiIdcn at ST Louis. He
will certainly be the winning horse II the friends Of
Horauo Seymour do not stab him ia the back. Tildens
danger is In Seymour"
Worcester Mass Press:-"Is Bristow skiful dplo-
matistf We have no assurance that he Isl and II not
he not the to be vested with tho responsibility
which such an emergency would create. We might go
thr ough the qualifications and ask like questions
each Of them aud the answer in each
would be that Bristow is honest man, but further
than that no man can speak. Bristow Is ono OF
Grants discoveries, the same as BcIknap ia"
