unanimty and Mr.. Randalls prospects are brighten
ing.
The disturbing influence of Stanley Matthews
in politics is about to pass away like troubled
dream
1t doesn't seem as if the German vote Of Cincinnati
had been secured by the appointment of German
to the Cabinet-thats fact. There must be
screw loose III the arrangement somewhere.
There is no sign that the Ohio clerks reached home
in time to vote. If there had been much trouble
taken to get ont the voters who were at home. as
there was to get the clerks there, the result might
have been different.
Mr.. Hendricks frowns down all illusions to himself

nominating begins Experience will tell
The prospect for split in the Democratic party is
not brilliant The voters Of that organization now
stay at home and fail to support the ticket.

~ enthusiastic about the party's victory In ONO.
He has suspicion that 1T is not very desirable
triumph which sends George ii. Pendeton to the
Senate and thrusts to the front, as the National
creed Of the party, one of the worst platforms ever
cOncOcted
One of the worst misf0rtunes which has happened
TO the President lately is cordial Endorsement from
Uncle Jimmy Blue Jeans, of Indiana. Uncle Jimmy
doesn't say as much, but he talks if he would be
willing to "pass' the Presidents cattle through
ngeanyD if he had the opportunity, so great Is Ills
respect for him.
The Democratic unhappiness in Somerset County,
New-Jersey, has eliminated in the publication OF
special newspaper, branded with the familiar, but
always stirring motto, Eternal vigilance is tho
price of liberty" and crammed full of aihdavits and
letters. all aimed at the Hon. Avah A. Clark, Con-
gresham from that District. 1t Is difficult to ascer-
tain what the trouble is all about but the most care
less reader cannot fail to be impressed with the
startling array of oaths and adJectlves
There is a story told of Patterson in South Caro-
lima which throws food of light upon the sly ways
of that prosecuted patriot. When no was "nego-
tating" for his election the United States Senate
he opened his headquarters in large second-story
room and bought his votes as boldly as he would have
bongnt cattle in market-place AS fast as be Sc
cured member and received his pledge, he directed
him to go over to the rival headquarters and sell out
to the other side, to weaken their treasury. All
this was done without Disguise and the casual
visitor could tako in the whole operation without
impairment curiosity. Patersons methods for de-
VclDping tho moral sentiment or the coOred voters
were slightly eccentric.
Mr.. Evarts complains of the injustice which has
been done the President by some of the newspapers
in taking disconnected sentences from his speeches
and constituting them to mean something entirely diff

President in the South was enthusiastic it was
i'm New-Engand, and Dr Evarts does not think the
Northern Republicans ought TO grumble, when tho
President was popular among the ex-COniederates.
Unless the papers in the West stop crticsing the
President, he thinks they had better take tIip out
there In regard to himself, Mr. Eyarts said to IA
correspondent of The Cincinnati COmmeIcdt, that an
effort was being made To represent him as Liberal,
or something outside of the Republican party. Inns

at every election since the party organized, and
had never voted any other.

from this city to friend in Alabama that he has
long believed that our form of Government is il
lusivc and unsubstantal," that Hayes has annihi-
lated Republicanism,n and that the Grand old

man consoles himself that he is speeding to the
abodes of tho blest where venal politicians will not
annoy u.s." IL might be inferred from this burst OF
pety that the Judge is gracing the pulpit but he is
not. He Is practlcBg law, and finds the rates OF
