POLITICAL NOTES.

Once moro the army is likelyto get the better OF
the Democratic party.
The Republican party can stand an oft-year pro-
vided there is extra session ot Congress lhro"h
in.
Mr. VOORHEES, begins to suspect that he isn't much
Of demagoguc after all, compared with such noble
specimens as Bland. Ewing and FELTON,
Every inducement should be made to have Mr.
Bland talk some more. Every time he opens bis
month he does the cause of honest money more ser
vice than all the efforts of It's friends combined
General Garfield was particularly severe on Judge
Ke,ev. but then the Judge won't mind it bit. His
arguments have been demolished many times be-
fore INF he always reconstructs them on the same
plan.
Wendell Phillips has no fear of a third term. He
saws the country has loated on by Grant, and when
the next convention meets ne will be SIX years
bebind time. His European trip will not help him
any for the coalition of the West and South Will
raise ND a new man for the Democracy against an
Eastern and hard-mOney man on the hepuDhcan
side.
The Greenback candidate for Governor of Wiscon-
SIN 10 neppering the public of that State with volu
n;,ous ordinations OF the reasons why he was not
oIocted Governor He thinks half the voters of the
c+ota st,ved ot home and that the n0n-vOtlng ones
we're ali for HIM If that is so he is giving his party
an excellent excuse for trying more popular candl
date next time.
Adelegation of eminent Massachusetts gentlemen
called upon the President the other day. and as they
were about to retire of them remarked that thoy
would no longer occupy the Presidents time, as they
had no axes grind, whereupon the President SAID
don't know you Massachusetts, people do have
axes, and you grind them pretty fine" AFTER tho
beautiful conduct of Simmons and the Endorsement
of the policy this seems harsh not to say ungateiu
There is a lull in the President-making business.
Congress has smashed Mr.. 1ildens johnny-cake
oven. and relieved Mr. Randall from his straddle by
postponing the subsidy question: Mr.. Hendricks Is
keeping his mouth shut and watching eagerly for a
new issue to indorse; General McCleani is out of the
race entirely and Uncle Dick Bishop is stroking his
heard and waiting for the lightning to hit him. IL
i an uucommOnly good time for the entrance OF a
new candidate. Perhaps that is what ails Senator
Thurman.
Slowly but surely William Allen rises mp as a very
possible United States Senator from Ohio. Mr.. PEN
deon's friends were about giving up hope OF elect
inc him According to liberal estimate by The
Cincinnati Enquirer, he can count on no more than
thirty votes the first caucus ballot, and IL will re-
ouire forty-sevon to nominate. The same journal
assigns twenty-Seyen votes to Ewing nineteen to
Norean. eight to llurd four to Durbin Ward, two to
Campbell two To Allen, and one To Payne. This
calcIilaion shows clearly enough that if the contest
ou,onp the three leading candidates becomes at all
bitter neither one Of them can bo nominated. Tho
Ozark horse" therefore, becomes OF interest and at
present this mysterious factor bears a striking re-
5embance to Nlllam Allen.
II is necessary to read the newspapers of the
country to find out what an immense amount OF
eloouence is being poured out at Washington, and
what a thrill of delight il is causing The usual
formula employed by the veracious correspondent
i'm conveying the gratifying news to an admIring
constituency is about follows: " Our member.
MIR. SHOCKS made his first financial speech in the
House to-day. IL commanded unusual attention,
and has placed him i'm the front rank of debaters ia
tho House. His defence of the money OF the people
was equal in force and eoquence to anything heard
IN Congress for many years The constituent
aforesaid is expected 10 swallow this without ques-
ton. when the real facts probably are that the
speech was either delivered to n beggarly array Of
empty benches, or merely filed TO be printed IN
The Record.
Governor-eoct Holiday of Virginia, is still af-
aicted with ptiable inability " speak sQuarely
