POLITICAL NOTES.

Voice OF the people to President Hayes So
! far, well.
They don't call II new Administration, but
The best thing that can be said of President
Hayess inaugural is that it pleases the extremists Of
| 1t looks now as if there might be general
fusng Of political elements preparation for
| ing the material in other mOlds.
| There is good deal of solid truth in the
observation of The Cincinnati Enquirer that Holman
viii never be able to get many members OF the last
| House to stump his district"
| If Republicans would refrain from insulting
the SLAIN they prance the field and IL Democratic
cOrpses would arrange themselves nicely in rows for
convenient burial it would prove that the labors Of
Messrs. Moody and sankey have not been fruitless.
1t is possible that there may be mistakes
made Washington of these days. for after all there
is lack OF positive proof that the Millennium began pre-
cisely at the 5th of March instant. Which pre-
vious Administration (snce tnat OF George the Third
| succeeded in pleasing everybody
The Democrats of New Hampshire are on
still hunt they have decided that 1t is useless to az
tempt elect their candidate for Governor The Repub
cans fear the former and are working with yielr TO
poll their full vote. Some despOndeDt Democrats place
Mf. Presc0tts majority as high as 5000.
The Democratic party has been so often
pronounced slperannuated, decrep and morbund that
political fOrtune-telers have grown cautious about
turing predictions of its impending doom. But II Demo
cratic principles in the future to be empty negaOns,
Democratic policy is TO consist OF childish petuance
and pouting. and flying flags at hafmast and refsals
seventh knows that the party will soon be dealer
than O'MahOny or the Literary Bureau
An absurd paragraph has been floating around
for finding its way into such respectable
columns those Of The Bugato Comier-to the effect
that exGov Fenton frankly expressed few days ago in
the vote louisiana the Presidency The single
truth in the paragraph is that eIGOv Fenton was IN
Washington The rest Of it, as everybody who has had
any communication with him since the election knows
perfectly WELL is preposterous and grotesque alsehood
The Hon. r. L. Van Horn, who has received
the unusual compliment OF a recommendation for
Cabinet position from aLegslaure outside OF his own
State. is resident OF Kansas City, Mo. He served IN the
XXXXth. XLtb and XLIst Congresses, and has repre-
sened Missouri on the Republican National Committee
He has done than any other man TO make kansas
city metropolis of the Missouri Valley, and Is thor
oughy identified with what is known the New West
For many The Kansas Cy Jonrndto Of Commerce mas
been under his editorial charge and through lis columns
he has aided largely in elcyatng western Journalism
Cabinet rumOrs are jOstling up State politics IN
wonderful way Here for instance the Massachusetts
commotion as stated The Boston Globe IL Gov Rice
should be selected for position III president Hayess
Cabinet as very likely local politics here In
Massachusetts will suddenly become interesting. Lieut.
Knight succeeding MIN III tne cn"H'
would naturally fall into line a candidate next Fail
for the party nomination for Governor thus upsettns
the calculations Of leaders and smashing some states
which have been arranged with exceeding care. Then
what is Importance just now, ieutG0y hnlght
is ProhbitiOnlst and his elevation 10 the chaf WOd

front again. and along with i the yexe question winch
