POLITICAL NOTES.

Ou Cuc Dellci ~ Ilc ohlS IlhCC
where Hayes can put Stanley
Matthews out of the reach of the
ballot~boXes.
Congress ought to 60 to work
with knowledge of the fact that
the people of this country loudly
demand q resumption of reform.
The Democrats Of Bucks county,
Pennsylvania, have resolved that
Hayes Inauguration was fraud.
Information of this kind is becoming
vory 6 oneral.
TheYonly man defeated on the
Republican Legislative ticket in
cleveland, Ohio, was tho colorcd
nominee Tho colorcd man can no
longer depend upon his "friends."
Packard to Hayes on tho Ohio
election-"I told you 50" Evident
ly somebody iished in Ohio very
successfully with Packards bait
and tackle.
Stanley Matthews was sworn in
rs Senator from Ohio Oh the 18th,
and tho soft winds about the
Capitol whispered of forty-two
Democratic majority just elected in
the Ohio Legislature.
An ex-Confcderate soldier sits in
the Hayes Cabinet, and the ox-Vicc
President Of tho cX-Confedcracy
nominated Mr.. Randall for Speaker
in the Democratic caucus.
Cameron hasn't delivered himself
on tho Ohio election, and hasn' t
been interviewed since tho Buckeye
majoritios have pretty much all
been flooded away and the Demo
cratic river is still rising.
Cox lost his temper because the
New York delegation decided that
the State would not claim tho
Speaker. He had tho constitution
al right to differ from them, and he
did it with violent and Drofanc
enorgy.
The Cincinnati Commercial is of
tho opinion that tho President
wasn't sufficiently indorsed in the
Republican platform. There seems
to be lack of something Of that
kind in the returns from the
Western Reserve also.
Sergeant at Arms French, Of tho
Senate, promptly denies the state
ment, originated by the Washington
correspondent Of Cincinnati paper,
that he has been doing anything SO
foolish MS the signing of duplicate
certificates.
Judge Black goes to Now Orleans
to prosecute the Louisiana fraudu~
lent returning board, and OK Con
gressmen Shollnbarger, of Ohio, and
Wilson, Of Iowa, arc to defend
them. Is the game worth the
powder that's to be wasted on it?
The Chicago Tribune has joined
tho army of Secretary Sherman
enomics and demands that he either
abandon his resumption scheme or
resign. Public opinion all poin S
that way, but Sherman is 10th.
And now if Tildcn joins Conllling
to overthrow Kelly and swings New
York into the Republican column,
while Massachusetts tumblcs ovel
to the Democracy, whero will the
confusion end? In that case who
could straighten out the tangled
political skeins of 1877?
The Nebraska Republicans met il
State Convention, nominated {
ticket, and, after lively iilibusterine
over the issue, tabled a resolution
indorsing the President by 131 te
129. Judging by the result il
Iowa and Maine, they will now b'
able to give m increased Ropubli
can majority.
Patterson is sometimes logical i
not always honest. He says that
Wade Hampton is tho proper ma,
for Governor of South Carolina
Butler must be the proper man t.
represent that State in the Senate
Patterson boing right onco in hi
life, we record it for tho sake O
reference.
West thinks it was Matthews
Matthews thinks it was West
Garfield thinks it was both; Sher-
man thinks it was all three
Halstead thinks there wero four o
them, and Deacon Smith thinks i
was all of them and pretty mucl
