POLITICAL NOTES.

"Let us have peace" has given place to
"There is peace"
A President with a policy backed up by
ability to carry it out is inspiration and a boon
Simpson of South Carolina sweeps grandly
into history as the man who wouldn't swear twice.
Even blind man ought to be able to see
that the onsterm principle powerful agent Of
political reform.
The embryo Wing party is in imminent
danger OF being sranglcd at its BIRTH by an attempt TO
swallow the Greenback party.
The country will now have chance to see
how Democratic Legislature in South Carolina will
conduct itself when on its good behavior
WarmOth says there is only one party in
Louisiana now and Of course he is in it. 1t must be
pleasure him get rid OF the and tear OF change
from organization to another.
The new Legislature In Louisiana has bet
ter knack at making United states Senators than its i'm.
mediate predecessors Spoord IL refreshment after
Kellogg and Pnclback and West
The Democratic press does not seem espe-
ciay anxious the Of David Dudley Field to
Congress- There to be suspicion that the party
can't stand much more OF his kind OF service.
Gen. Banks prefers to wait awhile before
giving his opinion the policy. He thinks its fu
ture depends upon the use which the Southern people
make OF the power given them and therein with
everybody As Tor the session. e thinks it
will LAST for two or three months at least.
After the Hon. Miles Ross of New-Bruns-
wick has encouraged himself with morning cocktail. he
russ his thumbs into the armhOes of his vest stands
up sauarey Oh heels, and wonders Leon Albeit
expects to pick up that nomination for Governor of New
Jersey without Grieco-Roman tussle
Packard might have made good governor
II he had only had more ROOM His sway extended over
25OO square feet by actual measurement and the from
tiers of this territory occupied all the time by the
Federal constabulary. Such pent-up Utica was not
enough to hold fully developed policy.
The Hon. VIM. Pitt Kellogg must himself
begin to dstrust the title which given him by the
oleOmargarnc government Of Louisiana. When the
very same legislators who pretended to elect HIM now
vote for another and thus only acknowledge tho
woressness OF their former action, but reruda,e him
personally, Mr Kellogg might as well consider himself
obsolete.
One of the most absurd charges ever made
is originated The Boston Post TO the eject
that Senator Anthony bought his last reflection to tho
Us Senate the Senator had all but four Of the 101
votes cast by the Legislature the charge is grotesqre
its face. Any who knows anything about Rhode Is
land politics knows that Mr. Anthony Will have that
In Senate just long as he wants IT, and 1t
won't DC necessary for him to spend any money either
Mr.. Wade's Indignation is of the same
quality as that which boiled within him in 1864. Ho
began pronunciamiento against Mr. Lincoln at that
time with the assertion We have eadwh surprise but
not without Indignation the proclamation OF the Prcs
Gent;" and then added, after enumeratng long cata
logue of imaginary evils Such the fruits of this
rash the Presdent-a blow at the friends
Of his Administration, at the rights OF humanity, and at
the principles Of republican government"
The latest charge against the President is
that he is responsible for Secretary Thompsons
what peculiar views in favor OF new Wing party. This
is an unnecessary well stupid falsehood. The
Presidents ambition is clearly enough to make record
that shall be honor to himself and blessing to tho
country He Is not troubling himself about the rise or
downfall OF parties ana ne mas no neea Of dolGg 80,
it, OF having the whole people behind him.
There has been great deal of mysterious
talk about letter written by exAttorney General Taft,
severely critcsng the policy Of the President Nobody
knows whom was written to what 1t contains, but
every Democratic editor l the land Is convinced Oft

approach to specification is the assertion that tho

which realize that President Hayes deserves
