POLITICAL NOTES.

After all, the Senate chamber seems to be
infested with some sensible statesmen.

" haze" already. He says: Pm Republican YETI
TO accuse man of being no politician is to

| pledges.
The Senate has adjourned until Tuesday
and Bogys mouth won't be apt to get the best Of him for
| twenty-four hours at least.
| Having got his Cabinet confirmed, President
Hayes has gained possession o the ouposts and he can
now move upon the citadel.
Senator Anthony denies that ex-President
Grants interview with him at the Capitol had
to the nomination OF Carl schurz Secretary OF the
| Interior.
| AS the prospect of a breach among the Re-
publican lessons the despair the Democrats
increases Their despOndency almost equals that Of

The English saying that "the Americans
are always voting for somebody" has little pernency

The gales that sweep from the north bring
TO our ears no clash OF resOunding Put your ear
very close the political telephone and You may be able
to hear Beebc up in NewHampshire; but Beebe Is
subdued and gently sucking dove. And
when Beebe doesn't climb right up top OF things and

Here is the Springfield prophet again! 1t
was only on tie Sd inst that he made the following
really quite kind remarks about clever Ncw-iork aor-

charming gentleman and very clever attorney ana that
