POLITICAL NOTES.

for the Hon. Roscoe COnkng when he reads tho letter
Counselor Marcns p. Norton Of Troy.
David Dudley Field is said in New Orleans
TO be at the bottom OF the Returning Board disturbance
| That accounts for IT'D sudden collapse
Mr. Tilden says he doesn't care TO go TO tho
United States Senate but he is backward in taking him
self out Of Mr. Hendrcks's way 1880 He is getting
robust. too.
The typertrophied condition Of Mr.. Tden's
brain and tho Astrophod condition Of his heart are
equally distressing the tender and sympathzng spirit
OF The Ner- York Ecening Express
The country is hungry to learn whether
Johnny Davenport the nimble U. g. Commissioner
proposes 10 hamstrne HIS pranc Ing political activities
IN compliance with the Presidents Civil Service order.
Ex-senator Lyman Trumbu is said to be
convert to the Presidents policy and to be in favor Of
party on that basis. Mr. Trumbulls experience in
now parties doesn't TO have discouraged him,
else this report is premature
| Mr.. BigelOw does not wish TO be Secretary of
State for another This will be welcome TO
that portion OF the Democratic Press Of this state which
opposed 10 the bestowa OF cmouments upon outsiders
who have never lifted at the party wheel
In solemn conversation with World reporter,
Mr.. Tildn remarks: In Government like ours raudu-
lent practices ster must GENE 10 light and the
guilty parties, with their practices, must be made known"
And then he thought OF Cronin and the Gobbe DIS
PATCH and wiped with his coat tail tear from his left
eye.
The selection of exc Congressman George F.
Hoar preside the Massachusetts Republican Con-
venton il interpreted pretty indication that
the Presidents will be indorsed by that body. Mr..
Hoar is an enthusiastic supporter of the President and
II the Chairman OF the state Committee, who chose
him for the position and who will DRAFT the platform.
Mr.. T'iden denies, it seems, having made
the remark atributedto him by World reporter, that
the drift OF public seemodto be towards
trely State ticket The statement ntrinsically
improbable. The present ncumbents were Mr.. Tidens
own candidates. with one or two executions and II Is
hardly likely that he would have cast them OIL In this
fashion.
Ex-Secretary DelanO gives the weight of
his opinion against the Resumption Act. He tells
Cincinnati Enquirer interviewer its enactment
without excuse. and its repeal unnecessary,
since il is OF no effect anyway The country is doing the
best to pay Its debts, and act resolution will
he able hurry any After this profound opinion Mr.
Delano remarked that he thought the consolidation OF
pension agencies a mistake and would result in big
frauds aud embellishments.
The Ohio Democrats have begun to fight
amongst themselves, usual. The imitation faction
started into the field time ago with slate which
put down ex-spcaker Converse for Governor and
George H. Pendleton for United States Senator. There
has been good deal OF promscuous rappng at this slate
for several days past but the most formidable blow has
the distribution OF adays charging Mr. Converse
with crOOkedness In his official record" IL all shows
that the party is as usual uncomfortably harmonious
District Attorney Finney of New-Orleans
confcsses that the Of the Returning Board have
indicted hut says the Grand Jury required him
10 nc tHc tncIo
to the Jury's to make an Indictment during
special term He says this in u card to me He1aId and
adds the gratutous information that the whole proceed
ing originated burning desire to bring guilty
to justice. The public would take stock in This
statement were he TO accompany IL with less partisan
fervor and nc TO stir mp with his powerful and
judicial bnlldozer two in his own party.
The denial is made with sOmo heat In Iowa
that the Republican candidate for Governor Is whole
sale liquor dealer" He is merely wholesale grocer,
though charged u hs State that like wholesale
grocers he sells wine and other liquors by
the case and barrel Whether he does not is OF
great Importance but the denial would carry more
weight II the newspapers making did not somewhat
harshy speak President the State Temperance
candidate If he endorsed the prOhbitoy plank IN tho
platform.
A Cincinnati merchant doesn't want the re-
cent action OF the Chamber OF Commerce that city in
favor OF pcsponing resumption OF specie payment 20
