POLITICAL NOTES.


ed.
There arc SO many tickets in the
field this year that every ambitious
citizen can be accommodated with
nomination for something.
Mr.. Irish, Democratic candidate
tor governor Of Iowa, is the first
native Of chat State ever nominated
for that particular Office.
Tho Democratic majority in the
California Legislature hitherto re-
ported as thirty eight, is really
tifty-one, which is three less than
last year.
The nearly unanimous opinion Of
the Southern press is that President
Hayes, is fully reconstructed and
ought to have his disabilities re.
moved.
The late election in California
has smashed tho Sargent slate for
next years gubcrnatorial contest.
Some other than Sargent will make
the new slate.
1t is announced by authority in
tho Norfolk Lcdger that Mr.
Goodo, of Virginia, one Of the cans
dldates for Speaker, is friend of
the Texas Pacific Railroad.
General Mcclellan is an awful
slow mau, according to tho Rcpub~
llcan newspapers, but somo Of them
will live long enough to sec him
get ahead OF the other fellow by u
large majority
About every county in Pcnnsyl~
vania that has chosen delegates to
the next Republican State Conven-
ton presents candidate for gov
crn0r.
Half tho newspapers in the coun--
try arc now snpposing what would
be the result should General
Mcclellan become tho Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in
1850.
Virginia ropudiationists threaten
to scratch the name of General
Walker, tho Conservative candidate
for acknowledgements. Reason
His outspoken declarations in favor
of paying the State debt at any
Sacrifice
General Mcclellan has accepted
the nomination for governor in
New Jersey, and he will run like
creased Jersey lightning. Tho
best thing the Republicans can do
is to shut up shop, declare that they
don't care a darn about the thing
anyhow, and lot the band play.
1t is a good thing that Secretary
Schurz hastcncd back to Washing
ton. Some ''iriond Of tho party in.
Ohio" took advantage of the Sec~
retary's absence to so through tho
clorks of the interior Department
for campaign funds.
Boss Twccds revelations seem
likely to mako q bran now set of
lesser statesmen necessary in Now
York. Some of those who have
hitherto had the States affairs on
their shoulders have como up with
characters as short us their hair.
It is stated by the Rochester
Democ,'ut and Chronicle, which is y
Republican organ, that Mr.. Randall
will be elected Speaker, and that
it will DO q triumph of the subs
sidists. Mr.. Randall will DO glad
to hear . part Of this news at least.
Tho Indianapolis Jouna1 says
"a man whose resources arc equal
to every demand and who honors
all drafts made upon his moral and
intellectual nature is q great man.
President Lincoln was that sort Of
man, and thus far President Hayes
has shown that no is also"
Tho Vicksburg (NIiss.) Conanacr-
ciM says: 'NNc think the South has
sufficiently advanced in the matter
of reconstruction to claim some
share in the Federal Government,
and We should like to SEQ Goode, or
some other Southern man, in tho
Speakers chair as an offset to tho
poor penitent in tho Cabinet"
Governor Chamberlain has got
half way ovor to the support of tho
Hayes administration. Ho now
takes civil service reform as q
steady beverage, and us tho whole
