POLI1IC4L NOTES.


The President is about to have opportunity TO
show his mettie.
Tho National Democratic mouth has opened.
Nothing but exhaustion viii shat 10.
An anti-subsdv resolution IN the HOnse will shake
the harmonious Democracy ike an e.iItbquake.
The country looks toward General Butler as who
sbould SAY: "Wi you give us some funT And the
General returns an awful WINK.
The inevitable William Allen has appeared al
ready m the Ohio Senatorial contest. Why won't
his friends LET him do his swearing IN priVaief
What with the Prohibition and tho other three
unnecessary parties in Massachusetts,, the Repuo-
hcaus OF that State are just little over the
prospect for November. The Prohibition agitators
desire to advance their cause some more by securing
the election of the Democratic ticket.
Considering that Mr. Cox had only five votes,
there was a prodigious amount Of trouble taken TO
let him down without damage. Perhaps it wasn't
on account Of Mr.. Cox at all. though, but for the
sake OF giving the impression that Mr.. John Kelly
was deserving of especial Difference at this time. Mt
POtters elaborate tribute was TOO Dlg Tor Mr. OoA,
but 10 might have been aimed at the laininaH
Boss.
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin has opened the Re-
publican campaign IN that State with q speech.
which is chiefly remarkable compilation OF last
wears political history. He is unable 20 get down
later than the decision of the Electoral Tribunal,
and has no space even 10 mention President Hayes
u,uch less To say word ahout his Administration.

Labor-Greenback party, is large in claims if not IN
votes Its leaders say they will poll nearly quite
300 600 votes in November and viii show power
enough To contest the next Presidential election.
This is undoubtedly ridiculous eXaggeration of the
strength of the movement, yet IL must be admitted
tine combination Is dangerous enough to give the
Democrats a chance OF carrying the state.
Senator Cameron of Wisconsin. is inclined to
think the Ohio defeat Will harm the Republicans OF
his state httle There are. he saws. good many
dissatisfied Republicans there, and there are also
some me .nbers 81 the party who will vote for tie
Creenback ticket. The unhappy Republicans Ike
the nolicy well enough but don't like the President
mis- woud seem to indicate that there are some pa
triots i'm Wisconsin VINO desire Civil Service re-
form when will reform them INTO Office.
Tho Iowa Republicans are a good deal elated over
the figures of their triumph. and are not bit back
ward in calling attention to their treatment OF the
question of ndorsng the President the true one.
Their candidate for Governor has n plurality 49,
600 larger than their candidate in the last ofiyear
and about \ 900 larger than their candidate IN $50.
The minority in the Legislature IL larger than III las
been for many years TINS certainly shows no lal-
ing oil in the party streng h. and makes good OASIS
for almost any sort OF u boast.
Mr. Hendricks reached indianapolis on Saturday,
