POLITICAL NOTES.

Ras- The business in hand now is to
put the Democratic party out of power
In Congress. When this shall be done
there will be time to talk about the next
President. - Cincinnati Gazette.
B6y~ When Ben Butler is awakened
suddenly he is obliged to ask his
private secretary which party he be-
longs to-; and the clerk replies: "The
other party, ir."-- Washington Post.
nay Thurman's friends are running
him too hard. They may pump the
wind out of him. Remember, politi-
clans, that he is venerable nag-the
pace is too fast to last. Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Bas" The President should give the
stalwarts the butcher-knife wherever he
can reach them. They are treacher-

Thoroughly wounded in every re-
spect. y Cincinnati Commercial.
BdsH the typical Democrat in Arkan-
sas is Greenbacker of the Brick Pom
eroy type. His interest in the Govern
ment is limited Just now to its function
of turning out money for the people. -
Boston AdUertiSer.
BSlS" "Absolute money" is what the
New York Nationals demand. That
means irredeemable rags. In talking
about what the leathern-lunged Judge
Kelley calls "feenance" it is well to
use the right terms Herald.
ReS~ They're afraid Grant will make
himself King, eh! The man who, when
at the head of 100000 veterans, con-
tented himself with simply executing
the laws, will not be likely to play the
despot to any great extent when he be-
comes President and finds himself Com
mander-in-C Chief of $4,000 soldiers
Columbus Herald.
Boz Ten Democrats and two Repub-
licans assembled in Augusta Me-, a
few days since, to form a Greenback
Club. One of the Republicans was
elected President and the other Secre-
retary, in order to give the impression
that the movement was drawing most
heavily from the Republicans Boston
Journal. ....
B65" We have some good men in
Congress already, and what is the first
thing to be done is to gain more, until
there be secured an adequate represen-
tation in Congress of the people of this
nation, and not of its filth and offscour-
ings-of its wise men and not of its
otfice-seekers. - CongregdtionaliSt.
Bay" The old rebel yell goes up in
earnest when Democratic convention
declares that State Court may nullify
the decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and when the judi
cial nullifier is renominated by accla-
nation Cincinnati Gazette.
BGy" The subcommittee should probe
to the bottom the most damaging
charge yet sworn to against Sherman.
Collins, the Democratic stenographer,
swears " he heard Sherman laugh as
he (Collins) peeped through the crack
of the door. Sherman laughing upon
the sacred soil of Louisiana is a solemn
subject for contemplation - Chicago IN

Bay This is democratic Republic,
and such it will remain, and nervous
people may as well lay the spectre of
imperialism with that comfortable re-
Election. They may, moreover, culti-
vate an assurance that if the safety of
the Republic in all its purity is ever
threatened, Grant may be relied upon
to employ himself in its defense. .-Bal-
ttmOre american.
RsS" When the lamented Henry Will
son was put on the ticket with Grant in
1868, there was feeling among many
of the best Republicans that James F.,
of Iowa, would have been the better
man for the place. There appears now
a disposition to correct the mistake, at
the same time all acknowledge that
Henry Wilson made an excellent Vice
President. city Journal
Bay~ Jefferson Davis seems to be the
only man in the United States who has
learned nothing in the past eighteen
years. Upon him the logic of events
has made no impression. Current his
tory carries everybody else down the
stream, while this venerable snag
anchors his feet in the past, and insists
upon remaining there. Amen! The
longer he stays there the sooner he will
be forgotten Cincinnati Enquirer.
Da~The Mobile Register felicitates
itself upon the fact that Alabama is
fast becoming a white mans State, and
asserts that she has now white popu-
lation exceeding the black 200, 900, thus
giving a preponderance of over 10000
white voters. In 1870 the whites out
numbered the blacks by 100000. Ala
bama is now good place to observe
the kind of equal and exact justice"
that is to be measured out to the black
race. Chicago IribU bUne.
Bag"It is probably good thing that
Tom Patterson has been nominated for
Congress by the fraud-shrieking De-
mocracy of Colorado. De facto Tom
had no more right to a seat in the last
Congress than any other man, except
that he was counted in by bare ma
jority of INSCRIPTIONS Democrats, and,
as Colorado is an undoubted Republi-
can State, we confidently expect to see
the disgrace that was put upon the peo-
pie by the Tilden Democracy wiped out
by Patterson's defeat at the polls.-
Chicago Tribune.
Bag- The Democratic party is badly at
sea on the financial question, holding
about as many different positions on It
as there are States. The Indiana DEM
ocrats declare in favor of an increase
of paper money and " the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the Re-
sumption act" The Michigan Demo
Gratis say, "we declare that gold and
silver coin is the money of the Consti-
tuition, and that paper currency should
be convertible into such coin at the will
of the holdern These positions are
diametrically opposed, yet the DemOc-
racy claim to be consiste mt. Indian
GpOtiS Journal.
DeS" The Greenback Labor party la
bors under one drawback, which enti-
ties it to sympathy. After nominating
its candidates for Governor in Michi-
gan and Pennsylvania it too late dis
covers the exasperating fact that they
are holders of bank stock and owners
of bonds. This is maddening thought.

ness of such ownership, has sold his
