POLITICAL NOTES.

Marble and Kelly combined have somewhat
dimmed Mr. Iilden's prospects.
The Potter Committees Horne seems to have
been entirely empty of everything except wind.
Isn't Chief-Justice Church a little too anxious
when be forgets his position 80 far to take part
in Democratic caucusf
If Voorhees, steps out of the Senate, and Butler
steps out Of the House, the country will DO able to
stop blushng for pair of its worst demagogues.
Thurman bullded better than he knew. He has
made the financial question the leading issue in
Ohio and the adjoining States, at the very time
when the people are ripe to profit by sound instruc-
ton on that SUBJECT
General Buffers faith in himself would move a
whole range OF mountains When New-Iiaven
Greenbackor expressed wish TO him inaugu-
rated President, Butler replied: Gan right, sir !;
that Will come IN tlme" How long does the Cen
eral expect tOliYe
Secretary Sherman evidently doesn't think Thur
man will make himself President by straddlnR, for,
according TO q correspondent of The Cleveland
Herald he says he does not imagine Mr. Thurman
will gain much by the singular changing of his
views on the financial question. He has been gong
altogether TOO far"
Sprinper's constituents have. strange to relate,
renominated him, and he has made that old speech
once more about fraud" He declared, for about
the twentieth time, that Hayes became President
through a bargain with the South, and promised
that the bargain would be shown up' by the Pot
ter Committee. II Springer has any means for
'ahowing IL up he will win the everlasting graft
tnde of Butler by bringing them forward.
The more Humans record is examined, the more
amazing does his somersaut appear. In one of mis-
speeches in the Senate in 1874 he protested against
banishng gold and silver and using paper currency
only-paper not only rredeemable, but depending
for ITS volume upon the will and caprice of the
ment. or upon the views of members Of Congress
seeking reelection or aspiring TO higher place. He
il now furnishing most emphatic evidence OF the
wisdom of his own words, by giving melancholy
example of the astonishing things statesman may
be capable of when he Is aspiring to higher
place."
Colonel George G. Vest Is prominent candidate
for United States Senator in Missouri, and in de-
6ning his views, IN order to show the Democracy OF
his State how closely he represents their sentiments
he saws do not believe that negroes ought to be
allowed TO vote any more than the orang-Outang
ouqht TO be allowed to vote. II everget Office. 1t
win be on this principle" Whether he ever gets
office or not remains to be seen. State which has
Contributed Bland aud Glover and Bnckner TO the
National collection is capable of almost anything,
and vet even Missouri ought to see tho wisdom OF
pulling down this Vest without ceremony.
Mr.. Robert Mackay, the Republican leader in
Pennsylvania. is most enthusiastic concerning the
party outlook there. He tells q reporter of The
philadelphia Record that the party is in far better
condition than it was when 1t gave Hartranft So
600 majority in 1872 and that the prospects
hundred per cent better than he ever knew them to
