POLITICAL NOTES

Butler can't steal a Governors chair so easily as
he stole "A hall.
Whatever else may DO said of the politics of the
period, nobody can call them dull
The temperature of Massachusetts is a trife
higher than 1t mas been since the Boston fire.
Kearney very appropriately exhibited himself as
an after piece TO tho Butler comedy III Worcester.
Buffers fate depends largely upon the size of the
respectable portion of the Massachusetts DemOc-
racy.
The favorite New England Democratic method Of
fighting Greenbackism seems 70 be to run away
from II.
Has the Potter Committee abandoned its purpose
of unfurliug its forged Sherman letter before the
October electiOnsi Has " fraud" also sucumbed to
Greenbacksf
The astonishing silence Of Buffers platform on the
Greenbaok question probably means that he is afraid
20 array the entire moneyed interests Of the State
against him for self preservation.
Senator Thurman does not appear TO advantage
in his efforts TO prevent honest election in Gin
elnnati. Mr.. Thurman can't afford TO act the
Democrat In this way.
The latest complaint about Uncle Jimmy Blue
Jeans Of Indiana Is that he ia selling his own cattle
to the State for what they weigh OH his farm rather
than Tor what they weigh after transportation.
Uncle Jimmy said before he became Governor that
he should the State the same plan his farm,
aud he seems 70 be doing IL.
Among the gentlemen named as possible Repub-
hcan candidates for Congress in the With New-Jer-
sey District is Colonel John j. Toffey. Colonel
TofFey was gallant soldier, has always been an
earnest Republican, and unites superior business
capacity with varied experience In public affairs
His common sense and absolute integrity of oharao
ter are universally recognised and no man IN Jersey
