POLITICdL NOTES.

few days ago, renominated all the
old members of the Legislature for
recollection,
The Democratic State Executive
Committee met Wednesday, with q
full attendance. Arrangements are
being perfected for q vigorous and
active campaign.
The Greenbackers Of Ohio have
already nominated two national
bank cashiers for Congress. This
seems to be n pretty direct blow at
the giant monopoly of national
banks.
Some of the implacable organs
out in Iowa express great Joy that
tho Republican party has been re-
lieved of Ben Butler. The next
most pleasing thing to them would
be to have Hayes drop out,
Should Butler get the Workings
mems nomination for governor Of
Massachusetts he may credit Mr.,
Dennis Kearney with it and if he ia
afterward defeated he may credi t
Kearney with that also.
President Hayes has given civil
service reform q little sop by the
appointment of B. II. Bristow as
counsel for the government in the
South Carolina cases. Small favors
thankfully received these days.
The Abheville primaries resulted
in the omination of Messrs. w.
K. Bradley, r. r. Hemphill, james
A, Rice, II. H. Harper and Samuel
MCGOWAN, Messrs. + A. Connor,
j. N. Cochran, F. + Gary and
John A. Robinson were unsucoess-
full. Senator j. G. Maxwell Was
renominated without opposition,
Congressman Foster says that
"Hayes will give as much toward
tue campaign fund Us any of his
predecessors Mr.. Foster may not
suppose there is any ambiguity in
that remark, but the actual truth is
that great many people expected
MIR. Hayes to be an improvement on
Ills PfeueceSsOrs.
Kearney to the Heathen Chinee {:
"By the heavens above and the stars
that are in it; by the moon, that
pale empress of the night by tho
sun that shines by day; by the earth
and all it's inhabitants, and by hell
beneath us, the Chinese must 60"
Heathen Oh inee to Kearney "You
no Mclean man dustee you'selfee !"
The President has assured Mr..
Jorgenson, Republican candidate
for Congress iii Virginia, that the
postmaster in his district ought to
help elect him. This assurance is,
no doubt, very comforting to Mr..
Jorgenson, but it might be more to
tho point if the President would pay
up his promised contribution to the
campaign fund.
Kearney isn't earning his salt.
We have had quite enough of his
talk to get a fair idea of his master
ly style in that line not only, but
also of the masterly style of the
eloquent western Congressman who
originated portion of one of
Kearney's speeches. The working
men are probably getting little
impatient to see him try his hand at
hanging an editor or q bondholder.
Carpet bag tactics seem to be
unsavory in the Democratic State
Convention of Louisiana. Four of
the New Orleans delegates having
been detected in IN effort to sell
their votes for State treasure, tho
convention promptly expelled them.
Another outrage upon the policy
that SO long prevailed in Louisiana.
If men must be honest in politics
down thut way, what have Kellogg
and his followers to live for r?
The name of Secretary Schurz
still remains at the head of the
Westlichce Post, !of st. Louis, as one
of it's editors, and the other day
that n newspaper made some remarks
to the effect that the President had
very good reason to be satisfied
with Mr.. Schurz, but "would to God
Mr.. Schurz had but half of the
reason to be satisfied with him."
It can hardly be possible that the
Secretary of the Interior has taken
his place among the implacables.
The most high-toned Congress.
sional investigation of the summer
has not yet begun. Mr.. Patterson,
of South Carolina. better known
